 Tricep
dips, push ups, sit ups, lunges are all great exercises
to start you off in the morning. Start off with one set

increase the amount of sets you do in the morning. Don't
forget to warm-up.

Growing challenge
 No
matter how magnificently you may arrange your life, no
matter what level of wealth, power, position or respect
you may attain, you will always have challenges for you
to face. In fact, the higher you climb, the more
daunting the challenges usually become. Fortunately,
your ability to prevail against challenge also increases
with every
accomplishment.
There will always be challenge and right along with it,
opportunity. There will always be the need for strength,
for courage, for focus and perseverance.
Those who put off facing the challenges until "someday"
find that the someday never comes. Those who wait for
the right moment for doing something about their
situation, will find things getting worse and worse.
Meet each challenge as quickly and as competently as you
can. There will be another one right behind it. And as
you work your way through them all, you'll find yourself
fully alive. Success comes not from the absence of
challenge, but from the ever-increasing ability to
benefit from it.

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:
-
In medium saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons oil with 1 teaspoon butter. Add rice, mixing until it looks shiny. Add water, turmeric and salt to taste. Bring to boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer until rice is tender, about 40-50 minutes. There will be 3 cups cooked rice. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 9 x 9-in. square pan or 2-quart round baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Spread almonds and cashews on separate baking sheets. Bake almonds for 5 minutes, remove from oven and spread on plate to cool. Bake cashews until golden, about 8 minutes. Add to plate with almonds, and set aside.
-
Heat remaining oil and butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 4 minutes. Mix in coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger and cayenne, if using. Cook, stirring until onion pieces are coated and spices fragrant, about 1 minute. Add eggplant, squash and peppers, and cook, stirring, until vegetables look moist, 2 to 3 minutes. Add edamame or beans, tomato purée and sugar, cover and simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
-
Spread half of cooked rice in a layer in baking pan. Cover rice with cooked vegetables. Mix nuts and raisins into remaining rice. Cover vegetables with rice mixture. Cover casserole with lid, or use foil.
-
Bake casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through. Let stand 15 minutes and serve hot. Casserole also may be served lukewarm or at room temperature.
