Health and wellness time at the Bridge

We ladies have said we are going to stick to getting exercise.  We have already started to drink more water everyday and we walk as often as we can for exercise. 

We have started eating healthy, with salad, fruit, we juice, and try different ingredients which is always interesting. 

What is so great is that one of the ladies and her husband are in the process of quitting smoking and they are doing well.  One thing to take the edge off is they started to walk again.  They walk about 2 miles per day, they have inspired me to do the same and will be increasing the distance each time we all walk. 

Some of the ladies and I lift light  weights about 5 Lbs. We are all senior citizens. We all keep regularly scheduled doctor appointments.   We also try different products to make new recipes.  You'd be surprised how many things you can sprinkle minced garlic onto.  Maybe I'll take pictures and share them with you the next time I'm feeling creative in the kitchen.

Here is a good salad to try:  

Spinach Salad
  1. 5 cups torn spinach leaves
  2. 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  3. 1/2  cup thin red onion wedges
  4. 2  hard-cooked eggs, cut into wedges
  5. 1/2  cup light Catalina reduced fat Dressing
  Toss all ingredients except dressing in large bowl, add dressing, mix lightly & serve immediately.
  Enjoy!


Many Blessings,

Ladies of the Bridge

Hi everyone, 

Well since last I blogged I have had a very blessed time. I have been volunteering at the Bridge Resale store. We are women who help people who are in need. 

First when any one comes in for help they must bring proof that they are in need, this process is in place to weed out anyone who would take advantage. There are so many people in need and we have a heart to help them. I believe in the process. 

We have several great departments: food, education/GED help, optic care, people would like to learn a trade, learning food preparation, and cooking. We have programs to help children with school lessons, we have church services, bible study, sewing classes, and much more.

The lady's that volunteer at the Bridge Resale store, are in the process of learning to staying on track to healthy living and we are all enjoying the process. 

We have a great crew. 

We thank God for allowing us to be able to help where we can.

Blessings to all and have a blessed New Year!
