Be Present

Be Present

In The Moment

❤

I used to live my life in every other moment but the present.   I found myself wishing moments away.  Wishing for moments better.  Wishing for moments past.

I didn’t fully appreciate the moment that was happening right in front of me.  

Life is about living in the now, the moment, the here, the present.

This moment right now will never happen again.

Don’t miss the beauty of it.  Don’t wish it away.

The way I live my life has changed over the years.   I make a conscious effort to soak up every moment.  I want to live a full life.   A full existence.

My life is happy and full of love, energy, focus, dedication, enjoyment, appreciation.

Living for today is my happy.

I am happy.

LIFE is happy

❤

My new tattoo symbolizes my effort to be in the moment, every single day, in every single moment.

2015 is here… what are you going to do with it?

Choose to be present.  Choose to be in the moment. Choose happy.

Natural Peanut Butter Honey Bites

My friend, Ashley, brought these to work a few weeks ago and I officially fell in love.   The perfect sweet treat with nutritional value.  I am so obsessed with these little bites of goo that I have now made them for a group fitness holiday party as well as three Christmas parties.   They make a great healthy alternative for all those sugary fatty treats that are looming this time of the year.

Make sure you use natural peanut butter, unsweetened coconut and raw honey to get all the nutritional values without all the extra artificial sweetener and ingredients.  You can buy crunchy peanut butter, or take unsalted peanuts and crush them into your peanut butter for some extra crunch.  Scoop into mini baking cups, store covered in fridge.

Interlocking Gym Floor Mats

I use my basement a lot to workout, even though I also hit the gym daily.    Being an instructor requires practice!  🙂   I asked Santa for a set of interlocking mats for our floor.  Tile and shins don’t play well together no matter how supportive your sneakers are.

Yesterday I practiced Round 10 Insanity.   I am rolling that out to my classes to ring in the New Year.

Gym mat verdict?

WIN!

The only downfall is they slide on the tile so I am going to have to buy some sort of backing for the mats to grip the floor.

Any suggestions?

I was thinking those grippy shelving liners  might work.

Any ideas you have would be super!!
