Easter Weekend was Fantastic! It finally hit 66+ degrees here in Washington and the sun was shining! Spring quarter started and so far my classes are good. Yesterday I went on a run with these adorable dogs then went hiking with my friend Kristi.
It was an easy hike that I’ve done many times…we went to Rattlesnake Ledge in North Bend, WA but we went because we knew it’d be a pretty view. Then today for Easter I worked and made my rent in one day which is always comforting and then spent the evening with my family having ribs, sweet potatoes, bacon wrapped asparagus and rice. There is nothing better then enjoying the sunshine, spending time with family and loved ones, as well as not having to worry about financial worries.
“The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours – it is an amazing journey – and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.”
Summer is Right Around the Corner:
-Plan exciting things to do with your friends or family like hiking, kayaking, skydiving, paddle-boarding, surfing, golfing, outdoor bootcamp classes where you can take advantage of the sun as well as get fitness involved.
-Rather then going out for drinks or dinner with your friends or family, arrange BBQ’s at home or dinner party where everyone makes a dish to bring. This will cut down a lot of extra calories that you will get eating out. *it will save money also!
-Plan at least one vacation. a healthy body starts with a healthy mind, when you create something to look forward to, it will inspire happiness and excitement to get a jump start on your goals.
Loved this! That view from the mountain is beautiful! I love fitness with friends that is outside the four walls of a gym!

Hey Tiare! Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking my post!
And I love the timing of this post. It couldn’t be any more of a perfect time. The weather is starting to turn, and it’s time for folks to get out and get motivated to change their habits! I have been gearing up for a bike trip across the country, and just rode 43 miles yesterday. Felt amazing. Can’t wait for longer rides.
Hope you are well, and I’ll follow along…
Blessings,
Dug

Hahaha…Well, go grab one sometime!
I’m going on a two month trip this summer and I’ll be averaging over 100 a day…Just keeping my weary legs churning. 
Homework in the sunshine is awesome…a perfect recipe for a nap for me though!

yes the bacon-wrapped asparagus was amazing! but i enjoy anything wrapped in bacon:) Wellllll the reason i made my rent in one day was from working my restaurant job haha. Sometimes i hate it so much but days like Easter make it worthwhile.

sounds worthwhile to me! and…I could probably eat bacon with every meal and never get sick of it. I eat eggs and bacon just about every morning…

I wish I had terrain and a view like this to go hiking in….unfortunately I just have to deal with hiking through the streets of Chicago, which possibly could have more obstacles and end up being pretty harsh.
But not much beats the Chicago skyline and walking along the lake front.

Chicago is the one place I want to visit that I haven’t yet visited here in America just to let you know! I really want to go to the Chicago art museum and the city just looks like an exciting beautiful place!!!
