Seasonal Issues.

This coming weekend I'm doing overtime on Friday night. Then on Saturday I plan to make a few recipes from my new Weight Watcher recipe books. A few new recipes for the winter are just what I need.

This time of year has proven to be a challenge for me already. December came is with 0 degree temperatures and I've already found myself more reluctant for my walks. Yesterday I bundled a big scarf around my face and it helped. (I don't really care what I look like on these walks, haha)

I need to figure out some home workouts that burn enough calories so that I don't feel guilty forgoing my walk. I so hate the treadmill so that might keep me motivated to keep them outside.

Its so amazing that in a few short months how much blogging has impacted my life. I can't believe the amazing bloggers out there and how much they actually care about me. Thanks so much everyone who reads, and comments to my blog.

Next weekend we are attending three holiday parties. The first one is Cole's entire family meeting for their annual Christmas Party. The second is one we are hosting for his brother Adam's 30th birthday party and the third is my friends Christmas Party. I'm going to do some baking for them and for the one we are hosting there is going to be veggies and healthy options :)

This time of year can be so frighting but I am making a promise to myself to not forgo my exercise, no matter what else happens. Do any of my fellow bloggers have any strategies they are planning?

Tis the Season~

On Friday I went to get weighed and only lost .8 of a pound. It can be frustrating to do everything right and not even make it to a whole pound but I know its in there somewhere just fighting to get out so I never lose heart anymore-like I said this bod will do what it will do-no point get discouraged its what it wants and I won't let it happen.


It turns out that with the American Thanksgiving we didn't have overtime at work this week due to having a little less volume. I was actually disappointed cause I wanted that cash for Xmas but what ya gonna do?


Cole's in the Kingswood gym here-I used to be too but quit to walk outside-just love the outdoors, keeps me more motivated. Anyways they had a Christmas Party for their members as an appreciation thing. Really nice. It had all kinds of bowling, laser tag, games, prizes, pizza, cake, etc.
Not the best pics and Cole even looks sad in his, haha~I wore my Beatles shirt that I haven't fit into in ages and put on some black nail polish-Looked a bit trendy for the first time in 12 years. Disappointing that I let my 20's go by being overweight-so many trends passed me by-Not my 30's though.


I hate to admit it but I actually like bowling shoes, I know I stand alone in this but I find them so cute. Not the best pic either but you get the idea :)

Anyways my friend who was supposed to be quitting ww ended up coming to the meeting on Friday. I was happy. She is also in the gym with Cole so they were at the party as well. She said she hates eating around me in case I judge her. I don't. I eat stuff too, especially on the weekends.

I had pizza and some cake. I was kinda surprised that for a gym's party they didn't provide any water (only pop-which I gave up over 4 years ago). I kinda thought they would have some veggie trays and stuff. There I go assuming stuff-never assume, go prepared.

Today I went for my morning walk and it was raining and so cold. When I came home we had sort of a lazy day and then in the late afternoon we had some Subway and went to the Christmas Parade. I worked at Subway for 4 years and I could eat it every day-love it so much. Here's a pic of me and Cole freezing our butts off at the Christmas Parade-it was so cold we didn't even stick around for the big guy.For a couple of months now I've been seeing advertisements for these mugs from Tim Horton's, only $3.99 and obviously reusable. So pretty, so green. I went to all the Tim's here and couldn't get one. I thought I was destined to walk this earth without one and then today I finally found one~ Yah.

Cole likes that its the little things that make me happy and so do I. Anyways I have to go get prepared for another week. Hopefully we'll have a lazy weekend next week with my overtime, on the 12th we have 3 parties and one of them we are hosting. So busy-but fun~

Disappointment

My friend that just started going to ww like two months ago is quitting til after the new year. I'm really disappointed, especially since we go together and it was fun. She said with all the Xmas parties and stuff but she was doing so well the last few weeks. We were going to motivate each other.

What a total bummer. Luckily for me I started this journey by myself and made it a point to not need anyone to help me get to my goal. When I walk-its by myself, I blog by myself, and prepare my meals by myself. In the past when I needed a partner to motivate me, I failed.

This is not to say that I won't miss having her at my meetings, I will. It sucks too that in January I have to find a new meeting since I'll be working morning.

Well off to work I go to start another work week. Have a great week to all my bloggies.
