A Beautiful Warm Weekend

We had a bit of a warm spell hit us the past few days and I managed to enjoy some of it.  I did not try to run outside yet as it is WAY too slippery at the moment for me.  So I ran on the hamstermill instead. :D

My mom is doing way better and the same with my grandmother.  I have been over to both places the past couple of days visiting and my mom really wanted my son to stay over night on Saturday night so I let him.  It was nice so that my son could see that his nanna was OK and it made him feel better.

Hubby and I took advantage of not having my son around and went to the thriller 'The Uninvited' on Saturday night.

I still have been pretty busy and trying to freshen up on my sign language skills as some of my team mates at work are taking level 1 of sign language and I am practicing with them.  Man I can not believe how much you lose of it when you don't use it anymore! lol I almost feel like a beginner all over again. :D

Food wise things are going really well and I definitely need to get my rings adjusted here.  They are getting really loose.  I am scared I am going to lose them anytime here.

Well just a quick note here again this morning and will read up on everyone tonight.  Hopefully some of you won't be snowed in like they say in the news!

OK...

So here it goes.

First of all, around x-mas time it was a schmozel at work and everyone was so busy and getting sick.  I was trying to arrange my son's early x-mas because he was heading out to his biological dad's for x-mas this year.  So that went ok in the end.  I ended up getting really sick the day after school ended and I finally broke my fever on boxing day.  The rest of the time I was trying to get better so all plans to go thru my house kinda went down hill.  The only thing I managed to do was get rid of 7 huge garbage bags of clothes! Six were mine and one was my son's.  Towards the end of the holiday before school started, my husky, Tala, started to cry and things got really bad and she acted like she was dying or something.  So we took her in and they didn't know if it was arthritis (she's 3.5 yrs), a growth, or a fracture.  They did blood tests also and put her on pain killers and anti-inflamatories.  I just took her back today for a month follow up and more x-rays to see if they could figure things out.  She, in the mean time was back in good health and up to her hyper self.  The x-rays finally showed that she had fractured her leg last month.  So, no more meds, thankfully and just another 4-6 weeks of light activity and to lose more weight.  I really did not think she was over weight...

My son got pretty sick one week there, then me for the next week, and last week my mom had a heart attack (a few other things go with that one that is just to complicated to get in to... let's just say that I have contacted Mental Health about the matter).  That same day my grandmother fell and broke her hip and had to have her hip replaced.  This Monday, my aunt's father had a heart attack and was transferred here to the city.

I have been doing really well otherwise and just had to miss a couple of days of work to get things sorted out on Monday and Tuesday here.

Running has been there but not as much as I had hoped with everything that has gone on.  Cardio wise things are still good so I hope now that things have settled I can get back on schedule my plans and goals for this year.

Eating wise I have never felt better and am still pretty happy with the decision I have made.  In fact I have never felt healthier than I do now.

I have tried my best to catch up with everyone and if I haven't yet, please bear with me. lol There is tonnes of reading to do! :D  It really motivates me to read about everyone's progress in all areas of their lives.

Well, that's it for now in a nut shell.

Until tomorrow, cheers!

Heh Everyone!

Yes I have been MIA for the last while and some are good reasons and some are not...

Great news is that I am now 129 lbs and feeling WONDERFUL!!! :D I am still doing the same eating plan and quite honestly I have cheated twice and I knew I learned a lesson about how certain foods made me feel icky after but just had to do it again and felt utterly disgusting! lol So I know this eating plan for me.

And for my new reader... ;) Thank you for your comments and I am glad you found some inspiration to find your own eating plan that works for you. You go girl! You are doing a wonderful job. I believe I do have a couple of clean eating books around and just LOVE them! There is also a magazine I have picked up on this as well.

Well, I am off to get ready for work here and life has finally gave me some time to get back blogging. I will fill everyone in here later.

Take care and I am excited to catch up with everyone!

Cheers!
