Yes, my main meal is full all that good stuff; it's a pretty big meal!! :smiley: I killed my treadmill today. It's good and dead. So now I have to come up with a back-up plan while we either get this one repaired or buy a new one. Sheesh. There's always something. The cabin fix is still underway. Painting and new flooring…

Just popping in for a quick hello. I've had a really good week. Down 10.2 lbs in just 10 days. Woo hoo! But it's basically cutting out every other thing in my life right now. No time for extra-curriculars when you're on the treadmill for 3 hours per day!! (I've got so many blisters...) My fitbit is finally celebrating my…

I started back on the treadmill yesterday. Need to get my food back on track. Way too many starchy carbs lately. I'm going to spend Monday (Canadian Thanksgiving) prepping for next week. I can't stop snacking right now, so I'm going to make a lot of date balls and trail mixes to help with my overeating danger times... I'm…

My poor kitty has gone to the vet twice in 6 days. He had a bacteria and he was sick. The first time he went he was diagnosed and then I got antibiotics for him and they were HARD to administer. Very bitter tasting, and the smart brat cheeked the pill and spit it out later. So I had to push it out of his cheek a half a…

Good morning everyone. The house is sold. They took possession last Wednesday. DONE!!! I've been busy trying to unpack the final boxes, and I had a garage sale last weekend. That basically took up the last 10 days or so. But everything that didn't sell is being donated today; my parents are loading it all up in a truck and…

I'm in Saskatchewan and I'm not too close to the fires either, but it was hazy here and I couldn't even THINK about going for a walk outside. It was terrible. I seriously can't imagine living in BC right now... It isn't real yet that the house sold; hasn't sunk in yet. But they take possession in 2 short weeks, so it'll be…

It's official!! The house is SOLD!!! :grin:

That guy was a jerk. I know I've complained about swimmers in my lane before on this forum, but even when I am mad about someone being in my lane, I never physically touch them or run into them EVER! That's just ignorant. Sorry about your black eye. :confused: I was doing great yesterday until I baked some tater tots for…

I didn't get my banana muffins made last night, so I just grabbed an orange and a green apple for a snack later. I'll have to make the muffins tonight (they're so yummy!) Today is the home inspection at the old house. Keep your fingers crossed for me! (Last time we had an inspection (in Jan), we ended up having to buy a…

Donna, the chocolate pudding is from the Oh She Glows blog. It's just 3 medium bananas (not too brown), half of an avocado and cocoa. Put it all in the food processor until smooth and then chill. So easy, and so good! The other recipes are from a vegan nutritionist Grounded Nutrition (.com, I think). I have a few of her…

Jacqueline, we're anniversary twins!! :smiley: Donna, you look great in your pic and congrats on the finish!! Woo hoo! I spent the afternoon and evening getting myself prepped for the week. It's the only way I can do this thing properly. I made Day 1 meals and snacks. I know Dr. F says no snacks, but if I don't have…

Hi Mihani, yes we're going to Orlando for Christmas again. My brother & his family, my family and our parents are all going. We're renting an 8 bedroom house this time, so we're saving some money to boot. And we're going to go to LEGOLAND and to NASA this time too, in addition to Harry Potter World and Disney... We're all…

Hi! I'm around. First week back to work and I am seriously dragging my butt. Add PMS into the mix and I am a giant walking talking carb-loading hormone! No more holidays for me until Christmas. :cry: But at least I have something to look forward to - Orlando, woot!! I have some catching up to do on the thread, but I'll try…

Good morning; almost a week since the open house. We had one more viewing, but haven't had any feedback, so it's probably not going anywhere. There is a couple from out of town that seemed interested in the open house and they need to move in July 31st, so we might hear back from them - they said something about "see you…

Yes, I love my copics (alcohol ink markers) - I love blending color. :smiley: I do have a dedicated craft room in the new house, but it's the den. In the old house it was my whole basement. So I still need to de-clutter and prioritize what I want to keep... Now that my daughter is fundraising for her Quebec trip, I'm going…

Mmm. those salads look delicious! My cards are more cartoony, maybe?

You cards are beautiful! I've been teaching card classes for probably in the neighborhood of about 15 years... Geez, I hadn't thought about that before... That's CRAZY! I've finished my yarn; I'm really pleased with it. :smiley: Here's a closeup We're having an open house on Saturday again, but the reality is that we…

I have been to Quebec and Montreal before, for my grade 8 French trip. :smiley: I don't remember a lot, just a few highlights, probably none of which had to do with any of the sights. Carla, I'm doing TdF this year too. My first time. I've joined a few different teams on Ravelry. This month I'm going to try to n-ply a…

The trip is just a whirlwind 5 days, but making a point to stop in vieux Montreal and vieux Quebec so the kids can see the cobblestoned areas of the city. Also going to the Bascilica, Olympic park, visiting a sugar shack for a maple syrup treat, etc. It'll be fun and after 5 days I'm sure I'll have had enough of a bunch of…

Painted the boathouse this past weekend. Blah. But it looks much better. Have a meeting tonight for my DD's grade 8 trip to Quebec; I've been designated the free parent chaperone. Yay! I like free. But it's gonna be work to fundraise for my DD's spot. So there's that. But if anyone can do it, it's me. I've fundraised tens…

OK. I'm gonna do it. Note to self: Time to get serious!!!

:) You just made my day!

Donna, veggie kabobs on the grill are my absolute favorite loaded with mushrooms, yum! Don't let your sister get you down. I know it's hard to get over sibling stuff sometimes, but you can't make her understand about protein (or alcohol). Just take a deep breath and then let it all go. You do you, girl!! :smiley: I didn't…

Carla, here's my show & tell... I'm spinning this right now: And I finished this yarn at the beginning of the month: I've gotten my eating a little more under control this week and I've also been outside walking with my zombies app. I've been starting with 4km every morning at 5; I started last Tuesday, so I'm feeling good…

Carla, I'm intruigued about your master spinning class! Sounds awesome (and like something I'll never be able to find time for... Will message you on Ravelry... House is still not sold. Not really much action on it either. It's depressing. I did get up this morning and go for a 4km walk with my zombies app. So that was…

Sadly no, I haven't sold the house yet. I've just been busy with 4x ball hockey games every week and work and excuses. I've not been eating well, I've not been exercising. I need to get back on track. It's getting ridiculous...

I have been struggling all week, and I've blown my progress by overeating. Pretzels are also my big weakness this week... I have been having bad dreams, and waking up in the morning completely exhausted. First, I was arguing with strangers. Then, I lost my son and couldn't find him for days. When I finally found him he was…

Friday - yay!! (finally)

I'm feeling run down too this week; it's been busier than usual and I haven't gotten on the treadmill this week because I'm too tired to wake up. But I did still do my 2 swims, so at least there's that... I can't wait for the weekend.

The snow hasn't melted here yet, so I can't even wrap my head around outdoor pools and bike rides just yet... And we're supposed to have more snow this week, too... :open_mouth: Woo hoo, good job with the weight loss, Mihani!! I'm pooped. SOOOOooooooo tired. Carla, I did some spinning on the weekend. Check it out!
