HOME SWEET HOME!

On my way to LA. Driving into Utah as I post. Yay! Beautiful drive!!

My mind flips over and over about the past, present and future. I have dwindled my life down to a car full of belongings. Some moments I feel I’m in a deep valley with a long climb ahead. Other times I feel like an Eagle soaring with Freedom!

For the rest of the trip I will put myself at peace and think of a fresh start, clean slate and loads of possibilities! After all I came to this moment in time thru a long process of conscious decisions. It is exactly what I want!

Wow, it is so neat here in the valley!  I drove up to Aspen, what a precious town!  Every single person there is getting on or off the slopes.  Tomorrow I am taking myself down to NEW CASTLE FAMILY FITNESS.  The club owner says the big boys come in weekdays at 5 pm…. I am going to go give them a “What up!?”

Yesterday, I hit a chest and shoulder workout.  There was a guy in there kicking some ass so I gave him some kudos.  Then I asked him to burn me out in two sets on the flat bench smith machine.  It is a technique I learned from a former coach.  Full reps for 8-10, then 5 reps at the top half and 5 reps at the bottom half.  UGH!  Do this exercise as your LAST chest movement.

Tomorrow I will get a squat workout.  OH YEAH!!

I get to go to my nephews school today and BE show and tell.  We have already decided I was going to lift my nephew as if he was the bar.  We practiced last night, and it went well besides a lot of giggling!

Today my sister and I are planning on hiking at Hanging Lake.  If… my hamstrings can handle it.  I AM SOOO SORE!!  Doing killer legs Tues night, then driving 10 hours the next day and deadlifting heavy Thurs…  capital O, capital M, capital G, and ‘!’ x 10.

Then we are headed to the saloon for a pedicure.  SWEET!

I flew an airplane!!  Well, Bob did most of the flying, but gave me the reigns for a couple of minutes.  It was AMAZING! The whole flight was great!  The winds were rolling off the mountains, so the ride was turbulent.  I don’t mind that though, kind of a thrill for me.  It was crazy banking at 30 degrees, feels like you are about to be tipped over.  Then the landing was CRAZY because of the wind sheer.  A near by viewer radioed Bob to give him kudos on a challenging landing.

Thanks so much Bob for an exciting flight!  I will be your wing woman anytime!!

Below are pictures of me, Bob (the owner and pilot of the plane), Angie (sister) and Jacob (nephew).

This is my first attempt at posting from my blackberry. Technology is awesome! Wish I knew how to post pictures along with text. I would have been stopping to take photos on my drive from Omaha to Glenwood Springs, CO today. It is a 700 mile drive. I made it in just under ten hours. Thanks to the 75 mph speed limit along 80, 76 & 70.

LA, I will be home in about a week!

Oh, had the best work out with my Omaha training partner!  Going to miss torturing you Evan… Okay, I mean torturing US!  I will be driving in PAIN!!

I am having trouble walking already.  SUCCESS!!

This is a great day for me.  I set out on a new life just in time for spring.  I love Omaha and will alway want to visit Omaha, maybe one day return.  But I am headed west, Los Angeles, California.   I have visited there so often, it feels like home.  I have an LA family and options for a new start.

I had decided to move out there about two months ago.  It has been the slowest two months!  It is finally here!

Yes, I will continue to wrestle.  Yes, I will continue to lift.  Follow along!

Since I have been in Omaha I have gotten some great workouts with some great friends.  Back on Thursday and Tris/Bis on Friday with Evan.  I had a great chest and shoulder workout today with Aurelie.

Now I need to find a good leg workout tomorrow before I leave for my new life.

These photos will give you an idea of time well spent this weekend.  Nieces and Nephews… so much LOVE!!
