I just needed a little beach in my day!

First of all, I am loving this short work week so far!  Tuesday flew by and just 2 more days til another weekend!  I enjoy my job too which helps! 

This past Labor Day included 3 BBQ back to back to back.  I now officially need to do Spin class for 10 hours!

At the BBQs, we had all sorts of goodies including:

Bacon Wrapped Beef Dogs

Fresh Fruit galore :)

Yummy Leafy Greens Salad

But perhaps my favorite part of the weekend was .....

The BEACH!!!!   Living in S Florida, one would think I would be at the beach all the time, right?!?

I get so caught up in the other things in life that I forget how relaxing and enjoyable it is to walk along the coast.

I think I am going to try to make it a priority to come here more often.  I have lived several other places in my life: MN, TX, Mexico, Orlando- and the beach hasn't always been an option. (I had other things I loved about those places though).  But now I have the opportunity to soak up the beach while I'm here. 

While there, we even had company :-)  (Thanks Kris for dog-sitting again so we can have all the joy of pretending to be dog-owners for a few hours)

Question:
What is something you love about where you live now? 

Vollyball at the Beach

I love the beach, why do I not go more often!?! There is a perfect beach park up in Juno beach with grills, tons of vollyball courts, and showers.

Finally we had a great idea! ;-) A group of friends decided to get together for a few games of vollyball and a BBQ at this perfect spot. It was a perfect day to be outside.

Besides the usual BBQ food, we enjoyed fresh corn on the cob and "really grilled" grilled cheese sandwiches! I had never grilled a grilled cheese sandwich on a charcoil grill before but it was amazing!

And then....

A few guys decided to do yoga moves on the court in-between games. It was insane!


My friend Kris was dog sitting this sweet dog! Awww, my heart melted! I can't wait to get a dog one day.

I worked up a sweat playing a few games- so I am counting it as my workout. But while we were there we saw a girl rollarblading along the coast! I am SO bringing my rollarblades next time! Old-school workout time!

Question:

What is your favorite cross-training workout?

I love doing group games like vollyball or kickball. I never get my heart-rate up as much as running or spin class, but I usually on my off-day so its okay.
