After work today I went to Michaels. Their custom framing is 55% off plus an additional 20% off for their Modern Day Design frames. I've been waiting for a sale like that! (Probably missed several but I finally caught this one!) I made each of my nephews cross-stitch birth announcements when they were born. The oldest has…

I am having the hardest time getting myself out of bed in the morning to do a workout. By the time I get home from work and have supper, and wait a sufficient time between eating and doing a workout, there isn't really time left to do the workout before I need to be getting to bed. Part of it I guess, on days I need to be…

If you go to the Fitness Blender website, they give you a rough idea there of what you are burning. It's an estimate, as it will vary person to person.

I only recently could afford a gym membership thanks to a raise at work, before that I couldn't afford it either and I still was able to work out at home. Check out Youtube. There are several videos there you can use to guide you in a workout. Most you don't even need any equipment whatsoever. There is a also a website…

Marla - I was a teacher for 3 years. I would always tell the parents between report cards if their child's grades were going down. Now grant it I taught 1st grade and test packets went home weekly, but even if I taught higher grades, would still let them know! Jenny - I lived in Florida for 7 years. (Four years in college…

Speed does comes much later! When I first ran a full 5K it was around the 34min mark. My average after that was 32min. On the day I ran my first 5K I did it in 29:44. Still can't believe I went below the 30 minute mark!!!!!!

I didn't repeat when I did. I just kept going on. Then again, I did it in late spring into summer. I didn't have to deal with the freezing cold. (And I currently run on a treadmill in the gym) There were days in the week that were better then others, but I kept my eyes on the goal. (I ran a 5K in Sept) and kept on going.

L - I don't protect my eyes. Not normally. The last few days I've had to wear my glasses. Grrrrrr :( But I tore my last contact and haven't had the funds to order new ones yet. Next week I can, but that's not soon enough!!! Not really a way to protect them unless you wear ski glasses. I saw a girl on the coldest day this…

I tend to dress modestly at the gym. It does make it a little hard to find things that I can wear and feel comfortable in. I've found on store that on occasion I do find things. (Though I am still looking for a tank top that is not low cut or skimpy straps that I can wear in the summer when running.) I am probably one of…

-21C (-8.5F) with the windchill here in the HRM in Nova Scotia. That's actually about 8 degrees higher then it was a couple days ago.

Jenny - Hope your headache goes away. I LOVE Clementines! I'm eating my second one of the day right now. Shirley - Hope things go well for your cousin. It's a few degrees warmer today, but not much! It's still frigid out. I"m ready to pack my bags and move to some place warmer! I've decided that since my sinuses are acting…

This morning it was -26C with the wind chill. That's -14.5F. It was COLD!!!! I wore several layers into work. About the only part of my skin that was exposed to the air was my forehead as my hat didn't come down that far!

I braved the snow this morning and went to the gym!!! I guess I was the only brave/determined lady (or the only one crazy enough to go in the snow at 6:00 am) as I was the ONLY one in the ladies gym!!! I spotted one person in the main area gym, although there might have been 2 out there. I prefer the quietness and the…

Woke up this morning completely filled up and feeling rotten. I made my bad and took a shower and felt like I had worked out for an hour. I was supposed to watch my nephews today so my brother and sister-in-law could go to a friends (sans kids because of their dog). I had to call them and tell them I couldn't make it and I…

Jenny - I would LOVE a hobby/craft room! I'm jealous of people that have the space to do that! Happy New Year!! May 2015 bring lower scales and healthier diets for all of us!

I used my Christmas cash to register for Maritime Race Weekend. I'm going to do the Tartan Twosome. A 5k Friday night and a 10k Saturday morning. (In Sept)

Mizpaden - Sadly I wasn't wasn't able to. :( We have to much work to do. While I agree with him on that, having 1.5 day off and then going back for ONE DAY before the weekend is going to stink big time. So I weighed myself this morning. Sigh. Wish I hadn't. I knew I needed to and I figured what the scales would say. It's…

Been feeling much better the last two days. The cough is persistent, but I feel better then what I was. I ended up sleeping 12 hours Thursday night and another 12 hours Friday night. (That's after falling asleep for an hour in my armchair) I had a nice day at church today. It feel like forever since I sat through a church…

Merry Christmas ladies!!! I trust you all had a wonderful day with your families and friends. Having a cold for Christmas isn't the best gift. I tried to tell Santa to take it back but he didn't. Right now it's only 8pm, but I am tired, feel drained from the day and the cold and just want to go to bed. I went to my parents…

Yuck chocolate chip cookies

Last night I was doing some Christmas baking. I made Chocolate Chip Caramel Surprise. (It's basically a chocolate chip cookie recipe with a caramel piece wrapped in it and then I used mint chocolate chips) I think I ate 6 of them. :p After all you MUST test your baking as it comes out of the oven to make sure it's safe to…

I can't say I would never eat fast food again. I just need to be careful of what I choose when I go. I can say I will NEVER eat MacDonalds again. Didn't agree with me last two times I ate there.

My plan is to not worry about calories that day. It's Christmas. I am going to enjoy the time with my family. (and try to stay dry. The forecast right now says it will be 11 degrees above freezing and 50+mm of RAIN! No white Christmas for me! :'( )

My gifts are FINALLY all wrapped. After finishing my shopping on Thursday night. I am so glad to finally be done! The only thing left to do is some baking. I am mostly do it to give as gifts to people. I'd post pictures of my dinner, but I don't want to torture you all. I still think about how yummy it was! My knee is…

oh my dinner last night was soooooooooooooooooooooo good! I had the most delicious tasty Parmesan chicken with fresh mozeralla and fettuccine all'Afredo. For dessert I had a White Chocolate Roulade, vanilla and pistachio sponge cake rolled with raspberry jam, white chocolate Mascarpone mousse, fresh raspberries, and…

Marla - It's over! Jenny - They just came to support me and see me in it. None of them go to church. Tonight is the work Christmas party. I made sure to get to the gym this morning to burn extra calories I can still hopefully stay under my calorie goal today. We will see. When I was running this morning I started to feel…

Best: The reason WHY we have CHRISTmas Worse: How materialistic Christmas has became

And it's over! Tonight's turn out was so much larger then last night's performance! I didn't forget any of my lines tonight, but one of the kids did. I had to quietly prompt him to remind him of the correct line. Best part was that Lawyer K and Lawyer E came out! So happy that they did. After I got handed a gift and they…

First performance of the cantata went well. Only forgot one line! I think the worse part was the butterflies in my stomach gave me heartburn! So not fun to have when trying to perform! One more performance to go tomorrow night. I hope more people are out tomorrow. There wasn't that many out there tonight. Now I need to get…
