The last 5 days I spent some really nice family time on Vacation in Birch Bay Washington which is located in Blaine. We actually live just across the border only about 30 minutes away but do have to cross the border which can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour or so if you happen to get in a bad lineup.

We stayed at our WorldMark time share in a 2 bedroom fully decked out unit with a beach view and for the most part just stuck around, went down to the pool, enjoyed the apartment and went out for some walks on the beach and to the C Candy shop for the kids.

I did allocate this week as a bit of a higher calorie week but I do need to get back on a very strict program now that I am three weeks out from the Canadian Nationals. I am happy to report that I did get all my workouts in while away as this was a priority for me since I am working very hard to add some more muscle for the Canadian Nationals. Lucky for me there was an Anytime Fitness which even offers a free 7 day membership and their setup had everything I needed to get a really great workout in while I was away :)

Well now that we are back there will be no more cheat days and I will have a very strict diet and workout program to follow right up till Nationals time. I am kind of actually looking forward to more of a routine again!
