I'm still here...

I haven't been posting because i'm waiting for my great news to be finalized before i announce it. Well anyway, i'm buying a house. Well, i'm buying a house back. i sold it to my sister about 5 years ago because she had a child and i didn't think that i was going to have any kids and i thought that she would want the security. Anyhow, i now have a 2 year old and she lives in Canada, so i'm buying my house back! i only i didn't live in the house for about 6 months and have been living here since (paying rent) so it feels great to have my home back.

the details should be finalized in the next 2 weeks or so. Apparently we would have signed by now, but our lawyer went on vacation a week ago. Of course we are not important to be notified about her 2 week vacation. but, whatever... my mom and i are planning renovations and we're so excited about them so we haven't really been focused on the when and where of the final sale.

Soooooo, that's my great news :-))

Day 1 of Wk 2

okay, so in honour of the beginning of week 2 I picked up my pedal bike from the store.

The ride home took me TWO HOURS (it should have taken one) but I stopped and visited my uncle at his welding shop and smelled the roses and sat off once to read a magazine :-)) Last time I checked, it's the amount to time that you spend in active mode that counts, and that didn't change just because i took my own sweet time! And trust me, my heart was sure getting a workout as I went 1/2 mile an hour across the causeway LOL

That was fun. Tomorrow i'm going to work on setting foot into the gym that I joined last week...

My boogey is still overseas and i'm ready for her to come back. The other pedal bike already has a child carrier, so she's my copilot, not an excuse to drive everywhere.

Day 7!

ok, so i'm on day 7 of my "diet". not really a diet, more of a no-longer-eating-anything-you-want phase of my life. i'm heading into the clean eating realm: whole grains, veggies, fruit for snacks. i'm doing this gradually, i just started with cutting out the junk food this past week and eating less carbs with my meals. but i eat carbs as a snack, like crackets and cheese. but when i eat carbs for lunch, it makes the rest of my day drag.

this morning feels like a turning point. i woke up feeling "lighter". i'm not going to get onto the scale to avoid disappointment, but i do feel a change. i've joined the gym also, so now i just have to go...

i bought a new pedal bike yesterday too! now i just have to pick it up from the store ;-)
