Productivity in My this and that
A flip switched yesterday and I wanted to do more than just sit around eating. Don’t get me wrong, I still did plenty of that, BUT I also did laundry AND cut out all the pieces of fabric to star...
My first day back in Diet and Health
So, my friend is visiting from out of town. She’s the same friend who got me out and running for the first time back in February. Since she’s visiting I asked if she wanted to run… she said sur...
Summer Camping in My this and that
We went camping this past weekend with Ben’s sister and her bf, and it was far more enjoyable than I expected. I’m not much for camping. I don’t like being dirty, or cold, and it honestly seeme...
New clothes for my winter wardrobe in My this and that
So, on the weekend I did manage to cut the pattern pieces out of the fabric I’m using to make that dress for my aunt. I’m not terribly excited about the dress, but I do have a goal to have it do...
No cookies! in Diet and Health
Well, my two goals yesterday were each half met… again. I did half the dishes this morning when I woke up. YAY! And I didn’t eat ANY cookies yesterday, but I did eat half a bag of nibs. YUM! J...
Keep on trying in Diet and Health
I failed, but I’ll try again because today is a new day! I didn’t do the dishes, though I DID organize the dirty ones into neat stacks to clear up counter space! I’ll give myself a half-win for ...
Just for Today take 2 in Diet and Health
So, I managed to keep my “Just for Today” goals on Friday. I DID say no to ice cream cake, however I said yes to a small slice of coconut cream pie. At least it didn’t make my tummy hurt like t...
Just for Today in Diet and Health
I was reading this forum, and someone suggested the “Just for Today” goals. You set a goal, just for today… and maybe you set the same goals tomorrow, or bigger goals. But if you can keep it up...
Dessert Decisions in Diet and Health
It’s always a win when I can say no to dessert. Well, last night I didn’t really say “no” I just chose fruit salad instead of gelati. I think it was DEFINITELY a healthy choice, and I’m patti...
Back to it in Diet and Health
Well, after a two week holiday, where I let myself eat everything and anything, I need to jump back on the wagon. I’m a blood-type eater, which means that according to research different blood ty...
Back! in My this and that
Man, go away for two weeks and now I have butt-loads of entries to catch up on reading. Europe was everything I wanted it to be. It was perfect weather, and everything was perfect, and God is so...
I RAN SO FAR in My this and that
Today I am thankful that I did it! I accomplished my first 10K run, and got the medal and I’m a winner! I mean, I got in 836th place out of 1450+ people… so I wasn’t last… that’s pretty cool. ...
The best weekend in My this and that
We did very little, and it was the best. Friday night we went to the fair in the town where Ben grew up. $15 to get in, all the free food you could eat (I love food! I had a few bites of pork o...
Run to Rivendell in My this and that
Today I am thankful for my job. As much as I may not want to be here, it’s nice to be secure in the fact that I have a pay cheque coming every two weeks. And honestly, this job is pretty great....
Might have solved the knee problem in My this and that
So, I decided to try running again this morning, despite all of my problems on Monday evening with my knee hurting, and me not being able to run hardly at all. So I got up early (5:00 a.m. Ya. ...
Fast Weekend in My this and that
I don’t know what happened, but this weekend went by SO quickly. The whole time the weekend was going, I was asking it to slow down. Friday night we did a HUGE grocery shop at costco. YAY for h...
Secrets in My this and that
I’m PMSing pretty hard right now, and pretty well want to eat everything I can think of. So I stopped at the gluten free bakery last night for a donut, which I ate on the way to the store to buy...
Sunny Days in My this and that
Ran yesterday, and my knee hurt… and then it hurt all day. I decided to take today off running. Perhaps I’ll do some stretches and strength building, and get back at it tomorrow to see how it f...
Brighter Day in My this and that
Today is already better. The exercise I got this morning helped, but the fact that the sun is shining helps more I think. My run this morning was pretty poor. I couldn’t seem to go more than 5 ...
Kind-hearted people in My this and that
It’s raining here today. A bus slowed almost to a stop right beside me while I was walking to work, and at first it kind of freaked me out, because it wasn’t a bus stop. But then I looked over ...
Back at it in My this and that
After a whole week off running, due to not feeling 100% well (and maybe a bit of laziness) I got back out there this morning. 5:30 a.m. my alarm went, and I hopped out of bed, and was on my way...
More Pee in My this and that
Last night I got home from a long day away (first work, then straight to a birthday party). I snuggled my Jake Cat and then fed him, and then my husband snuggled him as well. Then hubby went to...
Booked Accommodations in My this and that
So, I learned to spell accommodations. I think that is something to be proud of. In other news, last night I booked our accommodations in Paris and Rome for the beginning and end of our trip, be...
Running progress update in My this and that
Well, I took two days off running and did some body weight training. My muscles are sore from it, but today was my day to get back out there and hit the pavement. Here is how I did: Total time ...
