Wow last week was busy. I did get to the gym on Thursday and Friday and I also went to the swimming pool.
I found a great recipe for gluten free banana muffins, I made them for my husband for his lunches this week.
We went and did a bit of shopping yesterday and the malls are getting really busy, I was glad I drove as hubby saw the line to get in to the parking lot and said forget that, lol I got in line. It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. I spent 2 hours yesterday afternoon watching a movie and wrapping presents.
We have the outside lights up, I did them Saturday while it was so nice and warm.
We heard from our guest's that are coming from Australia for 8 days on a world win tour, heading to NY city and then to Dubai. We are looking forward to their arrival.
While shopping I went to Old Navy I had heard they had a loose fit athletic top. Well they sure do, I just couldn't get my shoulder in the damn things and why do they need a compression bra in them, so I am back on the hunt, I have been looking for this type of top for months.

Today was my volunteer day at the Glebe, I was away last week, so many residents were looking for me when I arrived this morning. It always feel so good to feel needed, I have many ladies that come out to my morning tea party that do not go out for anything else. This is something I truly love doing and always have, I started working in Nursing homes when I was 17. I had a head Nurse that said to me one day that if I were only doing the job for the money it was the wrong reason, I was a bit of a rare breed, I worked there because I love bringing smiles to the senior's and I still do 36 years later.
I went to the gym today and did my usual 30 minutes of cardio and then did my weight routine.
One young fell came up to me, he is a usual at the same time of day as me, he said so how long have you been doing this now, I said since March, he said way to go, do you feel better coming, I said yes, I have more energy and seem to be able to lift more weights every few weeks, I have come along way. And still have a long ways to go yet, but I will get there.

Well I was at the gym early this morning and did an hour of cardio. I am enjoying being able to watch Netflix at the gym, it really helps to get through the hour.
When I came home I decided it was time to get busy sorting out the Christmas presents I have, and I was very amazed and happy to see that I am in pretty good shape. Just a few things to get and find out what Hubby would like.
I was reading an article this morning on the importance of eating protein and weight loss.
For myself I should eat between 63 and 178 grams per day. I have found that eating 50gms at breakfast really helps me feel fuller longer. I will try to touch more on this later in the week.
There are many calculators on line to help you figure out how much you should be eating.

I had a busy week out of town and was happy to be home on Saturday, I was missing my bed and the comforts of home.
So I headed back to the gym after 5 days off and did 30 minutes of cardio and my weight routine.
I am thinking today of all our fallen soldiers and the ones that have come home, not the men and women they left as. We should all have paused and taken time to think of all from each war, 1, 2, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the Faulklins, there are so many wars, to many, may we find a way to live in peace and harmony.

Who knew how many coats of spray paint it would take to cover the brown on that night stand, 3 cans later and I hope it doesn't need any more this morning, my lungs can't take much more. lol You would think I ate a big bag of pop corn I am so stuffy. I pulled out the neti pot last night and used it 5 times in hopes of relieving my sinuses. I took some night time cold tablets and headed off to slumber land.
Missing Albert at the gym in the mornings, he was such an inspiration, but Mexico was calling. He is gone for the winter, I figure he must be between 75-80 and rarely misses a day when he is in the country.
I went to the gym today and did my hour on the elliptical machine. I will go tomorrow morning and then head to Napanee to spend some time with my sister and Mom, it might be the last trip before the snow flies.
I am also delivering my grand daughters new used bed and night stand, part of her Christmas present.

First of all I had all the good intentions in the world yesterday to get to the gym, but, with the couple dozen trips up and down the basement stairs, I was pretty much pooped. We got the new toilet installed on the weekend, thanks to Hubby and then I started trying to paint an end table that was given to me for my youngest Grand daughter, I tried to paint it with a brush and it looked awful, so I thought I would try spray painting it, one can down and I headed to another store for more spray paint, didn't get the same kind, what a friggen mess, I quit and headed back to get some more of the same kind, they were out but did get one almost the same just longer drying, phew, it is working I just had to give it a light sanding.. I'll post after it dries,,
I did find that I have had allot of shoulder pain this weekend so maybe I did something different, to much lugging on stuff and I finished making a baby blanket.
I went to the gym this morning and did 45 minutes cardio and did my weight routine.
I also stepped on the scales today its the first week of change up, I have been following the weight watchers plan, I have lost 1 lb. A good start, except I will be away later in the week. So must be mindful.

Awwww its finally Friday, I'm feeling tired today a side effect of my NAET treatment yesterday.
We had 17 kiddies here last night for Halloween, it was so good to see them out and the rain had stopped for a couple of hours. My Hubby was late getting home so he only saw 3 of them.
One of my morning regulars at the gym is heading to Mexico for the winter, he will be back for Christmas for a week then gone again till May, he said he has been going for 14 years and he goes to the gym every day there as well. He is so well known that he opens for the family that owns the gym every day. I'll miss chatting to him, he's about the only one there my age lol.
I went to the gym today and did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and then did my weight routine.
Yesterday I made a big crock pot of Chili Con Carne, it is so good, I figured out the points on it and its only 2.5 for a cup. Looking forward to lunch today.
