Is it Saturday????

all day i have thought it was saturday...but it's friday...i'm still in holiday mode - i really need to keep nevin in his days of the week bibs - it's the only way i'll know what day it is...

what a week it has been...

on friday we drove down to my parents - which was a blast...being at my folks - not the drive... on saturday we went to a bbq at one of brian's aunt...it was great - the food was amazing, the conversation was great...there was his one man there who's one calf was the size of two of my thighs...it was gross...but on the plus side of things i was the thinnest young one there...

sunday we stayed around my parents and played with the kids...monday - well we were planning on going to wonderland, but with the rain we decided to go to chuck e cheese...man that was the most fun i have had in a long time...lisa was there - and she looks great (as usual)....and we had a great discussion about the competition going on between the two of us...she thinks it is funny that i'm trying to compete with her, when the whole reason that she is as fit as she is, is because of me..

canada day was amazing, we went down town and spent 5 hours walking around and seeing all the stuff and people..

i gained 2 pounds - which is not going to make or break my loss - it's just a set back...to help me out, i have found a web site which tracks your calorie intake and your activity calories burnt.. the problem is that it is different from my points...so i sat through a lecture from brian explaining how i have to go with ww because they not only look at the calories, but they take into account the fiber and fat - and that i'm losing - maybe not at the crazy loss as before - but the way that i am losing now, with the activity level that i have, it will be easier to maintain when i get to my goal...

so i have been running really well - wednesday i ran 5.5k in 48mins, and today i ran 6k in 50min - i'm getting there...

priya is asleep at my in law's so i hope brian and i have a full night sleep...

hope everyone has a healthy day tomorrow...i'm hoping to post some new photos soon...

RIP MJ

i think i'm in a bit of shock...is that okay that i don't know mj, but his music was so inspirational and influential to me and my life...wow - i can't believe that he's gone....

this has been a really long week...so everything was clear with nevin's x-rays....but he came down with a fever last wednesday and on saturday it still hadn't gone, and he started to get red spots all over his face and legs...i took him to the hospital as the dr couldn't do anything else for him, and they thought it was chicken pox...turns out that it wasn't chicken pox but just a virus...so i have spent the last two weeks trying to keep him calm and relaxed through his not eating or drinking, being cranky and irritable - so hence the non blogging...

tomorrow we are heading to makham for a few days...saturday is a bbq and monday is canada's wonderland...man am i excited about that...

btw - i still have 1/2 a pound till i hit my 3o pound mark...i'll get there...

I love my garden

i spent all day out in the sun on sunday planting a bunch of different things...geraniums, marigolds and a bunch of other things that i have no idea what they are...they look good and fit in with the amount of sun that i have...soon i'll be able to enjoy my lettuce and i'm patiently waiting for my tomatoes...next year i'm going to go for the hanging cherry tomatoes...they grow quicker....

so saturday was great...priya had her 2k race and did great...she placed 26 out of 35...check out the stats and photos...

we followed that up with gymnastics, a family fun day - put on my the cardinal creek associate (which is our local neighbourhood association) and drinks at the neighbours...i ran/walked about 8K and had a blast...you already know how sunday went...but all this changed on monday...

so monday i woke up feeling awful and so did brian...i was happy that we already had an appointment with the dr, turns out it's just a cold for both of us...nevin on the hand...well it turns out the cough that started after last wednesday's appointment is probably asthma - but she listened to his lungs and sent him to get x-rays done...she said "go today and i'll see you next week"...i'm probably reading too much into this...right...but i'm worried...we have an appointment on monday so we';ll see what they say...i can't think about it...if it's anything serious then they'll call earlier...

okay gotta' go and watch i'm a celebrity get me outta' here...i know...i know...

still one left

i took priya and nevin to the dr yesterday...nevin has a touch of strep and priya just has a cold, but because of her asthma her cough is 10x worse...so we are back on the inhallers...

after this crazy week i didn't gain anything...i didn't lose - but i didn't gain..yippee!!! so i am dropping my points from 26 a day to 24 day...this may help increase my loss, and since i'm not nursing as much as before, i don't see why i need the extra 5 points a day...

today is biceps, chest and shoulders...meaning, pull-ups...yippee...

busy...busy...busy

the past week has been really busy...thursday i went for my WI and was down 0.5lbs - so only one left till i hit 30 - i don't think i'll make that this week - after i tell you about the week you will understand...

so saturday we had a garage sale...it was great - we started to set up at around 7am, kim decided to sell a few things as well, so we had her helping...by 7:30 we had our first few customers...nothing sold, but at least it was a start...by the time we packed up at 1 we sold a bunch of the bigger things and made close to $200 - which is all but gone now...following a several hour nap taken by all four of us, we headed over for pulled pork and cake at kim's to celebrate pat's birthday...btw these are our neighbours and nathan and noah's parents...it was great...i had a lot of fun...priya missed gymnastics - again...i think she's only gone to 3 classes this session...oh well...

sunday was swimming, which went of amazingly well..both kids were like fishes and listened really well, so after bathing them we packed them in the car headed off the canadian tire to reinvest the garage sale earnings back into the house...we purchased a couple of new water hoses, nozzles, a rake kit for priya, and some of those hose holder-upper thingys...after gardening (following nap time) we played for a little bit with nathan...

monday...well monday was fun...i was planning on volunteering at priya's school as they were taking a trip to the museum..but she woke up with a really nasty cough and cold...and the last thing i wanted to do was take her to a museum with a bunch of other parents staring and wondering why i didn't leave her home - and/or if she has the swine flu...so we rented a couple of movies, had popcorn and fruit popsicles and went to the park...both kids were amazing...i went for a run last night - made about 8K in 1:10...but it was a really tough run...

today we sent priya to daycare, but nevin is running a 101 temp and i'm not feeling too well..man oh man...what fun...

so about the whole WI this week...saturday priya put out a table with chocolate chip and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and asked for donations for when i do the CIBC Run for the Cure for breast cancer research...and as i was our for about 7 hours in the sun and hungry...well i have a daily limit of 26 points to eat (i'm still nursing 3 times a day) and i had a total of 41 points in cookies alone on saturday...up went way over my limit...then monday we ordered the works... why - cause i was hungry...so we'll see how things go...

right now i'm in bed - brian's at work - it's 9:40pm and priya is asleep beside me...man i have some cute kids...

i hope tomorrow is a healthy day for everyone...

We have a walker

nevin is now taking 3-8 steps at a time...he's not officially a walker - but he's getting there...

i am having issues again today...i don't know why i can't stop this, but maybe it's the same thing that others are going through, it would be nice to know i'm not alone...first nevin doesn't want to nurse too much in the morning, so my breast hurts...i don't want to wear a bra, but i know i have to...otherwise i'll look like the teacher in southpark...i know my weight is up as i'm full, and bloated.. so we'll see what happens tomorrow..

but the whole reason that i'm having "issues" is that a certain sil posted photos from her trip to the south and she's wearing a bikini..man does she look good...i mean you would think that she was a model...i know that things are totally different for me, and that she may look good, but probably couldn't run 10k...but that doesn't mean anything...i want to look like that....i want to wear a bikini - or know that if i wanted to i could and look damn good...i want people to say - you don't look like you have two kids...

i guess i just have to get back on the p90x program...i started week 5 again - yesterday was triceps, shoulders and chest...so lots of push ups and weights...i aslo ran 5k (42min, but i walked the last k)...today is plyometrics...i don't mind it, as long as i have the engery...i will do it...

maybe someone can answer this for me...why do i always have to justify myself...why can't i just be satisfied with saying...i ran 5k last night...why do i have to justify the time...i should be proud of the fact that i did it...but i'm just not...i'm just not happy with that time...UUUUUGGGGGGG

any advice/help would be nice...

long run

i am proud of myself...10k in 1:22 - which is the first time i have run a 10k in over three years, and i ran over 1:10 without a break...my plan is to run 10k x3 a week and try to get under 1:15 - i think i can do it...
