Time...

So much time has already gone by. Christmas this year was different, yet relaxing. My dad came up for a visit. It was nice to have him up for x-mas made it feel more like home. Dinner was very yummy and the people were so much fun! We had turkey, potatos, veggies, cranberry sauce, buns, meatballs, salad, and many more goodies! The holidays seemed to fly by!

Dad and I came back to Winnipeg together just before New years! I headed out to the cabin for New years. Watched some hockey, ate some good food and enjoyed everyones company!

The 2 weeks to follow were, lets just say not at all what I came home for. Understanding that a lot has changed since Thanksgiving. However I did not come home to get tied up in foolish childish games. I'm not saying I know it all because I don't but RESPECT is a pretty simple word to follow. Kinda sad to come home and not be able to have the entire family in one room without someone saying something wrong or someone taking something the wrong way. Did we all loose the meaning of family? Hopefully one day, when its not to late everyone will realize just how much we mean to eachother.

Wedding invites are all printed! Started putting them all together, I can honestly say that i love them! Took some fonts, sizing, twisting and turning but we managed to come up with an awesome design! Stay tuned!
We also got a couple more things booked for the big day, i'm starting to get excited!

9 days left in the city then back to reality, life.

hm...soo

hm...well...DAY 1 Blog never really went anywhere :-(.
But i can report that i have been working out...noticing a difference...hmm..nope. but i know it takes time.
Thats all for now.

Day 1

November 25, 2009

I figured if I start writing about my challenge it will motivate me to keep on track and maybe inspire some of you to jump on the fitness train.

We finally got our elliptical we bought awhile ago. Today was my first day using it, I started with 20 mins. Its crazy how out of shape I really am. I never ‘loved’ my body but I never hated it. It was just one of those things, I was ‘comfortable’. I’m not going to call this my new years resolution, its just something simply that im doing for myself. To get fit, feel good, and love myself. I want to wake up and look in the mirros and say that I love myself again. I'm going to start with 20min-25mins a day for the next week, from there I will increase to 30mins and we will see where this road leads us! Wish me luck, i'm gonna need it!
