What better way to celebrate Christmas Eve by starting new family traditions? We have always done a lot of cooking before Christmas, and this year was no different. Today, we made our peanut butter and chocolate cheesecake (absolutely no calories in it whatsoever and I know that JC will completely understand!). We also started another tradition: a shot put throwing contest. It’s been about two and a half years since I have thrown the shot put. A lot has happened since then, including some discoveries that I made during our outing today.
Here I am practicing at Laguna Middle School
- First, I realized that losing 90 plus pounds (aka my “throwing weight”) definitely makes a difference
- Second, the 4k shot put definitely feels different than before
- And last but not least– I have a whole new respect and appreciation to what I did in the ten years I was in track.
It was fun to throw again in the shot ring with Mom, Dad, and Karla. We had our family shot put contest at Laguna Middle School in SLO. I spent many hours with Dad working out there — Laguna Middle School has the best shot put rings in SLO by far. It brought back many wonderful memories of working out with Dad. I am not sure how many hours we spent throwing against the handball courts, running around the track, or throwing in the ring– but it was a lot. We had a blast today, and I am positive that this will be a new Freberg family tradition.
I hope you all are having a wonderful time with your friends and family for the holidays, and I wish you all a happy and Merry Christmas!
Best Wishes,
Karen
