The past week

Ok so unlike what Heather keeps trying to elude to, I am still doing the daily workout challenge and I am still doing my meal challenge. I have just run out of time...and I found a new book.

Books can absolutely suck all my life away into the present world of the book and all else around me vanishes.

What is this book that I was reading? Still Alice is a book about a women who has early - onset Alzheimer's and the impact of her family. Roslyn lent it to me and I read it this weekend front to back.



Second book I read this week was The Tipping Point. Fabulous read about how thinks like how one person can create a fashion, how one person sick can create an epidemic. Really interesting; if you have time...read.



The next bok I am reading is...

I will let you know how it is.

So Workout challenge:

Still doing the Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout....this is kicking my ass but also I am doing my yoga everyday and I have to be honest in that I totally feel a change in my muscles. I am not shedding the weight that I want but as Roslyn continually tells me "every pound I lose is a pound lost forever" instead of the diets when it comes and goes regularly. STILL THOUGH, I want to lose them FASTER!!!!!

So Food Challenge:
I did great every night except for Friday because Friday has always been "No Cook Fridays" in my household and I didn't plan on changing that for this challenge.
I didn't get to take pictures everyday as I originally wanted to because Owen has decided that very second I walk into the kitchen...I MUST carry him!!! When did clingy child appear?

Other updates...Jon has a blog...yup it is EPIC... http://www.thefunsilymonkey.blogspot.com/ Go check it out and please comment on it as he checks everyday for people commenting.



This is going to be a great week. I am going to a spa night at Heather's!! I am sooo excited for a grown up girl night...and a cake from the amazing Michelle. Also, we are having a scrapbooking day at work on Saturday. It is going to be so much fun. I think I am going to work on my honeymoon pictures. I am so far behind.

I have started working on my mom's birthday present and I think she will love this so much.

Okay -- number one, I wasn't eluding that you weren't exercising...just that you weren't posting. (am I safe now??)

Also -- Book posts...we totally have to do this (especially this summer, because then I'll have the time to read something other than a text book) Oh, how I miss the days of reading for pleasure.

And -- SPA PARTY -- This wonderful cake making Michelle MUST come -- and anyone else too. It's open (to women, no children under 6 months)...come on in and have fun!

Hi I'm Heather's 'friend' (we've never met in real life) who started the Food Challenge on my blog so I'll add you for a chance to win the cookbook since you did participate.

I read the Glass Castle and I loved it!

Ok so the summer has come and gone and I have really neglected my blog. The summer held lots of fun times and we went on an amazing summer holiday with Braden and Jon. Owen stayed home this time. We went on a road trip to Las Vegas, Coronado Bay, San Diego, Los Angeles, Anaheim. We had so much fun. A few weekends ago we went to Jurassic Forest . This place was very neat. All three kids loved it. It is set up so that you can walk around on these nicely built walkways careful not to disturb the forest that they have the dinosaurs built in. They are motion sensored and my favourite part was when Owen would patiently wait for the dinosaur to move. His pose made me giggle each time. I can't believe that there is only 2 weeks left in the summer break before school starts. Braden and Jon both start grade 3. I can't believe that these boys are growing so fast. We also spent a day at the beach. It is Alberta Beach and not as great as Allan Beach but a Beach is a Beach in my opin

Swimming and Pay Per View

So Jon has started swimming classes and they are going great...I have a bit of an issue though because he is a boy and I am a girl so I can not take him into my changing room. It is very stressful to wait out of the room and waiting for him. So the first time, Boris went with him and showed him how to work the locker and where to go. Tuesday, when we went it was just him and I, so I gave him 50 cents and went to meet him at the pool. It was only a few minutes and he happily met me at the swimming pool and handed me his towel and key. PERFECT. Class was over and so he went to the change room and I went to wait in the foyer. 15 minutes later and still no Jonathan. Luckily Susan from work was there with her two children and she sent her son to check on Jonny. He said Jon was fine and they left...another 10 minutes later, Jon came out stating: "DAMM Lockers". HAHAHA, apparently he didn't clue in that when you put the key back in...it doesn't give you your money back. Oh p

Post just for Darcy

Dearest Darcy, This post is for you!!! OK so after 2 weeks of slacking off (I have 100 excuses and they are all reality to me but enough is enough) I have to get back on the wagon! I started all over! I couldn't in good conscience just pick up where I left off so I started my Biggest Loser Last Chance workout again. Week one, day one. I seem ok. My heart rate is pounding but I made it through and while I am feeling like it was a hard workout...I didn't vomit and I wore proper bolder holders. I love my yoga and try to do it as often as I can. It has helped me in so many ways. I find that when provoked, I am able to just let it slide and when I know I am right...I can walk away knowing that without pushing. It has helped my self esteem, it is helping me tone, it is helping me recognize when my body is stressed and how to correct it...and there is so much more that I can't even begin to express it. Our pedometer challenge at work has also made me realize the activity that I d
