I just had to post this. I thought this part of the Disney Dream which is still being built looked pretty cool for the kids who will be with us on this cruise.
I am actually leaving today for the Food & Wine Festival and should be obsessing about that trip, but I am also looking forward to our cruise in March. I've never been on a Disney cruise and everyone says that as usual nobody does it better than Disney.
Just a glimpse of what we can look forward to.

Recipe: Homemade Chocolate Protein Bars
I found a recipe today on SparkPeople that I think I might need to try. It's Homemade Chocolate Protein Bars. I love homemade food. The problem is finding the time to prepare it myself....and then making it again if I like it. Oh well. I'm not perfect. Maybe I'll just gather all of these recipes for a cold, wintry weekend and spend the entire weekend cooking and prepping food to keep my family and myself healthy.

Vacation Preparedness
 |
| The Festival Center of the F&W Festival. A lot of fun shopping. A lot of great events. |
 |
| Renee & Ben at the festival with their Mardi Gras beads and recent beverage purchase. |
 |
| To me, this sign said a lot. CELEBRATE THE JOY OF LIFE! |
 |
| My dear husband - double fisting it! And everyone thinks he's such a nice, sweet guy. |
 |
| Green Army Men at Hollywood Studios. Yep, they whistled at Renee & I. We still got it! |
 |
| Jeff & Renee relaxing by the lagoon. |
 |
| Dinner at Narcoosee's to watch the fireworks. Renee took this great picture of us! Love it! |
 |
| We tried many, many glasses of wine. This was in Germany. |
 |
| Renee didn't like many glasses of wine. |
 |
| But the best memory of all was watching BEN, quiet, sweet Ben try to feed the ducks off the bridge by Canada. |
Here's to making many, many more memories at the Food & Wine Festival.

Goal for October
Last week, I tried to push up from a bridge to a back bend and discovered that not only has my flexibility greatly decreased, but that my arm and shoulder strength has greatly decreased as well. As a result, my goal for the month of October is to work on my shoulders, biceps and triceps. I'd like to see the strength come back into them. Of course, I DO NOT WANT THEM TO LOOK LIKE THIS:

Workout Wednesday
"If you use less than 1% incline on a treadmill, it's like going downhill."
So at a minimum, set your incline to 1.0 and give it a go. Once you get warmed up, start using the incline to raise your heart rate and see how tough those hills really are!
