Had a great weekend but I have got to get back on track starting today. I think I did pretty good for the past couple of days except for the b-day cake. Tomorrow I head back to the gym so that should help and I can't wait to start working with the personal trainer. I need to firm up my 'wings' lol.
Today I am heading over to my sisters to help them close up all their outdoor stuff for the winter. They helped me last weekend so I need to give back :)

Yesterday was a great day
Had a great time last night. My sister and brother-in-law took me out for my b-day and surprised me by also inviting 2 friends. We had a great time. The restaurant was good and the idea is very different. Of course the 11pm dessert topped it all off LOL. Sugar overload!!! Oh well, you only have a b-day once a year. Thanks to you guys - you know who you are. It made a good day end on a very high note.
Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving. More food, more drink. I will need to really concentrate on my workouts this coming week. I will try to convince my sister to take a walk after dinner. It might be a staggered walk LOL but we should still try to get out there for at least 30min. We shall see.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Day off was a success and so was weigh in today
My day off was productive. Got my blood work done and made my doctor's appointment. I hope this appointment shows improvement in all areas.
I went to Walmart found a couple of things there and ended up at Additionelle. Value Village didn't have very much - they are more geared to halloween at the moment. Oh well. I am very happy to say that my next shopping spree will put me in the 'teens'. I couldn't believe it. I've gone down 3 sizes - incredible. It's weird though because I don't see it. I do feel it but when I look in the mirror I still see the same person. Not sure if this will ever change.
I also broke down and joined the gym. I couldn't see myself out in the cold and snow as I'm sure those of you who know me also don't see me out there. I tend to hibernate in the winter. Tuesday I will go to have an orientation and hopefully my personal trainer will also contact me to make appointments with her. I am actually looking forward to it. I just HOPE that I don't give up like I usually do.
Today is my b-day and I have hit the big 45 - ouch. I have to say that I don't feel it, well maybe sometimes LOL. I am looking forward to a better year personally and health wise. I am also proud to say that I got my 3lbs this morning - 3.5lbs to be exact. WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO. I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale. I actually am proud of myself. Now let's hope tonight's dinner out and tomorrow's turkey doesn't put it all back hehehehe.

Day off today - what to do, what to do.....
I can't believe I actually slept in this morning. Feels great!!! It's poring rain and I am off today. I should really go out and buy some clothes because I gave a whole bunch to my sister, what I kept is still a little too big but I don't think I can go out in public in a bra and underwear...well at least not until I have the body to do so LOL.
A co-worker suggested trying a 2nd hand store so I don't spend a lot on clothes that aren't going to fit. I think I might give that a shot. However, being the primadona that I am, those places scare me sometimes. I could drive over to the US and head to Fashion Bug but don't really want to do that on my own. I need a shopping buddy for that. There's always good ol Walmart.
I guess I've just decided what I'm doing. Blogging helps hehehehehe.

Extra long weekend is here - yippeee
I am very excited to have taken tomorrow off work and not having to go back until Tuesday due to Thanksgiving. Not sure what the plans are for the weekend as I have a feeling what was originally planned is going to change. We shall see.
Today was going good until I kept getting text messages from a certain person who ended up ruining my day. Man I wish this would just end all ready or at least stop contacting me. Oh well, time will only tell when this will be over and I can move on with my life without having others f*** it up for me behind my back. Not sure how I'm going to approach this so I might as well just keep quiet :(
Enough sappy talk...Tonight is my off night for exercise. Especially since last night nearly killed me. My legs throbbed all night long until about noon today. I guess I over did it. But like I said, I really want 3lbs this week so fingers crossed (and maybe some toes).

Today's exercise nearly killed me LOL
Well I went out for my walk/run (I call it that because let's face it I can't run it all yet). Everything was going good. Ran the first 2 sections right through to the 60sec mark...and let me tell ya I think they've made 60sec longer than it used to be hehehehe. When the 3rd one comes along, I think no problem even though I haven't caught my breath yet from the last one which was 90sec ago. Of course I didn't make it through that 3rd one, walked through the 4th one. I then figure I need to try the 5th section - nope..didn't happen. So I ended up walking through the rest. But I managed to walk/run 5k which is awesome.
As I'm walking along thinking where the hell is my house and why is it so far away :) I hear someone walking like they have Frankenstein boots on. Thump Thump Thump....so I look around to see who is there and am thinking "dude, pick up your feet". Well there is no one around....it's me who is walking like Frankie. Those 22lbs I've lost have all come back and planted themselves in my legs LMAO. They weighed a ton. It took everything to get me up my front steps.
Oh well, I am still happy I went out even though it's bloody cold and windy. I think I need to buy some earmuffs or join a gym where it's nice and toasty warm.

Hmmmm..... Blogging
I first wanted to thank everyone for the encouragement you've sent through out the 6 weeks of 'knowing' each other. I was a little apprehensive about this blogging stuff but am starting to like it. I enjoy encouraging everyone and also knowing I'm not the only one out there going thru all this stuff.
As some of you may know, this month I am collecting money for the Canadian Cancer Society and can't believe I have almost $700 in pledges. Between Tom (co-worker) and I we have collected just shy of $1000. Our goal is to hit $2000 before Oct 30th and it looks like we might just make it. The other part of our challenge is the running race in the parking lot at work....should be an interesting run. We would really like to make it fun by dressing up in sumo wrestler outfits so I am on the hunt to find these. Should make for a fun YouTube video.
Anyways, enough blogging for tonight. I must get out and train so I can beat Tom across the finish line.
