It's Sunday night and back to work tomorrow. Had a good day today, started off with Glenda getting me out for a run, only the second one this week - right calf really acting up and very sore. Nice short run, 3.35km, went well nice to run with someone- thanks babe! Went out shoe shopping with Glenda, nice afternoon together. She got herself a great deal on a new pair of running shoes. I picked up a pair of compression sleeves - hope they help the calf problem. Felt better when I out them on will see when I run in them. Saturday went to London to hang with the kids. Saw Morgan's soccer game, he had a big rush most of the way up the field until he got tripped - great hustle buddy! After some looking around, ice cream and dinner, it was time for the bowling rematch from last week. We played 3 games with Connor winning the first, Rowan the second and Morgan won the third. In Morgan's winning game he bowled 215!!

So it's Friday. End of the week start of the weekend. Went for my first spinning class this morning at Gears in Mississauga. Liked it a lot; not sure that I worked completely as hard as I could have but certainly did sweat! One hour of speeding up, tightening the tension, backing off and doing it again - who wouldn't have fun with that?! The instructor leading the class was great and I would recommend it to anyone. Finished a book I was reading yesterday, Clive Cussler's Arctic Drift, a novel in his Dirk Pitt series. Some light reading to try to get back into the habit of reading. Started another book last night that I had picked up years ago after attending a training seminar by Brian Buffini. He listed a umber of books and one was Little Black Book of Connections, a book about making connections with people. Another quick read, will try to see what I can use in my current life, finished it too. Got pants I bought for Morgan shortened today. Heading to London tomorrow, going to watch Morgan play soccer and then hang out with the gang for a bit. Who knows, maybe a bowling rematch?

Outta sink here on my days.
Was in London on Sunday to hang out with the kids. Picked up Rowan a new winter jacket (pic on Facebook) and we went bowling (again pics there too).  Had a good time seeing them and I think everyone liked bowling, well Morgan looked a little lost when there was a come from behind victory in the last frame to put him in second (sorry bud)
Had my leg worked on yesterday and it felt great, still feels better today, not 100% for sure but definitely better.  Therapist said most likely a strain, take it easy, so..... no more running this week.  Have to look for some other ways to get moving.
Also got my "permanent" tooth put in yesterday.  When I got to the Dentist office they told me that it had been delivered last week to the Health Food Store next door, too bad, could have had it last week.  Oh well, looks just like my own, glad I no longer have a space.
Kaitlin is back home in B.C. and not liking the fact that we get winter here.  Sorry about that - from all of her pictures it looked like an amazing time in New Zealand, what a lucky girl!
Have a great day, more boring news soon!

So it's the first official weigh-in measurement and after 8 days on Isagenix i have lost 8 pounds. Pretty awesome and feel good overall. I figure that it won't change  at this rate going forward but that's ok, not looking to lose 30 pounds. Now for running, went out today for just over 7km, not pretty. Right calf is killing, almosst looks bruised - cant wait for tomorrow, getting it looked at, sure hope it helps! Got our itinery for the trip, into St. Maarten then sail to the British Virgin Islands - gonna be awesome!

And here it's Saturday and I didn't write anything yesterday. Friday I went out for a run, slower than usual pace but that's ok. Went out about noon, the sun was out ran through part of the Rattray Marsh again - saw some Cardinals (no pope). Last week on my Sunday night run I saw a big deer out in the middle of the road, not going to lie knowing I'm doing something healthy and then seeing the wildlife really makes for a great outing. Things are going really well with my Isagenix program very happy with the results so far. Heading to see the kids in London tomorrow.

So it's day three of being on the Isagenix program and things are getting better than the first day. Lots of headaches and crazy hungry on Monday (not having any coffee didn't help that I'm sure). Weight has dropped a reasonable amount (will wait until a week is up before I say). Made dinner for the two of us tonight (me and Glenda) and did a fair bit of checking and planning to make it in the allowable calorie intake. We had French Onion Soup and my version of Jambalaya and combined only just over 500 calories. Speaking of calories, went for an 8km run today and burned up 650 calories. Right calf was and is really tight so not a terribly smooth run. The day was starting to warm a bit (-11 with windchill)so all in all a great day to get out. The car spent most of the day in the shop - some wiring that needed fixing and a latch on the hood. Now the trunk light won't be on when it's closed and I'll be able to use the windshield washer fluid whenever I want! Despite the added expense it was a really great day, talk soon.

And it's the start of a new week. Last week I managed to get in four runs for just under 24km, a fair bit shy of where I need to be for the runs in March. Went out for a 4.5km run tonight, not smooth would be the best way to describe it for sure, but at least I went. Today was also another start - time to drop some extra weight I have been carrying around, it will help the running out as well (it's a little chicken and the egg though - I will be able to run further and faster when I'm lighter and I will be lighter once I have run more!) In an effort to help me lose more quickly and hopefully become healthier, I have began Isagenix today. Glenda has some friends that have had incredible results so why not? She is doing it too. Gotta look great for the trip!

So it's been a long time between blogs. It's a new year and with that means new plans maybe a new direction. Over the holidays Connor, Morgan and Rowan were all with me. We went up to the Manitoulin Island to visit my Mom, had a quiet week hanging out. We all spent New Year's Eve at home in Mississauga. Glenda and I did the 5km Resolution Run in Port Credit and then had pizza and celebrated the New Year with my kids and Glenda's son Cooper. I have decided it's time for a change, and by that I mean it's time to get back into running. I have registered for the Chilly Half in Burlington March 4th and the Around the Bay in Hamilton March 25th- two events I have completed some years ago. Also decided to get back to running as I want to get into better shape before the boat. In about six weeks we head to St. Martin to head out on a private yacht-the Slipstream. Can't wait! I will keep you posted on the running progress.
