Good morning ladies,

We won our first volleyball game of the season! Unfortunately, the other team wasn't very good but hey, it is still a win! None of us are all that good either, but we all try hard and it is a lot of fun. My whole body is sore today from the last few days of working out. I definitely pushed myself hard and my body is telling me that it's working.

My boyfriend made us a very healthy meal last night. Tilapia and a big kale/spinach salad. We also had a 1/2 baguette which we dipped in some spicy oil. It was really nice. I was a bit hungry before volleyball but decided against snacking and was happy with my decision.

Today should be a short day at work. We have Monday off as a holiday, so we are having a lunch meeting and then we all expect our Chief of Staff to let us leave soon after. I need to go to the mall and pick up a present for my best friend and then I'll head home. I'm trying to convince my bf that we should drive 2hrs to watch his son play t-ball tonight. 2 hrs isn't that bad, except an hour later we will jump in the car and drive another 2 hours. We will see what he says, otherwise we are meeting his ex and Caleb at 7:30pm about an hour from here.

Today's Intake:

B- Cereal + coffee + a banana [X]

S- Yogurt [  ]

L- Hot dog + kale/spinach salad + baby carrots [  ]

S- Apple + almonds [  ]

D- TBD

Have a great weekend!!! xo

Good morning ladies,

What an insanely busy week. I didn't get to run after work yesterday because I had to meet up with the bridesmaids to work on the glasses for the bachelorette party. They turned out awesome!! I should have taken a photo but I forgot. We also bought a bunch of tank tops for one of the days of the trip. They are black and say "You Only Live Once" on the front and the brides tank top is pink and we are going to stencil 'Bride" on there. We aren't wearing matching outfits to go out at night but we will make the Bride wear a sash or something.

Tonight after work I'm heading to the gym to do the stair climber and weights then off to dinner with my dad and bf.

Check out this link and fast forward to the 34 minute mark and a few seconds later my boss is interviewed by Amanda Lang.

Tomorrow night I start my volleyball season, very excited!!

Here is another video link you should check out. It is a reminder to everyone that you are in charge and in control of how you think, so the everyday mundane annoying routines can either get you down or you can glide through life in almost complete happiness if you simply choose to not let the little things get to you. I love it.

126lbs (Not bad but really want to be closer to 120 and stay there!)

Good morning ladies,

Hope you all had a nice weekend. I got home from Calgary late Friday night, so that was a write-off. Just hung out with my hunnie and went to bed. Saturday morning my plan was to get up and run but the weather was nasty out and I just needed some extra sleep, so I stayed in bed for a bit. Then I headed off to my semi-annual hair appointment  with my best friend (I'm so bad, I only get my hair cut twice a year, once in May and once in November). After that we went to Winners, then lunch, then DQ to grab some treats for my friend's mother-in-law, then we stopped by her parents house and then we chilled at her place for a bit. It was a really nice day with my best friend. We don't hang out that much just the two of us anymore, so it was a nice change. 

Saturday night my bf and I went for dinner at a nice Greek restaurant. After dinner we went to a pub and met up with a friend that was visiting from out of town. My poor boyfriend had to be up at 5am the next day for work, but he was a good sport and came out with me to see my friend. It meant a lot to me. He is such an amazing man!!

Here is a picture from Saturday night.

Sunday was Mother's Day. My sister and I took my mom for brunch, it was really nice. My mom can be a bit tightly wound, but everything went really nicely. My mother is by far my best friend in the world but she is a bit of a negative nancy, which makes holidays a bit tense sometimes. She said no presents as long as we agreed to help with her garden, but we still got her a Chapter's gift card and a big potted plant. She was really surprised and happy.

We are cat-sitting my mom's cat because she traveled all last week for work and left again yesterday for another week. Daisy was initially not very happy to be at our place, but now her and Charlie are constantly playing. I think she is going to be sad when she leaves. Here's a cute picture of her curled up between my legs.

Here is a picture from this morning. For the most part I'm happy with my body but I still feel like my legs are big and my arms could be more toned. I'm excited to work out today. I find I get down on myself when I'm not staying active and this past week I didn't workout as much as I'd like. I really need to stay focused and get back in to working out 5 days a week, not only is it good for my body but it is needed mentally!!

Today's Intake:

B- Coffee + 1 egg + 1 banana [X]

S- A small grapefruit [  ]

L- Leftover chicken + baby carrots (+ tuna if still hungry) [  ]

S- Almonds [  ]

D- Shawarma or salad from Wendy's [  ]

Have a great day ladies!! Hope you all had a chance to spend some quality time with your moms over the weekend and Happy Mother's Day to any moms that may read this blog. xo
