Awesome Long Weekend (7 days left on Cleanse)
What an amazing weekend I’ve been having … for me, it started on Thursday with our trip to Niagara-On-The-Lake (NOTL). Can I tell you how romantic of a place NOTL is. We had a fab time, and it was just a day of relaxing, great company, sharing moments, good food, and a bit of gambling … that’s right, we ended the evening at Niagara Falls and went to the casino. We checked out $50, and lost $10. We took our $40 winnings and went for chicken wings, which ended up being the worst wings I’ve ever eaten in my life!!! It was such an awful cheat!!! Yuck!!!! Anyhoo … We went for an 85 mins couple’s massage at The Pillar and The Post. If you are ever in the Niagara area, I strongly recommend stopping there for a spa day. The facility is very beautiful and extremely calming. They have this great hot springs that we fully took advantage of after our massages. My brother and his family came in late Thursday / early Friday (depending on how you look at it). It’s been great hanging with him, my sis-in-law and nieces!!! Miss them sooooo!!!! They live in Ottawa, so I don’t get to see them too much.
On Friday night, I went to a pretty decent ol’ school jam with my girl Sips. We had a great time! Can I say hot hottie hottie Sips was looking! She’s an inspiration to us all. She’s been fierce on her journey to lose weight and man, what poundage she has lost. Absolutely incredible…..!!! Also ran into my girl Tash down there… who also was looking tres fierce and sexy!!! Lastly … it being Caribana weekend and all, I ran into a whole lot of ex-peeps (gurls … y’know what I’m talking about). So, that was great too! Some I was really excited to see … and others that … well let’s just say I was damn happy I looked good and take care of my body!!! Ha-ha!!!! If there’s one piece of advice I can give to all the women out there …. Take care of yourself!!! Make sure you are always looking HOTT!!!! Do it for you, and reap the rewards that it brings to the self-esteem. Love yourself at all time and guaranteed it will shine through!
The Caribana parade was okay. It’s pretty much the same thing for me every year, except I’m getting older and just look at it different as each year passes. It was great seeing everyone out and having a good time! The weather was on point, and there were loads of people out to enjoy in the festivities … young and old! Today was Beef rib day … my brother and sis-in-law, brought us these SWEET honking ribs from a butcher shop in their area. The men BBQ’d them up today and man …. Were they ever tasty! I fully thought I stop at just one … y’know .. the preach about the whole portion control thang … well nope … I had 3!!!! Hey, there’s not much meat on them y’know … ha-ha
Oh, did I mention that I since I had a nice and clean eating week … I decided that from Thursday evening, right thru to Sunday I was going to enjoy myself and just eat what I felt like!!!! So, to that end I had a Big Daddy’s treat in there. For those avid readers of my blogs … y’know, that eat was all about the crab cakes and ribs!!!! My girl Jully gave me an awesome idea, which I exercised that night. Both the crab cakes and ribs are on the appetizer menu. So rather then ordering the crab cakes and then ribs as an entrée, I ordered both off of the appetizer menu and my portion sizes went right down and manageable!!! Awesome idea Juls! Thanks a mil for that!!!! Well, I’m off for the night to spend some more quality time with my fam. Hope you are enjoying your long weekend … for those on the Canada side of the world. For all others, hope your weekend has been blessed and merry! Cheers y’all! Nke
