I workout so I can eat, not the other way around

I didn't realize so much time had passed since my last post. This past week was a vacation spent in Helena with the family - we passed time relaxing, boating, hiking, eating, drinking & all other things conducive to vacationing. I love food & drink. To combat the effects of my love of all things food & drink, I workout. I would rather workout more & eat more than have to eat less. I want my cake (& beer) & I want to eat (drink) it too. 'Nuff said. Luckily, the Ramirez clan is big into working out (possibly bordering on obsessed; but I'm not the only one in the family with a burning passion for food & drink) - I had plenty of exercise throughout the week. (Despite this fact, I think I still gained a few pounds...ah well, it was all worth it).

I didn't take any pictures, but the rest of the family had their cameras out at all moments, so I'll try to hunt some down. Now I'll attempt to return to regular blogging (including more pictures, as I know my workout schedule is not always fascinating to everyone else).
