Nordic Walking Poles

Have you ever heard of Nordic Walking Poles?  These are so cool and look like they could really give you a good workout.  When I first saw them, I thought they were for snow but I was totally wrong.  Check them out!

Pros and Cons of the Treadmill

I am not a treadmill user because of knee issues and I always want to run when I get on one.  This is a great blog entry about the pros and cons of the treadmill.  One day I’ll be able to use it to it’s full potential but for now the elliptical is my best friend.  If you had to choose, would you pick the treadmill or elliptical?

And lastly, something really pulled at my heartstrings this past week.  Are you familiar with Stephanie and Christian Nielson?  I have been following their story on her blog, NieNie Dialogues since last year when the most horrific thing happened to them.  They were on Oprah this week sharing their story and it was just so emotional. What an amazing story!

I am so thankful for the life I have and don’t want to ever take anything for granted.  I’m most thankful for my loving hubby, family and friends.

Make it a point to stop and think about what you are most thankful for today!

Have a great weekend,

P.S.  My friend Shelly from the Shakin & Bakin Recipe blog has a contest going on to win Tupperware.  Be sure to head on over for a visit to see what she has to offer.  While you’re there be sure to check out this awesome fashion lunch set.  $10 from the sale of each set is donated to children in need via the Tupperware Brands Foundation.
