December 9, 2009
I did not go to the gym last night… headache kept me from going. The news was forecasting a BIG snow storm for today….and although areas North of the city got hit, we didn’t get though any (YAY) just rain and high winds (which still sucks). So I thought I would be hibernating inside today but it appears not! It’s supposed to get up to 5 or 7 degrees (Celsius).  So possibly no snow for today. I am planning to hit the gym at some point today/tonight. Not much else exciting is going on ATM….

Tuuuuuuuuuesday :)

December 8, 2009
SPent another day at the courthouse and it wasn’t as exciting as yesterday. But there were a few matters that were not straight forward so it was a mini lesson for me Gotta love those non English speaking immigrants! Since I am thinking of becoming a Prosecutor it was great for me to see the Prosecutors give the defendant’s their options but also to see the Prosecutor in action during a trial. I figure if I find this interesting, the other laws would be even more interesting. P.S. driving without insurance and/or a suspended licence in Ontario is REALLY effing expensive!!

No gym tonight as I have a lovely headache….snow storm on it’s way. Not going to the gym either but plan on going to the condo gym tomorrow. Not going to the courthouse tomorrow either…I have some $hit I have to get done.

Monday: Part Deux!

The news you have all been waiting for……. I WENT TO THE GYM!!!!!!!!!

It felt pretty good. I am on a cardio kick now and will throw in some weights when I feel like it. Tonight I did 45 minutes.
30 minutes was “random” on TM level 10/20, speed 3.6, incline ranged from 2.5 - 6.5.
15 minutes was done on “hill” on TM level 10/20, speed 3.6, incline ranged from 1.5 - 7.5.

Felt good I tell ya

Mondaaaaaaaaaaaay

Sorry I have been AWOL - lol. Everything is fine. I STILL have not made it to the gym (it’s been a solid week now) but I am going tonight. I have actually been spending a lot of time working on, let’s call them …. "inner issues" and am feeling better (nothing serious) just stuff that I wanted to deal with…..
Found out that I am still eligible to apply for school under the new guidelines. I have a couple things I need to add to my application but am hoping to get it done this week before everything stops for Christmas.
This morning I was in Traffic Court observing a trail…was pretty cool. I am going this afternoon to observe another one. I am trying to get in with another Paralegal that does criminal stuff to follow her around for a bit. So we’ll see. Other than that nothing else is going on.

Oh sweetener update.  I am now drinking my coffee with just milk….not even the agave nectar! I think that’s pretty "sweet" lol.

I have taken some days off at the gym. I have made some changes and because of those changes I am feeling tired. I know it will not last though.  This weekend was ok. Nothing spectacular to be reported. No workouts - I just didn’t have the energy or the desire.  I am hoping to go today. I realized not too long ago that there is a certain time of day where I feel more energized to go….which is in the afternoon/evening. It’s like that’s when my body wakes up.  I took another comparison pic but don’t know if I see a difference….. Maybe a bit but can’t tell for sure.  Not much else to report.  Have a great day!

Mmmmm Friday & Cookies!!!!!

November 27, 2009
Mmmmmmm baking chocolate chip cookies *from scratch* right now. My place smells AWESOME!!! It’s really a test run. I got these two awesome baking books so I could have a Christmas baking extravaganza! The chocolate chip cookies are not part of the Christmas list but thought I would try out a recipe. I’ll be making 5 or 6 different things this year.

I have taken a couple days off from the gym (no energy what-so-ever) but this morning told myself I really should go today. So I’ll do that later on.

Other than that everything else has been pretty uneventful…… TTFN!

Midweek ….

November 25, 2009

OMG only one month until Christmas!!!!! 2 weeks until my 37th b-day How did I get to 37? I’m too young

Yesterday was a “meh” day as you read. I have to say though that I was able to pull myself out of my funk ….as the day progressed going to the gym was not appealing…lol. So after hmmming and haaaaing about it I made myself go…. and I did feel better after the workout except I ended up getting a headache
Here’s to today being better!!!

P.S. I was watching BL last night and I have one thing to say…..

I LOVE BOB!!!!

Monday is almost over!

November 23, 2009

It feels like I have written in so long! It’s only been a few days though….

I have felt like crap aaaalll day :( Boo. I went tot he gym this morning (while feeling like crap)  and managed a good workout but it didn’t help me feel any better. Side note…three’s company is on …. lol.

I don’t have much to report jsut wanted to stop by and say hi. I AM hoping to report another 2 pound weight loss but we will see. My dad has been away for two weeks and when I went over to my parents he noticed the loss YAY!!!! :) Hope to have more to share tomorrow. :)

 

Thursday. Rainy. Grey. Heachachey.

November 19, 2009

Thursday. It’s raining off and on. Grey. Headchey. Gross day over all. I haven’t done a hell of a lot to be honest. ha ha ha. I am debating a workout. Im debating mostly because of my head…I hate workingout with a headache. I may wait and see how I feel later and go then.I did take some comparison pics though.Again goal is to be a size 4/6, 120-125 lbs. I’ve lost 6 so I am on my way. I chose this goal because I know it is realistic because this is the size and weight I was for most of my life until believe it or not my Nonna died….coincidence? It’s not. It’s been 9 years since she passed away. It effected me in more ways than one but weight gain (consoling my self with food) was definitely part of it. I would guess that what was once being used as a consoling mechanism (and I am not saying it was healthy because I don’t think it was) became habit and gradually over the years the pounds added up. I now realize that I am over my mourning and can remember her without sadness. I have also realized that I can control my nutrition much better. Which makes the “battle of the bulge” much easier. Here is my back fat camparison….lol. I think I see some changes.

hump day rant

November 18, 2009

Hellooooo! Let me start off with my rant (save the best news for last).  I went to the career assessment office yesetrday to pick up some forms I needed and was once again thouroughly aggravtaed by my case maanger. I left pretty frustrated. I called her Manager and explained to him what was going on. He explained everything to me (as I was getting conflicting reports). He told me he would speak to her (oooooh someone may get in trouble). The sad part is a lot of people who go in to this office do not speak English well as it is not their first language or they are new to Canada. Hopefully my call will do some good.

Ok, on to the BEST news!!!!  I LOST 2 MORE POUNDS!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!  Couldn’t be happier! Well, yea, I could, if it was 5 :p
