Ahh Viernes

Yes its here! Happy Friday Friends :) Alas the weekend has arrived. Not that I’m doing anything overly exciting. OK I guess watching my boy play baseball at another tournament is pretty cool. I tell you, I am ready to take all the parents blood pressure at these games! I am certain we are more nervous than the actual kids! Last game Max was the last batter up with two outs and man (boy) on second. He had to get a hit or the game would be over and all chances of winning would be gone. When I saw #1 at bat all the moms looked at me and I freaked!  First pitch….strike. Second pitch…ball. Third pitch…strike 2. Then it came. I looked out into the field, noticed a little butterfly fluttering by & I smiled.  There it was….A HIT! Run Max, RUN! Is all I screamed! Crazy huh?!? NO, its called Mommy-hood :)

Today I am going to post an article I read because it is to good to pass. Its about all the secrets the beverage companies are not divulging. It is estimated that 21% of our daily caloric intake are liquid calories, about 400 cal a day at least!  This number is twice as much as it was 30 years ago. If anything has changed throughout time is the ability of genius marketing. Did we not see that last night/yesterday waiting for the “Great Lebron” to announce his decision of where to play this fall? Un-real but yet so real indeed.  Yes marketing makes the world go round, but its up to us to stay alert and not blinded.  Enjoy the article…sure was eye-opening to me :)      http://eatthis.menshealth.com/content/12-secrets-beverage-industry-doesnt-want-you-know?article=1&page=1

Have a Great Weekend! Feliz Fin de Semana! Health & Wellness allow yourself to catch the fever! :)

Besos y Abrazos…xoxo  “…Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Alante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!”

P.S. Wouldn’t one bring more value to yourself when you achieve greatness by joining a team that is in the process of building, instead of having it handed to you on a Wade/Bosh silver platter? I’m just saying :) Precisely why I stepped away from the game when MJ left the Bulls. One of the few who achieved greatness with a team he helped build. :) xoxo..
