How am surviving the tail end of August. aka the mantra I've been repeating all day everyday to just get by especially this weekend. My God is a God of Order. HE is never late. He is always on time. All my needs are met. Because HE says so in HIS words according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, am dealing with a lot of conflict resolutions  (or at least attempting and partially succeeding in it). I am trying to change my perspective in the hopes that it will help me to understand other points of views. My word for July and now August was Surrender .  but am also adding for the fall season Focus  and  Consistency I need to be consistent with my running plan and I need to focus and meet all the major deadlines I have in August.  I cannot afford to be distracted. What is your theme for the month of August as we transition from summer to Fall. I can't believe summer is almost over. This one went by way to fast for me. Too much happened too soon.  This year is definitely going to be one I remember for the rest of my life. p.s this is not a how to perform a headstand post. Nor is it a good depiction of one. Obviously my head stand game needs a  lot of improvement...

 Low Lunge Pose Muscles Engaged Quadriceps - Specifically the Rectus Femoris Sartorius  Glutes The iliopsoas muscles - The strongest flexors of the thigh I love this stretch because it helps me open not just the muscles of my legs but my whole body.  In a sense, it's a full body stretch. Lately, I've been stretching not just my lower body muscles but my mind.  Life has been challenging me to find room to compromise in situations that I feel very strongly about not compromising. How do you find a middle ground?  How do you find a way to work with others who's life philosophy greatly contradicts yours? Something has to be compromised.  Both parties have to come to a resolution. At first there was a lot of  push back & resistance on my end. But once I thought it through, I realized, this is a temporal situation that has a deadline.  So am going to surrender, knowing that this is not just about ...

It's that time of the year for family or solo summer vacation trips. Life on the road can quickly get unhealthy if you don't plan ahead of time to stay healthy and  fit. Or maybe like me, you just travel alot for work. Here are 5 ways I stay active on the road whether am heading to a city like New York where the hotels for sure have a gym or am roughing it out in the jungles of Maine and Vermont. 1. Planning   Call the hotel ahead of time or look on their website to confirm that they have a fitness center or pool. I always call because sometimes they might be closed for specific seasons or under construction. Some hotels with no fitness center have affiliations with a local gym where hotel guests can get a free pass to workout. 2. Preparation Always pack a workout attire and shoes. I also always bring a swimsuit because swimming is such a good and relaxing full body workout. 3. Bring Your own Equipment . It could be a workout dvd, some free wei...

Did you know that watermelon  is over + 90% water and just about 6% sugar ? So if you're like me... you don't mind drinking water but every now and then you want to spice things up, try making some simple watermelon juice. I prefer it blended as a drink because I do not like the solid texture. The simpler the better. Because for me, once you start adding more ingredients* to the recipe you're deviating from its natural taste* and nutritional value.  To keep up with what am up to on the daily, don't forget to follow me on instagram at @fitpaysangirl. Have a great weekend! Stay Hydrated!
