Don’t clean it up too quickly-
Like a freshly packed snowball hitting you up-side the head, Christmas is finally here. Many blog-o-peeps would tell you that life is “grand” and “splendid” this time of year although out here in the “real” world … We struggle with stress, family and other worries that muddle our thoughts.
Seeking out solitude for a few peaceful minutes to think is a true blessing: A warm cup of tea before the little ones awaken, running your favorite trail tonight and taking a long nap while watching ‘A Christmas Story’ for the fifth time.
A few peaceful and thoughtful minutes …

Daily simple pleasures like sleeping in, reading a book in bed and getting the kids off to school in one piece are central to our “Balanced Lives“. For many, there’s nothing like watching a family of deer play joyfully in a field while out on a run, picking an apple from a farmers orchard during a long ride or holding a loved one close after a long week. These simple moments keep us stimulated, connected and grounded.
When was the last time you took a moment to yourself?
The Plan-
The Workout-
Let’s take a few moments to Warm Up (as you see fit) into a pore cleansing, flowing mass of sweat.
“I totally blasted my tri’s and chest today mate … Tore the gym up yo!” Try not to be this Guy or Gal peeps.
How do we this you may be asking, simple …
On the minute for 40 Minutes:
1 Proper HKC Style TGU (each arm)
**Google it and look ’em up! Cuddle, Press, Shoe … If you are going to muck about and devote only a marginal effort today? You might as well kick your VitaCoco bottle down the road for 40 minutes.**
Notes:
We are all family here and we wouldn’t want it any other way. Take care this weekend … ENJOY!!!
Feliz Día de Gracias
Posted: November 22, 2012 Filed under: Random Workout | Tags: blogging, diet, exercise, family, Feast, health, hope, life, love, Quit worrying already, Thanksgiving 15 Comments… Children I implore you
get out of the burning house now
three carts wait outside
to save you from a homeless life
relax in the village square
before the sky everything’s empty
no direction is better or worse
east is just as good as west
those who know the meaning of this
are free to go where they want-
For all our readers sitting at the “Children’s Table” today for dinner … Happy Thanksgiving and please be well!!!
Now Run Along

We are in such poor shape, feeding on ourselves day in and day out. So much so that we are too worn out to do anything about it. Doing nothing does not help either … Fantastic!!! We are trapped in a vicious cycle.
“I’ve lost complete interest in the simple things I once enjoyed.”
“I have little hope of making it through this day.”
Take a deep breath, Walk with us …
Clear your cluttered mind and consider your situation: Today has been a struggle, let’s continue to simply put one foot in front of the other … Building momentum and slowly regaining the energy we have been lacking to get by.

The Workout-
Man Makers of the KB Variety
Pick a nice, challenging weight and keep going for 5 complete sets. If you have to break up the set of 5? You incur a penalty of 20 Perfect Push Ups … We don’t recommend breaking up the sets!
Notes:
Balance. Nifty word isn’t it?!? Does the top of the post make sense at all? Here’s the answer you are looking for: We (you reading in the car as well) have a nasty habit of doing nothing … and then doing way too much. Fourteen words for you to think about … ENJOY!!!

In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present-
BREAKING NEWS: Welcome to the one spot on the Inter-Webz where you WILL NOT find bloviated and self-serving “Merican presidential coverage. If that is your “thing” today? We’re pretty sure someone out there is Pinning and Tweeting something about it …
Quick show of hands: Are you currently experiencing a “perception” problem in your life? A quick, simple and pain-free adjustment in our own thoughts and behavior will shed light and lend meaning to seeing yourself in a whole new way.
An item we talk quite often about is not taking care of our MINDS and BODIES with regular exercise and a healthy dose of mindfulness and meditation. When we neglect these items the cumulative effect often leads to feeling down about the way we look. Now the simple part: Getting up early to Workout, choosing a carrot, apples and a sandwich over Chick–fil-A for lunch … The simple “things” we do provide an instant boost to our self-image.
Simple stuff peeps, so simple in fact that you forgot what you just read above!
