My birthday is way past (still in the same month at least!) and I wanted to (share) brag about two fantastic gifts I received.
My husband and Groovy Girl gave me a NutriBullet because I’d been pricing them myself. I’ve had a Juiceman juicer for years and years but lost interest because it was a mess to clean up and all the fiber ended up in bucket. The juice was good but not enough to keep me interested and so it was collecting dust. I recently gave it away in a flurry of cleansing. Oh it felt so good. The NutriBullet is the answer to the lost fiber and I love it. I’m trying to take off the 10 lbs I’ve added to my small frame over the last few menopausal years and juicing jump starts my morning. I’ve followed a few recipes but mainly just throw a few slices of fruit, leafy greens, nuts, Chia seeds, and a dollop of yogurt or water. Yum. It’s not always pretty but they taste great.
The second cool gift I received is a FitBit Flex from my amazing in-laws. I love them and they always get me something wonderful. I didn’t know much about FitBits before but I’m addicted now. I love logging my food, water, and workouts. I like the sleep part also but can’t get that to always work. I am freaking amazed at how many steps I take in one day plus it makes me walk more than I normally would just by sitting on my wrist. It is the extra thing that pushes me onward. Thank you Phyllis and Allen!
I did get many other amazing gift – these two are just the ones that are helping me health-wise. Oh and the sound recording of my friend Barb’s yoga guru who is both meditative and thrilling. My mom got me a colorful bag and a lovely scarf that I wear a lot and my friend Verda sent me Flair pens to start off my school year right.
I’m blessed ten times over and am personally thrilled every time I have a new birthday. As my stepfather says “it’s better than the alternative.”
