You know you've risen to the top when The Bard shows up in your blog! I am fully expecting Laureen to complement as I know she is a Shakespearean lover too.
A couple of unsolicited comments on you working mothers out there - and by working, I mean the awesome work of raising multiples of children. My hat is off to you and I honor you for the hardest job in the world. That said, let us not succumb to the temptation of reverting back to our "old ways." We have all done so well in learning about the benefits of exercise, rest, water, and nutrition. Perhaps we can't sustain the efforts at a "contest level" week after week, especially during the summer (that's why I don't care very much for summer- total lack of routine), but the principles we've embraced can bless us - contest or not. Kristin's comments were very brilliant: Our mental health is so dependent on our body health. That's been one of the finest revelations this contest has taught me: if I take care of my body, mental and spiritual health automatically follow. Maybe I can't get 710 points every week until I die, but I'm determined to try as I know the pain of success is much more rewarding than the pain of regret. I'm not going back. So, let's take what we've learned and build upon it so our lives are upwardly blessed. "Burger King has great salads..." - that's a quote from King Lear!
Good luck to everyone this week. I hope we all get to meet each other soon.
