Spring has sprung! Warmer weather, allergies, flowers. More walkers around my neighborhood.
I’ve started my spring cleaning, yikes! Purging clothes and household items that I haven’t used or worn in years. My charitable organizations will be receiving my “treasures” soon. And it feels so good to purge and make room.
Someone told me a long time ago that when you purchase a new item of clothing, to get rid of one item. I
haven’t done that in years so I think I’ll start following that philosophy! Makes sense, right?
Another item on my spring list is to find healthy recipes and not only save the recipes but actually make them! LOL! One I found is Blueberry Yogurt Protein Bars.
1 cup of plain yogurt, 2 tsp. honey, 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup slivered almonds.
Mix honey and yogurt, stir in blueberries and almonds. Drop by tablespoons onto tray and freeze about 2 hours. Makes about 18-25 bites.
I did make these and they are really delicious. You can also alternate with chopped walnuts.
My goal before the summer heat hits us is to try to walk mornings around the neighborhood for at least 20-30 minutes. I plug in my earphones to my iPod and listen to some really upbeat music.
But always carry a bottle of water while you’re walking. Also take your cell phone. One of my neighbors fell and had to wait until someone came to help.
Remember that with the warmer weather, we need to hydrate more! Rule of thumb – divide your weight (be honest) by two and that would be how many ounces of pure water your body will need each day. Sounds like a lot but really isn’t.
Enjoy life – as we are not promised tomorrow!
POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND HAPPY HEALTH TO ALL!
