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 : to promote mental focus
Centrum VitaMints® : to aquire essential nutrients in a tasty way
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 Mix : Since almonds helped my bod during my 26.2-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 ‘s 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 ’til your ♥heart’s ♪content♫ ~ or your grub is ready
Stretch
Relieve those muscles after sitting at the computer desk and before sitting down to eat
Happy Early Halloween, All †Saints’ Day y el Día de los Muertos! ✌

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!

Two months ago …
Tito Regie (visiting from the PI🌴): When’s the BiG day ?
Yours truly : 🙏GOD-willing, December 2015 !
Uncle Reg meant when I’d become Mrs. So & So , & I meant when I’d become Dr. Dispo ! 💒💍🏤

Just like many brides👰🏽 may 👣step👟 up their 🏈A-game🏀 to get wedding -ready, I as a 🎓Ph.D. candidate am doing everything in my power that backs up my dissertation , up until the day of my full defense:
First of all, I’ve been wearing my class ring on my left hand since I received it after my candidacy (compare engagement/popping-the-question to comprehensive exams/answering-the-questions )
Waking up every morning with it on my mind and tuning those thoughts into actions that support it (contacting folks [like in wedding planning], writing [like in marriage vows])
Posting affirmations to remind me of my goal everyday, including this gorgeous reminder ~ inspired by TIU ‘s K&K👙 in FFF📖 (this note is posted on my dashboard )
YES, I made it up: PhD for Pretty HOT Driver ~ what can I say? This. Is. LEGIT. #fuego
Keeping my defense dress👗 hung up in plain view ~ so I can see it and envision myself presenting🎤 my paper📜 (I’ll also have a dress👔 rehearsal/run-through to practice while wearing it ahead of time)
Exercising both my body and my brain for the physical and mental fitness to endure and persevere
Hitting the sack one night closer from turning this 🌈dream💭 into a reality🏆
Last, but certainly not least and actually the most important :
Always PRAY .

Happy April Fools’ Day! Rather than joke and be broke (can’t quit my day job ), how about I share the wealth of health ?
While styling your hair, you might as well knock multiple birds ~ or in this case, leg m uscles ~ with one stone and be bad to the bone * and rock solid!
10-20 reps while you heat-dry or iron each section:
squats (alternate sets of narrow, wide, plié)
lunges (sets of the same leg, then switch)
glute lifts (alternate between each leg)
knee raises (alternate between each leg)
thigh raises (sets of the same leg then switch)
calf raises (both legs at the same time)
Your thighs look like sweet potato pies!
That was a line from my fellow trainer ‘s brand-spankin’ new single, 1994

This jam makes me want to dance ~ so now I can get my ♥cardio♥ on!
