My new favorite snack!


Okay normally I don't do this, but I love Greek yogurt! My favorite are the Chobani brand. They're all natural, low in fat, and high in protein - which makes the perfect snack and a tasty fast breakfast for active and fitness conscious people like me. The way I do Chobani is I'll open one up and toss in some healthy Kashi cereal, and add frozen raspberries and blueberries in with the yogurt. Then I stir it up and scoop a spoonful into my mouth. It is nothing but good! And it's good for you! I get a bit passionate when I talk about this yogurt! I don't care if people make fun of me for being passionate about yogurt. Chobani is that good!

So many places...

I have a confession to make: I'm always planning things I want to do, and I'm always making my 'to do' list.

Holbrook Trail in Bountiful (again. beautiful fall season hike)
Devils Garden to in Arches National Park
Delicate Arch in Arches National Park (again)
Mount Olympus (again)
Ben Lomand in Ogden
Deseret Peak in Tooele
Lake Blanch Trail
Grandeur Peak (again)
Ferguson Canyon
Mt. Nebo
Mt. Aire
Kings Peak
Coyote Gulch
Buckskin Gulch and Paria Canyon
Capital Reef
Escalante and Grand Staircase
Kolob
Snow Canyon
Canyonland
Zions (again)
and many more....

If you want to do these hikes too, lets make it happen. I enjoy a beautiful hike with good company to entertain and laugh with.

Dogs are also a woman's best friend.

My family had a dog once. It was really sad the day she was put to sleep. We love her so much. She was very protective of us kids, and I think the neighbors were afraid of her because of her size.

I think dogs are the best companion a person can have. My sister got a little dog recently. She's a cute little one. And she's funny because she likes to be held like a baby, and then she'll lick you all over your face.

Have to post these commercials. The dogs in the videos are cute. It makes me want to go to the shelter and get my own dog.



I want some chocolate

I want a dessert in a heart shaped cup too. This reminds me of one of my favorite desserts, which is brownie with caramel sauce drizzle on top and add a couple fresh raspberries to it.

Working out is fun - I'd do it inside and outside.

Hiking w/Mike and his group tonight was better than hitting the stair master at the gym.

But never as hard and painful as the crunches my trainer makes me do. Thank goodness Heather is there to push me out of my comfort zone.

Well except for Mt Olympus - that was hard and my legs felt it for days afterward.
