oh goodness.. I am SO tired! I hope this feeling passes soon. I am going to have to start taking my supplements & Vitamin D again I think. Not exactly sure why I stop taking them when life is usually better when I do. I was awake most of the night so I did not go to the gym this morning. My wrist is still very sore so I would not have been able to lift weights anyway.

I am working on a big project at work. Every few years I get a brain storm. One year it was selling Webkinz & giftware (during the Webkinz craze). It made us a ton of money to get through the recession. The next one was to use part of our store and turn it into a old fashioned candy store. That was awesome, & tons of fun, but has slowed down & the novelty (like Webkinz) has worn off. People will be sad if we close the candy store, we even won a award for it last year, but I think it is time to move on.

This time I actually thought of something related to our pool store, so it won't seem so off the wall. Hopefully, if all goes well, we will launch in March of 2015. It is very exciting, innovative & could go Canada wide if we do it properly. It means that I will be working this winter instead of just working out and relaxing, but I think it will be worth it. Fortunately, the biggest expense to us is my time for this venture so it is a no lose situation.

hope you are having a great day!

Cindy - I am hoping to hear that you are having a better today today...make it to the gym this morning and that the candy is gone! I know exactly where you are coming from, I am actually having a good week this week...but had that sort of week last week.

Lisa - good luck with your new project...and I hope you have tons of success, and hey, if its Canada wide maybe I will get to partake! hehe

We are having more grey weather, but its not raining nor blowing, so I'll not complain too much. Some parts of NB had a lot of snow over the weekend, I am SO hoping for a better winter than last year. I wouldn't mind quite so much if my kids weren't going to be driving in it. When they were little I use to wish for and love snow.

Got 6K run in yesterday and ended up with the best pace I've had in a long time. Just felt good. Just finished another 6K run this morning...however not as great a pace but I'm happy to have got it done. I am going to do some floor exercises too.

Maureen, we are having a grey day too, but it is raining here. They are saying next week some polar event is going to happen to put is into deep freeze. DH better get our pool closed!

Cindy I am right there with you. I started a message earlier about how I had not had a chocolate bar at 10am, and felt accomplished I can't wait until all of the crap is gone. I may start throwing things out next week, since I seem to have NO will power. My kids & husband don't need all that stuff either!

I went to the clinic this morning to make sure my wrist wasn't broken. It just wasn't getting better, it was getting worse & I was starting to worry. He said he is 99% sure it is not broken, but that he will send my x-rays to a radiologist just to be sure. Looks like a soft tissue injury & he recommended a wrist brace, so hopefully that will help to get the rest my wrist needs to get better. No heavy lifting until it doesn't hurt & the swelling goes down. I guess these things don't go away on without rest. It is really hard to rest your wrist. Guess I will just have to run & do regular squats. Gotta do something to make up for the candy!

Hope your day is going well!

Good morning! Was going to get up and run this morning, but my son brought me breakfast in bed! So will run this afternoon. JMBR is still going well - major soreness today, but I'm loving it! The workouts are about 30 minutes including the warm up. I tried the RI30 a few years ago, but never made it to the third phase. Probably would now that I'm in better shape .

Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend!

Cindy, I am pretty bad too. I am giving myself until Monday then I am going on the Dr. Oz 14 day rapid weight loss diet. Well, my modified version anyway. I need something that is going to give me some structure & restrictions I think. Either that or I have to completely stop eating everything, because I cannot seem to stop! The way I look at it is that it is good to have some higher calorie days, because then my body will be ready to lose again. Maybe I will have one of the big 1st week weight losses!

My wrist is almost better so I don't have any more excuses. I ended up having to work the entire day today because DH has the flu. That limited my exercise time, but I don't think I was going to do anything anyway. It is cold, rainy, and yucky out. One of those cold damp days that the cold just seems to go right through you. So here I sit, in a really quiet candy store. Not really a good place for me right now. I can't throw things out here! I am drinking tea, and reading my book, staying in my office, away from candy, when no customers are here. I used to have employees work Saturdays during the winter, but now that I see what goes on here, I might work them all. It is easier then being at home with the kids!

Hi all! I've gotten back into the exercise groove but my eating is awful! For some reason, everything I've eaten lately is high in sodium. Need to get back to veggies for snacks and decent meals. Haven't planned my meals for the couple weeks and I can tell!

At work......so gotta run. Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Thursday night I had a friend post on FB that her father was giving away his York 2001 weight gym as he wanted the room and just wanted it gone as quick as possible. So...it is now in my basement next to my treadmill! So excited.
I know its probably not as good as using free weights, but I am hoping to maybe do some of the heavier weights now. You can do quite a lot of different things with it. I need to find a program now, a beginner program for myself. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Down 1 lb since last Friday. Happy, but wish it were more.
