Nothing much to report today

Today I am feeling good food wise. I have been eating carefully and thoughtfully. I did have tacos (soft shell not hard so it wasn't deep fried!) last night, and a small piece of chocolate mousse cake (it was horrible, thank goodness!) but other than that it's been healthy, not processed foods for me.

I think I'm finally in the headspace where I'm ready to accept the fact that I must work my butt off to get what I want, instead of sitting on my butt and being sad about my pants not fitting. I'm really not impressed I'm wearing the same pants my sister wore when she was three months pregnant. and I'm not pregnant!

I'm excited about the new fitness video I got at Chapters with Candice. Only $15 and I think it is totally worth it! I've done it twice, and both times my arms, chest, thighs and butt were on fire (my chest and thighs are still uncomfortable!) and I'm going to take that to mean that something is working.

Plus, I did go to running on Monday in the rain and the cold. And I really can run 10 minutes straight! They took us on a tour of the expensive nearby neighbourhood with a nice little path around a man-made lake, then down the street a bit to another path where there was a nice grassy area (which we made it to by the 10 minute mark) so we could stop and enjoy the view of the Terwillegar dog park (I didn't even know there was a dog park in Terwillegar!). And I got called a good pace bunny! Apparently Cindy liked the pace I was running at and that I was consistent, so she ran behind me and encouraged me almost the whole 10 minutes back to the meeting spot. I felt pretty darn good.

Tonight is run #2 this week - Candice will meet me at work and we'll proceed to go running. YAY! I never would have thought I'd say I enjoy running, but I think I really do. I'm thinking about even taking the 5K course that starts next Thursday. I'm sad that Candice has kung fu that night and am a bit apprehensive about taking it alone. Plus there's the whole "it's gonna be snowy, cold and dark" part to running at this time of year. Decisions, decisions.

Now that I've been on iron (semi) faithfully, I have more energy and I feel more like my old fun self again. Who would've guessed that I'd be super anemic lol.

I'm getting excited - 23 more sleeps until the boy gets home. We're at the half way point. I've had some freakouts and the boy handles it so well. But I figured out what was wrong with me and now it's all good. I'm excited for him to be home! It's been a heck of a month!

This weekend is the dinner at the Armoury for the families of the reservists. Thank goodness I was able to find a hot date - Tim, Karen and Dallas. Was going to ask Candice but she's off to Vegas with Trish (lucky girls!). Have my outfit planned - a brown dress with sequiny things on the collar (vneck) and black pumps. However, I might have to go shopping on Saturday, you never know. This dinner should be fun, there are lots of great people I know who will be there, and it's nice to see my fellow dragon boaters again!
