* 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!!!

Motivate with a Moving Mate! 🏆

Dig the alliteration and the rhyme? These are methods that I’ve been teaching my speech students and always applying on the daily! 🎤

Lately, I’ve had a blast with my fave baller from high school, with whom I reunited this past Homecoming weekend! 🏈

We’ve hit the court for sports of all sorts! 🏀

We’ve ran in the indoor and the outdoor track to prevent slack! 👟

We also did bowl because that’s how we roll! 🎳

And we even shot pool since we’re always cool! 🎱

Oh yeah, and how could I forget our abs so we still stay fabs? 💪

Thanks, USMC and U.S. Army Sgt. Kyle, for always taking time to go the extra mile and make me smile! 😍

†GOD Bless the U.S.A. Happy Belated Memorial Day♥

I hope that you all took the time to toast tribute to our service men and women who sacrificed their lives for the sake of our nation’s freedom! My favorite veteran, my dad, was the Airman with whom I commemorated our fallen military members, along with my mom, my sister and her Marine/my brother-in-law. Our late paternal great-grandfather actually was a soldier, and my great-uncle, who is my late maternal grandmother’s only surviving sibling, was a sailor man…

This past weekend, my mom’s birthday celebration continued with the Journey concert in Dallas on Memorial Day Eve. Joanne, my sis, actually bought our family tickets before the holidays last year! Since the show that opened with Tower of Power and also featured the Steve Miller Band was outdoors, I just wanted to be laid-back and down-to-earth. However, I now reminisce about other concerts that I attended and will present to you my get-up for a few of them…

Pat Green ~ Abilene, TX (2005)

Instead of getting dolled up like this Baby Doll beside me, I sported a Pat Green baseball tee!

“It came upon me Wave on Wave” ~ Pat Green

Blaine’s Picnic ~ San Angelo, TX (2006)

All I needed at our Texas Country Music Festival was my cowboy hat & a smile! {Stars & Stripes Bikini by my former employer, Old Navy}

Blaine’s Picnic features Texas Country‘s finest!

Evanescence ~ Hidalgo, TX (2007)

Evanescence visited el Valle on Halloween, so I dressed in USAF BDUs while Asia gave out candy! {Camo Sandals by Steve Madden}

Evanescence’s lead singer, Amy Lee, was the sexy bombshell Scarilyn Monroe {my camera wasn’t allowed on site back then, so this is from the site @ bottom right}

New Kids On The Block ~ Hidalgo, TX (2009)

I repped my fave childhood boy band, New Kids, on my block as I rock out this NKOTB Breast Cancer Awareness tank top! {Shorts by Abercrombie & Fitch}

The moment I’ve been waiting for for 2 decades: NKOTB takes the stage!

My fave part of the NKOTB concert? Jordan Knight singing “I’ll Be Loving You (Forever)” en español to put the personal touch to us fans en el Valle!
