Reading is important to me. It’s something we’ve tried to instill in our children from early on. We’ve always read to our kids since they were very little. Before they could even fully comprehend what was happening. Jen still reads all the time to the young kids she cares for. One thing I’m bad forContinue reading “Reading, Setting an Example”

Week Four Summary
This has been a rough week. Typically I check in on the scales to see how I’m doing throughout the week to make sure I’m on the right track. This week when I checked in I was actually up a considerable amount. This had me feeling very down and unmotivated. Up until that point inContinue reading “Week Four Summary”
Needed a Win
I’ve been struggling this week and today I just needed a win. About a month ago I set a goal on Runkeeper to be able to run 10k again by October 1st. That would give me almost two weeks to better my time. Today was my planned day to go for a long run andContinue reading “Needed a Win”
Street Fighter II Turbo
I’ve never been much of a gamer. Nintendo has always been my console for their easy games like Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and one of my favourites Street Fighter II Turbo. We’ve had a Nintendo Wii for a while and it seems to go in and out of favour with the kids. They’ll playContinue reading “Street Fighter II Turbo”

Labour Day Long Weekend
This past weekend was Labour Day weekend. In past years it was always our last little get away for the summer. This year though the kids started school a couple days before and we had a few getaways this summer already so we didn’t take off. We did have lots of fun though. It wasContinue reading “Labour Day Long Weekend”
Getting Out and Being Social
This is something I struggle with. Working from home I am always interacting with co-workers and other people, but it is all online. As a family we go and do lots with other families and this is wonderful. Our group of friends are a great group and I always have a lot of fun withContinue reading “Getting Out and Being Social”
Welcome Back Old Friends
It’s almost the end of summer, but today I welcome back some old friends. They had been packed away in a tote under my bed for a while now. After my successful weigh in yesterday I decided to see if they were ready to come back. Today I’m wearing a pair of size 34 shortsContinue reading “Welcome Back Old Friends”
Week Three Summary
This week I maid much closer attention to how much food I was eating. Even though I’ve been eating and snacking on pretty good and healthy food I’m pretty sure I was still eating to much of it. Meals were OK but I was eating a lot of fruit especially in between meals as snacks.Continue reading “Week Three Summary”
