Just getting ready to head out with the dog. Weekend hiking options are limited until the snow disappears, but yesterday I found that for some reason the roads are ploughed through the campground I often walk through. They must be taking out some trees or working on the buildings. It was deserted, but I [...]

It is sunny and not too cold ( still -3C though) and I am going to pack up the dog and head out for a snowshoe hike. I WISH I could say it is likely the last one of the season but I doubt it. However, the snowbanks have lost about 2 feet of height [...]

Stumbled around the neighbourhood last night - the sidewalks are again very slippery which makes it quite treacherous. I like to exercise outside, so this is quite discouraging for me. I keep trying to make myself go to the gym but, truthfully, I am just not interested right now. There have been times in my [...]

Have been visiting Loverboy this weekend. I am halfway to James Bay and it is still very cold here. I am flying home this afternoon into what sounds like another ’severe winter storm watch.’ I really really need a tropical beach experience.
Still feeling pretty good, did have a carb blow out last night (lasagna AND [...]

Day 3 of my own version of low-carb, which is: aim for very little or no flour, sugar, rice, potatoes or pasta. Only 100% whole wheat grains, and only one serving of those. Moderate fruits ok, (which means one fruit smoothie every couple of days) veggies ok, meat, eggs, cheese, ok. Don’t count calories, but [...]

Day 2 of the Low Carb (atkins-type) routine. The first thing I notice is hunger - real hunger, when I am hungry. Not that ‘oh I could nibble’ feeling, or that ‘ I still have 500 cals left for the day - what can I have?’ feeling.
I know I feel so much better overall [...]

Work week started out SO BAd but ended with a pretty good day. Today I felt: pretty, smart, cool, and was able to keep the blind panic about my inability to handle my workload at bay. Also my employer agreed yesterday that I can hire one more person to help, and that will make a [...]

I was pretty happy to see (according to my nike ipod thingy) that I made it around the neighbourhood at a 6km/hour pace. I am not sure I ENTIRELY believe it but I will take the win!

I am starting to worry a bit. Since I started logging food and exercise, and paying attention to calorie intake, I have gained 14 lbs. That’s one year, folks. This is the puzzling thing to me: if I were to rely on the calculations done by this program, I should have been losing, consistently, 1.37 [...]
