Our next flight is taking us to Easter Island. Which is a polynesian (a group of over 1,000 islands scattered over central and southern Pacific Ocean) island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. A special territory of Chile that was annexed in 1888, Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapanui people. The name "Easter Island" was given by the island's first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sunday 1722. Its total area is 631 square miles and has a population of 5,806 people. Easter Island is a volcanic high island, consisting mainly of three extinct coalesced volcanoes Terevaka, Poike and Rano Kau. The climate of Easter Island is subtropical maritime. The lowest temperatures are recorded in July and August (18 °C or 64 °F) and the highest in February (maximum temperature 28 °C or 82 °F) . A retired teacher from my high school, Mrs. Gage sent me a post card from here while she was visiting and spoke of how beautiful it was there. So I figured I'd share with you all. Enjoy!

Fitness Tip For The Week! "2 Tall glasses of water a day!"
Many people do not realize that a relative amount of calories we take in a day comes from what we drink. Drinking a pop here, a glass of juice there, some more pop later and then waking up at 2 in the morning craving some koolaid or juice, haha. All of that stuff adds up to a good amount of calories and sugar everyday. This causes your kidneys to get overloaded and your liver has to come to their aid to help digest those calories and sugar. In turn, taking the liver away from digesting food to its maximum ability resulting in a higher storage of fat, leaving us to become Big Homies. lol My challenge for you is twice a day, when you think about buying a pop or juice you drink a tall glass of water. This will be the starting point to move towards 50/50 with water and other beverages a day, to mostly water and a small amount of other stuff. Drinking mostly water helps your kidneys to function more efficiently leaving your liver to the duty of digesting which will boost your metabolism, which can contribute to weight loss. 1 brick at a time (small step) and soon enough you will have your wall (your ultimate goal)!
