Hi Friends!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Hubby and I kept pretty busy by buying new glasses and new running shoes, foam rolling for the first time, doing some antiquing, checking out a old car show and getting groceries. I also let you guys vote on hubby cutting his hair or keeping it long via instagram, twitter and Saturday’s post . Results were overwhelmingly to keep it long…which made him very happy 
——————————–
Today we’re taking a little break from food and fitness today to talk about FUN! I don’t know about you, but summer is FLYING by for me! In just a couple of weeks I’ll be starting orientation for my dietetic internship. Ahhh, I can’t believe it!!! So, right now, in between trying to get all of the work done that’s already been assigned for my internship, I’m trying to soak up every last bit of summer! Would you agree with me when I say summer is just an all-around good time?! I love it. And I’m not the only one! Right now my friends at Blue Diamond Almonds are holding a weekly sweepstakes over on their facebook page. Each week has a theme and you can submit a picture of how you “get your good going”. You get a coupon just for participating and there’s a chance to win prizes. CLICK HERE for more details.
Here’s the mantra for the “Get Your Good Going” campaign:
We came together as a co-op. A co-op for good. Because when you start something good, it only gets better. Good is in every Blue Diamond Almond we grow. In every snack can and Breeze carton we sell. From Whole Natural to Smokehouse to Wasabi and Soy. From Original to Vanilla to Chocolate. It’s a catalyst. It’s contagious. It branches out into every aspect of our lives. Good is conquering a roller coaster, hanging ten with your nine-year old, hiking half-dome with your fiancée, singing your lungs out and whacking a piñata. Good is a wonderful feeling. A magical feeling. An inspirational feeling. And once it gets going, there’s no stopping what you can do. So grab a can or carton of good and Get Your Good Going.
I LOVE the idea of GOOD extending to your everyday life, so when Blue Diamond asked me to share MY idea of what good is, and tell you guys how I get my good going, I jumped at the chance!
With a focus on ENJOYING SUMMER, here’s what GOOD means to me:
Good is…
{a backyard bonfire with friends}
{hiking to the top of a mountain}
{getting lost in a book}
Good is…
{smiling at a stranger}
{or giving something of yours to someone who needs it more}
Good is…
{relaxing with the ones you love}
{balancing healthy food with summer treats}
{growing your own food}
{and firing up the grill}
Good is…
{sending and receiving packages}
{Surrounding yourself with unconditional love}
{and spending time outside together}
Good is…
{genuine smiles}
{embracing messy hair}
{and embracing each other}
Good is…
{not taking life too seriously}
{watching the sunrise…}
{…and sunset in the same day}
Good is…
{pushing your limits}
{chasing your dreams}
{and always looking ahead to all the GOOD things yet to come!}
——————–
Staying busy and active with all of the things above is how I get my good going…and keep it going all summer long!
So tell me, how do you get YOUR good going?
What is GOOD to you?
Tell me! And then go share with Blue Diamond Almonds for a chance to win!
Enjoy!

Love this post! You’re so right that good is contagious! That pic of you and your hubby’s huge smiles just made me smile.
I’ll add that good is taking time to be silly and play with my daughter, and taking time to call and check in on old friends.

thanks so much
Looks like you guys have a great bike path. We’re lucky to have a nice system nearby as well, but never use it. It’s one of the things I’m looking forward to most as our son gets a little older.

Good is…going to bed at night knowing you did all that you could to take care of your health that day.

I LOVE this mantra!! What a good ‘pledge’ if you will, especially in the summer, when I too try to cram in as much fun as possible!! I am trying to enjoy the good in each day as much as possible. shift focus away from the weekend being over to the little things each day that I am happy about
jobo recently posted..Challenges anew.

LOVE your words girl, you always inspire the heck outta me! So my good today? Finding this blog post at precisely the right time, when I needed this little reminder to focus on the GOOD, above all else. It’s always there, even if it’s harder to ‘see’ at first. Right?

I know! Summer sure is flying by, isn’t it?! I’m trying to enjoy this last month of freedom before going back to school! I hear from my classmates that internship comes with A LOT of paperwork! But you’re super organized so I’m sure you won’t break a sweat!
My good is the feeling that I get at the end of the day when I’ve done all I could to feed, nourish, and challenge my body to the best of my abilities…taking it one day at a time..
