Carpe Diem... Homestead

NASCAR ~ Martin Truex Jr. won the race and the championship! Bravo! A. Dillon came in 11th in the race. McDowell came in 24th. Looking forward to February.

What needs to be done, today?

Finding quotes from my Holiday, USA books to make into memes, thanks to Donna Keevers Driver.

~ Kneaders' Cranberry Pistachio Bread, wish it was available year round, but maybe it's a good thing it isn't, considering how much I eat. I should by stock.

~ EVIT's (East Valley Technical Institute) Pumpkin Toffee Quick Bread is delicious.

~ Sunrise Alarm clock: My new alarm clock uses increasing light as the "alarm." I like it.

76. An Inconvenient Beauty (Hawthorne House series book 5) by Kristi Ann Hunter the last in the series of Regency Christian romance. I loved the series so much I bought it in book format, except the first A Lady of Esteem, which is only available in eformat. If it were available in paperback, I'd buy it, too.

77. The Path to Oneness: Your Healing Partner's 12 Holistic Transformation Principles by Lacresha Hayes shares her self-help hints. It's short and easy to read. Good points. 

78. Gideon and Kylie (Buckley, Texas: Rolling Star Ranch series book 1) by Sharon Gillenwater western contemporary Christian romance. Charming. I know some people don't like that word, but I like it. Sharon is one of my Must Read authors.

79. Love Song (Buckley, Texas series book 1) by Sharon Gillenwater western contemporary Christian romance. I should have read the this series before reading Gideon and Kylie, as it's a continuation. The books stand alone, but people are introduced in other stories. Loved it!

80. Texas Treasure (Buckley, Texas series book 2) by Sharon Gillenwater western contemporary Christian romance. Sharon's characters aren't perfect, and it's a joy to journey with them through becoming better people and falling in love.

REAL Week 433

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:

Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. So my SEAL puppy reps (SEALp) consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each.  Since my accident I haven't done these, but I'm working to add them back into my routine.

PT ~ Physical therapy

UB ~ Upper body exercises

SEALFit shared some good hints I want to learn and remember:
