Week 5 Day 6 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 6 = Cardio + Combination Plank + Building Sand Castles + Playing in the Water and on the Beach

I started my day off by needing to go pee for nearly an hour or so, but I couldn't get myself up to get out of the tent and go to the bathroom. I wanted to sleep, but didn't. Silly me. I know...too much information. After I FINALLY got up and made the trip to the bathroom, I brushed my teeth and went out for my run. Cardio was C25K. I walked the Warm Up, Jogged the whole time, then walked the Cool Down. So I could do a 5K run. Next stop 10K training. I will finish my crazy C25K training but also work on the 10K Trainer. I might try and do a 10k in the fall. Any suggestions from my friends from the Kitchener/Waterloo area would be greatly appreciated.
Once I got back from my run, I ate breakfast and then I did my Combination Plank for a little Core Work. 7 minutes.

We then spent most of the day at the beach. Had loads of fun in the beautiful sun.

Unfortunately I cannot upload any pictures from my phone onto my blog. I will post some pictures on Monday's blog. Because I know that you will all want to see the CLEANED UP S'mores again. The recipes for these can be found on May 23rd's blog post.

Today's food...
Breakfast: Camper's Omelet
This was made up of 5 egg whites, orange pepper, diced and chopped green onions. I prepared this at home before we left yesterday. I prepped enough for 2 omelets. My third breakfast I will have my Multi-Grain Pancakes with Raspberries & Honey. I had one serving left in the freezer so I thought I would bring it along. You know how much I love these pancakes.

I also had some raspberries today too. OF COURSE!

Lunch: Turkey on a Bun
Lunch at the beach. We made up some turkey sandwiches on whole wheat buns. Served along with some green grapes. It was so HOT at the beach, I downed a bottle of Blue Gatorade.

Dinner: Chicken and Vegetable Kabobs/Green Grapes and Homemade Potato Chips
Yummy!

Campfire Snack: Cleaned Up S'More
Enough said.

Rest Day tomorrow. Which will be very similar to today.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night.

Week 5 Day 5 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 5 = A Switch Up

Since my holidays were starting today after the last daycare child went home, I decided this morning that I needed to switch some of my workouts to fit them into my LIFE better.

SO...instead of doing Cardio and  Balance & Agility today.  I decided I will do the Cardio tomorrow(C25K +) and tomorrow's workout, The Fight Conditioning and Abdominal Strength & Core Workouts TODAY.  I want to stay on track over my holidays too...SO...I may switch things up a bit next week too, and then get back onto Week 6 when I return from holidays(I'll see what happens).

Okay so we are ready to leave for camping and I must finish this blog up quick.  I will not be able to post pictures while we are camping, but I will try to keep up with my blog as best I can.  Even if it's to check in on all of you to make sure you are still working hard to reach your goals.

This is some of the stuff we are taking with us...

Oh...wait a minute...we're not taking them unfortunately.

Dark Chocolate Walnut Brownies

 

Raspberries & Green Grapes

Homemade Potato Chips

CLEANED UP S'mores

Have a wonderful weekend.  I will be doing cardio in the morning.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Have a great night!

Week 5 Day 4 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 4 = CRAZINESS

                                                

Since I switched training schedules, today is the first day of craziness.  I had to do the Explosive Power Training PLUS The Full Body Strength & Conditioning Workout. 

On the schedule, it is for an AM & PM workout, but I like to get it all out of the way in the AM.  With that said, I started with the Warm Up then I did the Explosive Power Training, then moved onto the Full Body Strength & Conditioning Workout, followed by the Cool Down.  This helped to cut down the workout time a bit.  I did get up 2 minutes before my alarm this morning, but I still ran over by a minute or two.  So it was a bit of a rush to get ready and get my son up and ready for the second last day of school before summer holidays.

The Explosive Power Training was not as bad as I thought it would be.  I thought I would be jumping, jumping, jumping for the full 5 Rounds.  Not the case.  It's slower so that you jump higher and harder. Don't get me wrong, your heart is pumping and you will be sweating and feeling it EVERYWHERE!!!  After the EPT, it was Full Body Strength & Conditioning time.  I have spoke of this one before and boy, OH BOY...the first Round is always a killer...BUT doable.  Think of it this way...get the hard Round out of the way, everything will seem a wee bit easier after that. 

And here is something that might not make it easier...BUT...it may just make life more enjoyable...
                        
                                                             HELLO BOYS!

I know...nobody is going to be interested in what I ate today after viewing that picture.  But here it is anyway.

Today's food...
Breakfast: Steel Cut Oats with Raspberries

Snack: Honey
A spoonful of honey doesn't just make the medicine go down better...it also satisfies a sweet tooth.  To tell you the truth, the honey for my steel cut oats ended up all over the microwave plate.  When I was heating it up, I put it on for too long and it went all over the place inside the microwave.  I decided to have a spoonful to make up for it.

Lunch: Salmon Burger Patty with Sweet Corn and Whole Wheat Pasta with Canteloupe Salsa

Snack: Baked Garlic Pita Chips

Dinner: Raspberries/Green Grapes/Poppers and Roasted Red Pepper Dip
So since we have lots of things to do to get ready for our holiday, I felt like snacking on stuff, rather than preparing a meal. So no pictures of this one.  I have to remember to take my CLEAN marshmallows, graham crackers and dark chocolate to make up a CLEAN S'more at the campsite tomorrow night.

I do however...

...have a picture of ME in the Halter Dress that I mentioned in yesterday's post(of last year's post, Bringing Sexy Back)...

"I'm Bringing Sexy Back"

I will leave you with these images...

Talk to you again tomorrow.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

Week 5 Day 3 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 3 = Cardio + Stretch for Flexibility

Well, I got up 4 minutes before my alarm went off this morning. I was able to get in a 45 minute spin, followed by RushFit's Stretch for Flexibility. I only did the workout part of this one since I was warmed up from the spin, and already cooled down and stretched out from the workout itself.

Today was a bit boring food wise(stuff that you have seen and heard about before)so I don't have any pictures today.  I did however make up some Dark Chocolate Brownies with Walnuts.  The recipe is from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Cookbook.  I will show a picture of these tomorrow.

Since I have no pictures here is an old post from my MyFitnessPal blog a year ago TODAY!

"Bringing Sexy Back

So before I was pregnant with the first of my two children, I was in okay shape.  I was teaching spin classes at the time as well as taking part in some other fitness classes at the gym.  I remember buying this halter top dress from Le Chateau, and admiring how my back looked in it, it looked GOOD.  Well, that dress has been hanging in my closet for 7 years now.  It's about time to BRING SEXY BACK.  I may not be ready this week for that dress, BUT I will be wearing it this summer, for sure.  I have another week of holidays coming up in August, so I will make that my goal to get that halter out of the closet.
Since starting with MFP, which it has been 1 month today, I have lost 12 lbs, plus approximately 14 inches off my body all over.  All thanks to eating better, spinning, yoga, the 30 Day Shred(completed Day 6 level so far), Yoga Meltdown and other various workouts, plus the support from my MFP friends.  Also, I have been drinking lots and lots and lots of WATER.
I can see my body changing through my journey to a healthier version of ME.  Change is GREAT!  I am feeling better and in result, I am starting to look better too.  I am focused on my end goal.  I WILL bring sexy BACK.  I will post pictures once I hit the halter dress.
 Stay focused and YOU too will reach your goal."

So that was last year.  I did not fit into that halter dress by my week off in August.  But I am happy to report that I will be wearing it this year.  In fact, I have already worn it once in the spring.  I was planning to take a picture tonight but I had my hair cut and coloured, and that took some time.

It is getting late and I have a BIG workout in the morning so I will say my farewell and talk to you tomorrow.

Until then...Stay Strong!



Good night

P.S. Do you get the message???

Week 5 Day 2 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 2 = Abdominal & Core Conditioning

Why is it so hard for me to roll out of bed in the morning lately???  I know why...it's because the nights have been cooler and it's freezing in our bedroom by morning and I just want to stay snuggled under the covers.  I hit the snooze button 3 times this morning, 3 TIMES, then I got my workout clothes on, I was good to go, then I KILLED my Abs & Core in this workout.
 
Tomorrow thru Friday, I can't sleep in though, I have double workouts each day.  Well tomorrow and Friday are Cardio + a workout, but since my cardio must be at least 40 minutes now, I need to allow for that extra time.  Thursday is going to be a killer...2 RushFit Workouts...Explosive Power Training(which I have not done yet) + Full Body Strength & Conditioning...YIKES!!!!

So I was looking through my copy of the July issue of Oxygen, and I came across this morning's breakfast, well sort of.  I changed it up a bit because I didn't have all the ingredients.  I will comeback to this issue in "Today's food...". 
I also noticed all the ads for muscle building, fat burning, etc...products.  Now I know this magazine is geared towards women in body building and/or competitions and those products my help them get the look they want for their purpose...BUT I want to look like that for LIFE but without all the pills and shakes and whatever else they are trying to sell. I don't want to bulk up like some of the ladies in some of the ads, but rather toned and fit looking is what I am striving for.  I am trying to do it as CLEAN as I can.  CLEAN  foods and exercise is all I want.  I don't want to rely on products that may cause side effects.  The only side effects I want, are my Transverse Abdominals screaming at me because I have worked them SO damn hard.  I'm not an expert on all these products out there, but I know I have wasted money in the past and I will not do it again.  I'm sure some of them may help, but without the HARD WORK AND CLEAN FOODS you are not going to meet and conquer your goals.  Stay Strong!

Today's food...
Breakfast: French Toast Cups

Yummy!

Okay...so these were supposed to be made with cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, but since I had neither, I used non-fat Greek yogurt instead with some raspberries, of course.  I drizzled a little bit of pure maple syrup over them as well.  They were great!  Check out the July issue of Oxygen magazine for this recipe.  Next time I will have the right ingredients in the house.

Snack:  Watermelon

Always refreshing!

Lunch: Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup with Salmon Fillet

This seems to be a reoccurring lunch time meal for me.  It's because it's ready and easy to whip up.

And oh so good!

Sanck:  Chocolate Covered Carrot Cake Balls

As you can see by the bag in the picture...I made these way back in March...

...they are just as good now as they were then.  So make sure you make use of the freezer in your home.  Whether it be for meals or snacks or prep...USE YOUR FREEZER...it will save you time on busy days.

Dinner: Wendy's Baja Salad (Half Order No Dressing No Tortilla Chips)

We were out doing some running around again tonight for our holiday prep for next week.  My husband said that is already in holiday mode, so he decided to stop in at Wendy's tonight.  It's a good thing they have salads.  I have no picture though....but if you have been following along you have seen this salad before.  My kids eat the tortilla chips and I leave the dressing at the counter.

Well I must get to bed now as 5:30am comes pretty quick these days.  I MUST get up right away tomorrow to fit in my workouts...I MUST!

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

My Little Devils in Disguise

LOVE THEM!

Week 5 Day 1 of RushFit

Week 5 Day 1 = Strength & Endurance

Today I switched from the Beginners Training Schedule to the Advanced. 

BUT...I also CHOSE to stay in bed until 7:00AM. So what does that mean???

I did not get my workout done this morning.  I DID HOWEVER get it done this afternoon.  During nap time for the daycare kids, I was able to squeeze in my workout with a quick shower to follow.  I AM committed to my journey and I will Stay Strong each and every day.  Yes...I may rearrange my plans, but that's what makes life interesting.  It also provides some challenges too.  Since I didn't do my workout first thing this morning, it was a challenge put before me to get it done some time before the evening hours.  I took up the challenge and met it sooner rather than later.

Since I switched to the Advanced Training Schedule, today's workout was the same as what I did on Saturday, but that is OKAY, because the week gets tougher as it goes on.  In the Advanced Training, Cardio goes from 30 minutes, to at least 40 minutes each time.  I may have to get up a little bit earlier or do AM & PM workouts.  I will see how I feel.  I probably should have started with the Advanced Schedule right from the beginning.  Oh well, the next time I go through this workout, which will probably be again in the fall, I will do be on the Advanced Training Schedule from the start.

Today's food...
Breakfast: Holy Crap with Vanilla Greek Yogurt


Lunch: Salmon Burger on Body Wise Multi grain Bread/Baguette Bites

Snack: Sweet Potato Ice Cream/Special K Fruit Crisp Blueberry

                                     

Dinner: Roast Beef Dinner with Garlic Mash Potatoes, Gravy and Baby Carrots

This was so good.

It was a small piece of beef that I fixed up and threw in the oven before going out to pick up a few groceries tonight.  While I was out, I picked up the potatoes at the store and in no time at all dinner was ready when I got back home.  I ate a bit later than normal, but I find that's what happens in the summer.

I had a few people ask me about the Spiced Broiled Grapefruit that I had for breakfast yesterday. 

                                 I got the recipe from Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Cookbook, shown above.

I have made a few recipes out of this book already, and they have all been very good.  I may look through it tonight to plan out some snacks for our holidays coming up, starting this Friday after the last daycare child goes home.

When I was out grocery shopping(did I mention I was by myself???...ah so nice to do grocery without the kids causing trouble), I picked up the July issue of Oxygen magazine.  I am going to relax now and look through it for some more recipe ideas and workout ideas.

Tomorrow I work my Abs & Core again, I may even throw some more cardio in the mix.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

Week 4 Day 7 of RushFit

Week 4 Day 7 = Rest Day

I started today off with Breakfast...

Today's food...
Breakfast: Spiced Broiled Grapefruit

After breakfast my husband, the kids and I went out for a walk in the woods...

It was nice to get out before the rain came down. 

This was the same path I ran yesterday...very hilly, the kids were tired after about 30 minutes out of the 48 we were out.

Lunch: Hmmmm...Shame on me...I didn't really have lunch today.

After our walk my husband got ready to go to the pub to watch England vs Italy...so sad England lost.  I dropped him off at the pub and the kids and I went to my parents house for a visit.  While the kids played, I ended up having a nap...THAT'S RIGHT!  You heard me...A NAP!!! That is something I rarely do, but I guess I needed to rest.  And after all it was my Rest Day.

Snack:  Green Grapes/Stix/Dark Chocolate Goji Berries

I guess I took the whole Rest Day thing too seriously, because I don't have any more pictures of my day.

Dinner:  Pasta with Meat Sauce

My Mum made dinner for us...yummy!  This is not something that I make at home because my husband does not care for pasta really.  That's okay though because pasta can be one of those foods people can eat way too much of.

After Dinner Snacks: Sweet Cherries/Raspberries/Wasabi Peas

The Wasabi peas I had our friend's home when I went to pick up my saddened husband after the game.  The fruit I ate just now.  I know it was a little late in the evening but I haven't really eaten enough calories for my day. 

It's late now and I am ready for my bed.  Tomorrow I am starting with Week 5 of RushFit and as I mentioned in an earlier post, I am switching to the Advance Training Schedule tomorrow.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

Week 4 Day 6 of RushFit

Week 4 Day 6 = Strength & Endurance +

The + is for the Cardio I added this morning.  I woke up, got dressed, pulled my hair back and laced up my running shoes and hit the pavement and then the path.  I did another day of my crazy C25K schedule.  It felt great to be out running.  I think I am more of a trail runner ,than a road runner.  I love being out with the trees and the wildlife that I see.  After my 5K, I was a ways from home so I decided to try another app that I downloaded to my iPhone last night, 10K Trainer.  The first workout in this app was basically training for a 5K...but that was okay.  I figure I ran about 8K this morning on and off.  It was a beautiful morning to be outside.  

After I got back to my home, I took the kids across the street to check out my friend's garage sale.  I still needed to get my RushFit workout in.  After chatting with my friend I went back home and helped my son clean up his bedroom before, and in order for him to go to his friend's house for a play date this afternoon.  It was such a mess, I thought we would never get it cleaned.  Not really.  I knew it wouldn't take too long.  SO...I was able to get my Strength & Endurance workout in before we had to leave.  It was a day fun for all.  Okay,so...maybe not fun for all, but my husband chose to stay home.  While at home he washed up the dishes and did some laundry.  Great job honey!    I dropped my son off at his friend's home and then I took my daughter to the movies and then did a bit of shopping with her.  It was so nice to spend some time with her.  My son had a great time with his friend, my daughter and I enjoyed our day out and my husband said he enjoyed his day too.  I know he will enjoy his day tomorrow, he's going to the pub to watch England play Italy in the European Championships.  

My food wasn't the greatest today, but it wasn't atrocious.

Today's food...
Breakfast: Pumpkin Granola

Have I told you that I love Pumpkin things?  When I saw these in the store the other week, I checked out the Ingredients and thought I would give them a try.  Here is what's in them...taken from the Nature's Path website...
"Made with love and ...Lunch: Pepperoni Pizza
I shouldn't have eaten this, but I was in a hurry(running out the door to get my son to his friend's home).

Snack: Small Popcorn/Red Grapes/Snap Peas/Sweet Cherries
The popcorn was at the movies.  The Snap Peas and Sweet Cherries were after my daugter and I went to the fresh fruit market on our day out.

Dinner: Chicken Souvlaki Wrap with a Greek Salad  
We got home late(8:30pm) and my husband wanted to grab some food.

I only ate the salad and the stuffing of the wrap.  I wish they would use whole wheat wraps instead of white.  This is why I like to eat at home more and more.

Even though tomorrow is to be my Rest Day, I may go out for another round of C25K in the morning.  I will see how I feel and I will go from there.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

Week 4 Day 5 of RushFit

Week 4 Day 5 = Cardio + Balance & Agility

Well the temperature drop last night, so it was much nicer for sleeping...AND both of my kids stayed in their owns beds.  It's really a no win situation though...when it's HOT and have a crap sleep, I don't want to get up...when it's cool and have a good sleep, I don't want to get up because I want to sleep more in the more comfortable sleeping temperature.  BUT...I do WIN, because I get up regardless and do my workout.  It's just that initial feeling of crapiness/sleepiness that I feel, once I get past that, I good to go.  Yes I am a morning person so this feeling does not last long.

And getting up extra early in the morning to get your workout done MAY NOT come easy...

...but DO IT, because that's who YOU WANT TO BE.

Today's cardio...no surprise...spinning, followed by RushFit's Balance & Agility.  I again skipped the RF Warm Up as I did a 34 minute spin(a HOT spin), yes our attic is still quite hot.  My body was still is soreness mode this morning when I woke up and remains that way now...it feels great!  When I walk up the stairs I can feel every squat and lunge that I have done during RushFit's Full Body Strength Conditioning, and to get right into the Balance & Agility today, WOW, I will be feeling even greater tomorrow.  These workouts definitely make ME feel strong, and if you are doing them too, you should be feeling the same way.  I know I was feeling the "blobbiness" effect the other day, but that has gone now.  Yes, as a woman, I must endure that each month.  It just seemed to be worse this time around.  I think it may have had a lot to do with the chocolate cake experiment.  That is in the past now and I am feeling strong again.
I have one more workout to do this week, followed by my Rest Day on Sunday and then I am switching to the Advanced Training Schedule for RushFit.  I'm pushing the UP button...well at least for a week, then I am on holidays, I will resume the ATS after holidays and continue on with Week 6.  While on holidays I am going to get back to my crazy schedule of my C25K.  If you have been following, you will know how crazy it has been.  I may get it done by the end of the year...LOL...last time I was out, I did run the full 5K.  Maybe I should look into the next program to 10K.  I think there is one Bridge to 10K.  Input would be great to hear on this...thanks.

RushFit's Balance & Agility is SO good.  The last 10 minutes or so are TOUGH!  This is the part where you do the Gorilla Squats, Mule Kicks, Alligators, Forearm Pull<<not sure the name of these two moves>>and Crossover Push Ups.  Once you go through it once...do it AGAIN.  By the end of this workout, I was ready for my day.


Today's food...
Breakfast: Fruit Crepes with Chocolate Sauce
Good things come in 3's...

 

I ate the third serving of the Fruit Crepes today.  Still very delicious.  The fruit was getting a bit on the mushy side.  I wouldn't recommend you keep them too long in the fridge.  The fourth serving is in the freezer to see how well they freeze.  I will let you know next week how it tastes.

Lunch: Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Wrap with Sweet Corn
I finished off the tortillas today so unless I buy more, there will be no more wraps for a while.  Since these are so easy to make up, I will probably pick up some more this weekend.  Only this time I will double check the calories per serving.

Snack: Sweet Potato Ice Cream

This is the treat that I mentioned in yesterday's post.  The recipe is from the Clean Eating magazine.

This was so much better than I thought it would be.  It tasted like Pumpkin Pie.

Sweet Potato Ice Cream

INGREDIENTS

1 large sweet potato, peeled and sliced into ½-inch-thick pieces
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 cups low-fat, unsweetened oat milk(I used Almond Milk instead)
1/2 cup raw honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

INSTRUCTIONS

ONE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Place potato in a 10 1/2 x 7-inch baking dish. Pour maple syrup over top and toss until well coated. Spread in a single layer and bake until very tender, without turning, for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
TWO: Remove from oven and immediately transfer to refrigerator. Refrigerate overnight to further soften potato.
THREE: In the bowl of a food processor, purée potato until creamy, about 4 minutes. With a rubber spatula, scrape bowl to prevent syrup from settling on the bottom. Add milk and blend, then add honey, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice and process until mixture turns from dark orange to light orange in color and becomes creamy, about 4 minutes.
FOUR: Pour mixture into a 9 x 9-inch metal cake pan and freeze for 12 hours, until solid. To serve, remove from freezer and let rest for about 5 minutes, until scoop-able.

Leftovers from last night.

Even this picture is from last night.  I forgot to take a picture of tonight's dinner plate.  It looked pretty much the same, only there were no sweet potatoes left for tonight.

It was a delicious day overall. 

Eating CLEAN, is eating RIGHT.

Back to Strength & Endurance tomorrow.  I may even throw in some Cardio.

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night

Week 4 Day 4 of RushFit

Week 4 Day 4 = Full Body Strength & Conditioning

Woo! Shower?  Yes...please!  Another sweaty mess of a workout.  This definitely helped with the "blobbiness".  The temperature this morning when I was working out was around 20 degrees C already, so early in the morning.  LOVE IT!   I can feel this morning's workout right now...it's 10:21pm and I am feeling it in my back, shoulders, legs...really everywhere.  Wait till the morning...I'll be lucky if I can get out of bed.
The dumbbells I used for this one were 10's and 8's.  The 10 lb dumbbells are the heaviest I have right now.  For some moves I could probably use more, but for others 10 or lower are just fine.  Even when I am feeling sore, I feel great!

I am feeling a little lost though.  I had to take my HRM back into the store where I purchased it from.  After they replaced the chest strap with a new one, a few months back...I was having some troubles finding my heart rate.  Some days I would put it on and my heart rate would show up as 174...that's me just sitting down...CRAZY!  Other times I would be into a full blown workout and it showed my heart rate as 76...CRAZY!!  And then sometimes, I would have no heart rate show up at all...CRAZY!!!  So to eliminate my frustration, I decided to take it back in to see what the problem is.  Hopefully I will get it back soon.  Next week I will be doing the RushFit Explosive Training Workout, it's the only one I do not have a calorie burn for yet.  So I may have to guess on that day.
So my calorie burn counts this week are taken from the previous days that I did certain workouts.  Some days I enter them in a little lower if I find that I haven't worked as hard.  And with the heat, some I have entered a bit higher.
I highly suggest getting yourself a good Heart Rate Monitor to help you achieve your fitness and healthy lifestyle goals.  Make sure you get one that gives you a calorie burn count, that way you will know just how many calories have gone out.  And be sure that more calories go OUT, then come IN.

1 pound = 3500 calories.  So think about that when you are craving something off your new CLEAN eating way of life.  Don't eat CRAP!  Eat right and you will reach your goals.  You can do it, you know you can!

Today's food...
Breakfast: Fruit Crepe with Chocolate Sauce

A second day of yumminess!

Snack: Green Grapes & Strawberries

Our snack at the park was some nice fresh fruit.

Lunch: Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup with Stix

 Dinner: Grilled Chicken served with Roasted Brussels Sprouts & Sweet Potato and Spinach Fettuccine

I'm hot, I'm tired and I'm ready for my bed.  I will be back tomorrow to show you the treat that I made up today.  It will be ready by then.  It's a frozen treat.  Exactly what is needed this summer. 

Until then...Stay Strong!

Good night
