<3 Dogs!!!

We really want a dog. Dogs just have a way of making you smile no matter what kind of mood you are in. I miss having a dog... We'll get one eventually. :)


I haven't been in the gym for the past two weeks. I just can't make myself go! I don't know where my motivation went, but it's gone. I wrote out my new program to try to get the excitement to work out back, but I have yet to start it. Tonight we are planning on going, but I'm not very motivated to do it. Maybe I just need to force myself back in the first couple times to get the kick start. I don't know... I feel like I'd just rather jog and do at home core exercises, but if I leave it up to myself to do stuff at home, I always find other things to do instead. I just have to get back and feel the benefits again. I'm sure that will get me going.


I can't believe it's almost May. Summer is almost here!!! I think it's supposed to be nice all week and into the weekend. Kirk is on nights now and has to work this weekend. Booo!!! I'm looking forward to working out, relaxing and going through our books at home to find something to read. I went on the Chapters website this morning to check out what is popular right now and pick something up new to read, but we have so many books at home that I've never read. Why buy something new?! I feel like getting into something fictional. I'll have to see what we have.


I also still have some horse stuff that I need to sell. Now is probably the best time to list it as people will be starting to get ready for the show season. Maybe I'll add that to my weekend to-do list.


To do:
Go to the gym: Wed, Thurs, Sat and Sun. (New upper/lower body split program)
Go through our books at home and find something to get into.
Pull out my horse stuff to take pics of and post on kijiji.
Wash my car inside and out.
Cut grass for the first time this year :(
OH!! hair appointment Saturday! (almost forgot)


Wow, exciting huh?!
Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Better than snow!!

For the past two days it has been rainy and grey, but I don't mind at all cause it's better than snow! It's gonna make everything green again! This picture was from my drive in this morning. :)

I have gone through the morning and part of last night thinking that today is Wednesday already. I have no idea why, but maybe I just want this week to fast forward. It is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous this weekend and I can't wait! Kirk has the weekend off and we have our upgrade appointment with the builder. Then we will be going out window shopping for furnature and appliances. Saturday is also our anniversary, so we'll be going out for a nice dinner. Sunday we have another appointment with the builder to choose all our colours. That is going to be a fun day as well! We are getting closer to having our own place finally!

We skipped out on the gym last night. Kirk and I were both feeling grumpy and really didn't want to go back out to town, so we just stayed in and relaxed. Tonight I'll try to drag my butt back into the gym, or maybe I'll just skip day 1 of the workout and get back on track tomorrow night with a regular day 2 and do cardio tonight. Who knows.... I've just felt a bit pre-occupied thinking about the house and different layouts we can do with the kitchen. We're constantly looking through magazines and websites at kitchens. So many ideas!

Have a great ... TUESDAY ... everyone! Yes, it's only Tuesday! ;)

FRI - DAY!! yessssssss!!!!

Wow, it's Friday and this is my first post this week! I suck, this week went fast!

Nothing new really though this week. We have working internet again at home. It's amazing how much you take it for granted. I thought we would be fine with no internet for a few weeks, but it's the little things you look up now and then that you miss. I can't quickly check emails, I can't look up this and that. It's back now and we're reconnected with the world (that's what it feels like anyway).

Next weekend we have our upgrade appointment with the builder. We're really excited about that. We're getting that much closer to finally having our own house!

The gym has been, well, a little inconsistant. I am still on week 3 of my program with only one more day left to finish it off. We kinda took a week off and are getting back into the swing of things this week. I haven't been very good with keeping up with my cardio days, but tonight I'll be making myself do it. Eating has been a mix of bad and good. :) We're working on balance! Yes.. that's it! No really, we have to clean it up more, summer is almost here and we'll be kicking ourselves soon! We really notice when we take a few days off at the gym. We both just feel soft and crave getting back into the gym. It's a nice change to want to get into the gym!

This weekend Kirk is working days, so I'm on my own during the day. I'll be getting my butt to the gym on Saturday and then just some random organizing at home (laundry n' stuff). Sunday I will be doing the cardio circuit and then not sure what else will fill my day. I just can't wait to sleep in! The weather is supposed to be beautiful and right now I'm really wishing we had a dog that I could go out for walks/runs with to keep me company.

Have a great Friday everyone!

Happy Easter!!!

The long weekend is here!!!! The weekend of chocolate! mmmmm :P Actually I haven't been doing a very good job keeping myself away from bad foods. I haven't been completely horrible, but bits and pieces of junk here and there. Not good!!! I'm really wanting some chocolate today.

So the weekend starts tomorrow and Kirk is off as well. We are driving my parents to the airport tomorrow and sending them off to England for a bit. I'm not sure how long they are gone for this time. Then hopefully after we drop them off, we will be going to visit a friend in Toronto. Saturday and Sunday are yet to be planned other than getting into the gym on Saturday. This week has been a complete blow off from the gym. It got all out of whack with not feeling well, going to the dentist and just general dis-organization. We'll be back on track this weekend and I'll start my week 3 all over again. :)

We have decided that we really want to pay off the GTI before we get into our house in September, so I am actually looking for a summer job! If anyone knows of anything, please let me know. Kirk is going to pick up some overtime at work and we'll do our best to collect up as much money as we can to get rid of that car payment. Can't wait to be in our house!!

I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!!

Not very nice out!

Wow, we got dumped on by winter again! Not nice! It took a bit longer for me to get in to work today as some people obviously forgot, ALREADY, how to drive on snow. How soon they forget! I'm really not looking forward to driving home.

This weekend we weren't so good on the food. We had a huge craving for pizza on Saturday night, so that's what we had! lol Oh the willpower! I didn't make it to my usual Saturday workout, so I made Sunday my do-over day. We went to the gym on Sunday but unfortunatly having left over pizza in the house got to us for lunchtime. The only good thing now is that there is no more pizza in the house! Again we were reminded how bad junk makes us feel and how good the gym makes us feel! Why do we do this to ourselves!

Not a very eventful weekend, so not much to report. Kirk had to work nights all weekend. He is off for the next two days, then off this coming weekend AND it's a long weekend this weekend!!! Can't wait!

Have a good Monday everyone! :) I just want to go home today....

Measurements....

I've been feeling awesome, feeling like I'm really changing. I see myself in the mirror and I think I see a difference, Kirk tells me he can see a difference, BUT last night I decided to take my measurements. I was sure the would be different from measurements I took back in NOVEMBER! Nope..... 1 inch off my chest. That's it??!! I thought for sure my waist was smaller. It feels smaller, looks smaller, but nope! My hips, not a change. I know, I haven't been that good with my diet having dinners here and there and having small crashes. I know I've only been doing this new program for 2 weeks, so really I've only been trying for 2 weeks, but UGH!

Ok, rant over. I'm being impatient.... I've got new motivation now though, so I'm glad I checked my measurements. I will push harder in my workouts, I will clean up my diet even more and changes will be made! Tonight is day 3 of the workout and then I will be done the second week of my six week plan. I have a good feel for the workout now and I'm confident that I can really push myself harder in them.

Kirk is on his 'weekend' now, off tonight and tomorrow, so I think he might be meeting me at the gym tonight. I'm not sure what he has planned to workout tonight. I've noticed that the gym seems extra busy lately. I've never noticed a spring push before. It's worse than the newyears resolutioners. I guess everyone wants to look good for the summer. It doesn't really affect us though since we don't use the machines. The weight room is downstairs and alot of people don't seem to venture down there.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!
