It's finally really noticeable!

First my Mom commented on it... today my colleague from the gym commented on it. The fact that I'm loosing weight is really beginning to get noticed! (Honestly, I really appreciate when someone comments on anything of mine really... because since the beginning of time I've been the middle child, and if you are a middle child you know exactly what I am talking about! We are [or feel like] the forgotten ones... invisible almost!) I feel like I'm not so forgotten anymore! :)

My Tuesday weigh-ins are always BETTER then my Monday weigh-ins, so I'll wait till tomorrow to post any numbers... so far it looks like I'm on track though. :) I tried really hard to stay with my program while I was in Edmonton for Father's Day weekend. I think for the most part I did well... no obvious cheats, no substantial bread or pasta... I stayed within my caloric range all 3 days and I even packed some healthy foods with me, so they wouldn't go bad in my fridge while I was gone! I was planning on making a trip to the gorcery store once I arrived but, my mom's fridge was LOADED so there was no room to put anything even if I wanted to! AHHH!

That's about it... back to work!

Beading Frenzy!

This past weekend was really good, even despite my lingering cold.

Friday was my corporate Christmas party.
Here's a pic of Collin and I before the event got underway. (So cute! lol)

It was a good time, as always! Unfortunately Collin started not feeling very well after dinner, so we left earlier then I'd hoped... oh well, there's always next year! I was just stoked that I got to wear my new dress! It looked awesome!

Saturday I had to get up early (well, not really early, but early enough after drinking the night before) to teach Yoga. It was really tough, because when I woke up my cold was in full effect! Ugh! (It still hasn't really gone away. :( So much for my love affair with Echinachea! LOL) But Saturday night I had lots of time for beading, and I whipped up a few fun things! Have a look at my Flickr beading photo set for the photos.

Today, Collin and I went Christmas shopping. (Which I really wasn't looking forward to...) But to my surprise there were only a few stupid people out shopping today, and we got almost EVERYTHING we needed by 4:00PM! (WOOT! Power shopping!) And I absolutely LOVE the gift I got for my nephew... He's gonna love, love, LOVE it! (And well, if he doesn't love it, I'll surely keep it! hahaha)

T minus 6 days to Nanaimo!!! Can't wait to see my Island Family!

Bridal Shower Weekend

I drove up to Edmonton on Friday for my cousin Bradley's Bridal shower. She was very happy about the amount of people that came and it was a really fun time! It was nice to see Bradley. She's looking good (as usual) and pretty excited to get her family started! (She said one of the first things she wants to do after she get's married is start having kids!) She's only 25 so I was kinda shocked by her attitude towards that, but I guess everyone's got their own ideas about their future! Her fiance is in school to become a doctor, so I'm sure they'll be set for life once he's done his schooling. Lucky Girl! :)
