I am really proud of myself for getting up this morning and working out for 45mins. My triceps were burning, my glutes were tightened, then I went to the frigging harbour.

Seafood pasta, chowder, homemade icecream, fries. hmmm.I didn’t eat all of the portions (I shared with my husband), but I ate like a porker and I am happy-sad about it.

 Tmr, we are on the road again for a few hours, so I am not sure if I can squeeze in morining excercise. I will try though.

I have been journalling my food intake so seeing it on paper will probably scare me enough tmr to eat smart.

 I am doing my best, hoping to try harder.Attached are  2 pictures at Peggy’s Cove Nova Scotia. 

I left Toronto at 2 pm on Sunday and arrived Monday at 11:30 in Nova Scotia! Striaght driving!!!!

I tried to do some curls in the car with my excerise band…not the greatest but it was the best I could do in a moving car for 21 hrs. On Monday for lunch I started to eat deep fried fish and chips overlooking Peggy’s Cove…but I couldn’t do it. The willpower was strong…so we drove to Mcdonalds to get a grill wrap.

For dinner though… I tasted everything. The food was so good. We were at Halifax Feast for dinner and theathre and it was so bloody amazing, I had to taste it all!!!! The laugh was a good ab excerciser too.

This morning, my second day, I woke up early and did 1/2 hour of excercise. It was great. My friends were heckling at first, but I think the admiration is coming on.

Those of you who are routing for me or praying for me…keep on doing it…cause I do not intented to put on weight on this trip!!!!!

This is me, healthy and fit Nicky

Tomorrow I take off. After eating desserts like crazy yesterday and today, I am on high alert.  How will I ever manage this road trip. Not being able to prepare meals…going out to eat all the time…I need major help!

Argh! It’s true. I was crabby all day yesterday, tired and sleepy and craving salt because I’m sick.

I’ve picked up some odd flu just days before my road trip that have me feeling like crap. Needless to say I forced myself to walk on the threadmill this morning for 1/2 hour. My mind was telling me yes….but my body…my body was telling me no.

So I’ve been in bed all morning. I guess it will have to be that way to get better. I really wanted to do some intense cardio and weights just a few more times before I take off but rest calls.

 On another note, leaving comments for others is not working for me. "The tokens plague" Just know that I am reading your blogs and checking you guys out. I just can’t seem to write any comments.

Peace, I’m going to make some chinese soup and begrudingly run last minute errands.

Oh yea, so I’m not pregnant.

My body usually responds to excercise and diet changes within two weeks but it has been over a month and no changes have occurred! Nada!

I don’t know what is going on. Needless to say I am tired and sleepy and my husband has been joking around about hiding my birthcontrol pills.

This morning as I tried to drag myself out of bed I thought to myself…"Could I be pregnant?…nah……..it couldn’t be…"

 Anyway, I might as well keep on doing what I am doing, as my road trip is coming up and that will be a REAL test of time.

From sunday I’ll be on the road for two weeks!

Arg!!!

I am only 1 month into my new fit living lifestyle and I am going on the road with some in active stick people. Not only that…it’s the fast food… and restaurant food…and sitting in the car for long periods that are scaring me.

I am not sure how I am going to do it. Any advice out there?

Friday, I am getting together with some of my friends for dinner and dance. I am not sure how to have a nice meal without  just eating salad and getting criticized. I have one friend who just can’t be happy for others without getting jealous. If I say I am on a health kick, I know envy will be spewing but if I eat the bread and the pasta as I used to do, I’ll  be kicking myself on Saturday morning. Geez, I need to figure out what to do fast as I am sure, I’ll be having lots more of these encounters.

Hey All,

It’s taken me a while to join this group. I often read people’s profiles and blogs but couldn’t committ.

Now I’m committing to finishing this race I’ve started several years ago. Now that I am part of a community, I guess it will be a motivator to take one more step when quitting seems much more familiar.

 Cheers
