Don’t Waste a Minute!
It’s been a bit rough today. One of my business associates lost his son in an accident, and another dear friend of mine is going in for his fourth surgery in three weeks tomorrow. It made me think how nothing, and I mean nothing, is more precious than our health and our lives. I hope my associate told his son how much he loved him before he left the house that evening. I hope we all leave each of our loved ones with uplifting words of love and praise when we depart their company. We may never see them again, and we don’t want our last words to our loved ones to be angry or harsh.
Treasure every moment. Delight in the mundane. So much of life is routine and we run on autopilot. Savor the things that you may normally dismiss without a thought. Find a way to make them more fun, and to share as many moments with those you love as you can.
Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away now. It’s so hard to defy your cravings and all that tempting food this time of year. I posted a recipe for a healthy living Pumpkin Roll on the Defiant Recipes page. Try making that and taking it with you. The host will appreciate your contribution, you will have an awesome healthy dessert, and maybe even convert some of the SAD people to living foods! That’s a good way to eat healthy—contribute your own delicious foods and share them with everyone.
The average Thanksgiving meal now runs a whopping 4500 calories! That’s twice as much as we need in an entire day! Many heart attacks occur after such a huge meal of foods that strain our bodies and organs. Be careful, and know your limitations. If you indulge a little, then savor every bite slowly and enjoy your bliss. Don’t beat yourself up. Just get right back into your healthy lifestyle at the next meal. The worst thing you can do is to ‘leftover’ yourself to death. Moderation is the key. And having the same foods for several meals is NOT moderation!
Tonight’s workout was Chest and Triceps. Michael worked out with me tonight, so I had more rest between sets than last night.
- Warmup with cable flyes, increasing weights.
- Hammer Strength Press machine, 30-40 lbs each side
- Incline Barbell Press, 65 pounds
- Bodyweight Dips, for Chest and Triceps
- Tricep superset of pushdowns and bench dips
Post workout smoothie was the Cherry Bomb with added acai. Mmmmmm…one of my very favorites. It’s on the Defiant Recipes page.
Oh, and I finished my Spirulina Pie today. I will SO be making that again tomorrow! 
I treasure your friendship and appreciate you. Thanks so much for visiting. Please feel free to post any comments below.
Defy apathy—enjoy every minute!

hi Christy,
Are you going to put up the recipe for the Spirulina pie?
