How do you brighten a gloomy day?



Well, first you read my blog of course!



Then you put on new shoes.  Nothing says happy like new shoes. 

I feel very virtuous this morning because I went to the gym.  I also went after work last night - go me!  Found an elliptical machine that is a little bit of torture (which I consider the sign of a good workout).  It has arms so it cycles you through leg and arm routines.   Now if this guy was at the gym I'd never leave...maybe I'll have jacked arms like this some day.



Have a wonderful spring-like day 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.

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....
