I am enjoying a super foods lunch today. I have baby spinach - slightly wilted with haved baby tomatoes, and sliced avocado. Then I will have a greek yogurt with blueberries and a drizzle of honey. My snack later will be an apple. Everything I just listed is a super food. Easy!
Love, Tee

Great stuff on YAHOO!
Good morning partners!
I spend a little time each morning drinking a fizzy drink and looking at interesting stories I find on the YAHOO! news feed. Here are a couple of links that I found this morning that are in line with our Abundant Healthy Living Goals.

Tips for Healthy Living
I found this little tidbit on msn.com, and find it fascinating. I know I'll try them all.
Cutting just 100 calories daily can stave off creeping weight gain — and that can decrease your risk of developing breast cancer. National Cancer Institute researchers tracked the weights of nearly 100,000 postmenopausal women from the time they were teens and found those who had gained even a few pounds since age 18 had a greater risk of the disease. (The women weren't using HT, a known risk factor.) Here, easy ways to cut calories — and your risk:
Replace 8 ounces lemonade (110 calories) with lemon-flavored seltzer (0).
Trade a multigrain kaiser roll (180) for half of a whole-wheat pita (70).
Toss whole-wheat pasta with 1 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes (60) instead of 1 cup tomato sauce (160).
Substitute 1/4 cup garden vegetable cream cheese (180) with 2 wedges Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb Cheese (70).
Spread a sandwich with 2 tablespoons hummus (50) instead of 2 tablespoons mayo (180).
Swap 7 Hershey's Kisses (179) for 30 semisweet chocolate chips (70).
For more easy ways to cut 100 calories, go to prevention.com/100 calories.

BRISK Walk This Morning!
Temps are cooled off again. Actually feels more natural than the summery heat we've just been through. It did make my morning walk a bit nippy though! I know that means my step was a bit faster so I could get home to warm up.
Regardless, I LOVE starting my days with a walk outside!

Quinoa - Finally tried it!
I know San has talked about this healthy grain before and I've been curious to try it. Well, I finally did and on guests as well! Isn't that brave of me. :-)
We had cornish hens, fresh steamed asparagus and quinoa with toasted pinenuts, scallions and fresh basil. Nice, nice combination. I must admit, I did drizzle some of the 'juice' from the cornish hens on top of the quinoa for a little extra flavor. All in all, it was a great meal. I was impressed by the high fiber AND high protein content in this grain. Definitely has high nutritional quality. I'd recommend this to anyone who has not yet tried this.
I consider this a successful first experience and look forward to incorporating this more often into future meals now!

Walking!
Good Morning!
With this weather, outdoor walks are so inviting! My neighborhood had nice wide streets and some slight hills so it is perfect. My goal is to walk everyday for a least a bit.
Enjoy!

Making it a GREAT Day!
I got Saturday off to a GREAT Start. I took my first long walk in the neighborhood for the year - a little over an hour and i think it's a little over 4 miles. I walked down every cul de sac on my route - about 9 of them. Drank 16 oz of water during this time. And I found 2 dimes! A profitable walk if I say so myself.
And I found a 4-leaf clover! I've been finding 4-leaf clovers since I was a little girl. I just can't resist finding at least one every year - keeps that child in me alive!
And my treat for that wonderful metabolism boost is an Arbonne vanilla shake with strawberries and a banana mixed in for good measure. Yum Yum!
Remember to do something good for yourself today - you'll thank yourself for it later!
Love! Gerri

Anything is Better than Nothing
I think my posting inspirations this week follow the theme of Principles. We'll see how long I keep this up. It's kind of fun to do it this way.
Today started early so I didn't get in my walk. So how do I fit in my exercise? Hmmmm. Well, the backyard needed some attention so I got out the rake, spent time raking up leaves, picking up branches, trimming and then vacuuming up the leaves. I figured that all counts as exercise and fits with 'Anything is Better than Nothing!'
And I soaked up some wonderful Vitamin D while I was at it. What a Great Day!
