Running and Buggies

Well first of all I have to apologize to everyone in the free world who is looking for the Bugaloo Baby Buggy Stroller. The word search activity on that phrase connecting people to my blog has been extreme. I wish I knew more about the stroller all I do know is that it was out of my price range and therefore I stopped looking for it.

AND THEN.... I hope instead of finding your stroller you found a little humour with a tip here and there to make your life easier.

AND THEN... for those of you who travelled here due to a search on Cerebral palsy. I will do my best to provide a few more posts on this subject in hopes of helping you out, treatment, behaviour, parenting, school, my personal feelings, fundraising,etc. You tell me what you would like to know>>>.

AND THEN.....

Running, it is going well as far as running goes... we are upto 7 mins of continuous running before we take a 1 minute break so all in all not bad. Am I losing any inches YES Ma'am. Am I losing any weight Hell NO and I am PISSED off (with a capital P) How can so much work not reap any rewards in the weight loss category. Boo Hiss. And the first person who tells me it's because I am gaining muscle mass can take a long hard suck on my lily white A$$! I want to see those numbers drop damn it!

AND THEN.... No more and then For now!

Running

Today is a running day. We slept in...running to get everyone ready to go. Running to work. Running back to pick up bug for a clinic appt and then therapy appt. Then hopefully have a few moments to run to Big Name craft store for few Easter props and not spending more than 20 bucks then running back to work for a few hours and then running home to get dinner for family.

Running, Running Running. Who do I look like Forrest Gump!

PS Fat club update last week 150.9. this week 150.8 I guess it's still progress.

Aack! Lack of Discipline

Today is TOPS day, or as you have come to know it FAT CLUB. I am NOT excited as I have NOT been very good this week about anything. Let's see the FOUR rules I set for myself:

1) No eating after 7pm (maybe 2 nights out of the last 7) (Very poor)
2) No alcohol (This I did well, nothing all week, not a drop!)
3) Exercise (not so much, some core training with the big ball )
4) No snacking at my desk (3 chocolate bars, 1 pkg starbursts, 1 pkg fruit gummies, Gum) (VERY VERY POOR)

So I am not expecting too much from the scale today except maybe to go up a point or two.

However, I did take action to remedy this situation and to get it together. I spent the weekend cooking and portioning out food, this way all my meals are planned and snacks are ready to be packed as well as lunches.

This week I am going for the big 2 lb loss again.

Here's to fruit and veggies!

Friday, It's Friday!

I am so glad today is Friday. Only one more gruelling day of work left and hopefully I will have put in enough hours to make my 35 and cover off the time I took off for the pediatrician appt on Tuesday and therapy of Wednesday afternoon.

I really am thankful that my supervisor and employer are so flexible.

Let's see. Today I am thankful for so many things. I don't think I'm really pissed off about anything.

We'll see how the day goes. If you haven't already head over to The Pioneer Woman Cooks Herefor her yummy dumpling recipe. It is THE DEVIL.

Cheers

Diet Good - Cinnamon Buns BAD!

Well after my weekend of not eating properly and not enough exercise. I have to say I didn't fair out too bad. I managed to maintain and not gain anything. So, for now that works for me, but time to jump back on the wagon.

So we have a Tuna wrap for lunch with a hard boiled egg. Some yogurt and grapes for snack one and some cottage cheese and strawberries for snack two.

Tonight for dinner we will be having some kind of turkey meatballs and spagetti as Bugaloo and I are off to yoga. OMMMMM...

So all in all the cinnamon buns were DELICIOUS, but I did feel like crap and I should have gotten more exercise and I'm glad I was not punished by gaining a few pounds.

I will vow to make some better choices next time.

I have a few workshops dates for my side business and I managed to pull a "high meets expectations" for a performance evaluation at work. ( I could be very sarcastic here) but I will learn from others and not blog about work, since I can't afford to get fired for it.

I have started my book The Life Organizer
So far I am through the first chapter and am in agreement with the basic principal that sometime you just need to take a breath, slow down and ask yourself what is the most important thing you need to do right now. You usually have the right answer.

Enjoy the day! I will it is sunny and crisp. It looks great from my window of my nice cozy warm house. Off to work for a half day and then therapy for Bugaloo this aft.

The Block

Oh No I've got it! I really don't know what to post about today!

I seem to be scrambling a little bit. but isn't that always the way when you are away for a few days. I still need to load my photos from the weekend, which are mostly of my friends and not of any of the creative activity that went on, maybe I will have a chance to photograph some of my work tonight.

I have meetings up the hi-wa-zoo this week so the blog may be a little lame and a little short this week.

I have a massage tonight, which I am hoping will restore my brain, since its been running trying to remember everything I have to do this week. then we have our finance guy coming over to talk about RRSP room. Tomorrow we have therapy and YOGA. Thursday I have school council meeting and Friday so far no plans! Thank Goodness!

I have my FAT club weigh in today. We will see how much I have to pay for my cinnamon bun transgressions over the weekend. As long as I haven't gained back all 3.5 pounds I will be okay with the results.

When I look back, I did eat alot of carbs, but I tried to balance that with Fruit at every meal and the only junk I had was 3 cinnamon buns (big ones) so maybe, just maybe, I didn't gain anything. Wouldn't that be awesome.

So I guess I am not that stuck after all.

Now I must go update my business websitehere because I feel the motivation to give it another go. I have helped alot of people preserve their memories and precious photos and somehow I feel stronger that this work is not done.

Have a great day!
