Day 90 - Dec. 7

I'm back. I know it has been a while and let me tell you it has been quite a ride.

Cynthia and I had a lovely holiday at the Punta Cana Princess All Suite Resort and Spa. Unfortunately Cynthia and I must have caught a bug on the plane. Cynthia was quite sick on the first 3 days and then seemed to get a little better. I was fine at the resort but started to feel in on the Sundaay after we got home. I got one workout with Joseph and then I went down. Hot and cold sweats, achy, cramps, fever and then it turned into a really bad head and chest cold. Cynthia relapsed after we got home and was also sick in bed. Needless to say I have not been to work out with Joseph in almost 2 weeks. I am back tomorrow and ready to get back in action.

Cynthia and I worked out for a few hours every day while we were on holidays. We both actually lost weight while we were away and we really didn't skimp on anything. The water was great and we would go out to where the sand dropped off under your feet and we would walk in the water for about 45-60 minutes a couple of times a day. That really worked the butt and the triceps. Then we would work out in the pool as well. We both had some time at the spa and spent about one hour at the casino (it was a sad little casino).

This past weekend was cookie making time. We make these 2 Italian cookies every year with all my cousins and my friend Nancy. We make dozens and dozens. I give them away to my aunts and uncles and cousins. It is a tradition that goes back to my grandmother and my mom and dad and now the cousins and when my niece is old enough I will get her making them as well. My cousin brought her daughter for the first time this year and we got her working.

We had our book club dinner this past Saturday and my god, it was fabulous. Joanne and Kim really went all out, And it doesn't hurt that Joanne teaches in the hospitality division of George Brown and gets all kinds of food from the chefs. It was a nice evening with good food and great company.

Thats all for tonight.
