It's Monday. Really.

It's MONDAY! 

 Time to add two new things to our regime this week.

1.  Grapefruit seed extract (GSE) gets added

2.  Exercise.  (Huh?)

I googled "benefits of grapefruit seed extract" and came up with this very informative web site: http://www.pureliquidgold.com/ 

From what I understand the taste is awful but it can be cut with lemon juice.  Hard to imagine lemon juice making something taste better.  

2.  Exercise.  Yeah.  Um.  Well.  Exercise.  Need I say more? Ok I will.  My plan:  get back on my rebounder & build back to 30 mins a day of rebounding.  Hula hooping is back, too.  I have a 5 pound hula hoop that is a great cardio work-out.  I'm taking it into the store & will do it thru out the day.

Vision Board 2009

Once a year I get together with my girlfriends and we do a vision board.  

We have brunch, mimosas, we never gossip!  We "update" each other.  

This year I put a twist on creating the Vision Board. My niece Sara had blogged about coming up with a theme word for 2009.  A word to focus on while growing thru the year.  

My original word was Accomplish.  I believe strongly in everyone needs a sense of accomplishment. 

But this morning as I was looking at my board I see I used the word boost. 

According to Google's definitions of "boost on the web":

• hike: increase; "The landlord hiked up the rents"
• give a boost to; be beneficial to; "The tax cut will boost the economy"
• promote: contribute to the progress or growth of; "I am promoting the use of computers in the classroom"
• the act of giving hope or support to someone
• increase or raise; "boost the voltage in an electrical circuit"
• rise: an increase in cost; "they asked for a 10% rise in rates"
• push or shove upward, as if from below or behind; "The singer had to be boosted onto the stage by a special contraption"
• the act of giving a push; "he gave her a boost over the fence" 

So I think I'll be using both words this year as my theme.  Accomplish and Boost.
