Ok, so I am a couple of days early. I'm celebrating my 28th (eek!) birthday on Friday. I've reflected on the upcoming year a lot more then I normally would and I have come to one conclusion: I will not be overweight come my 29th year. That's right! I'm making the promise to myself. There is no way I'm going to look the way I do this time next year. I will be much healthier, thinner and more confident. That is my goal!
Today I'm getting my haircut at lunch. I'm excited because I'm going to a new hairdresser and he's a man! Haha! How ridiculous for me to be excited because he's male. But I love male hairdressers for some reason. Anyways, I'm going to go for something a little different, nothing too over the top. I need a change though.
Maybe some bangs? I will post a pic when I can afterwards!

Oops!
I'm so sorry for not posting at all last week! How awful! It was a super busy one though and I only really go on the computer at work and not at home, so if I'm busy at work, I don't post!
Anyways, this past weekend my girlfriend and I went to Canmore in the Rocky Mountains for a girls weekend! We were at the spa all afternoon on Saturday, went for a nice dinner, walked around and came home and had some wine. The next morning we went shopping! I got a start to my Christmas shopping!
All in all, it was a great weekend.
I have totally fallen off the wagon in terms of WW. Not necessarily making bad food choices, but not going to meetings at all. I have had no time and it's not that I don't make the time, it's that I'm working now when they have all their meeting times. I'm going to have to get back, but to be honest, I don't think that will be until after Christmas when my contract position at our local college is up.
So, I've been really struggling with something lately -- the H1N1 vaccine and whether or not to get it. The immunization clinics just opened in Canada yesterday and in our city they were posting six hour wait times. First of all, I don't have time to wait that long in line, but more importantly I really don't think this vaccine was tested enough. I'm very nervous of the unknown side effects. I don't have very long to decide as clinics are only open until the end of Nov.
Decisions, decisions.......

Weekend is here!
I'm so glad it's the weekend! Even though we had Monday off, it seems to have been a long week!
This week I have neglected the gym. I'm going to have to really make an effort to go in the next while as I've started a contract position again with our local college and I work about four nights a week.
Eating hasn't been the greatest either. I really need to get on the band wagon and stay there. The only person who can make the change is me and if I don't, I'm the only person that I will let down!
We don't have big plans for the weekend. I'm working at my contract position today, tomorrow and Sunday -- although only for four hours at a time. But Noel and I are going to go to a hockey game which I'm excited about. It's always a great night when we're able to do that! We always have a lot of fun!
Ok, so this was a pretty boring post -- sorry y'all!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

We had a great Thanksgiving holiday this past weekend and our meal was delicious! Two major success were the meal turning out perfectly.

Up one pound
Boooooo! Not overly happy, but not overly surprised with my weigh in. First of all, the weather has gotten way colder here and I was wearing heavier clothing. Secondly, my last two weigh ins have been in the morning before I had anything to eat. Last night's weigh in was after I had eaten all day -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm going to have to be consistent with my WI times so it's a little more accurate. But next week I'm determined to see the scale down, with Thanksgiving this weekend and all!
Speaking of which, I'm hosting Thanksgiving at my house on Sunday! I'm super excited! I feel very domesticated! :) There will be eight adults and a little one. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is having to invade a turkey's personal space. Yikes!
Anyways, hope you all have a great weekend too! It's a long one for us, and I can't wait!

I'm back!!!!!!
I'm so excited to be back! I'm happy to be back into a routine and happy to return to all my bloggie friends! I missed you all!!!!!
Our trip was fantastic. It was great to hang out with my dad for more than an hour or two. We were on the water basically the whole time. We fished a lot, caught a few -- one of the biggies is in my freezer! On my days off at home I went to the gym, went to WW's, cleaned my house like a mad woman and spent time with my sweet pea Jackson, oh and Noel too! Haha!
The only thing about my trip that I regret was the eating. I really didn't stop to think about what I was eating and especially how much. That was reflected on my WI last week. I was up one pound. Could have been worse I guess! I still have lost 2.6 pounds and I'm aiming for more this Thursday!
I also met with my trainer last week and got a new program. Love it! It's a great program and I think it'll keep me motivated for a while. I went this morning and did it and it felt great!
Anyways, I should get back to work, I have a lot to do! I just wanted to check in with all of you first! Priorities eh? Haha!
I will catch up on all of your blogs this week!!!! Muah! xo

WI!
Oh my, I'm so excited! I went to my WW's meeting this morning and I'm happy to report I lost 3.6 pounds! Yahoo! Now, the challenge will be keeping that momentum up! I like going to the morning meetings better, but it's not going to be possible for me to do on a weekly basis. A lot of weeks I'll have to go in the evenings, which I guess isn't a bad thing since it will keep me very much on track during the day!
One thing I have to work on is my exercise. I have been away from the gym for over a week. Boo, I know but I have lost interest for now.
I do have an appointment with a trainer next week for a new program and I think that'll get the spark back in me!
This will be my last post for a while -- don't give up on me! :) I will be back. I'm headed out on a fishing trip with my dad and won't be back to work until Oct. 5! We're going out to British Columbia and are going deep sea fishing. I'm So excited!
Talk to you all soon!
