Well I haven’t been on much - just busy with life! I have however been making better more planned meals - my lunches have also been much more healthier. I do need to get more active again. I think I will get back to swimming. The tourist season is slowing down and in another couple weeks the hotsprings will be less busy. I also saw a beginers yoga class and I thnk I will give that a go as it is right after work and I will still be home early. Well I hope everyone is doing great. I will try to catch up next week.

Well today after work I went and shopped mainly for my work lunches. #1 I need to pack lunches to plan my work lunches better and eat healthier #2 I need to plan and bring lunches to save $$$$ I have gotten lazier and bought lunches. With the new home we bought (well new to us!) I need to save $$ as there are lots of reno’s to do. I have also bought salmon patties and chicken breasts for supper meals. So now I just have to get my ducks in a row and plan my meals and get back on track.

Man it is so hot right now! I don’t feel like walking much. But well I know it will cool down in a few weeks.

I hope all you have a great day!

Ok ok any normal person would train before entering a 10K run. I did last year and found it went pretty good. This year well it was a grind from the beginning. The route is very hill and area’s are quite steep. I guess it stands to reason living in a mountain town! Well my friend and I pushed it. We completed it in just 2 minutes longer than last year! So I am very happy with it - however man am I stiff today! So next year I will plan in advance.

Well all I can say is that at least I did it and didn’t not go in the run walk. So even though it took me 2 mins longer I wasn’t a quitter and completed my goal.

tomorrow I will go shopping and pick up some healthy proteins.

I have been feeling tired lately - more than usual. I now realize after looking @ my food choices I have been toooooo heavy on the carbs. I have to think about lunches… Well I am going to bring a bag of salad to work and a can of salmon. I have found some nice salmon. It is boneless & skinless in the can - kind of like tuna.

So tomorrow for breakfast : 2 eggs, Lunch: can of salmon with salad, Dinner: salad & fish on barbq. I know this will give me the lack of sluggishness I need before the race.

Maybe its me but carbs (the bad ones) make me sooo tired. Well worth the experiment.

Have a good day all!

Well Sat is approaching fast and I am a bit nervous. I know I should of prepared more but well I am going to consider the many boxes I moved up and down the stairs as my training program:) Well my meals lately have been well somewhat to be improved on. With the move is reno’s… no kitchen - But I bought a bag of salad the otherday and it sure tasted good. It will be about 2 weeks until the kitchen is done and then well I am going to get backto a normal planning of meals. I miss that. I miss having proper food on hand. I miss my crock pot ( its in a box some where?) However I am glad to feel at home - now that we bought our place I feel I am at the start of a new phase in my life. I am feeling more centered. I know this is a good starting point for me. Maybe the race…. like you said Jo is what I need to re start! Yes that will be my new starting point!

Well gang- I am still here! I have been in the midst of moving to our new home. We have been busy with the move - DH reno’s and I am taking some courses @ work…. Well I have been somewhat overwhelmed with everything - but I shouldn’t as I am excited that we have purchased a home. Our area is totaly out of control with housing prices. We are a resort area that the rich oil industry in Alberta Canada is drawn to. Well we have a wonderful area with mountains and lakes… Which brings me to the 10K I am doing this weekend. Loop the Lake!  Yes there is a marathon 63K  around our Lake Windermere. BUT I am just doing the 10 k portion. Well I really haven’t done much training but I am doing it any ways. I did it last year and If I don’t continue it this year I know it will put me back in my old patterns.

Well must sign off I will walk a bit tomorrow (to and from work- 1/2 hour each way) miss you all I will try to get back into it now that I am all moved in!
