A day off and now back to work!

Life got crazy and I didn't post yesterday. Consider that your day of rest. One or two days a week should be dedicated to rest. You can still take a walk, clean house, do yard work, or any other activity that keeps you moving. It all counts! Now it is time to get back to kicking it up! First, I have a yummy recipe for breakfast. I'm trying it tomorrow. I have all the ingredients. I'm proud of myself for having these in my kitchen!

Berry yogurt, granola parfait

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sliced strawberries
  • 3/4 cup blueberries
  • 1 (6 ounce) container vanilla yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon wheat germ
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1/3 cup granola

Directions

  1. Layer 1/4 cup strawberries, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1/3 container yogurt, 1/3 tablespoon wheat germ, 1/3 of the sliced banana, and about 2 tablespoons of granola in a large bowl. Continue to build the parfait, repeating the layers until all of the ingredients are used completely.

Challenge of the day -  After a day of rest it is time to get back to some cardio. Do an hour of power walking, running, dancing, or some other high intensity workout. Make sure you stretch before and after. That is the best part! Now go!!!!

Tip of the day - Drink plenty of water. Keeping hydrated will keep you from getting fatigued and keep you from getting headaches. I get migraines if I forget to drink water. Plain water is best but there are many sugar free flavors if that will help you drink more water. Keep water next to your all day. 

How is your week going?
