Stayed the same : (

Well I stayed the same this week, which I guess isn't too bad. Atleast it's not a gain!

I'm still feeling down probably because of the weather, work and a very good friend moving away. It's probably going to be a huge benefit for them to move but I'm still sad about it.

On a positive note---I'm looking into going back to school for an EA(educational assistant). I looked into it a few years ago but the pay wasn't worth me leaving my current job for. Now EA's must have certification and the pay has gone up too!! It's totally worth it now! I can take the course part-time in Guelph which is only 30 mins away. Chris is being really supportive about this--he knows I've been thinking about a career change and that I analyze things to DEATH before I do anything!! I've got some info being sent to me so I'll know abit more about fees and timelines hopefully next week.

I'm making my braised rib recipe again....it was sooooooooooo good! We may have another couple over for dinner on Sunday. I told Chris I'm not missing bellydance class so it'll have to be an early dinner--5:30 and that I'll leave @6:30. They have a 7 week old baby so I'm sure they'll be leaving around the same time. The husband is a good friend who has offered to do the electrical stuff in our garage( he's licensed), her I'm not too fussy on. She's a bit weird and doesn't like to stay too long anywhere they go.
Oh Well!

I don't usually do this.....

but I had to post again today! The new recipes I made on the weekend ROCKED!! I went to bellydancing on Sunday and I have to make up a routine to perform within the next 3 months!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Actually, I'm kind of excited to do this. I just have to decide between 2 songs which is proving harder than I thought.

I had my physical this morning--it didn't go too badly. I just get so worked up about the PAP smear and the needles.......I actually fell asleep after I got home!
Anyway, I'll post again on Friday/Saturday, hopefully I'm down!

I hate this weather.......

Friday weigh in----down 1lb!! WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!

I'm feeling a little sad--it's probably a combination of the weather and work, but I just feel like I should go back to bed--ALL THE TIME.
Work is work, I feel like I need a change. A good friend is probably moving away so getting together is going to be less and less. I've known this woman for 15 years and I'm going to miss our get togethers! The positive is that visits will have to be over a weekend because of the drive.
I'm making something new for dinner tonight--Short Ribs w/ Taglietelle pasta and for dessert, Chocolate Zabaglione w/ strawberries. Both are from Giada deLaurentis from the food network. I like her recipes and I'm using my family as ginuea pigs--yeah!

I'm going for a physical on Monday--so NOT my favourite thing--and I have to fast so I'm guessing I'm having blood work done as well. I HATE NEEDLES--my feet actually sweat when I have bloodwork. I'll let you know how it goes.........

Down another lb!!

I weighed myself yesterday and I was down!! YAY FOR ME!!

I was getting a little depressed by all this snow/cold weather and no sunshine but I've perked up now--it's Saturday!!! I had to leave work early on Thursday, my daughter, Shannon, was sick. I'd only been there for an hour when I got the call. I was actually relieved to be leaving because the office manager had already started on about her pains. Truth be told--I wanted to call in sick that day!! Funny how things work eh? Anyway, I think she had the flu so she basically vegged on the couch all day. She's back to her 7 going on 16 self now, wanting to go to both birthday parties this weekend! This kid has a better social life than I do!

Next Friday, my friend and I are going to a "Girls Night Out" party at a local restaurant here in Erin. It's a $10 cover charge which includes a specialty martini from their martini menu and an appetizer. There's also someone there who'll be doing temporary tattoos and we've both been thinking about getting one so we'll get to see what'll look like!

I can't wait!!

3rd times a charm!

I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was down 2lbs!! I think doing those X Litres in 30 mins challenges that Lisa69 usually starts, really helped. I would do them at work and it helped.

This week has been a little rough, I actually wanted to call in sick on Tuesday but I didn't : ) I was also a little depressed about having put out $1250 int he last 3 weeks on my van and the cat. Both are much better now though so it was worth it. Then on Wednesday night, Chris(DH) told me he could see that I've lost weight!! It made feel so good. I don't think you can really see that I've lost 4lbs but I wasn't about to argue!!

I bought more WW frozen dinners and the little carrot, lemon cakes. The carrot cakes are horrible but the lemon ones are pretty good. I still prefer those frozen chocolate cakes at 4 points each.

On a positive note, we discovered our almost 5 yr old son can read!! We read to him regularly and he usually just sits and listens or points out a funny picture. He started reading the story with me this time! Then I asked him to read a sentence and HE DID!!!
It makes you realize it's the little things that really matter.
