    TGIF!!!

    I am really looking forward to the weekend. Tomorrow I donate blood and I am hoping with my complete change in diet it brought my iron levels up. Last time I donated I was only 2 points above the acceptable minimum limit so it was a close one but at least I was above and got to donate. I have always been slightly to moderately anemic so it tends to be hit or miss with me.

    I hope to get a hike in on Sunday if the weather is good. We have some pretty amazing trails and gorges here to hike in so I usually end up taking lots of pictures.

    Today, I am having a mostly fruit day because I think my body is clogged up with too many grain foods at the moment. I don't process grains very well.

    Anyway, have a great weekend all and good luck!!!!

    So I was going through some pictures last night and I came across one that was from last year. I can't believe I let myself go so much. I look terrible, I have lost about 15 pounds since then but I still have a lot to go. When I started dating my fiance I was 110-115 lbs in 2005 and last year I reached 151 lbs. I am hoping to get around 120 but most days it just seems impossible.

    My biggest issue is I am an emotional eater. Whenever I get stressed I eat chocolate and cookies

    Today I have only eatten one cookie. I had oatmeal for breakfast and cherries for a snack and just had some yogurt.

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    I had Special K with red berries with skim milk and a large timmy's coffe with double milk for breakfast, lunch was a lean cuisine panini (mmmm ... I love those) and a source vanilla tango yogurt, I snacked on a banana and now I'm enjoying a macintosh apple. So far a good day with the food ... and I'm lucky, I like water now, so I've pretty much had my days worth. I want to wish everyone a Happy Friday and a great Weekend. Does anyone have some fun weekend plans. I'll be going on the Niagara on the Lake Jet Boat ride tonight followed by a BBQ. I'm happy to hear that they'll have some healthy choices for me there ... and I also have Monday off of work so my BFF and I are heading to Toronto for the day ... in the morning we're learning how to drive a segway just for the heck of it, then a nice lunch, then off to the Kensington market in the afternoon. I would love to hear some of your weekend plans.

    My weekend will not be nearly as fun as your. I will be cleaning house and working out. I have a Partylite party on Tuesday and I need to do some major cleaning. We just bought this house the beginning of May and it is a mess. Guess I will be getting in some extra exercise with moving boxes and such. I hope you have a great weekend. :bigsmile:

    Happy Friday everyone! Had a quiet evening tonight. Went for my run/walk after work and then went to my in laws and had a campfire.

    The tall ships are in the city for the weekend so hubby and I are thinking about going down and enjoying that. I am going to start the day with my jog/walk and I imagine I will get a lot of walking in on the boardwalk and around the city. :smile: It should be a great day :love:

    Hope everyone else is having a great weekend! :flowerforyou:

    I am up already to finish studying for my last teaching certification test this afternoon. To treat myself and calm my nerves I have had a toaster strudel this morning. I will have some oatmeal and yogurt in just a little while. I am hoping to get a work out in before I have to leave but we will see how the morning goes!

    Keep in mind just because we have the weekend off from our regular weekly routine doesn't mean we take off eatting healthy and working out!!

    Drink lots of water! :drinker:

    Good Morning all ... Jacqueline0821; good luck with your certification test. So, last night's jet boat ride was just awesome. I totally recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic, fast, exhilerating, wet, wet, wet, wet, ride. It was way fun. I don't know how much calories it burns but it does get your heart rate up.

    I'm in too! I have some weight to lose, but my ultimate goal is to be living a healthier lifestyle by Christmas. Right now I weigh 133 and would love to shed 13 lbs to put me at 120. For breakfast I had cheerios and a bottle of water. It's all I had that I could eat in the car. :smile:

    You are so right. Weekends are the hardest for me. I have instructed my fiance' to tell me know if I want something that I shouldn't. He is not good at telling me no, so this will be hard for both of us.
    I had my protein shake with fresh cherries this morning.
    Have a great weekend everybody.:bigsmile:
