I just got home from my 10 day stay on the Oregon Coast!!! We took our toy hauler and all our 4-wheelers to the Florence sand dunes.....it was a total blast! The kids rode and rode all day, every day. I had more fun watching them improve with each passing day:) I ran in the sand, and hiked sand dunes for my cardio (fun fun). I did really well on my diet up until the last 3 days of my vacation.....I just thought to myself "this is my vacation, I deserve a little break!" So, I ate 1/2 a bag of tootsie rolls, felt like crap, and now I am happily back on my program:) The water flushed off pretty quickly....no harm, no foul:) Needless to say, I enjoyed myself...hee hee hee. I have been working on my new routine so hard the last 2 days. I only have 4 weeks until my first guest posing!!!!!

While in Florence, I had the opportunity to visit my friend Vicki's gym (Vic's power house). I had so much fun working out with her....(thank you my friend, for all your generosity:). She is training for the Emerald Cup 07 (which she looks like, will be a good show for her:) The girl's got some guns now!!!!

I went school clothes shopping with my kids today......if you have never been shopping with an opionated 8 year old, who thinks she knows everything......DON'T!! I just stood back, tried not to argue (because it is pointless), and just vetoed anything I thought made her look like a pussy cat doll (her favorite music group). If it looked like it belonged on a 16 year old- she loved it! I am trying really hard to keep her a "kid" as long as possible:) My son on the other hand, would say "ok" to whatever he tried on...(whether it fit or not). He just really could care less about his clothes (unless they are camoflage- then they totally rock!) Well, I will quit boring you with this stuff. I must go to bed- it is a busy training day tomorrow, and it is a cheat meal night!!! I think DQ sounds good- a nice cheeseburger, fries, and a blizzard! I'll let you know how it goes.....ha ha ha:) Take care everyone, train hard= no excuses! Love ya,
