I Resolve To® . . . Slice Open A Big, Juicy Watermelon & Enjoy! - Day 193

The dog days of summer are such a joy thanks to the warm temperatures, sunshine, and all the wonderful activities that tag along like gardening, swimming, biking, picnicking, barbecuing, and 'YES' eating!  I spend most of the winter pining for Spring and Summer.  I work hard to make the most of the dark, dreary, cold days in January, February and March by completing a host of indoor personal and creative projects, so that I can clear the decks and spend as much time as possible 'outdoors' during June, July and August weekends.  I love jaunts to the Farmers Market and excursions to pick fresh strawberries, with the intention of filling my fridge with fresh, locally-grown produce.  One of my priorities this year is to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.  All summer I have been taking advantage of the fruit that is in season:  grapes, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, and melons, to name just a few of my favorites!

With that in mind, I intend to 'Feast On Watermelon', this summer, as part of my I Resolve To . . .  Challenge:  365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness.  Why not join me?  The objective is very simple:  Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'.  Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'.  Instead, make every day New Year's Day.  Make every day count with 'daily resolves'.  The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals.  If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources. 

Watermelon is a great addition to any menu and diet because it is packed with water, fairly low in calories, a great source of Vitamins A, B6, C, Potassium, and Lycopene (which has antidioxant properties).  Of course, there also is one other obvious benefit:  Watermelon tastes great and is a fun addition to any day!  In an effort to learn new things, I did my homework and found a number of websites that are informative and well worth a look:

• Wikipedia.Org - Watermelon
• The World's Healthiest Foods - Watermelon
• SmittenKitchen.Com - Watermelon Lemonade
• About.Com - Home Cooking:  Watermelon Recipes and Cooking Tips.
• National Watermelon Promotion Board - Healthy & Delicious. Everyday.
• University Of Illinois Extension - Watch Your Garden Grow - Watermelon
