Day 9 of 55

Well it was the last day of school, so besides feeling a little sad because I was done for the year, it was an ok day.

I didn't eat great but I didn't eat to badly, and I was active.  I went for walks around the school and then I played with Little Man when I got home, it wasn't much but for the way I was feeling it was a lot!!

Day 8 of 55

Today was an excellent day!!!

I ate well, not perfectly but I ate well.  Also I did some walking with Lil Man and then I went to the gym where I pounded out my workout. 

I am loving my new workouts, but I do need to do a workout at home to ensure that I am making progress in getting stronger and faster at working out.  Although yesterday we had to run around the outside of the gym 3 times which three months ago was a serious struggle for me.  I am thinking that since it's been over a week of working out I am going to post a dreaded bikini picture so that I can see the comparison in a weeks time.

Hopefully that will be even more incentive for me to work doubly hard this month before the big nuptial trip!!!

Day 6&7 of 55

Ok so I got a little behind on this whole diary type blogging for my countdown to the wedding.  But I think most weekends will usually be like this so I will just group them together and update on Monday, that will be way easier.

So didn't have a great dieting weekend, but I didn't eat too badly.

I didn't do to much exercising either.  I only played some Kinect with Chandler on Saturday, but I feel I made up for it on Sunday.  I did a whole bunch of yard work on Sunday and I was able to clean up under my deck and do the edging around my yard.

So today is Monday I will update what I am doing in a later blog.

Day 4 of 55

Today was not a good day.  It's the end of the year and we are doing all kinds of wrap up parties and well, unfortunately, the kids don't always bring only healthy food, and when it comes to sweets my will power falters. 

Then it was a day at school all day with me not participating in gym today, I just didn't really feel like it.  They were playing dodge ball, and well they were a little too exuberant with their competitiveness. 

And now Sherry isn't going to the gym tonight because she doesn't feel well (get better soon Sherry) but it is a deterrent from going to the gym especially since Nicole is absent today as well.  But I am going to go then I am going to meet up with Adrian for a steak night or something.  It will be fine and I can get back on track tomorrow,  so I am not too worried right now.  But today hasn't been  a great day!!  Not one of the days I will be highlighting that's for sure!!!

Day 3 of 55

So another day of working out and keeping active.

Took the little man and the dog to the dog park today.  It's a good hike around, usually it takes about 40 minutes. It took us over an hour, but that's because Little man wanted to walk part of it, and well he is easily distracted. 

Then it was an afternoon and relaxation and enjoyment.  I wanted to do another workout tonight but I am so exhausted and burnt out that I just needed a break.  So I took it.  I will get back into everything tomorrow.  Another gym class, another workout and maybe some time at the driving range.

Keeping active to keep in shape!!!

Day 2 of 55

So today I had to work and I was exhausted.  It was a surprising day because I got two preps instead of one since my Grade fives were in Track and Field. I had planned on staying really late at work to complete my tests and marking so that all I had left to do on exam day was correcting the final exam.  However, I think I will get home a little earlier since I finished all that and I packed up my car and classroom.  It's time to move on out. :'(

So there wasn't much going on for physical activity yet today.  In my last class we went for a walk to the park and that took 20 minutes.  So that was a good thing.  I will be driving home and then I will be applying to a couple places for evening jobs this summer.  Finally, I will be going to my workout at the gym.  It's going to be a good workout.  I just know it.  Then I may go to bed I am exhausted.  It was a late night last night and an early morning too.

I am pretty sure I won't have to work tomorrow so I will be able to go for a walk with Lil Man again and maybe take the dog too.  Apparently, the dog is not happy with us and tried to run away three times today.  Thank God for good neighbours.  We might just go down to the dog park, going to phone a friend with a dog to see if they want to meet us.  Need to get out more and do these things.  So those are the plans.

We were measured on Monday so I will post the results and comparisons tomorrow or later tonight so you can see what's going on. 

Day 1 of 55

So today is Day one.

I have not been very active yet, today, been working in front of the computer because I am trying to finish my study guides and my final exam for next Tuesday.

But the plan for today is to go out for a long walk with lil man.  I think we may go to the library to return some books.  That should take us an hour to get there and back.  Afterwards, we will play in the yard and let lil man run off any energy he has so he will have a long nap.

Tonight I have plans with Krysta to do a Crossfit workout.  It's a short workout but it's a good one that will get our blood pumping and muscles moving.  We will be doing a fifteen minute workout, where for each minute we do that number of pushups, sit-ups and squats.  I am looking forward to it.  Afterwards I think I have earned a chance to sit down and relax for a bit.

Must have balance in life!!!
