I am on a pull up kick this week and this pull up workout is great when you are having an urge to practice your pull ups. It is made up of 5 reps of pull ups interspersed with 20 reps of different bodyweight exercises. I can only do a few pull ups at a time now, and the recovery of doing other exercises gives just enough of a break to be able to do them again. Even so, my pull ups were steadily going downhill throughout the workout, especially after the push ups! ..and I am feeling it today, in a good way, especially in the lats. I love building those, gives a great shape to the body! ; )
This delicious colorful salad was one I ate a lot of when I first went raw. This salad keeps well for days in the refrigerator and so I would make large batches of it. It is still one of my favorites that I make often. I like it best when the ingredients are chopped quite small so they really soak up the dressing. It’s quite easy to make and I took lots of pictures to show you exactly how I make it. || Read more

This is one of my favorite roads to drive on. It’s the Coverdale Road from our place following the Fundy Bay coast to Riverside Albert, where my brother used to run his Inn. We decided to take a drive down to the Albert County Country fair and see horses, cows, rides, games and the agricultural country event. But I’m posting mainly pictures of the drive.. because I love it. It’s a sentimental thing. The road is twisty and curvy so you often don’t see what’s around the corner in front of you. Great drive for a sportscar.. as long as no one else is around. It’s only 2 lanes. So come with us on a Sunday drive! || Read more

We’re working on pull ups today. The pull up bar is out!! It’s been awhile since I have done any pull ups and so this one is a tough one for me. But I am on it! Pull ups are great for upper body strength and for developing your lats, the upper-side back muscles that give you a great shape! Also it gives you a sense of power to be able to lift yourself up, and it’s a great survival skill if you ever find yourself dangling off a building or cliff. || Read more
