Cloud 9

Hey everyone!

I know it's been some time since I've last posted but I've had a lot going on in my life and didn't have time to post. Last Thursday I left for the city for a doctor's appointment and I ended up staying until Monday afternoon. I had a wonderful and much needed visit with my little sister and my aunt. When I got home I was exhausted and completely worn out from my week and I just wanted to shower and go to bed. I woke up with a completely different mind set on life and I can't explain how happy I have been this passed week. Hence why I titled this post "cloud 9".

I've dropped 11lbs in the last 3 weeks and I'm so incredibly proud of myself! I have been walking 5-8 miles a day for the last 3 weeks (except 5 days in the city) and eating the best I can (again, except 5 days in the city). I've quit smoking unless my brother comes around or I'm stressed over the Leafs' game. So I'll say I have 2 smokes a week - which is nothing! My eating habits are extraordinarily different than they were a month ago. For instance, today I'm having a veggie platter with roasted red pepper hummus and 2 deviled eggs but instead of mayo I'm using three cheese ranch dressing :) ..but just enough!

I left out that I had 1 1/2 cups of potato leek soup and a croissant and a glass of chocolate milk. I try to eat a lot during the day. Apparently I don't eat enough calories? I'm supposed to eat just over 1600! Craziness! That will never happen lol.

I went for a casual walk this morning with my neighbours but not near as long as I usually walk and not at the normal pace I usually walk either. I'm going to try and find a yoga routine today that I can do once a week on the days where I take a break from my walks. I've also been doing sit ups, push ups, bench presses and squats. Also, I'm going to start running up and down my stairs every day for 10 minutes to work out my butt!

I found this picture today and it made me miss my long hair so much! Hopefully it all grows back and then some by summertime!


Have a great weekend everyone! I'll post on Monday! 

Love, Happiness and Inspiration always,
