60 days....

Two months until Black Friday shopping.  Two weeks into my competition and I haven’t lost any weight.  My friend who is competing with me is into pants she bought two years ago!  Maybe there is something to be said about cheating….  Just kidding!  However, I AM going to do this using Canada’s Food Guide and no help from fancy products.

A few posts ago, I mentioned my goal list and what I planned to accomplish by the end of this year. By yesterday, I only had one item left on my list; The Terry Fox Run.

Simple Concept, pfft!

I read somewhere that “losing weight is a simple concept.”  Once I calmed down and stopped cursing the skinny person that obviously thought this brilliant idea up, I realized, that technically, it is a simple CONCEPT:

Game on!

 A friend of mine goes Black Friday shopping with me every year.  I was telling her that my (newest) goal is to lose 15 pounds by then so I can get a new outfit and it turns out, she’s interested in doing the same.

Back to School (and routine, yay)

It’s back to school time and to me that means back to routines and crazy busy schedules.  This does have its benefits: less time to think of eating and less time to actually eat.  I find that when I have too much time on my hands (i.e.: boredom) at home, I tend to eat.  To alleviate this problem, I will be staying at work (or doing errands) until 3:00 and then going home to see the kids and get dinner ready and then go where ever that night’s practice/game/lesson is.
