As August Winds Down...and FIT TIP (#141)

Took a spontaneous tripto the San Diego area.
**Carlsbad, Coronado Island, Del Mar, etc.**

Ate some yummy meals...
best calamari ever at one restaurant in Carlsbad
and best garlic bread **shhh, don't tell my new workout partner**
the next night, right around the corner.
**and those were just the appetizers!**

Went on some fun bike rides...
including one around Coronado Island
on a double bike. **I only feared for my life once ;)**

Relaxed on the beach, shopped, and
visited the Mormon Battalion Memorial in
Old Town San Diego.
So impressive...if you've never been...go!

All in all, it was such a fun escape
from **record-breaking** temperatures here in
the Valley of the Sun!

FIT TIP (#141): Think Beyond the Dumbbell
To de-jiggle your arms faster, trade tricep kickbacks (which I love, by the way) for the body-weight-only Crab Crawl.

~~Sit on ground with knees bent, feet flat, and place palms on ground by sides and slightly behind you.

~~Lift hips to form a tabletop from knees to shoulders.

~~Crawl forward 10 steps, then crawl back 10 steps.

~~Rest 20 seconds; crawl left 10 steps and right 10 steps.

Love the quote about life sending you opportunities and challenges. I may have to borrow that from you. Loving it!

So jealous! Glad you had a great time! What I'd do to get away from our record temps, as well!

I miss you! Any chance you are coming to Utah anytime soon? We should have a YW reunion...but up here since Anne and I are this way.
