Beer Shot

On my quest to become a part of our new community, I had decided to take up bowling.  Yep. Bowling.  I have to admit that I was rather nervous to join a league.  I wasn't very good (and am still not) and I was worried that I would bring my team's score down.  Turns out....nobody cares.  Some people care about their personal score, but nobody is there to judge and I've been having a really great time.

My husband and I joined a Scotch Doubles tournament a few weekends back.  That's where you both bowl as if you're one player, taking turns throwing each ball in one turn.  Well, we sort of sucked...or so we thought, cause we actually came in 4th place and won $80!  

Something happened during this tournament though.  Something that I will never ever forget and will probably never ever be able to do again.  I......got a beer shot!!  A beer shot is when you knock the 3 pins down (the two on each side of the headpin/front pin) and then knock the rest down in one turn.  It's not easy.  But....if you can do it, the bowling alley gives you a free beer!  I LOVE FREE BEER!  



This is how I did it.  Pretty wicked, right?!

Feel the burn.

B is no longer for beer and I'm sad   I really should have thought this theme through a little bit more.  Words that start with B and are relative to my "commit to fit" challenge aren't the easiest to come by.  I've decided to go with " burn "  because I am already feeling it!! On Saturday I decided to terrorize exercise my core and upper body after my run.  DOMS set in late on Sunday and after an intense work out tonight, I dread laughing.    My commit to be fit challenge will include 3-4 strength training sessions per week in addition to my half marathon training program.  It's time to feel the burn !  Can you feel it?

So we did something fun!

So we did something super fun and scary last spring... we decided to move to our lake cabin full time !  Ahhh!  It's been very trying and very exciting and I think we're actually settled in out here.  Also, HI!  I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha!  In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750.  And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works!  Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it.  The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it.  I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...

Good choices.

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope your week is a good one! We're on Letter G for the A-Z Challenge, and my commit to be fit post is about making good choices. Making good choices isn't always easy for me.  Mainly, because I'm usually really drunk and not thinking about what's best for me in the long run. You're probably thinking that I'm talking about making good diet choices and, of course, I am, but they aren't the only choices that need to be made when choosing to live a fit and healthy lifestyle.   Nutrition and diet choices are, actually, probably the easiest of all them all.
