The sunshine here is wonderful also but the wind that may blow me and the kids away keep me in the house. lol

I was a bit surprised by the cool breeze. Shoulda had another layer on.

Ah . . . Spring in Atlantic Canada . . . what a joy . . . you may have heard, we are in the middle of a blizzard . . . yes you read that right . . . BLIZZARD. :mad: All the schools and a lot of businesses are closed through the county. although we are only supposed to be getting 4 to 6 inches of snow, the 60 km/hr winds are really doing a horrible job on everything. OMG, I hope this is the last storm of the season. :^: Although we usually get a nasty in early April just after the Cormorants return . . . I think the stupid things use the calendar; rather than any kind of natural instinct because it happens every year. :dizzy:

Other than that, nothing going on around here . . . since I still haven't gotten out to get the new cable for the DVD player, guess I'll have to resort to laundry or housework to keep myself occupied . . . hey, at least we still have power . . . hope I haven't jinxed it now . . . :eek:

Anyway, gang . . . keep things moving and shaking out there . . . see you again soon . . . :carrot:

Meowee -- Sorry to hear about your weather, but sure am glad we don't have it here... WHEW!

I'm so tired, we took DD and some friends to Taste of Chaos concert in Ottawa last night and we didn't get to bed till 2am and we were up at 6am...

Food has been good today, surprisingly, but no exercise, tomorrow's another day, so there!

I'm still alive

Another gorgeous, sunny day in Southwestern Ontario - and I am definitely going out today to walk that dog of mine!! He sure let me know he wasn't happy not getting out yesterday, and to be honest, the guilt I feel when he looks so let down is even worse than any guilt I ever felt for over-eating! :)

I have a busy weekend ahead, so the plan is to sort out all my meal-planning and spend some 'me' time today - including a long doggie walk! - so there is no chance of poor choices over the weekend.

Met my first mini-goal today, and the sun is shining, and all is good with the world - well, MY world, at least! :D

Have a great day, everybody!

Heather

Oh Joy . . . the sun is shining and the wind is relatively calm :cool: It is still cold, but guess you can't get everything at once. ;) There is more snow in the forecast for the next few days, but maybe we'll be lucky and it will never materialize. :^:

Got to get out and get some errands run while the weather is good. The heap at the top of my driveway is high enough to actually challenge my 4-wheel drive, but I'm pretty sure I can make it . . . refuse to shovel at this time of year. :p

Hope everybody has a great moving and shaking day of great fun stuff. See you later . . . :carrot:

who here exercises at home or gym or what do you do?

i'm taking a tour of a gym today - $44 per month - is it worth it- it is state of the art - i'm hoping for goodlooking nice men that will motivate me - i have 100 lbs to lose and need LOTS OF MOTIVATION - eye candy helps!!!

New revived spirit in me - fearing another swimsuite figure in the 200-range and fearing wearing dark wintry clothes all summer and sweating to death - has put the finaly touches on my urge to lose it all for spring - scratch that make it - summer (june 21)

Family wedding on September 15 - another goal. And between March 27 and October 23rd I have 6 months with no children's birthdays to orchestrate, no christmas no major famiily parties to worry about at - now is the season of 'me' - any encouraging words before I join yet another gym - words of wisdom that help me not to look back at my stopped adventures but to look forward to the future - first goal is to get under 220 and then 200.
Want to be under 220 by May 13th and if i give it my all - i definitely can do it.

Mehappy - I love that name!!
Signing up for a gym is a hard decision. Yes...eye candy always helps. LOL
One of the things I always think is important is the amount of travel time between your home and gym. If I can bike there then I don't have to put as much time into the cardio machines.
I go to the Y because it supports the community so much. With the shelter and the programs and the united way. That way if I miss a couple of times at least I know the money is being used for good stuff and not just some guy riding around the city in his fancypants car sneering at me. Ok I have issues. But It also has so many programs and the pool and all that. I think with the plan I'm on it works out to 28.00/month, but that is on a three year plan.
Anyways just a thought for ya!!
Have a great day!
Tammy

My sister may actually be gettign married this year she keeps going back and forth buit today (again) she said Dec. or maybe last week of nivember. Now thought I amy not fit my dress I went by the size charts on the website and i should just fit it:crossed: she also has a friend that is delivering in October but she is eating right andis losing weight now and gaining baby so hopefully she will fit hers. My sis bought this dress but if I need a new one I will be buying that plus I need to buy 3 dresses for my girls and a suit for my son. MAn all the drama.:dizzy:

Hi Guys! Just thought I'd pop in here and say hello. I'm 'from' the southern U.S. and have literally just moved to Canada. Still get picked on for the accent and everything ;) I live in Oakville, SE of Toronto, I think. Doing the whole landed immigrant thing and all PLUS weight loss! Right now I've got a prescription for diet pills that I received from the U.S. I'm calorie counting, staying at or below 1500 a day, using free weights and doing 40 minutes of cardio daily. In 33 days I've lost 11lbs!

Hoping to lose 5 more this month! We'll see, have to check out the food in Canada, and my brand new hubby is an eater, lol.

Glad to meet yall!

Welcome Amybear!
 

Glad you've made the move NORTH :D

Oakville is lovely - you'll be very happy there I am sure. (South West of Toronto, though - LOL!)

Happy to have you with us!

Heather ;)

I enjoyed each break in the lovely outdoors today. The sunshine (even the cool breeze) was invigorating.

Good Morning . . . well, it isn't looking as 'good' as yesterday, but not too bad . . . overcast and a few flurries . . . but nothing compared to Thursday.

Welcome to the group AMYBEAR. You are a Canuk NOW and that's all that matters around here. :hug:

I finally got the DVD player working with the new TV so the 'Frog' and I are back together . . . he tends to be my best form of exercise (along with Buddy Ball, of course) . . . although I have been toying with the idea of joining Curves(it is the only form of 'gym' that is relatively close to home). My SIL will be visiting me from Ontario this summer and she is a member and will want to go so I might wait until then (since I've got all this annoying surgery lined up in the meantime).

I pulled another "senior-moment" at the store yesterday :o . . . decided to buy the new Dove Pro-Age Shampoo and Conditioner . . . got them home and said to myself . . . "Wow, these two bottles are identical, maybe I should put a sticker on one of them" . . . well, of course, they are both Shampoo . . . so now I can go back to the store for the Conditioner. Hey, don't know about the rest of you but I always use the shampoo up much faster than the conditioner anyway . . . Guess I was just planning ahead - right? :dizzy: - RIGHT????

Anyway, I'd better get "hopping" since I do want to get to the store before the Saturday crowds hit . . . hope everybody has a great moving and shaking kind of day planned . . . see you soon . . . :carrot:

Happy Saturday Canucks!!

Meowee!! - That is so funny!! I have similar moments all the time. You know the ones where if you'd just stopped and taken a look - like biking halfway across the city last spring thinking I was so sporty and cool until I ran into my friend downtown and I realized I was wearing my bike helmet backwards the whole time. :rofl:

Anyways this weekend is a soccer tournament I'm in. We lost last night, but it was a lot of sweating that otherwise would have been spent sitting in a lounge drinking wine, eating nachos and philosphizing about the world, so I guess it was okay!

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!!
Tam
