Back on Track!



Back on track! Yesterday I had almond milk over Ezekial cereal with fresh raspberries and blueberries for breakfast, salad with tuna for lunch and baked chicken thighs (couldn't light the grill - no gas?) with salad and sweet potato and some nuts for a snack! I did sneak a Pepsi, but I bought the 7.5 oz. ones to wean me off! :-) AMAZING (there's that word again!) what you can do when you have the time! I know I know, we all have the same 24 hours in a day; it's how we choose to use them!

Today I'm starting my day with a Green Smoothie in my Ninja Kitchen System 100 that I bought last Fall and am just now using. Fresh kale, organic baby romaine, fresh pineapple, blueberries and raspberries! I forgot to put the banana in so I ate that on the side! Really tastes gooood!  Need some inspiration and recipes?  Check out

I'm determined to make this a habit (I have 40 days!) to keep it going! I even went to my studio and used my 14" high fanny-lifter step stool (from The Firm) for some exercises on Monday afternoon. Going to work out 3 days a week - don't really need extreme 7 day workouts in my life! :-)



Fitness was always my life B.C. (Before Computers) ~ teaching P.E., teaching aerobics, Personal Training, Z-Heath.  So glad to have the time to get back into it!

Cheers!



Mid-day snack as I rearranged furniture ( a past-time of mine!) was cantaloupe, organic grapes, fresh mozzarella cheese and pitted Kalamata olives.  Don't forget to drink plenty of water!  I drink filters water WITH my food, but when I drink a lot of water during the day I lean toward Poland Springs, Fuji  or Evian so that I get the minerals from them.



Late lunch - Salad with organic greens, petite carrots, Roma tomatoes, artichokes, roasted red peppers, black olives, Kalamata olives, cucumbers and Paul Newman Lite Northern Italian dressing.  I'm not a big fan of Lite dressings, but they didn't have the Northern Italian in the regular kind and the sugar content was still pretty low.  Topped it off with a leftover chicken thigh from last night's dinner  and added a slice of Rye bread with real butter to complement the meal.



Left over Ginger & Garlic marinated steak tips with fresh green beans for dinner. it was a good, good, day!











I think I'll try this Raspberry-Watermelon Smoothie tomorrow.

Day #12 Part 1, Fri. 7/13

Friday the 13th was an AWESOME day! Started the early day off with a Chobani raspberry yogurt before taking the 7:04 Amtrak Downeaster to Boston for my PhotoWalks Tour of the Boston waterfront. Packed some water because it was going to be a hot one! Got into North Station around 8:20 and my tour wasn't until 10.  I just HAD to have a few last photos taken with Ray Allen in the TD Garden before they take him down! I had plenty of time to get to the Old State House Museum to meet for the tour so I walked over to Quincy Market and then up to State & Washington Streets. There was a sweet man sitting on the bench with his dog playing some sort of French percussion instrument. He had a little dog on the bench next to him .  I asked if I could take some photos of him and he gladly obliged.  I told him about the upcoming Hearts & Hands Show and he asked if the doggie's paw counted! :-)  I took several photos and then Saba, the tour leader arrived. There w...

I'm Happiest with Camera in Hand!

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life! For 37 years I've been doing what I love, teaching children and adults.  Now I'm preparing for the next chapter of my life, RETIREMENT and taking photos & creating art.  Spring and summer have been busy, but oh what fun! I started off with a Spring Apple Blossom Family Photo Shoot for the Croeber family. The blossoms had passed, but I was able to perform some magic with some apple blossom photos I had taken a week before!  Always up for a challenge!   Later in May I was surrounded by love and cuteness when I photographed Katelyn, Kevin & 10-week old baby Jayden.  We had a beautiful, yet breezy day to take outdoor photos at North Hampton State Beach and Plaice Cove before moving indoors.  I'm so in love with these images!   I'm convinced the flowers loved our long, cold winter. From lupine to poppies to peonies and roses, they have been nothi...

Sneak Peek for Kristin & Stephen “Tie the Knot❣️“

 Each wedding is unique. Even though we basically start with close to the same photo list there are always individual requests that are special to each couple. I try to bring out the essence & individuality of each couple for their special day❣️ Here is the Sneak Peek for Kristin & Stephen's beautiful wedding day! They'd never been to York so when I said we needed photos at Nubble, Kristin said, "If we have time!"  Ummmmm, NO! We need to make time . . . and we're glad we did!    My 3rd wedding in 3 months and final one of 2022 for me!  Two hearts, one from New Hampshire and one from Newfoundland, were united in a small, intimate ceremony surrounded by close family members & lots of love at York Harbor Inn in York, Maine when Kristin and Stephen literally “tied the fisherman’s double knot❣️” on July 6, 2022.
