Day 6 - undecided

Tuesday August 31 has been a long day.

My feet hurt, my eyes hurt and well most of my body hurts from working out these past days.

Today i did not get the chance to do my work out. Got up at 9am with intentions of going to Colin's eye appointment with him and then to grey hound to pick up the new starter for the car. Sounds all good so far right well once we get to grey hound at the airport now, they can't find the package, they say it must be on the next bus it should be here by 12 30. Then we tell them that it was dropped off at the Brandon bus depot last night at 9pm and it should be here. They continue to say next bus. so we decide its off to look at eye glasses for Colin. WE went every where from polo park area to st.vital. All though we have 2 pairs picked out he's not sold yet. He wants to make sure he loves them. So my eye glass shopping still isn't over and it will continue tomorrow. I've been told we are heading downtown tomorrow. Shopping isn't as fun when your not buying for your self. So its not 5pm and back to the airport. Once again its not there, the next bus will be here in 30 Min's. So now I'm sore tired and getting mad.  Finally at 530 they say it still hasn't arrived and we don't have a system to say if its been shipped or not. Finally someone else over hears what the box looks like and goes looking for it. Apparently the Bill came off of the box and was put to the side. IT was there all day. Our # was even on the box to call us when it got there. was so mad.

The only good part of today was.....

We have our final deal on the Bar. Hopefully within the next week or two or month at the latest we will be in and doing Reno's. So much to plan and buy. Halloween will be awesome this year.

Can't wait to be back working and working for our self's.

After a late supper with Colin's parents. I'm finally home and ready to have a warm bath and read. Looks like tomorrow i will have to make up for my non exercise day. Oh but i did buy a blue resistance band. It was time to move up to a hard band. I've been looking every where and couldn't find any. Finally today i found some at Winners, they have a new workout section in there stores now.

Well wish me luck with shopping with the husband tomorrow.  I told him by the end of tomorrow he has to pick. No more shopping after that. lol

Hope everyone had a great day. chat later

PS look what i found all u vodka drinkers http://www.stoli.com/  flavored vodka gonna have to start looking in the LC's

Day 5 - Feeling the pain

A start to a new week besides the rain it hasn't been a bad day. I wasn't as sore as yesterday. But i still started the day off with a bath to soak my muscles before starting to exercise.So it was time to pop in the Chest & back CD. A full 53 min work out. I have to say i still can't do Dive-Bomber push ups or or the Declined push-ups. Hopefully in the coming weeks that will change. I've keep my old work out sheets from the last time i started this and the good thing is that I'm lifting about the same weight as when i stopped. Except I've gotten bought a couple more weights, so i don't have to do as many reps. I wanna build muscle instead of toning.  Today i basically used the 7lb and 15lbs along with the plastic bands cause i don't own a chin up bar. And Monday's also consist of the Ab Ripper CD. Today i could feel every exercise on the CD. i had to take more breaks then normal, but i did complete the CD.

Tonight i also decided to turn on the wii. I played wii fit for 35 Min's. I did the free step for 20 Min's and did 2409 steps.

Food wasn't the best of choices today egg omelet with pepper and toast for breakfast. Supper was hot wings. my snack  for the evening was yogurt with granola and fruit. We also went shopping tonight in the rain so my food choices for the next week should be better.

I also decided that i was setting a goal. To loose 5 lbs by October 30th.

Day 4 - A Lazy Sunday

Today wasn't a very productive day. I did manage to get up and do my Stretch X CD from P90X. considering how sore i am, i thought something to help make me less tight would be good. Stretch X isn't one of my favorite Cd's to do. I find it kinda slow. I enjoy more of the up beat Cd's, but it helps with flexibility so why not. I felt great after the work out nice and warm and ready to do stuff but what do i decided to do instead, climb back into bed under the warm blankets. Who could resist not climbing back into bed with the dogs cuddling you. Really the rest of the day was history. watched 2 movies layed in bed and read a book. Hopefully tomorrow i won't be as sore.

On the food front today was also not a good day. snacks consisted of 1 can of 7-up, home done popcorn with butter, tootsie rolls and a hand full of chip

Anyone know of a good Dr. to get Laser Tattoo removal done? Don't worry not for me I love all my tattoo's

Day 3 Saturday off to the race's

Saturday moring seemed to be a crappy day. I started the day of by doing my 15 min ab ripper cd from P90X. Boy did i feel a burn gonna be sore tomorrow. Gotta love it. After the quick exercise we were off to Gimli Dragway for the afternoon. It was chilly out but i had fun pumping up and down at the race's. I can be such a little kid at times lol. Saw a couple sin outs and got real close to the track. I should have took pictures to post but left it in the car. Hopefully next year the mini will be up and running and we can take it out on the track. Its gonna be so exciting. Once we were back home from Gimli i was back into my workout room.  I completed my Kenpo cd. Kenpo X is 58 minutes of non-stop moving, punching, kicking, chopping, changing directions, jumping around, burning calories like crazy and before you know it your done, dripping with sweat. Your also learning some self defense moves. I really enjoy doing this cd. And boy am i gonna be sore tomorrow.

Today i also had the time to make that home made apple pie turned out pretty good. I only had a small piece.

Day 2

Today started out to early. Once i finished my running around and planned out a new longer route for walks . Me and Zoe where out for our hour walk. I forgot the water bottle, good thing theres a water fountain on the way to the park. I knew I live close to assiniboine park but driving always seems closer then walking it turns out a round trip is only 3 miles. I'm now looking forward to more walks to the park, I think Zoe will enjoy it also.
After trying to tie up some design decisions for the new business. I figure its hot out the sun is shinning so into my swim suit to tan for a bit. Turned into 3 hours but i also got to exercise my mind by reading.
Tonight i attemped to take my bike out for a ride. I took it out got half way down the back lane and noticed i had a flat front tire so back home i went. This really put me down, even though my knee was hurting. Colin should be able to help me pump it up tomorrow. My exercise got cut short but i still did something to sweat.

We watched "The Backup Plan" i really enjoyed it wasn't the best movie ever but was funny.

Today there was no pop but 1 can of wheat beer. If it helps any it was hot out side who cant resist a cold beer on a hot day and if it helps any i didn't like it.

The Pie for my husband didn't get made  but the kitchen in now clean so tomorrow i can make it providing we don't head out to the Gimli motor sport park. The mini isn't working so not sure if we are heading out.

Enjoy your weekend everyone

Day 1

So today I desided that it was the day to start blogging my enteries. Since I`m not working and have lots of free time on my hands i figured what a great idea so After and hour on the computer trying to figure this out It was time to head out into the sun. With Zoe by my side we headed out for a walk. Once we hit Wellington Cres. the nice enjoyable walk stopped and i had to pull zoe almost a block she was to interested in the guys planting new tree's. Once past Wellington we were back to our fast paced
walk Which was 2.51 miles we also cut off 10 mins off our time. I have been trying to do an hour walk with Zoe but it hasn`t seemed to work. Gotta plan out a new longer route for us. The good news for today is that i even got out for a second walk of the day. It was much shorter at 1.4 miles. I`ve also desided that as of today and for three days a week i`ll be doing my Ab Ripper-X cd from my p90x routine. With monday being a new week I will also be starting the regular 1 hr. 6 days a week work out from P90X. (which i love) Maybe 3rd times a charm and i`ll finish the whole 3 month work out this time.


Glad to say that today i managed to stay away from pop. Drinks of the day contained Ice Water and a fruit juice.

An over all good day. 

Tomorrow plan of the day is to make my husband an home made apple pie (which i have never done) and to take my bike out. I bought a bike at the beginning of summer and needless to say i have only taken it out twice and i kinda promised i would ride daily through out the summer.

Wish me luck....

Getting Started

So I've been thinking about starting a blog, ever since one of my friends started doing his own. I love the fact i can track my daily exericise and have my fellow friends leave comments. I have been writting a daily journal entery but not the same when i get off track, no one see's my failures but me. So hopefully my friends will give there input, which will help keep me stay on track and improve my life.

So today is Day 1. I've been on the computer long enough trying to figure out this whole blog thing. It's calling for a nice warm day, better get started.

Wish Me Luck
