Hola,
 I have experienced a sad few weeks with the passing of my father, Arthur Graves.
He loved San Pancho and was once one of the few
gringos who came to San Pancho in the 1990's.
He will be missed. Services to be announced.
I look forward to bringing you all the happenings in our community, and share with you, the joy of living in San Pancho.
Please feel free to post your comments, share your photos, and report any news about San Pancho on our Facebook page.
You can contact me directly at kim@sanpancholife.com, if you would like to talk about advertising or submit a written article.
I look forward to talking to you about San Pancho and encourage you to come by the office, at #50 Tercer Mundo.
Saludos!
Kimberly

The 3,958 yards, par 32 course was built in 2005-2006 and is located next to the beach, with several holes featuring ocean views. It was developed along soursops, cinnamons, mangos, tamarinds and many other native trees.

It was this past July 12, that Ana Luisa Hernández Acosta, President of the Handicap Ratings Committee of the Mexican Golf Federation, visited the course to evaluate and certify it.
"We've decided to open the course to the public," commented Francisco Sandoval, who manages the course. "We have the support of municipal and state authorities to offer a new golf option in Riviera Nayarit. The inauguration will tentatively take place next October in order to cater to winter travelers, and that's an additional reason why we strived to obtain this certification," he added.

Back from the Brink
|
 The sea turtles are coming up in healthy numbers so far this season. So far we have recorded 94 nests, which is 21 more than last year at this time. If this positive trend continues, we are in for a busy season!
We have just finished building a new Incubation Nursery which is 10.5 feet longer than our previous nursery. This larger building will increase our seasonal capacity by 10,000 hatchlings. By incubating the turtle eggs in this nursery rather than naturally on the beach we have achieved a consistent 87% hatch rate over the past 5 years. Eggs that are incubated in the beach nursery only hatch with 72% success.
The first Olive Ridley nest was collected on San Pancho Beach on June 19th and we are anxiously anticipating its hatching which is estimated to be August 3rd.
 We are fortunate to have a great crew of international volunteers right now: Katy from Rhode Island, Kat from Germany; Mary, Morgen ,Lilly, Joslin, Starlie and Summer all from Arizona, and Mark and Jessica from Wisconsin.
These volunteers work together with our local team (Frank, Pedro, Andres, Juan and Pando) to bring in nests of eggs for safekeeping. We are grateful for all help-physical, finanacial, and spiritual from our supports around the world.
Please remember if you own or are renting a beach house here in San Pancho, it is very important to keep the outside lights turned off from 11pm to 6am. Nesting adults can become disoriented by artificial lighting and they can waste precious energy trying to return to the sea. Hatchlings that emerge from nests left on the beach naturally also follow artificial lights and end up crawling into people's yards instead of toward the sea. If you see and turtle hatchlings on the beach please gather them and carry them down to where the wet sand begins and let them crawl into the ocean. If you see an adult turtle on the beach, or if you see anyone digging up a nest, please call us anytime night or day at 311 258-4100 or on our cell phone 322 889-5916. Our team of volunteers is available 24/7 and we will come immediately.
Or you can see our day to day work on Facebook at: San Pancho Turtles https://www.facebook.com/pages/San-Pancho-Turtles/179273792083463 Las tortugas marinas están llegando en números sanos hasta ahora esta temporada.

El edificio más grande aumentará nuestra capacidad de temporada por 10.000 crías.

Los huevos que son incubados en el vivero única playa de radiador con 72% de éxito.

Por favor, recuerde que si usted es dueño o está alquilando una casa de playa aquí en San Pancho, que es muy importante para mantener las luces fuera de apagado 11 p.m.-6 a.m.. Los adultos de anidamiento pueden desorientarse por la iluminación artificial y se puede desperdiciar energía preciosa tratando de volver al mar. Las crías que emergen de los nidos que dejan en la playa, naturalmente, también siguen las luces artificiales y terminan meterse en jardines de la gente en lugar de hacia el mar. Si usted ve y crías de tortuga en la playa por favor, los reuniré y los llevan hasta donde comienza la arena húmeda y dejar que se arrastran en el océano.

4 Simple Ways to Give Your Metabolism
a Healthy Boost
|
 As we age, our metabolism naturally slows down. For many, this is a rather unwelcome part of getting older; most of us aren't thrilled with the idea of carrying around extra pounds. To compensate for a slowed metabolism, your first reaction might be to reduce your calorie intake or extend your workouts. But wait! This may not be the best, or most enjoyable, solution. Instead, why not try these simple tricks to give your metabolism a gentle (and natural!) boost?
1) Eat whole foods that support your thyroid. A happy thyroid means a healthy metabolism. By keeping your thyroid healthy you can support a strong metabolic rate and maintain a healthy weight. Whole foods containing iodine such as sea veggies, seafood and strawberries are key players in keeping your thyroid healthy and your metabolism high. A small amount of iodine daily can do wonders for your metabolism. Don't overdo it though; a tiny amount is plenty. Too much iodine can be harmful.
2) Add some light weights to your workout or yoga routine. Just one day a week of doing a series of gentle toning exercises with 2/3-pound weights can do wonders for your metabolism. To give your metabolism a boost you don't need to lift heavy weights that build muscle. Instead, focus on using light weights that tone your muscles. Toning works your muscles gently, giving your metabolism a boost and helping you burn those pesky pounds. You might also consider adding some light weights to your yoga routine. Yoga sculpt classes that use weights throughout a series of yoga poses are also becoming more popular.
3) Move your body in new ways! When you repeat the same activity over and over again, your body may fall into a bit of a metabolic rut. When you practice the same series of yoga poses, jogging at the same pace, etc., your body becomes too familiar with the repetitive motion. Instead, why not gently push your body out of its comfort zone with new and dynamic movement that targets a variety of muscle groups and stimulates your metabolism? Try mixing up your yoga routine or style, do some sprints, or try a new sport like stand up paddle boarding.
4) Don't starve yourself! Severely restricting your caloric consumption can actually decrease your metabolic rate. Consuming too few calories will prompt your body to go into "starvation mode," which means that it will store calories. Ideally, you want to keep your body nutritionally satisfied with an array of quality foods. It's important to find the ratio of healthy fats, proteins and complex carbohydrates that works best for your unique body. Find your personal balance, and you'll keep your metabolism happily humming along.
You can also support your metabolism by giving every cell in your body a blast of nourishment? Join me for my upcoming 30 day nourishment challenge!
A medida que envejecemos, nuestro metabolismo se ralentiza naturalmente. Para muchos, esta es una parte bastante inoportuna de envejecer; la mayoría de nosotros no está emocionada con la idea de llevar kilos de más. Para compensar un metabolismo lento, su primera reacción podría ser reducir la ingesta de calorías o extender sus entrenamientos. Pero espere! Esto no puede ser la solución mejor y más agradable. En cambio, ¿por qué no probar estos simples trucos para impulsar su metabolismo suave (y natural)?
1) Comer alimentos integrales que apoyan su tiroides. Una tiroides feliz significa un metabolismo sano. Manteniendo su tiroides saludable puede apoyar una fuerte tasa metabólica y mantener un peso saludable. Alimentos integrales que contengan yodo como verduras de mar, mariscos y fresas son jugadores claves en mantener su tiroides saludable y tu metabolismo alto. Una pequeña cantidad de yodo diariamente puede hacer maravillas para su metabolismo. No exagere una pequeña cantidad es suficiente. Demasiado yodo puede ser perjudicial.
2) Añadir algunos pesos ligeros a su rutina de ejercicio o yoga. Sólo un día de hacer una serie de ejercicios de tonificación suaves con pesas de 2/3 libras por semana puede hacer maravillas para su metabolismo. Para impulsar su metabolismo no necesita levantar pesos pesados que construcción músculo. En cambio, se centran en usar pesas livianas que tonificar sus músculos. Tonificación trabaja los músculos suavemente, dando su metabolismo un impulso y ayudándole a quemar esas libras molestas. También puede considerar agregar algunos pesos ligeros a su rutina de yoga. Yoga esculpir las clases que uso pesos a lo largo de una serie de poses de yoga también están ganando popularidad.
3) Mover su cuerpo en nuevas formas! Cuando se repite una y otra vez la misma actividad, su cuerpo puede caer en un poco de la rutina metabólica. Cuando usted practica la misma serie de poses de yoga, jogging en el mismo ritmo, etc., su cuerpo se vuelve demasiado familiarizado con el movimiento repetitivo. En cambio, ¿por qué no empuje suavemente su cuerpo fuera de su zona de confort con movimiento nuevo y dinámico que se dirige a una variedad de grupos musculares y estimula el metabolismo? Pruebe mezclar su rutina de yoga o estilo, hacer algunos sprints o un nuevo deporte como stand up embarque de paddle.
4) No morir de hambre usted mismo! Restringir severamente el consumo calórico en realidad puede disminuir su tasa metabólica. Consumiendo muy pocas calorías, le pedirá su cuerpo para entrar en "modo de hambre", lo que significa que almacenará calorías. Idealmente, desea mantener su cuerpo nutritivamente satisfecho con una variedad de alimentos de calidad. Es importante encontrar la proporción de grasas saludables, proteínas y carbohidratos complejos que funciona mejor para su cuerpo único. Encuentre su equilibrio personal y mantendrá tu metabolismo tarareando felizmente a lo largo.
