Let's move!
The linked timer is called 30/60/90. The first block (30) is cardio, the second (60) is toning. The third (90) is an AMRAP (as any reps as possible) of the two moves indicated. There are three different groups. You can do this! Start your music!

Spiritual Health Knowing and loving yourself is the ultimate goal. https://blogs.psychcentral.com/knotted/2020/01/toxic-childhood-10-lessons-you-must-unlearn-in-adulthood/ Mental & Emotional Health Maybe the last thing you need to know is what is going on in the world, https://www.verywellmind.com/is-watching-the-news-bad-for-mental-health-4802320? Social Health I think there is something about the anonymousness of being online makes us say/write things that would not be acceptable face-to face. Of course, you have your own opinion. So does everyone else. There is a fine line, though, between ‘discussion’ and ‘argument’. https://my.happify.com/hd/how-to-avoid-getting-tangled-in-online-arguments/?et=441c19ed-6416-491f-895b-f2841d5fd7a0 Posts from HealthyExpatParent.com/Facebook Happy Monday, friends!

On to our Monday post: I love a good animal video, as you might have noticed. This thread is all about animals and their intended photographers. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1350843546471952387.html New recipe: My boys LOVE Caesar's Salad. Here is an option for those of you wanting a vegan version ... actually, this is good for everyone, not just vegans. It went on the salad, sure, but then was finished as a dip for veggies and crackers. They gave it a rousing 5-star review. https://www.heprecipe.com/post/caesar-salad I feel like we have so many opportunities to either dwell on a detail or be grateful for it. For example, there are days when I am tired of having to cook/organize lunch for the boys and myself as we learn/work from home. Other days, I am grateful for the fact that they appreciate the food I cook, and also that I get this year of sitting together every day for multiple meals, and not just for dinner. Here, a mom who spends every day doing the same thing, finding the joy in her parenthood. Appreciate what you can about your circumstances. https://cupofjo.com/2021/03/what-is-disabled-motherhood-like/ New post: We humans are a social group, and we do our best when we are connected to others. https://www.healthyexpatparent.com/post/connectedness-a-b-c Be your best, friends
