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
