I feel like her.  Wohoo!  It’s Friday!  Although it’s been pretty quiet on the home front this week.  My oldest sons and husband have been away for Spring Break and our third dog is away at “training camp”. (That’s another story for another day).  So, what with only one son, two dogs and a leopard ghecko to care for it’s been like a vacation for me this week!  
FIT TIP FRIDAY this week is a hodge podge of few favorite things I have run across this week.  I hope you find something new and inspiring!  

QUOTES:
THOMAS EDISON
“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” 
 JULIA CHILD
 “Water is the most neglected nutrient in your diet, but one of the most vital” 
 KAREN SESSIONS
 “Processed foods not only extend the shelf life, but they extend the waistline as well.” 

 FOOD:

Have you seen these Quakes?  They are the perfect guilt free snack when you want something crunchy and salty!  These are Sour Cream and Onion but the Cracked Black Pepper is also delish!  I found this bag of sweet potatoes at the grocery for $1.99!  You can steam the entire bunch IN THE bag for the family or each sweet potato is the perfect size for lunch.  They are chock full of fiber, Vitamin C and antioxidants!  Lastly, this box is full of individual  packets of Organic Flax Seeds.  Each packet is 2 Tablespoons and are perfect for adding to smoothies, topping for yogart or salads or an addition for soups.  Love these!

BODY IMAGE:

I know I am not supposed to compare myself to others, especially those in magazines.  Sometimes, though, we are just bombarded with examples of perfect women with perfect bodies and faces.  This week brought a nice reminder that we are all the same . . .

See, there are crows feet and laugh lines!

While Kim is quite voluptuous, you can see she’s not perfect

It’s quite sad that I’m admitting that I have lost some time and energy worrying about this sort of thing.  At least I know it’s sad AND a complete waste of time!  
Strong, healthy and fit, remember?  That’s the mantra!

And the best thing about this time of year?
