I used to train, diet, work and compete. Now I train, eat, and am retired. I have learned that it is possible to stay fit and healthy while cooking a great dinner with a cocktail in hand. Remember, "Life is not a dress rehearsal"

Sunburn
I sat outside with "R" for about an hour and a half after my scrub and ended up with a burned upper chest.
So yesterday morning at the gym, "A" walks up to me in his lilting Scottish accent and says "What happened?! You've got a burn!"
I explained how three layers (I am exaggerating you know) were scrubbed off then I sat outside, not a good idea.
He told me that he learned a trick in Israel, slather plain yogurt on the burn, leave it for 20 minutes and then shower and it's gone!
So here I am with yogurt and I should have put it on my face too!
The smell was making me hungry, I haven't had yogurt in ages, probably about 6 months, the tangy scent kept wafting up to my nostrils. Then I started thinking about the move 9 1/2 weeks, the one with the steamy food scene between Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger.
After stepping out of the shower, both my husband and I agreed, the burn looked much calmer, not nearly as red.
A few hours later, you could barely see any sunburn!
I think this is a keeper!

How's the burn, doing? Will you be in shape for the competition? By the way, I am leaving Saturday morning for the mountains, so I shall wish you luck now, and I shall hear all about it once it is over!
