I feel bad...I've been neglecting my blog!

Hey All,

I can't believe how fast this month is going! I also can't believe my last post was on the 13th!

I've been busy with work and having friends over and going to the gym...I think I'm going to start populating my Outlook calendar with reminders to update my blog hehe

WI's haven't been that great lately....I get all motivated and then *WHAM* the next day it's gone. I have been making time to go to the gym though...so that's good.

Tonight I'm heading to another Zumba class and tomorrow I'll run and go to swimming. I have Wednesday off so I'll hit up the gym after I drop Shane off at work and do my usual workout as well as the Cardio Pump class. Hopefully I can make up for the mess that was this weekend!

I'm getting frustrated because every weekend is another excuse as to why I'm over my points. Next weekend is the long weekend...we'll be with friends and there will be lots of food. The weekend after, we're having a "Wing War" where we all make wing sauce and have a contest. The weekend after that is my friends birthday (going to a dinner theatre), and the weekend after that we're probably going camping in Ottawa.....THEN we're likely going to Rochester to shop....and the weekend after that we're going to a wedding!!! Then the next weekend I'm off to Orlando.....and I was hoping to be at goal by then....see what I mean? It's just one thing after another and I'm setting myself up for failure. Any tips?

Thanks for reading...I promise to update soon!

Weigh in and weekend update!

Gooooood Morning!

Well, Friday was my weigh in! I lost 5.2 lbs!!! WOOT! I'm super excited about that loss...and though I want to lose this last 14.8 lbs before Sept 13th (trip to florida!!), I realize I likely won't have as big a week again...but that's ok! I'm well on my way to goal!

This weekend we went to my parents place in Windsor...and I didn't go crazy with food (which is an easy thing to do when I'm there). I totally stayed within my points and went for two loooong walks with Shane and the puppy :)

Tonight I'm going to swimming, and I know for sure Thursday and Friday morning I'm heading to the gym after I drop Shane off for work...and then Thursday night is hike night with the WW ladies! I can't wait to see what I can accomplish this week!

Long time, no blog!

Good morning!

I can't believe my last post was the middle of June!

I've had an unbelieveably busy last few weeks. My work just went on Work-share which means I'm supposed to be down to 3 work days a week, but part of my job is planning a trade show that is coming up next week......so 3 days a week with a plethora of deadlines just doesn't work! Even at full time I'm pulling my hair out. Needless to day, last week was horrible for eating. I gained 4 lbs at my last WI.

This week, though, I've totally stayed on plan. My friend Ashley invited me on a trip to Florida in September, so I'm re-committing myself so I don't feel uncomfortable in a bathing suit when I'm there! I really can't wait!!!!

This weekend I'm going to my parents place in Windsor...this is going to be a test of my re-committment.....they always have food readily available and at my disposal. Luckily though, they are members of a gym and we usually get out twice to work out while I'm there. Hopefully that will help!

Already today, though, I've had an NSV. A girl here at work brought in fresh (and still warm) bagels and bread for the office....I'm just keeping focussed on the trip in Sept.

Anyway, here is a few pictures from the weekend at the Corral (my home away from home)...
