The coolest part of this week was the chance I had to work out with Billy Blanks- you know, the Tae Bo guy! It was a lot of fun and a great work out. He shared a lot of good tips- small things like punch across your body that makes a huge difference. He gave a motivational speech afterward and had some really good points. My favorite was his line, “You have the power to be a loser!” Very true, since I do have my free agency and no one can force me to do anything. I have the power to quit. That is a lot of power! If we have that power, that means we also have the power to be a winner, to make the most of our lives. 
He also talked about making working out a lifestyle, not just something you HAVE to do! When it becomes a chore no one will stick with it for very long- yep, I can relate to that!
Anyway, it was really neat to meet him and work out with him. Hard to believe he is 53 years old! I think I will become a Tae Bo fan- it is a fun way to stay in shape!
I got to be in the sun all day on Wednesday since I went on a site visit. It was nice to get out of the office and enjoy the beautiful weather! I think it was over 100 degrees that day… which is starting to get a little too warm even for me!
Oh, the volleyball tournament I mentioned last week… yeah, we lost to the team that went on to win the whole thing. I guess we didn’t do too bad after all!
My wood project is starting to take shape- it’s always fun to see a plan come together!

You know, I have tried Tae-Bo. Fun, but I lack the coordination! What an awesome experience for you though!
You are one tough chick, I would have fallen over after one kick!!!
You are getting to do all sorts of fun things in Kuwait.
