Hey Challengers, I hope life has been exciting for you as you have started to track those points! Going the extra mile, being kind to yourself and others. This challenge is awesome!

So why am I stepping out? BECAUSE I CAN’T SEEM TO HAVE TIME TO TRACK MY POINTS!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I know it is simple but I have just been crazy busy. The type that has me eating standing up or while driving (Husband, please pretend not to read that). The past two weeks has been ALL ABOUT ME. I haven’t had time to stop and talk with friends, buy a kid a cone, meditate on any breathtaking phenomenon or visit your blogs! It’s all about getting through these next two months before I take off to sweet TnT for Christmas. I haven’t even had time to formally work out. BOOOOOO

So what’s new in the life on Nicky you say…oh, well I am trying to buy a house, so looking at houses everyday eats away time. I am closing my retail business. Mad sale, means, mad rush and all the trimmings that goes with it. I am working extra hours at my part time job, cause I owe them time. Ugh. I am planning christmas festivities at church as I am on the board and the leader of women’s ministry and the only profesionally trained dancer. And I am carrying precious new life who for some reason has slowed me down, is making me feel nauseous just thinking of the smell of gym sweat, and is causing me to eat more carbs than I want to post.

So there, ladies and gentleman. It is not a typical season for me. It is a mad rush of excitable days all rolled into one. For the most part, I am living as if I am doing this challenge but my brain can’t add another dimension to the mix, so I fear that I would have to conventionally withdraw.

All the best to each of you. Tons of love and good health coming you way!

This weekend is thanksgiving for us here in Canada and I must say that during my early morning run I was full of thanks. I felt no pain (except for the old hip creaks), but I’ll take that over the usual dose of "I can’t even walk". I got up early while it was still dark and watched the sun rose as I ran along the trails. It was beautiful. I felt as if a new day was also dawning in my life as circumstances and events are evolving. It’s nice to have hope meet reality for a change…I look forward to the next three months.

ok, after typing a long blog catching up on details of week 1 and 2, my computer went bonkers. I’m not in the mood for computer crap on a friday night after a 20hr work day (yes, you read right). So I would have to pass on posting a blog today.

I even tried posting pics and it’s not happening either. I guess this is a reflection of how my week has been going!

Hello everyone,

The challenge started a few days ago but I haven’t posted my goals because I am still unsure of what they should be. Since I do not have all the time in the world, I am going to go with the following:

Spirit

-Calm down

-Reconnect with God and allow my true self to breathe again

-Love my husband with all that I’ve got

 Body (since I am trying to get pregnant…)

-Eat clean 5 days a week

-Do cardio 5 days a week

-Do weights 3 times a week

-lose 5lbs (pre-conception)/ Don’t gain more than 5lbs first trimester

Mind

-Finish reading a book

-Read the bible a.m and p.m

-Increase knowledge on mind/body/spirit connection
