Spotlight please #Repost @lblizz_fitover50 . You may have seen my post yesterday ... but I realized you couldn’t see the huge happy SMILE on my face in my current picture so here it is! Celebrating a pivotal life changing anniversary FB reminded me that 8 years ago (at 45) I made a pact with myself that after always putting my children first, it was my time to make positive lifestyle changes and steps toward health & fitness and do it for ME! I’m a happier person inside which makes me a better mom, a better wife and a better friend. Take care of yourself and do things for YOU! You deserve it!! Never let age stop you from your goals & dreams! Do something today for YOU! .

SIDE DISH LIKE A PRO ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH, SPROUTS & PECANS WHAT YOU NEED: Roasted Brussels Sprouts:... 3 cups Brussels sprouts ends trimmed, yellow leaves removed 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoon Salt to taste Roasted Butternut Squash: 1 1/2 lb butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed into 1-inch cubes (Yields about 4 cups of uncooked cubed butternut squash) 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons maple syrup teaspoon ground cinnamon Other Ingredients: 2 cups pecan halves 1 cup dried cranberries 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup optional WHAT TO DO: How to roast Brussels Sprouts: Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Trim ends of Brussels sprouts and remove yellow leaves. Then, slice all Brussels sprouts in half. In a medium bowl, combine halved Brussels sprouts, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt (to taste), and toss to combine. Place onto a foil-lined baking sheet, cut side down, and roast in the oven at 400 F for about 20-25 minutes. During the last 5-10 minutes of roasting, turn them over for even browning, the cut sides should be nicely and partially charred but not blackened (see my photos). How to roast Butternut Squash: Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease the foil-lined baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a medium bowl, combine cubed butternut squash (peeled and seeded),1 tablespoon of olive oil, maple syrup, and cinnamon, and toss to mix. Place butternut squash in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once half-way through baking, until softened. Note: You can roast both Brussels sprouts and butternut squash on 2 separate baking sheets at the same time, on the same rack in the oven that’s what I did. How to toast pecans: Toast pecans in the preheated oven at 350 F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toast the pecans for about 5 minutes (maybe a bit longer) in the preheated oven at 350 F until they get darker in color. Note: pecans burn really fast, so make sure to check the nuts after 5 minutes and frequently afterwords. #Christmas #dinner #food #dish #LiftaboveFitness #healthy #hack

Such an inspiration!! @ David Powers #repost Sometimes up at 2 am for work and sometimes going to bed as late as 11 pm. My diet/meal plan has definitely been out of balance. I have not been able to get all my meals in due to my schedule. But I am determined. I may stumble and fall every now and then but I will never give up. At least the gyms are opened back up now and that makes me more focused on my workouts and not skipping any when I get back home. I think my shirt was very fitting for today. NEVER QUIT!! No matter the circumstances.

What are you doing for your mental health and balance?? Exercise and how this helps with your mental health and balance- Research has shown that exercise can help to reduce stress, improve your self-confidence, alleviate anxiety and improve concentration. Dropping stress hormone aka cortisol levels, as well releasing endorphins in your system. Training can change your mood as well as bring balance to your mental state amongst all this happening. ...
