Summer is just around the corner - are you ready?

This week our LivferU Newsletter focuses on will power and our struggle with control. As summer is fast approaching and we are shedding our winter clothes, our thoughts move toward sunscreen and body fat (well, my thought do).

With the great weather come the pleasures of BBQ, patio and outdoor activities. My favourite is walking with my friends and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding woodlands. I went out this morning and took my daughter's dog Tucker, an energetic Border Collie Lab cross.

He ran free up and downs the hills, through the creeks, chasing squirrels with an equally energetic Jack Russell named Jelly. There was 11 of us out enjoying the Dundas Valley while we caught up on each others lives. The walk was energizing and contributed to my goals of lower body fat.

Although I find the exercise and companionships within the beauty of nature an inspiring way to start my day, every morning it is a struggle to force myself out of bed. Having a busy life and working late, it takes a great deal of willpower to get me out there. I don't always manage it, but when I do I am thrilled and the memory keeps me coming back.
