Took the kids and their friends to the beach today.  I always pray that I do not run into someone that I know over there!   It  can be a scary sight to see me without make-up and in a bathing suit!!!  Thank God my kids love and accept me, no matter what I look like!!

This beach day was different for me.  Before, the beach was about the food!!  Potato chips, cookies and anything fattening that I could stuff into the beach bag!!!  Today, I only snacked on fruit.  It was not as terrible as I thought it would be.  Instead of thinking of what I would eat it next, I just concentrated on the beauty of the beach and of the incredible time that my kids were having!!

Came home exhausted, but managed to jump rope!!  So far so good.  I usually fall off the wagon on the third day, but I pray that this will not happen again!!
