I made it home, after a slightly disjointed flight. All my fault, but the trip home took several more hours than it should have. This is just such a wide country.
Now I can’t sleep. This is going to be such a demanding week. I will be a wreck.
Son #1 was a great pet minder while [...]

So, I admit I blew the no sugar/no alcohol thing but I don’t care, I had a perfect day today. I walked for about 5 hours - 90 minutes of serious walking through Stanley Park, then the rest of the day meandering through the city. This is how I used to spend my weekends, when [...]

Sushi for dinner. Being away from the office at this time is very bad, but boy did I need this change of scenery. And hey, so what if I don’t answer emails for 24 hours. As my old boss at the ngo aid agency used to say, ‘did anyone die? No? then it is a [...]

Allow me a moment to pat myself on the back…the nike ipod thingy tells me I have walked a grand total of 67.96 km since March 2nd.  March’s total: 35.59 km (average pace 11:25 per km); April so far: 32.36km at an average pace of 10:53 per km.  Hot dang.  That makes me feel very [...]

I spent the weekend with Loverboy at the “1/2way hotel” - this little place we found that is between here and his new town.  It’s a nice place with a series of little log cabins…private and cozy. It’s been four weeks since I flew to visit him - this is probably going to be the [...]

Thinking like a healthy shrinking person, I have been coming home for lunch this week and packing an afternoon snack to get me through. This is important because, especially when trying to stay lo-carb, I hit a 4pm crash that, in the past, has driven me straight to chocolate covered peanuts or a cookie.  If [...]

I had a total airhead weekend. I had to go to the big city on business, and took advantage of the timing to have a weekend visit with sister and friends. Over Sat and Sun, I managed to leave business folders at one house (creating a mad dash around town on the way to [...]

Spent the weekend away visiting sister and friends. My sister has lost about 100 lbs over the last 2 years, and is now an extremely active, much happier person. I am envious and proud of her at the same time.  We went shopping and I found out she wears 2 sizes smaller than me. Now, [...]

It’s a girl night - doing my hair, doing my nails.  I am really exhausted due to working 10-12 days, and a touch of insomnia so I am planning an early bed. Also may be getting a cold. In general - it is just a yucky evening. However - very strict on the low carb [...]
