Perfect Weekend Getaway

After long hours of work, a little relaxation can surely bring you back to life. As you can see, I skipped several blogging days for concentrating my time on working with oDesk. I was fortunate and got hired by www.usabride.com for immediate Excel Data entry. I was simply just mapping old URL's to the new one. It was really easy and fun. Consistently I spent 12 hours and I finished it before the given due date. Indeed, I am proud for another work accomplishment was done as time goes by so fast. So last weekend I decided to treat myself by going with the family on sailing and fishing to the lake. Although, I left my mind home alone starring on my laptop but other than that physically I enjoyed our family weekend getaway and it was totally a blast especially for the kids.

Top 3 Workout Mistakes that Causes Metabolism to Slump

If you are working hard to bust some weights, the secret is a mix of steady-paced walks, fat-blasting intervals, and strength training that will melt away fat and send your metabolism soaring.

I was reading a write up this morning with the topic about on fitness tips on burning more calories. Seriously, I can't just keep it myself after I learned something new and I'm almost positive to share this information to my readers as well. I bet you, it wasn't just me who made these simple mistakes while working out and honestly I didn’t even know that I did.

Here’s an informative write up that I found on MSN FitBie section:

Mistake #1: You’re in an exercise rut

When you do the same activity day after day, week after week, your mind isn’t the only thing that gets bored—your muscles do, too. Whether you take the same daily 30-minute walk around the neighborhood loop, or do a few sets of the same old strength moves, after a while your body stops being challenged and your results plateau.

Correct it: Change things up. Go for a hike on the weekend instead of doing your usual power walk. Find new strength moves that work the same muscles. Try a new type of exercise by slipping in a workout DVD. Any little way to mix things up and challenge yourself with something new is a step in the right direction.

Memorial Day “Great Ways to Say Thanks to Our Military”

Yes, it is Memorial Day- a very special way of giving recognition to our beloved countrymen who died from the battle for freedom. They died with pride on rendering their services and life for the nation’s glory. So, this is the moment for us to thank them and their family for the bravery and for the love of the country. It is not just about partying on the backyard and having a big barbecue but for some reflections and prayers for those heroes and to pray for the safety of those countrymen who are currently serving and protecting the freedom of our country.

Here’s a piece of an article I found on Taunton Daily Gazette posted on May 31, 2011:

To most, Memorial Day represents a day off from work and a chance to enjoy life with family. But on Monday, many city residents took the time also to recognize service members who lost their lives so that all Americans can be free.

John Leason took his young son Ryan to a Memorial Day recognition ceremony at Mayflower Hill Cemetery on Monday morning, precisely to impart that message to him.

“I’m concerned especially for my son that too many people regard Memorial Day as a day that starts off summer,” Leason said. “People think of it as about sales, and putting their boats in the water and having barbecues. Too many people have become disenfranchised from the military. But we are honoring veterans who died for this country.”

After the long run of this season’s show, it was a very close competition between the two young pros in American Idol.
