So, we are back from our week getaway to Lake Powell. So much fun, I will be posting details later...soon...whenever I get around to it. We are still busy on the interior of the house.
Found out that my race for this saturday has been cancelled, totally bummed about that. I was looking forward to conquering "the hill" on my bike. Besides, training for a race always gives me better motivation for working out that anything else. I love it. And after a week in a bathing suit and seeing myself in some of the pics, and eating crazy bad food all week....it need motivation for sure.
I did have a great time getting to know a new friend of mine. She is adventurous and unique, and I love it. "L" eats very healthy and lives an educational life, traveling to Costa Rica for months at a time just to live healthy. Those of you who know me know that I love the "healthy" lifestyle, but don't always live it. You know...talk about eating raw foods and organic and cooking without all the "good" but oh-so-bad-for-you stuff, but then while I talk about it, scarf down a delicious poppy seed muffin (ate a lot of those this week), or open up a bag of chips while I "talk" about eating better.
Let me explain, I do not see myself going completely raw and organic (although I like the idea), but even making some small changes in my diet can't hurt me, right. I am 30, after all. But after spending some time with "L", I am rethinking some of my eating habits. Don't worry, I don't plan on forcing it on anyone, particularly my husband (I know some of you are worried...wink, wink, you know who you are), but to instill some healthy eating habits into my children isn't wrong, right?
Ok, enough of that random thought, what else...back to work on the house. I love this project, but when I hear of all the fun summer things people have been doing, I wish this house didn't consume us. Can't wait for it to be done though. Ok, I have babbled enough.
No more random thoughts from Paula, signing off.

I too am a big fan of organic/raw eating. I'm not 100% there yet, might never be...but I do try to instill healthy eating in my house. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to eat my Ben and Jerry's icecream.:)
I need your email address so I can send you those kick butt videos of you conquering a slight fear. I gained 3 pounds at Lake Powell. Dang it, stupid muffins!
"L" is one of the most amazing women I know. It made me almost emotional to know you bonded with her. :-) I SOOO enjoyed bonding with you!
I like the fall colors. I'm looking foward to seeing some of the inside of your house. I admire people who live healthy lifestyles as well. I always seem to be starting and stopping but never quite making the change! Maybe someday. Glad you had a fun vacation!
The blog looks good. You've got motivation for this type of "thing" - eating healthy and such. Good luck and then when you've mastered it, maybe I can learn a thing or two!
