I refuse to call it starting over again...I'm moving forward every day with my health. Obstacles get in the way and as long as I dont let them block me permanantly, then it's progress..:)
So this is day 3 of tracking my food and I've been bang on everyday. I have even been active all 3 days and I'm down 1.5 pounds...woot!
Life is good..:)

life is tough
Lots has happened since I last wrote here. My uncle died on January 30th. On Feb 1st, my daughter and I flew to Nfld. We arrived at 1am nfld time, drove 3 hours, slept 3 hours, got up and drove 2 hours then attended a beautiful memorial service. We spent the day visiting with family on my dad's side and drove 2 more hours to get back home. It was the hardest day I have experienced since Sophi spent 5 days in the hospital when she had a really bad seizure.
We were home for 5 days and then we had to make the trek back to the Yukon. This was much longer than when we went there. The flight back has several stops (I like to call it the Mail Run).
It took 12 hours once we got to the airport, to get to Vancouver. First we had to drive 3 hours to get to the airport. It was a long and horrible day, but I have great friends in Vancouver, and one of them came to pick us up at the airport at 11:30pm and got us back there by 10:20am to catch our 11:30 flight (which was late).
It was so good to get back. My huney was waiting for us when we got here. It was soo good to see him. It had been over a year since we have really spend any time apart from each other. I missed him. I missed my dog and cats. I missed my bed. It was good to get home and see the family, but it was also good to get back to the Yukon.
Wow, I guess I have 2 homes. Nlfd will ALWAYS be home. But the Yukon is home now too. My life is here...my kid, my job, my house, my pets, my honey..etc.
That's all for now folks. thanks for reading...lol

well it's not like I write on here for comments..but my vain self would like to see one....lol
Anyway...it's Friday and the temp is warm..:) The sun is shining more and more as spring continues to approach...thank goodness.
Tomorrow is a partial "pamper-me day". I am having a pedicure done. Luckily it's 50% off so I am only paying $35. It's a good thing because this salon isnt good enough to charge $70 for a spa pedicure. Last weekend, I had a manicure done and I wasnt that impressed with it. She didnt put a base coat on before she painted my nails, so they were stained when I took the nailpolish off. She also didnt do any top coats so the nail polish came off quite quickly. But with a pedicure, I'm not sdo concerned with the polish as I am with the skin. My feet need a good scrubbing with a pumice and I cant seem to manage it myself. My feet are too sensitive and I always stop...lol.
Have I mentioned George? I got George for my birthday. He's my Iphone. I love him and squeeze hm and call him George..:) I bought George a pink dress...he looks so pretty..:) I was never a big fan of Apple before now...but George has converted me..:) Now if only I could convert him.
Anywho, back to the grindstone...lol TTFN

writing
the more i think about it, the more i want to do some creative writing...but how? I dont do good with self taught courses....i cant be my own teacher. I need guidence. But who has time to go to a class...lol.....if i have spare time, I "try" to get to the gym...ok well it's been a week, but I think I might go tomorrow.
wow it's hard to type fast with fake nails...they really are too long..arg. But hey, I did them myself and saved myself $70.00...:)
anyway..back to the dilemma. i wonder if there is a book called "creative writing for dummies"...I'm gonna google it...brb......yup....there is..but i cant seem to copy and paste the url. dangit. well anywho, I'll look it over and see what I think.

hey i got my hair cut tonight...it's nice and short. Easy and fast to take care of in the morning...I guess i would rather sleep in...lol
This isnt my hair but it's so pretty I decided to put it here....lol
well i have some chores to do....so i better get to them....nite nite all
I wish ...
...that I was more of a creative writer. My problem is that I get bogged down with all the little details. I just cant write for the sake of writing. I've always wanted to write a romance novel but I dont have the foggiest idea of how to start. I remember that I loved writing in High School. I enjoyed learning the mechanics of writing and the proper formation of sentences. But that was 20+ years ago. I dont remember those rules anymore. Hell I'm lucky if I remember to use punctuation!
Blech!
