Guest Post: Health and Fitness

This was supposed to post while I was away!

Hey everyone! I’m Christina from Prep International!

So, only a few more months till summer;  I can’t wait, as I’ve been working on my health and fitness to get me ready for the warm sunshine days (Hopefully, with the weather here in Canada, who knows?)

Here are a few of the steps I’ve taken.

Running in the evenings during the school days; and morning on the weekends.  It is important to balance out school work and days that you’re free on Saturday. Meaning, on school days, I finish the day’s work, then only after I’m done do I get to go on my run/walk. And on the weekends, I have the rest of the mornings, afternoon, and evening to finish assignments and projects; so I run/walk for about 30 minutes and enjoy nature and fresh air!

Making better choices.

No Wendys or any fast food at all. I recommend treating yourself only at the end of the month. It’s up to you.  

Drinking more water. 

Doing little exercises everyday , even if it’s just participating in sports or riding your bike to the store. 

Try your best and remember : 

Have fun!

Thanks so much Christina! Go check out her blog y'all! xoxo

Thoughts For The Week

This one has been weighing pretty heavily on my heart the past few weeks.  I've never thought about courage in this way, and I've been keeping that floating around in my head since then.

Thoughts For The Week

This week's thoughts remind me of a Tecumseh quote, "Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life." I agree. My life has already been beautified by all the sights I've seen in my short seventeen years.

Oh, How Pinteresting!

Recently, I've been obsessing over Greek Key prints!

Happy Wednesday!

Art

While I was in Paris, I attained a newfound love for abstract art, and a greater appreciation for paintings and sculptures as well.

 Just a few of my personal faves from Centre Pompidou...

This has led me to explore more modern art at home. 

Mark Rothko is one of my new favorites.

Kerri Rosenthal is another favorite of mine.

Do you like modern art?

India

Today, I'm off to India for my Operation Smile Mission!

I still honestly can't believe that it's finally here.

If you've been with me since the beginning, you know this has been the end goal for me since eighth grade. From Colorado, to getting rejected not once, but twice, to China, to finally getting in, to Mission Training, to Mission Assignments to today, it's not been an easy or short road.

I'm so so so thankful to my parents, who have poked and prodded me, even when I didn't want to be, along this path and who saw the end result, and I couldn't have made it through this past weekend without them.

I have some guest posters while I'm gone, and until then, have a fabulous two weeks!
