Did you do the Dopey challenge??? Not sure I would have the stamina to do that! I've only had one comment on this recent start to my weight loss. One of my running friends, who I hadn't seen in a couple months, said I was looking skinnier. Of course I was wearing running gear, which is much more tight fitting them my…

Yesterday we got 30cm (roughly) of snow. It's going to be another day or two before the sidewalks are clear enough to run outside again. By the weekend they will be as there's a huge rain storm coming! As long as there's no freezing rain as part of the weekend rain! I plan to get to the gym tonight to get a run on the…

I usually take the winter off as I hate cold! I've run the last two days doing 9k between the two days. That's 9k more then January 2019. :D :D :p Get yourself a nice pair of running shoes (if your last pair are worn out) and get out the door! You can do it!

Does go to a new location count as a "newbie"? I want to do a spin class. However, my gym no longer has the 6:30pm time. The Saturday time doesn't work as that's when I do my long runs and Sunday is my rest day. I'm looking at going to a location near my work that has a 5:30 class on Tuesdays. I'll get there in plenty of…

I put my Garmin to "Cardio".

I'm looking to run a half marathon April 18 (motivation to stay running in winter!) and another on September 12. I'm also looking for and hoping to run my 2nd full sometime toward end of September or October. It will require travel to do that so that will all depend on my tax refund! If I get a good tax refund, and a good…

Happy New Year ladies!!!

Marla - Were you successful?? I hope you ladies had a good Christmas. I had a nice day with my family and nephews. There was some good natured fighting over the LEGO City Hospital set I gave them that they wanted. The two youngest were trying to grab it and proclaim it "Mine!" I'd have to say it was huge hit with them. I…

Jenny. So sorry for your loss. Praying for your family. It’s not even 9:00 and I want to go to bed. It was a good day with family. I got everything I need to satisfy my love of reading, crafts and chocolate. I ate so much today I can’t even think of eating again! I did get out for a 5k run this morning. First ever…

Merry Christmas ladies! I spent nearly all day Saturday in my kitchen doing baking. I am done and ready for Christmas!! I gave away a dozen gifts of baked goods. For all of them, I made 4 batches of cookies, fudge, a batch of muffins, one thing of squares, and a batch of truffles. I'm done with baking for awhile! I did…

Jenny - I do live in Nova Scotia. We will get some snow (we did last night) but usually within a day or two it rains and then its gone. I hope this sticks around for at least a week. I want a white Christmas! It's been a few years since we've had one. Ugh. The new law firm I'm at does a firm photo Christmas card they send…

Nova Scotia, Canada

It snowed yesterday. Not much and it won't last. LOTS and LOTS of rain scheduled for Saturday. My hopes for a white Christmas are dim like they always are. Apparently the LEGO set I gave my now teenager nephew, is the LEGO set my youngest nephew (he's 7) wanted. The oldest let the youngest put it together. I think I know…

Went to BodyPump last night again. Happy I went again. Of course I feel it again today! Once I get going enough, I'm sure my body will get used to it. She did one move, with just holding the weighted disks in our hands, that had me totally lost. There was another time we did a move with using the platform; however, mine…

Jenny - Can you share some of your office heat? I went for a run on my lunch break today (which I dressed to warm for) and now I'm freezing! I wore a sweater today, so I put my jacket on. Marla - Yeah for Fridays is right! It's going to be a busy weekend!! Tonight is the Christmas party for the kids program I work in at my…

Jenny - So sorry to hear about Russ. The last couple of years it will snow and then warm up and rain and melt the snow. That snow last week was the first storm of the season and was a total disaster! Leaving a drawer open in your desk can be hazzardous to ones leg. I left a draw open, (metal filing cabinet drawer) walked…

Jenny - The meal along side you never happened. We got a storm up here Thursday that was worse then expected. While we only get about 2 inches, the city came to a grinding halt. I got off work at 4:30 and walked in my door at 9:34. FIVE HOURS to get home. I never want to repeat that again! I had a 5k race on Saturday. The…

I made it to them gym Monday and the BodyPump class!! The quads in my right leg STILL feel it today! I went for a run Tuesday on my lunch break and it was the slowest run I've done in a long time! There was a lot of walking as my legs were protesting to much. I'm going to the gym tonight to run on the dreadmill. By this…

Jenny - Could you order Christmas card photos? My brother and sister-in-law go to Walmart for theirs. Well my determination to do a long run on Saturday never happened - like normal! I was lazy and spent the day making Christmas cards my church sends to all our missionaries. Sunday is a loss for doing much of anything.…

I don't need to buy smaller clothing - I only need to dig them out from the storage tote under my bed, or reach to the back of my closet.

*waves * It's me yet again. I finally got my motivation to get back at it. I think the final straw in my clothes not fitting, and needing to get larger sizes, finally came when I reached to the back of my closet for my nicer dress for my work Christmas party and it didn't fit!! I've had that dress for 20 years (It's simple…

I'll remember that next time. I'll just need to get sausages. I bought a bulk box of KD when it was on that that box of 12 made each individual box of KD $0.66. It's a quick dinner to have when there are times I need to eat and have nothing in the fridge to just re-heat!

Baked chicken and pasta.

Kraft Dinner It was 10:30 at night, I hadn't eaten and was hungry and it cooks fast. 56g for one serving of KD certainly isn't much! I'll do better tonight. Last night was just a very late night. I got home at 9:30 and still needed to do my workout before supper.

Keeping good habits and being consistent in my workouts is the issue!

I just use my Garmin to track my runs, look at my stats from my run (mostly just time, pace and elevations), and also use it to track my work outs for the purpose of tracking calories burned.

I turned 40 in June. I was told it would be harder to loose the weight once I turned 40. I want to prove them wrong!!

Yesterday was a semi-good day. I ate healthily, but couldn't make myself go out the door for a run. I did, however, do Leslie Sanson 5k indoor walk - 3 times. I may not have gotten in a 14k run, but I got in a 15k walk! I'm on day 10 of a 10 virtual race. I've gotten in 30k, mostly walking. I wanted to run this morning…

Ugh. Things have been a tailspin this month. My determination to stay on here, to stay fit, to eat right, went down the drain.

This week has been rough. I’ve had a lot going around on my mind, and still do. I majorily feel off the wagon I was getting back on. I’m trying to climb back on. I need to get running again. It’s such a stress realizer for me. Need to be up and out the door really early tomoow. Really early. I’ve got a friend picking me up…
