I am so tired. This week has been draining and it's not over yet. Tuesday night I was out late with rehearsal and then getting groceries and again last night with church. When I got home I realized I there was no way I could go to bed until I cleaned. My apartment was starting to look like a war zone. By the time I was…

Being consistent in getting to the gym and run a 10k

My weekend was to busy. To busy to the point I apparently forgot to log one day! I thought I had logged part of it, but apparently I didn't. My daily count has been reset. :( Oh well. I know I've actually been doing it longer! How I am enjoying the beauty of the Christmas season. Just wish I could have a Christmas where I…

Hope you feel better soon Jenny! So tonight I had a free personal assessment at the gym. Benefit was that she corrected me on how I do my squats! After she sat down with me and worked out a program she wants to do with me. Um considering I don't have $5,000.00 to spare, I won't be doing it!!!! I guess I will just have to…

It finally happened! I got a raise!!! So happy! The extra income is going to be great! My CT scan was today. It actually went really well. I arrived at the hospital at 12:05. I left at 12:40. My appointment was for 1:00. That's not normal!! I was prepared to wait a long time! I spent longer waiting for buses and getting…

I'm sitting here at work with my gym bag by my feet. I just joined over the weekend. (No more excuses as to why I am not running due to darkness and cold weather!). I am going straight there after work. I told myself to do that yesterday but I did NOT take my bag to work. When I got home later (worked some OT yesterday) I…

Was I in for a surprise when I stepped on the scales this morning! The numbers went down!! :o Considering I haven't been accurately logging, going over my calories and not working out, I wasn't expecting that! I also found myself today singing up for a membership at Good Life Fitness, one that I can afford! I just need to…

One month from today is Christmas! Yikes! I have no gifts yet! Really need to get some shopping done! Yesterday I started my Christmas decorating! I put up my tree yesterday and my candles in my window. It feels like it's been so long since I was able to do either, especially the tree! It's a smaller 5 foot tree, but it's…

Anything chocolate. Mmmm chocolate.

It's not Thanksgiving here in Canada, but my sister-in-law is American, so they do two Thanksgiving dinners every year. Thursday is the day of my oldest nephew's birthday party. Since I have to go straight there after work to be there in time for the party, she is saving me a plate from their dinner. I'm not going to worry…

When I lived in a 2nd floor apartment, I would try to do it, no later then 9pm. I wouldn't do it after that as I knew I was probably making noise. I never had complaints against me though. (To this day I am convinced the person above me had a herd of elephants and a bowling alley up there as that's what it sounded like!)…

Tonight we had a surprise party for Lawyer K's 50th birthday. He knew something was up, but not to the capacity of what we did!!!! We attempted a balloon drop when he walked in, but it didn't work! He was very surprised which was great. He didn't expect that many people there or that much food! There was a lot of people…

Mizpaden - I understand about the professional pictures!!! We had them done for our office website. They had me get mine done, even though they might not use it. My last (and only actually) professional picture, was my high school graduation pictures back in 1997! (They they were actually taken in the fall of 1996). It…

What a busy morning it has been! I've attacked the stuff on my desk and got a lot done. Hope I can get the flow of getting work done this afternoon. I always seem to loose my drive in the afternoon. I had a nice relaxing weekend. Saw my first snow of the season. It was sticking early in the day on Friday where I live, but…

I got annoyed at when it kept telling me I was going over my sugar all the time, so I simply removed it from showing up.

Mizpaden - I have had pumpkin muffins and cookies thanks to my former roommate. Other then, I just want to experiment! This morning I went to the local cenotaph for the Remembrance Day service. I thought I had picked the perfect spot. Then the veterans, RCMP, cadets and a bunch of others paraded in and lined up right in…

July on my vacation

Mmmm. Fudge. So yummy!!! I picked myself up some yesterday at the craft fair I went. I was so excited to go but when I got there I hated it. I just wanted to find what I was looking for and get out. It was so crowded!!! You were literally elbow to elbow almost all the time. Especially going down the main aisles. It was…

Shirley - Hugs to you. My prayers are with you. I did it!!!!!! I worked out tonight! Forget feeling it in the morning, I"m feeling it now! :p So happy with myself that I did it. Still over on my calories though. Ate one to many candies at work and those pop tarts I had for lunch are to high in calories!

I did NOT see what was falling outside!!!! :( Just thankful the ground isn't cold enough for it to stay!! So I resolved not to eat any more candies. Then lawyer brings in left over Halloween candy. Really yummy left out Halloween candy......Well at least there was no chocolates among them! Jenny - Glad to hear your kneed…

J - No I'm not. Not right now. :( All I have for running is shorts. To cold for shorts!! Hope to get some pants in the next couple of weeks and I will get back at it. I will need to change my running route to stay on main roads as it's dark by 7 now. Well I still hadn't heard a thing about the CT scan I was supposed to get…

What a great day today! :) I so love working and teaching the children in my church. This month I've had my Sunday School class (Grades 4-6) and also Junior Church (Ages 4-5). I so enjoy watching them learn. Also at church my friend who hasn't been out in so long was out for both services. It was so great to see him! He…

I think it would great to get together and meet with you ladies, but I don't drink. Shirley - Still raining today! It's not right now, but another 10-15 was expected today. Sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. Hope it does! So happy with my find last night!!! I went to a used clothing place. For the last couple of years I…

Didn't get that much rain yesterday where I am. Some areas though got between 50-77mm yesterday. It's been raining pretty steady today. If it doesn't let up by 5 (and I doubt it will), I will be waiting IN the office as long as possible before going to my bus stop. There is no bus shelter there! Last night's new was tragic…

If you don't hear from me for awhile, I might have floated away. We have 70+mm of rain on the way over the next three days (that's over 3 inches). One place I looked at said 150mm! (that's closer to 6 inches). I do have to agree with one friend though, at least it's not snow!!!

Congrats Amy!!! I'm sure the soreness well worth having completed the run! Ugh. The temperature forgot a few numbers today. After over a week of having unseasonably high temperatures (to the point where I was outside in the middle of October in short sleeves. Something that never usually happens), they were back down to…

My weekend with my nephews is over. They were so good for me! I'm very glad it went well. I treated myself to a mani and pedi tonight (done by me) for a weekend that went well. The Missions Conference has also ended. It's always so heartbreaking to see it come to an end. It's always such an encouragement and blessing to…
