Hi everyone! Thought I would write a quick note before we left for the sand dunes today. We are camping on the Oregon Dunes near Florence.....if you haven't been there- you are missing out! We have the most beautiful beaches, and of course some killer dunes to ride 4-wheelers on! I have to take it easy this weekend though, I usually wreck at least once a weekend when we go riding.....:) With my guest posings only 11 weeks away, I have to be more careful.

I helped deliver puppies yesterday!!!! My jack russell had a litter of 3 adorable pups......I am so proud of her- she is the best mama. Unfortunately, it was the "Toto" looking dog from next door who is the daddy:( I had a cute little jack russell boyfriend all ready for her....but she had a different idea:) Oh well, nature will find a way. Anybody want a puppy???

I have officially started the "on season" diet. It is really hard to curb my eating the first week. After that, it is usually smooth sailing..... I am really missing coffee with my flavored creamers. I am going to treat myself to one this weekend at the coast:) I lost 3 lbs in this first week already....but it is usually water from cutting out a lot of sodium foods. I am 17 weeks out from my first pro contest, and I am the same measurements that I was 11 weeks out from nationals last year....so I feel pretty good about things right now. I want to diet slower, and keep as much muscle as possible......gotta go up against those big girls:)

Well, I must finish my chores so we can go.....have a great weekend everybody! Train hard, no excuses! I will try to write soon. All my love,

Tami
