Good morning and welcome to Monday. I have a new found love for this day, now that Biggest Loser has changed nights! If you are a fan, too, don’t forget to set your dvr for this show at 8pm eastern time….Due to the amount of spam this site receives, daily, you may notice that when you post a comment it might not post immediately as I think that I have set something so that I have to monitor and approve comments before they post. This is to protect YOU, the reader. I want to maintain a site that is safe for you to click links and ads on. All the ads you see on peaceandfitness.com are brought to you by our friends at Google and you should feel free to click away. If you post a comment, give it a day or so and it will appear….The annual SilverSneakers luncheon is now 2 weeks away. Ellen and I have collected money from close to 100 people but there is still time to get in on this, just bring one of us 10.00 cash. My students please place your money in an envelope and PRINT your name (and the names of anyone you are bringing with you) or place a return address mailing label on the envelope–names must be legible as we will take attendance the day of the event, which is the 31st of this month…On the football front, I am so sad to see the Texans go home–I had them all the way but now my devotion returns to my Dophins and hope that next year is a better year…If you want to do one thing different with your eating this week, try bringing those spices out of the cabinet where you will use them! Spices have a great effect on digestion and so much more. Consider cinnamon to help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels while aiding digestion and decreasing inflammation, turmeric to help prevent dementia and also work as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, and ginger for relief of stomach problems as well as possibly relieving joint pain. Most every spice has a positive health benefit, so try them all and use them regularly…
and finally, before I head out to work, a little brain work for you (for physical fitness is so much more than just working our biceps and butts) thanks to Rita, for the trivia calendar that now sits on my desk—without cheating (aka asking Google or looking at a map) How many US states end with the letter A? Let me know what you come up with in the comment section and remember, if your answer doesn’t post automatically, it will within the next 24 hours. Keep your bodies and your brains working, and always remember to make some ahhhh time, too! Be back tomorrow to chat it up about tonight’s episode of BL. I can hardly wait!
