10 Reasons Why You Should Work Out Outside 

We all know that exercising makes us feel great, and spending time outside can clear our mind.

What happens if you combine the two?

If you’re like most people who spend the majority of their time inside, a change in your environment can help you level up your physical and mental health.

Check out our newest article about the amazing benefits of exercising outdoors for your body and mind 👇

Mon- 3.6 mile run + 46min weights + 15min yoga

Thur- 7.55 mile run + 30 min yoga.

Tennis last night was so fun!  It wasn’t much exercise (despite what MFP logs it as) but hopefully as we play more we’ll be able to volley more and get in a better work out.  Either that or I’ll start implementing a walk to the courts before and after or add in another lift set for Wednesdays.  

Unfortunately, the bugs were beyond annoying.  Back in my days of youth soccer we called them “love bugs” because they would fly around your head and follow you around no matter where you went.  Thankfully I don’t seem to have any bites from them so hopefully they don’t deter me from continuing this new Wednesday night outdoor activity.  

At one point my neighbor said, “You made it sound like you wouldn’t even be able to return the ball,” to which I replied, “I never said I was bad, just that I had extremely little experience.” :)

To continue my theme of Keto Connect dinners this week, last night was Breakfast Sausage Balls! This is my first time in ages working with fathead dough and while very un-keto of me, I found that coating my hands in flour made all the difference in getting the dough to behave.  I look forward to making these again but hopefully getting creative with different insides!  Paired with the balls was a repeat of the shrimp cucumber salad sans shrimp.  This is quickly becoming my new go to summer salad. 

Please enjoy the very wild, full and thick lawn we had going on before Kevin mowed yesterday.  Had to capture all the growth and happy flowers before it was given a crew cut.
