And the word of the day is Hakunamasquata




Another SpectacularHotSweatyAwesomeWishIWasatTheBeach day.

Ladies, I have to tell you that you are missing a lot of shirtlessness along the canal these days.  Maybe you all want to chip in and get me a Go Pro camera for my bike helmet so you can see some of the glistening awesomeness going on out there.  Just putting it out there.

Yesterday there was a couple sitting on a bench along the canal with a picnic basket and they were enjoying a glass of wine (in real glasses).  Nice way to end a day.  Steph, you need a picnic basket to go with your new blanket.  Next was a man playing his guitar while sitting on a bench. He should have moved to a closer bench so he could serenade the couple.  Mind you, I had my headphones in so he could have been playing something horrible for which they would be grateful not to have to hear.  Then much glistening shirtlessness.  Wish I could have done the same myself this morning.  Whew but it was a sweaty ride.  The sun came out just as I got to Carleton University and it was spectacular…I should get out the thesaurus to find other words for spectacular but it really was.  Made me smile.

Can I just take a moment to rant about insurance companies?  Apparently we have to pay for a drivers abstract for Jonathan in order to insure him.  Seriously!!  What a money grab on the part of the government and the insurance companies.

My bike commute rant for this week is that last night on the sweaty, hot ride home I was about to turn right and another biker decided to pass me ON THE RIGHT.  Are you an idiot?  Well, apparently you are.  If I hadn’t have noticed we would have crashed.  Dolt!!

Happy news for me this week is that I am down 15 pounds – yee haw.  I can actually see some of my muscles again.  I’ve missed them J.

I have been powering through ab work this week and every time I cough today I could cry.  YOWCH.  No pain, no gain, right?

Almost time for me to head out for a very hotsweatywishIwasatthebeach bike ride home.  If you see a puddle on the side of the road later it will probably be me.



This will definitely be me when I get home.  My bottle of ice melts very quickly in this weather and becomes a bottle of hot water....ewww.

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE.

What do you think of this beautiful dress?  I bought this to wear to the wedding reception.  Your daughter only gets married once right!  A definite reason to put on a party dress.  Also a reason to hit the gym and work on those shoulders.

Happy Friday! Looks like it is going to be a fantabulous weather day…for a change.Get outside and enjoy it while it lasts.
Burpees.You all know them.You all hate them. Anyone who says they like them needs serious therapy.This morning’s torture was 100 burpees.100!!!Well, that didn’t happen but I’m sure about 60 did.Can’t say much for my form but I did them.What was I thinking with each and every painful burpee?Andrea Nicholls.Yes Andrea, all I could think of while doing them was how you got us to do them in class at Nordion.They still hurt as much as ever but I think you’d be proud of me for doing as many as I did.I’m pretty proud of me.I will make sure to take a handful of ibuprofen before bed tonight so that I can get out of bed tomorrow.I think Sat…

Yes, I do own these beauties. Wednesday...half way to the weekend but so many hours left to go.Can cross cardio off today's list - I ran for the bus. So much has happened since my last blog. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and now it is almost Christmas.Are you ready?I'm getting there…slowly.
The fam is going to Montreal on Saturday so I am working on my to-do list which will start after our buds Charlie and Eddie finish up their sleepover at our place.We are looking forward to doing something Christmassy with them before they head home…better put on my creative hat soon. After that I am off for a pedicure compliments of Jaan - as my feet bask in the bubbles I am going to bestow the warmest thoughts on you Jaan. Maybe I’ll put the Christmas tree up (well, into the tree stand. I love the smell of real trees. Then we can spend the week putting on the lights and decorations.


I have a story.Grab yourself a coffee/tea, a cookie, a banana or just put your feet up for a few minutes an…

Long weekend excitement

Image
I am pretty excited that I have tomorrow off to start off the long weekend.

I am also pretty sad that the weather is going to suck and I may not get to go to the beach (for the first time all summer!)


But, I'll try to keep the excitement going at least for the next 8 hours to get through the work week.

I hope you all have some exciting, relaxing, fun filled plans for the weekend.



Some gym humour. Actually, this isn't me but there is a woman at the gym that likes to booty shake when a good song comes on.  Pretty amusing.




Who the heck does wall planks?  In jeans no less!  Why do wall planks?  Regular planks are hard enough, right?

HI HO, HI HO....
