Hi Ladies. I've been battling a cold all week but finally feel better. Today is a provincial holiday so I have the day off. It was nice to sleep in! I was going to go to the gym but the cold temperatures chickened me out. I did do a workout in my living room though. First one in a couple of weeks. Feels good! My parents…

Slept in later today then I wanted so I'm getting out later then I wanted to do all my running around. Lots of different places to go to today. It's going to be a long day to get it all in! I had a big brunch. Can't be breakfast when it's nearly 11 when you eat! (I said I was getting out later then I wanted!). I ended up…

First ever OUTDOOR RUN IN WINTER!!! I did 5k tonight. It feels so good!!! Of course the above freezing temperatures is what helped motivate me to get out the door! I also saw that the registration opened on a race I want to do this year. I am now registered for four races this year! I"m considering a fifth right now. I…

On Monday night I ran!! First run in 3.5 months! It felt good. It took me awhile to get up to speed and I couldn't stay at it as it's been so long, but it felt so good! I haven't been back since. Tuesday and Wednesday were to busy. Thursday was open gym night and free pizza. I wasn't going! Friday was to stormy. I got home…

Looking at some of the pictures from the storm in the US and simply laughing at some. I guess I'm just used to that much snow! What some areas got I currently have and winter isn't over yet! (Wish it was!). This weekend turned into a beautiful sunny weekend. Though a little on the cold side!! Even though I had my long coat…

Winter is here! We got over 15cm on Wednesday and somewhere close to 30cm yesterday. (I haven't heard an exact measurement yet) That's about 1.5 feet in a week. Sunday school has been postponed to our church service hour. Work has slowed down. Not a lot of people buying or selling homes in winter. It's nice though. It…

The other girl I work with was back today. (I've been doing all the property for the last nearly two weeks), I was so happy to see her!! Work hasn't slowed down yet despite it being January. It looks like it might starting next week. That will give me a chance to work on all those things I've put on the back burner. I've…

Happy New year ladies!!! Christmas was so good. I was over at my brother and sister-in-laws with my 3 little nephews and my parents. It was a good day. Lots and lots of food! I got several things to indulge in my desire to craft. Joseph gave me his Dad's newest book and a rug for my bedroom. The rug surprised me. It's a…

Has it really been nearly 3 weeks since I posted on here!!!?? Yikes! I've been so busy I've barely had any time to relax. Last night and tonight are the first nights I've had nothing to do in the evening when I got home. I last posted on the days leading up to the cantata at church. It went really great! My oldest nephew…

Amy - Hugs to you. I will keep you in my prayers. Glad to see you back on here and hear how you are doing. I am ready to collapse. This week has been so long! My last evening at home was Saturday. My next evening at home is Monday. It's that season! Between church and rehearsals this week, it's been busy! My church…

You can get liquid water enhancers. Add a couple of drops and it gives flavor to the water. Most of them contain no calories.

Congratulations! I ran my first 10k length in the summer and my first 10k race in September. It was so exciting! Keep at it and watch that time get better and better!

I try to eat before leaving for work. (Emphasis on the try). When I find I don't have time as I overslept, I take something with me to have at work when I get there. I try to have muffins made to take one of those or cinnamon rolls. I sometimes have the Special K Breakfast Shakes. (I only get them when they go on sale or I…

Jenny - That was an early Thanksgiving dinner. Will you do anything on the 26th? (Had to check my calendar for the date!) Shirley - Your grandson is getting so big! Marla - Glad to hear Zack apologized. Jenny - Glad to hear the observation went well. When I was teaching I would go into panic mode when someone would walk…

I went to the dentist tonight. I thought they were doing two filings. (That's what his receptionist told me) It was actually three! I'm still not fully thawed out and it's been three hours since they finished. It's thawed out enough for me to feel it though. (Doesn't help that my monthly visitor arrived at the same time.)…

Hi Ladies. I've been lurking but not really posting. I've completely lost my motivation to eat healthy and stay fit. Running hasn't really been happening as I'm not really wanting to go in the dark. (It's nearly dark now by the time I get home from work!). I also need warmer running clothes and that gets really expensive.…

Shirley - Happy Thanksgiving! Have a great day tomorrow! Tomorrow I plan on getting in a good 10k run in the morning. I hope to burn enough calories for all that yummy turkey dinner I will be eating tomorrow. Even still I hope I can stay under my goal for the day. I'm going over way to much lately.

I'm watching my nephews today. All day. (For about 10 hours). We went to the library this morning and played and got some movies. (I got books). I took them to Tim Hortons after and we got Timbits. Pushing a stroller up hill is a lot of work! We had lunch and watched a movie. Now the youngest is down for his nap and its…

Jenny - Hope David heels quickly and isn't in to much pain. Finally feeling better and I have a voice again. Lost it for three days. Lawyer at work has a cold now and it blaming me for it. (He's joking of course. He does that a lot) There is surround sound coughing at the office right now. I find it kind of funny. Tonight…

Hi ladies. I've been battling a cold all week so I haven't done to much. I'm feeling better tonight, just tired from my long day. The cold has gone to my voice so I'm starting to loose it. One little boy tonight told me I sounded weird. Thanks a lot! :p. Tomorrow Im going to see John Stanton (Running Room) for a free talk…

Jenny - Humidity is definitely gone. Fall has arrived. Friday it was 4 degrees above freezing when I left for work. (it warmed up to 18 later in the day) Brrrr. (As the saying goes the brr months have arrived September, October, November, December) It was my reveal gift to my secret sis. She loved it! Joseph and I are…

Computer keeps crashing! My week has been work, sleep (very little) and cross-stitch..but ITS DONE!!! FINALLY!!! The below project is finally done. :) Now to get a good night's sleep tonight!

Thanks ladies!! Shirley - He's so adorable!! Jenny - I understand!! Things are slowing down at work slightly (Not next week!) and I'm finding time to go through old files that are still in the filing cabinet and find out why. I've been having some battles with banks this week to get what I need! Marla - I will be watching…

It was great! My 5k time was 31:40 and my 10k time was 1:08:08. Happy with those times. ( and the rain held off for both races!).

I did it!!! 5K time - 31:40 10k time - 1:08:08 Very happy with those times. it was forecasting rain for both race times. However, it didn't start until a good half hour after the final runner/walker finished Friday night and it stopped by the time the race started today. The sky was overcast and the ground soggy, but the…

I did keep lunch light. With the forecast not looking good I am wearing my old sneakers (that really aren't that old). I got a great new hat with my race kit and am wearing it. :). Can't wait to run. Just over 3 hours to gun time.

Jenny and Marla - I'm not sure. I've always had uncertainties with dating someone ever since my broken engagement. I think deep down I'm afraid to date as I don't want that to happen again. It's only been really in the last year that I can with a total peace about being single and am fine if I never marry. I just have a…

Joseph as down this weekend. I'm torn at how I feel right now. I thought I would be excited to see him, but I wasn't. I was actually, well, bored today. We spent the day around the city but we went to places he's never seen, but I've been to several times. We didn't really talk. I find him easy going. Almost to easy going.…

What a crazy week this has been!!! Work is starting to slowly slow down. Soon I will be able to get caught up on things I feel so far behind on! While work is starting to slow down, everything else is starting to pick up! Tonight JOY Club started for the year. (The kids program I work in) How wonderful it was to see all…

Shirley - Your grandson is so cute!! Jenny - Hope the vehicle hunt is going well. Can't say I've experienced that since I don't drive! Temperatures cooled down. Somewhat! At least it's not so humid, that definitely helps. I've spent the last couple days trying to get myself back into a normal routine. I've gotten out of it…
