I love nature!! Until I was 12 I lived in Colorado and spent many weekends/summers camping, hiking and site seeing with my family. I really grew to love nature~ however with the having kids and a thriving business, I’ve had less time to be in NATURE…one of my dreams is to see some of the top natural wonders of the world.
the 7 natural wonders of the world list off as follows:
1-Grand Canyon- this is a no brainer…I have to see it within the next 5 years
2-Great Barrier Reef…Not sure if I have a huge desire to see this, but if it happens, I am sure it will be cool.
3-Harbor of Rio de Janeiro- I am not sure what this even is?? But Rio de Janeiro, sounds like a beach!
4-Mount Everest- this is a must see
5-Northern Lights- I’ve seen these a little bit 
…but I’d love to get further north to see them MORE
6-Paricutin volcano- a real live volcano would be INSANE to see!!
7-Victoria Falls- I would LOVE to see these!!!
at this point in my life just getting out on a walking trail, bike ride or even a run really helps center me and bring me back to nature. It is so refreshing and beautiful to inhale the natural beauty of God’s creation!!
Yesterday I did my lunges!! and a small yet effective home upper body workout that included:
push ups
pull ups
military press
lateral raises
bowflex flys, presses and tri extensions
bicep curls
I also rode my upright bike for about 5 mins total and did some jumping abs.
My goal for today is to have a good leg workout and get in a run even if it is just for 11 mins on the treddy 
Keep rockin!!!

I live in the countryside in the UK and I adore being outside. I walk my little girl somewhere every day and I’ve just started running again so I get to see the beautiful English weather first hand
we had such beautiful weather in Omaha this weekend!!! took the top off the Jeep and soaked it all in!
yard work and jogging with the dog was a pleasure!
Its been so hot here!!! But I am determined to get outside and walk with the baby today!
We love the Colorado outdoors…. Going fishing, hiking, biking, and snowshoeing!
I too love the outdoors!
I saw a little of the northern lights too and would love to go more north to see them more!
I nedd to break down my meals into smaller portions..so that I’m eating six instead of three through out the day..portions are anothere I’m having a little trouble..I want to keep it from being a big ol thing..or from being just a few bites..
Just walking out to the mailbox across the street can make a BIG difference. Fresh air in your lungs and you feel refreshed!
I hope everyone had a great new year weekend. To many it’s back to work and to others it’s time to set foot back in the gym for the first time this year. Stick to your resolutions this year. Believe in yourself and be successful!
Amen!!
It’s been a mild winter so far, so walking the dogs, and sweeping leaves have been an outdoor activity today. First day of the New Year.
Up till today it was warm here too…but today was COLD!
Taught my first RIPPED Class this morning. Cardio and wts in one workout!
I live in NC and the weather has been great. I spent time outdoors on most days. I love washing my SUV myself. I do a great job. lol. Today is the forst day of a new year. My workout out is complete. Cardio and upper body.
Sounds like good goals…I live in Hawaii, so I want to go diving more often
Oh yeah, I forgot you lived in Colorado…so pretty there…you need to add Glacier National Park to your list…gorgeous!!!

I love being outdoors, except for when it’s cold. That triggers my asthma.
