It is Sunday evening and I have just spent a bit of time surfing through all your blogs, and I have picked op on a few ideas that have got me thinking….
1) self-image: how hard it is to truly see ourselves, physically and mentally, as others see us. This weekend, Loverboy looked over at me [...]

I need protein in the morning…eggs, protein drink, something like that - my body doesn’t like cereal to start the day.
Yesterday was such a b**S day at work, that when Loverboy called I blew him away with my rant. Why do men do this?
Me: and then….and then….
Him: Well, then this is what YOU do! And [...]

I did enjoy the holiday today. I lazed around all morning, then went for a hike. It was a very bright day, and a lot of snow came down yesterday so everything looked clean and fresh. I have good winter gear now so I can enjoy the outdoors (up to a limit). And man snowshoeing [...]

I did make it out to the bay with my snowshoes and was rewarded with the sight of four big deer racing across the ice. Last week I followed deer tracks through the bush trails but didn’t see anything (me, great white tracker, had no idea how old the tracks were, I was just playing). [...]

ANOTHER winter storm warning posted today. If I want to go snowshoeing, I should go soon. I am wandering around the house instead…if my energy level suddenly spikes, I will head out the door.
yay me…I have made a significant efforts to a) increase fruit and veggies intake every day b) cut back on the [...]

Another big storm is blowing through. I drove through some nasty weather this afternoon to get home. Weekend was very nice, and I seem to have broken through my ‘blues’. I think I was just very tired for a long time, and I have been feeling the effects and starting to run out of steam. [...]

I have a few minutes before my next meeting. My plan is to take off to the gym immediately after, then go home, pack, and take off for the weekend. I have already clocked well over 50 hours this week so I am not going to feel guilty about leaving early at all. Usually I [...]

Had a very busy day today at work, and fell into the ‘habit eating’ treats. I snacked because I wanted to walk around, not because I was hungry. Down to the candy machine, across to the caf…that kind of thing. Not stupefyingly out of control - just mindless. Now I am bloated and ready to [...]

I am alone! I am alone in my house, with MY music playing, no TV, and MY curry stew bubbling on the stove. Having Son #1 here has been a big adjustment and yes, I love him and I am glad he is here for many reasons…but I like being alone! 24/7 sports is [...]

Yay me. 60 minutes of snowshoeing - a 33 minute interval training walk/run and then a power walk back to the car. Damn weight ticker BETTER go down after a couple of weeks of this! (Also it is fun.)
I am trying to keep the carbs at 30% of total. A little too much bread today [...]
