WHAT? TALK ABOUT RANDOM!

weekend update with Kevin Nealand..........just kidding. kevin is still under contract with Saturday night live.........it seems my "one time" appearance fee wasn't enough to make him break the contract.

weekend update with .............myself.

"the" garden party of saturday night was a success. great food, good company........many many strings of lights! which is excellent to see each other in the dark! excellent weather! all in all good times.

feeling extremely exhausted the last two days. especially today!

picked up school supplies from the value drug mart...........if anyone wants to help sort this weekend or deliver monday....don't be shy about volunteering!

workout #7 tomorrow! being so tired makes that seem really scary! overall going well. i feel better.........

not much else to report! trying to think of funny things or points to ponder.........

funny thing 1. we were talking about dentists. how to find a good one. the other girl said "my mom needs a small handed dentist. she has a small mouth!" that made me laugh! can you imagine that conversation at the initial consult appointment? "and can i see your hands? now try and fit them into my mouth...........no you just won't do.....you don't fit!" how many child prodigies are dentists anyway??

sears christmas wish book is out! this is not funny, but makes me ponder as to why they need to do it so early??? but since it is i would like the body of the model on page 147 please. yes i have been a good girl this year Santa.

have any of you seen the youtube of the weight lifter whos elbow dislocated? so gross you have to watch!

and let me jump the manner line and give thanks for your comments ahead of time!!

as a side note... i have a detatched garage for rent. large. for parking or storage. $250/month

leave comment here if interested.

I FORGOT TO SAY....

another funny thing that happened saturday in calgary.....
a homeless man was walking to car windows while we were stopped at a stop light, he was holding a cardboard sign that said "TOO UGLY TO PROSTITUTE, AND TOO DUMB TO STEAL".............made me laugh enough to give him my whole cup of spare change i had in my truck!

MOMENTARY LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT

our kids deliver flyers for our neighbourhood. last week a notice came out that there was some other routes needing carriers...........we thought it might be a great way to save for a family vacation. we offered to do all the routes this weekend to "try it out". 12 routes.........1140 flyers!
that works out to 2.5 hours of three people rolling the flyers, one bagging the flyers, and one cooking supper, then helping roll. also equals one blister on my thumb from repetative elastic twists, and a damages pointer cuticle with added hangnail from all the papers.
it then worked out to 7 hours of delivering flyers to many different neighbourhoods in strathmore!
yes we did get our quota of exercise this weekend...........but really is it worth it?? NO!

in other news this weekend, jason and i spent the night at the Kinsington in, a late celebration for our anniversary. the room was nice, but the hotel was hosting it's first wedding. don't think they will do another one.
the highlight for us, as our window looked onto the terrace where all the festivities were going on, was when a fist fight broke out amongst the modest 40 guest wedding celebration!!

all in all a weekend to give us something to talk about!

CHANGES

well it has hit home so to speak. there is diabetes in my immediate family, my mom, and she got it in her thirties. i am in my thirties. she was very overweight, i am overweight. she is experiencing complications due to diabetes, extreme life changing consequences that i want to avoid. she is only 53. i am 35.

i hired a personal trainer, at first i wanted to keep it a secret, in case i fail. failure is not an option.
day one today............I WANT TO KILL THE TRAINER!
i fell flat on my face during the shuffling of the medicine ball, we had a laugh together. can only imagine what the fat looked like giggling down to the ground! as i refuse to look in the mirror while i "work out".
after the 45 min session, that seemed like 3 days, i felt "tired but good".............then we sat down to talk about nutrition. i am now afraid to eat!
worse than that i had the "one eye drunk stare" while he was talking due to dizziness setting in from my body screaming at me "what the hell was that for?"........... then i got clammy...he had to check my pulse. and just before leaving i had the "watering" of the jowls....yes the feeling of puking.............i held it down. falling and emergency pulse check was enough embarrassment for one day!
when i got home i somehow managed to get onto my bed, (a feat if you have ever seen my king size bed that stands up to my hips), and rest off the sicking feeling. it is almost 3 hours after my workout and i still feel the "woozy" effects!
my worst fear is i am back Wednesday morning. 7:30 am. i work right after. hope i can compose myself enough to not puke on my client!
GOD! i knew i was out of shape.............but this is disgusting!

will keep you posted. i refuse to know my weight..........the "number" is too much of a mind game for me. i will concentrate on how my body feels and percentage of body fat.
starting percentage of body fat.............almost too embarassed to say, but my life is preety much an open book, and does it chage the way i look to give it a number? NO!
33.3% body fat.
that made my wonder............can a person be 50% or more body fat? I'll have to ask.

first short term goal, besides living through the workout, is to be able to wear my wedding rings again. my didgets are too big to fit right now.

on another topic.........i am happy to say that i have the forth book to our vampire series "breaking dawn"..........and am still in love with Edward!
