Woke up this morning singing MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This".

MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This

I'm not sure why that song was in my head, but it made for an amusing 4-minute dance party this morning to get the muscles moving! It's such a great way to start the day!

Then, I went for my 3 mile hike around my little mountain town, down to the playground to attempt some pull ups (I'm almost there!) and then back home. Right now, I'm taking a breather from the heat for a few minutes and then it's time for my P90X Cardio workout. Oh, and FYI: for those of you who think P90X might be too advanced or rigorous for you, they're in the process of releasing a new version called P90 which is suitable for ALL fitness levels, even if you've never been one to exercise. Looks like they'll be releasing it this fall. Just thought I'd mention it for those who might be interested.

Also found out today that I've been eating recalled nectarines and plums for the last 3 days! Fortunately, I feel just "peachy" (sorry for the pun) and my experience as a microbiology university lab instructor has trained me well in food decontamination protocols. It pays to be a super science nerd sometimes, after all!

Speaking of washing produce, I have my weekly CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) delivery of farm fresh, organic veggies arriving again this afternoon! I LOVE my CSA! This week, it's a delivery of garlic scapes, string beans, sugar snap peas, spring onions, salad greens, leeks, curly kale, cucumbers and a monstrous pile of zucchini! I'm reaching the threshold on my zucchini storage right now. I have to figure out what to do with them pronto! There's only so many nights a week I can make zucchini "noodles" with my spiralizer!

I am also determined to find time today to get through another chapter of my personal trainer manual for my CPT exam. I guess it all comes down to time management and priorities, just like most things in life. Speaking of time management, I better stop typing and get back to sweating! It's workout time again, Folks!

Have a fantastic day!
