* Veterans * Victory * Virtue

Please join yours truly as I salute and pay tribute to

my hardworking heroic father from the *United States Air Force* while approaching the retirement of his post-military career in aviation
my Great-Uncle Terry from the *U.S. Navy* before he reaches nine decades of life
my *Airman* cousin Jeryl who’s safely and soundly back Stateside from his deployment
my Bro Ryan from the *United States Marine Corps* who now is expecting my first niece/nephew with my sis and attending MBA school
my *Airman* brother-in-law Eric in his second tour in the ROK
my many friends who’ve served the great *US of A*

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:

I hit the track after my Holy Hour at our ♥Adoration♥ †Chapel† right before my committee conference call
I’ve done more HIITs and toning up to ease my test anxiety up until today’s full faculty meeting

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!!!

¡Biénvenidos de … El Paso!

I found this fortune while cleaning my classroom after our fall finals!

This past weekend, I took a rare break off to travel to the westernmost tip of Texas ~ visiting my Air Force brat bestie for her hubby’s and another fellow AF brat/veteran’s graduation from The University of Texas at El Paso with their degrees in Criminal Justice!
