    Not early.
    I've had decorations up since the middle of Nov. including the tree!! Thanks to my daughter getting all excited when the neighbours across the street turned their lights on on Nov 13th or so.
    I put the outside lights up but I won't turn them on until Dec 1st.

    My weekend plans are:
    Today is my mom's birthday, so we're celebrating that, gonna chill and probably go to the gym tomorrow and Sun,
    Sunday is also my 2nd official weigh in since going on here regularly, so hopefully I lost a few pounds ^^
    I have a meeting to discuss a job today, as Caperfae knows I'm not to thrilled about it, but ya, that's my weekend :P
    Hope everyone else's goes well! :D

    It's Friday night.
    Just finished up a little 20 minute workout to end the day (total burn of 956 today), now I'm sitting here watching the Wiggles.
    Who is jealous?
    I forget what a social life is like, lol

    Hitting the shower soon and then get my cozy pajamas on and relax for the remainder of the night.

    I ordered the Zumba game for Wii earlier this week from Amazon ... IT GOT HERE TODAY!!!! YAY YAY YAY. I only had the chance to try out some of the tutorial because we rented a few movies and the hubby wants to watch them ... but what I did so far seems like fun. I've got a bit of a sweat going on already. I'll let you know how it is as I use it more. I can't believe how fast it got here ... thank you Amazon!!!

    UGH the one way streets in Hamilton are THE worst....the worst is when you're going North on James, and there's no left turns on King, gotta go all the way to Cannon. LAME!

    lol

    I'm from Toronto, currently living in Hamilton.

    The one-way streets are practically no more. They used to separate locals from the rest. Now, we have nothing left to hold over you :tongue:

    I live in Canada :) I am an American though... Until the wonderful Canadian government accepts our application for residency! Well, then we have to wait a few years to become citizens:) But still on our way :)

    We live in BC.But, once we are residents we may want to move to Toronto.

    Hello from BC. I live in the snowy Fraser Valley about 90 minutes from Vancouver airport. I found this site as i was scanning the motivational sites so i do not snack right now!!! evenings are the hardest times for me but i REALLY need to stay on track. Hoping to hit the gym tomorrow and see if i have any weight loss. I do not have a scale at home as most would not go high enough for me but perhpas soon i will fit on a regular one!

    New Year, new goal...ABS! I started my healthy living journey almost 2 years ago after my second son was born and haven't looked back yet. Well...ok...Xmas and New Years was not as big a success as I thought. I was off from the gym for almost two weeks, worked out at home when I could and found out that I gained, all be it only a pound but after thinking I had done so well and maybe lost weight, it was really dissapointing. POOP! A pound is hard to lose when the body keeps fighting tooth and nail to keep it.
    I have started the INSANITY program with my husband so I hoe we can keep each other motivated.
    PS...Ontario

    It's just that. INSANE!!!! You can get the DVD set at Wallmart or do what I did and download it off the internet. It's a lot of Cardio. You sweat! Most people recommend doing the Beachbody P90x first - its a 90 day program (search online for info on both, it's all over) and move to the 60 day Insanity program. It is HIGH intensity and not for the faint of heart. I am on week two and still sweat like mad.
