Hello!! I missed you all while I was speaking Spanish down in Mexico. On the plane ride back I actually considered writing my vacation recap post all in espanol just to keep the vacation mentality alive¸ pero, yo no sé si alguien lo entendería.
The first item of business is this:
Please bear with me as I’m making some changes to the blog look, and I actually want to bake a cake today to get a new picture for my header. I’m excited. All should be said and done by lunchtime.
Secondly:
Push-up-progress:
I can now do 16 real push-ups in a row! I am actually surprised at how quickly I have improved. To build up to this, I have been doing between 30-40 real push-ups a day (sometimes incline push-ups on my coffee table if I’m feeling weak), but scattered into sets of 10s, 8s, and 4s. I love seeing progress so quickly, but for some reason – I have a really hard time motivating myself to actually do them. I usually remember when I’m watching TV at night – and then I just break them up throughout a TV show…better than nothing!
Thirdly:
First of all – I LOVED reading all of your jokes. It provided for some entertainment at the airport while I was waiting to board the plane back home. Thank you!!

Congrats, I will email you the coupon code! Happy shopping!
With that, I’m off to bake a cake for a photo shoot…



Um, first, 16 pushups is AWESOME!! And second, I am loving the new look.
Good job on the pushups! It is amazing how quickly our body can progress and get stronger!
Congrats on the push ups! I’m afraid I picked a terrible month for such a challenge and am still at 6. Ouch. Oh, well. There’s a reason the word travel is in the blog’s url
. Good luck with the cake!
Wonder woman! 16 push ups is awesome!
I wish I had the knowledge and the know how to change the look of my blog. I can’t wait to see your new header!
Can’t wait to see that cake! (I wish you could virtually share a piece…)
Color me impressed by the pushup progress! I should definitely get into this.
I’m excited to see your cake header!
Love the new look – can’t wait to see the cake!
Great job on the push ups! That’s a neat challenge that I need to do. Me too – show the cake!
Glad to see you’re back! I can’t wait for the cake. Yum!
