Tomorrow is the Big Day , as my family and take off to my Dissertation Defense !
Meanwhile, we actually caught three films on DVD during THANKSgiving weekend:
Initially, I only was interested in Aloha , mainly for the Air Force (not to mention Bradley Cooper , Emma Stone who I especially liked as Gwen Stacy from The Amazing Spider-Man , and Rachel McAdams from The Notebook that we watched on our first Movie Night with my parents as empty nesters a decade ago) ~ but I ended up sticking around with my folks for the rest to make the most out of our time together (and ended up getting hair inspiration from the other two movies ~ especially from Blake Lively as Adeline , a.k.a. Amanda and Jenny).
After I present my sports study , these are the *NEW* football flicks that I must catch that are relevant to my research:

Two-Day Game Warning: Almost the End of Regulation !
As I approach my Big Day (Public Dissertation Defense ) to complete my Doctor of Philosophy , my journey toward this ultimate goal may be drawing to a close while my next one toward my career advancement will begin.
However, my Ph.D. pursuit has helped me grow, not just professionally , but also personally , and most of all: spiritually . Furthermore, this undertaking couldn’t have been accomplished single-handedly: GOD’s grace provided, JESUS’ example was all-sided, and the HOLY SPIRIT’s light guided, in addition to Team Dr. D, who had my back. I forever will be grateful to the †Heavenly HOLY TRINITY† and my positive supporters here on Earth , who’ve rooted me on all the way , leading up to this Tuesday, December 8 ~ save-the-date
My next anticipated title this Advent : Tita Elaine .
We expect my future niece or nephew to arrive around CHRISTmas time ~ the very 1st grandchild of my parents , who recently celebrated their ♥wedding♥ anniversary . Yes, my family is very blessed . Regardless of these joyous times, I pray that we’ll always turn to the LORD , as we lead our lives here while preparing our eternal home in Heaven .
Sending peace and goodwill to San Bernadino, CA, in the wake of this terrorist tragedy. ✌

* V eterans * V ictory * V irtue
Please join yours truly as I salute and pay tribute to
This also is a special Veterans’ Day as I passed my full faculty defense according to GOD’s perfect plan !
While our military heroes engage in rigorous physical training, with PT tests that time:
1½-mi. runs
### push-ups
### sit-ups
I did my share of high impact activity to prepare my energy for this AM’s event …
Just like I’ve connected almonds with energy for my full marathon as an analogy for my multiple regression statistical analyses , I’ve tied in what worked for me on the days I passed my previous rounds :
Here’s my training session from yesterday to work both the lower and upper bod :
2 for Tuesday : Double Whammy beyond the Moons on my Hammy
Simultaneous Moves for 20 reps/set with body weight or light resistance (ankle or wrist wraps, dumb bells or bands)
Squats (legs ) & Shoulder Raises (delts and traps )
T-Bird Dead Lifts (booty ) & Rows (back )
Extensions 2 Ways ~ Standing (quads ) & Overhead (tris )
Curls 2 Ways ~ Standing (hams ) & Upward (bis )
Trunk Twist (core ) Curtsy Lunges (legs )
Ab -duction (inner thighs & waistline )
CHEERS to ALL of our service men and women in uniform who’ve
fought for our freedom, both in the States and overseas
bled for our country, earning themselves the Purple Heart
died for those freedoms, earning themselves the Flag
as well as ALL of our military families who experience the sacrifice.
Thank you, GOD, the Saints and the Angels for watching over us!!!

While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®
I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath !
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression ) for my doc research !
Study Mode Trail Mix26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process , they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy , as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory !
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation , a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes , I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie birthday advice ), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
Dance
Stretch
Relieve those muscles computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

Alex Rodriguez has had my ♥heart♥ as a MLB *superstar*
♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: ♠A-Rod♠ *Texas Rangers*
since he was a rookie with the Seattle Mariners over two decades ago
through his career with the Texas Rangers
and even when he went to the New York Yankees
♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: My blue-eyed girl ♥Asia♥ ♠A-Rod♠ *Texas Rangers* (selfie with my digi-cam before they existed on our smartphones & before iPhones existed!)
Despite the scandals that earned him a spot on my Top 5 Bawlers Ballers
in the ball park
and off the field
♫Strolling Down Memory Lane♪ ☼Sunday☼ Cruise throwback: I still sported my love for ♠A-Rod♠

Happy Columbus Day!
As I prepare for my committee defense , I’m connecting and comparing my upcoming dissertation presentations to playoffs for post-season sports :
First Series: Committee Defense (for my team of 3 professors) — 2 Rounds anticipatedSecond Series: Faculty Defense (for my entire conference of professors) — 2-3+ Rounds anticipatedThird and Final Champion shipPublic Dissertation Defense Doctor and everybody) — last Round, a.k.a. the Final Reveal well-anticipated graduation
So, who is my competition, you ask?
I could say my faculty of professors, but they’re on my side to succeed, so I’ll have to go with myself on my level of resilience to determine whether I stay and sustain through the game: Yours Truly vs. Yours Truly
I got this! Bring on the determination and confidence fear and dis couragement
Also, my good family friend, fellow devout Catholic, my ♥Tita Lydia♥ pointed out to me this:

Since most of my energy and time are being spent on my dissertation , I’ve minimized my exercise
Sweaty Selfie : Shake Weight catches my reflection as I put in some action!
Yet I still fit it in
No need for the gym ~ I’ve got the gear that I need here, while sporting my fave teams: Dallas Mavericks * Dallas Cowboys Texas Rangers
As I catch up on chores
As I dust my dresser that have decor, I also display jewelry and photos that I score!
Both inside the house
And outdoors !
More watches to witness my fitness + parabands that my student’s son made for his how-to speech
My favorite physical activity:
Dancing !
I also ♫sing♪ to work out those vocal chords !
Wow, speaking of black & gold, my students ‘ homecoming is coming up …
Therefore, both my body and soul are refreshed!
