Spring is finally here and summer is just around the corner. What does that mean? Outdoor Activites!!

 

There are a lot of things that you can do to keep in shape and still have fun outdoors.

So here is just a few of my favorite ideas!

1. Pool Fun
For those of us that don't like swimming laps, try mixing it up with a pool volleyball game. (believe me it's a workout, especially if you get the guys to join in)

2. Hiking

Now if you know me you know  I am not much of a hiker. I am getting better at trying to enjoy it but it is still hard. But there are trails in every town that are not hard and sometimes it's good to just get out on them to clear your mind.

3. Join a softball or kickball league
I have been wanting to do this for years. I have seen friends do it in the past and it just looks like so much fun. Not only do you get good exercise but you get a good tan too. ( just make you don't get to much of a farmer's tan)

4. Bike Riding
This year I have asked for a bike for my birthday. I have never been much of a biker rider but I want one of those vintage bikes that I can do some leisure bike riding. Nothing like my dad who does 100 mile bike rides all the time. That is what I call just plain nuts :)!

5. Skiing/ Knee boarding
I think I like going to the lake more than the beach because it isn't as crowded, you have your own little area, no salt water, and no sand. I grew up going to the lake and you would think I would be a great skier by now but nope I am horrible but at least I can knee board and tube. Those aren't as hard to get up on, obviously. Now when you do all of these all day you wake up the next morning feeling sore, so you have to know what a good workout that is.

So here you go, I would pick at least one of these things to do weekly so you won't be stuck inside  that stinky, sweaty gym while it is beautiful outside. This way you get to enjoy two things at once, getting fit and the beautiful weather.

Frozen Yogurt Bites

 

Now that the weather is warming up, it is nice to have a cold little treat to enjoy. If you know me, you know I have a bit of a sweet tooth. My mom said when I was younger I didn't care about presents for Christmas, I just cared about the candy. Now that I am older I can't just sit back and eat a huge bowl of ice cream with candy on top. So I got to thinking, what could I make that will satisfy my sweet tooth. Then it hit me.

 

Frozen Yogurt Bites

 

What you need

nonfat yogurt

zip lock bag

 

 

Start by pouring the yogurt into your zip lock bag and then cut the tip off of one side of the bag.

 

Then pour yogurt into small circles on a plate,

 

make sure they don't touch.

 

Put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until they are hard.

Then take out and put on a plate and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes,

 

Then enjoy your quick, easy, tasty summer treat without worrying about your waistline.
