It's hard not to think about what our summer is going to be like.  Therefore I had to post this



Obviously it's still cold, yucky and blah here, but we're headed to Dominican on Saturday.  I won't be around all next week for obvious reasons but I'll have plenty of pictures to post when I get back.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I took my measurements the other night and have lost about 5 inches total!  I measure my bust, waist, hips, thighs, and arms.   I don't have the exact measurements since I'm at work but I can post them later.

I've got a funny story though, as I was measuring my thigh, I thought WOW 6.5 inches!!! That's amazing, but wait! Why don't my jeans fit different and how the hell did I start with a 35.5 inch thigh!!!  I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote the numbers down the initial time but obviously I got it wrong.  So I don't have an accurate measurement of my thigh but none the less, I think 5 inches is pretty darn good so far! :)

I mentioned in my post yesterday that I worked all weekend at painting my bedroom. Well it was more like a couple hours here and there and I'm still not complete because  we choose one of the worst colours to actually paint on the wall and needs at least 8 hours in between each coat, and the first coat goes on really bad - blah, it sucked...but anyway the reason for this post..

I've had a huge pouring in of e-mail asking about the colours we choose, I'm totally kidding not a single person e-mailed me, but it sounded good right?

Anyway, just for the record here are the colour's and their names

Sensible Hue - it's actually a bit more creamy than it is white like the picture shows.  It'll be the the 3 walls around the bed
Red Brick - this colour is the colour behind our bed.  It was the colour that was such a pain to paint on and still might actually need a 3rd coat!
Belgian Sweet - the brownish colour is actually going to be the en suite, we haven't bought the paint yet which is why I didn't cross that off my list of 101 things to do.  Once the bedroom is complete the en suite is next! :)


Anyway, have a great Tuesday and I'll be back later to update my weight and add a new weekly picture to the slide show on the right.

I'm quite happy with my progress of this list so far.  I'm pretty sure there are a few on there that won't be complete just because I wasn't really thinking about dates as I was actually writing it, but I'll continue working away on it.

Since my last update I've been able to complete 2 things of my list

#32 Paint my bedroom - This still isn't completely complete, I still have a couple more walls to do but I have purchased the paint, and painted  the one wall.  Which by the way was a dark red/rust colour.  What a pain that was to paint.  I think I'll still have a few touch up's to do to make sure everything is covered.

#35 Drink 8 glasses of water a day for a week - This was really easy for me once I started on this weight loss adventure.  Drinking the water really helps me not eat as much as I would normally so it's been super easy for me to complete and keep doing.

That's it for now.

And I'm excited!!! Here in - is it an Ontario thing or a Canada thing?  Humm...okay well here, right here where I live there's a day called Family Day.  It's on Monday and I'm really looking forward to it.  I love to have the extra day on the weekend to stay at home with my little girl and get extra snuggles in bed in the morning and lots of playing. It's just great!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Monday off, I'm looking forward to a short week, and I'm looking forward to Saturday of next week.  Why you may ask?  Well because we are headed to the bright bright bright sunshiny Dominican Republic! Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!  (My original post about our trip is here)

It'll be a great time!  I can't wait to go swimming, sand castle building, sun tanning, and exploring!  It'll be a blast!  Hannah of course has no idea what's ging on but she's really enjoyed helping me pack/unpack, go sandal shopping and trying on all of her summer clothes to make sure they fit.

Did I mention that I can't wait until Hannah is a little older and we can spend all of Daddy's money at the mall shop and get our hair, nails, and toes done!  She is such a little girl...I mean girly girl.  She LOVES to dress up, get her nails painted, try on shoes, buy shoes, try on clothes, etc.  It's amazing!  she's a lot like her mommy in that sense!  Daddy better hang on to those credit cards because this could be trouble!

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to both Family day (Monday) and our trip.  We're hoping that Monday we can find something fun to do as a family.  I'm thinking maybe a local children's museum might be fun.  That way she can run around and explore and we can still be together.

I've been still working my butt off at the gym.  I'm still doing the run/walk program from Women's health.  I probably haven't been doing it as much as I should be sometimes it's only 2 times a week I make it to the gym but I'm trying.

My last run/walk was (I think this is it, and I can't access my training program online for some reason, I'll get that straightened out then I'll re-post if it is incorrect)

2 minutes walk at incline 1.0% speed 3.5
1 minute run at incline 1.0% speed 4.5
1 minute walk at incline 1.0% speed 3.3
1 minute run at incline 1.0% speed 4.5
