🌞Everyday, I greet👋 GOD☝️ as soon as I 😵awake😲 and right before I go to 😴sleep💤 plus any moment in between. As I welcome His presence by opening my window 🌅shades🌇 to bring in the 🌈sunlight☀️, I simply pray🙏
This is the day the LORD has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
I love to wake up to Sweet Annie from slumber and cat naps! 😻
Then throughout the day, I’ll pray before 💻working🎤, 🍕eating🍧 and 🚘traveling✈️. Prior to 🍱meals🍮, I have series of prayer💒 cards, yet I have a couple that are short and sweet…
I packed this picnic real quick for after my Holy Hour. 💝
Here’s how I rack up those miles while tracking those smiles (even just in this past week alone without any moan or groan):
Since I tend to be overprotective of my truck, I park my caboose further away from other vehicles and thus work out my own caboose by walking a longer distance! At least I put my legs to good use instead of being lazy!
I burn calories after a hearty meal, whether with my military buddy or my Church bestie, either at the indoor track or doing or the Mall walk (I actually did the latter with both of them)!
The park called my name after Church ~ so I couldn’t resist fitting in my track time to myself and GOD to pray on my merry way!
While I’m walking down the hallways at work (both jobs), I usually do so at a fast pace ~ therefore, sometimes my colleagues or students think that I’m in a hurry or on a race ~ yet I’m simply making haste while quickening my heartbeat and my feet! 👣
When you have a workout buddy, you reap these many rewards:
* enhancing & improving your athletic skills, through teaching & learning from your exercise partner
* accountability & obligation to your partner ~ so no excuses
* strengthening your friendship
* making the time go by faster when you’re having fun!
Regardless of the activity, y’all choose, the experience is beneficial, both physically and socially!
Last Thursday, after Adoration, I jogged with my Church buddy from Chapel to the Disc Golf park. The round trip run was about five miles, including this scenic route. We flicked the disc, and I got great tips from both him and my college friend, the DG guru!
Last night, I hit the court to shoot hoops with my Pinoy boy to relieve stress. Since I’m a much better spectator from the sidelines and stands than a player on the floor, I caught some decent shots… Of photos!
This was from Working Out Gets Girls* one of Rick’s Man Tutorials, starring Philip Wang of Wong Fu Productions. Ok, so I wouldn’t go that far (unless they were a stretchy pair of jeggings that feel like yoga pants without showing camel toe). Actually, the only times when I’d wear jeans to the gym were when I worked at my local gym a decade ago.
Well, the weekend before last, I hit the track with my folks for the first time in a long while after Church.

My mom told me that I wasn’t dressed up appropriately.
Exercise in comfort and style ~ putting this to good use @ Walk to End Alzheimers [2013] {running skirt/shorts combo from C9 by Champion}
I’d recommend these pieces when you’re on-the-go: walking while doing errands, but definitely not these open-toed shoes while you’re doing higher-impact or more strenuous exercise: running, tumbling, lifting weights, etc.
An outfit that I work out in actually offers resistance as I move!

When I went to the park to walk with my parents again last week, my mom didn’t mention anything wrong with my choice of apparel anymore!

Today, I look forward to going to the base gym (which, in my opinion, has the most top-of-the-line amenities compared to the rest of our citywide health clubs) with Evie! Enjoy your summer training sessions with a workout buddy to have fun, whether on the run or in the sun☼
