I know I mentioned in this post that I would be attending fitness camp, but it looks like I’ll be missing out on it this week. I have been having problems with my left hand for a while and it is starting to get worse . I hope it isn’t because of the exercise! I spoke with my doctor yesterday and she believes I could very well have a cyst. I am on a waiting list to see a specialist. Let’s hope the wait will not be very long! I’d like to be able to type using both hands again LOL . My fitness instructor will be working with me on exercises that will not require any weight that will be put on my left hand, so that’s a relief. I am totally unable to bend any fingers other than my thumb or pinky. It just burns and locks up if I try. Talk about unlucky, right ? I guess I’ll just use this time to catch up on my reading or my new not-so-secret guilty pleasure– watching a few Asian Drama shows on dramacrazy.net. My husband loves to tease me about this and each time we pass by the video store in the Crystal Mall, he points out various actors, claiming they are my boyfriend .
The drama I am currently watching is called “You’re Beautiful“, which is about a nun who stands in as a singer for an idol group after her brother was in an accident.

I am so lame LOL
Welp, I am going to have to take a brief hiatus from blogging for the time being .
Peace out

I know it’s been a little while since my last entry- I assure you I am not dead yet ! Over the past few months I fell into a rut that I am slowly climbing out of. I understand that some things just take time.

I have recently signed up for a ladies’ fitness boot camp. According to their website, Booty Camp Fitness boasts results that are:

• Up to 16 lbs weight reduction
• 1 – 6 inches reduced in your thighs, midsection, and arms
• A boost in your immune system, and a decrease in sick days
• 25 – 100% increase in strength and stamina
• An energized yet relaxed feeling…

Of course, realistically speaking, results will be different for everyone. I’ll just be happy to be up, active, and out of the house– & Who knows? Maybe I’ll even make a few new friends!

Each session is an hour long, which combines circuit training, hand-to-hand cardio combat (no contact), core strengthening, body sculpting, & yoga. Prices can vary to $299 CAN for an 8 week package, or $159 CAN for a 4 week package. I decided on a 4 week package to start out. Wish me lots of luck . I will definitely update if there are any results.
If you are interested in joining, find a location closest to you!
Note:This particular camp is only available in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Canada.

Hello everyone

Lately I have been focused on losing weight. I want to look good in a swim suit this summer, but I have a very flabby tummy . I was browsing the internet in my quest for easy dieting recipes when I came across this website. SparkPeople.com offers a free personalized diet and fitness plan, calorie and exercise tracker, demonstration videos, recipes, tips, & a lot more! Hopefully I can fit into my sexy swim suit in no time .

Yesterday Matt, Shelby, and I went to Alouette Lake & did a bunch of  canoeing & kayaking. My arms sure are tired !

It’s time for lunch and a cardio work out. My goal is to get in shape by my birthday .

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend . Mine was a real blast! Matt and I went to his mother’s house and I got to have a nice chat with his family. I had some of the best turkey & stuffing… cake too, but I still miss my grandmother’s honey baked ham and the lamb shaped coconut cake we have for Grandfather’s birthday every April . I know I will see them next year, so it’s all good!

Last Friday my friends and I went to Lynn Canyon and hiked about 3 kilometers for over three hours in the snow- yes, snow. As we went up the mountain trail the snow kept getting higher and higher until an old man told us to turn back. It was amazing, but now I am so sore …

On Saturday we went swimming- quite a change, eh? I got to relax my tired and aching muscles in the hot tub and watch my husband and our friends dive off of a super high diving board. I really cannot wait until the water slide park opens up in the summer. It will be so much fun! I hope to do a lot of things this year, namely going on a camping trip with friends, getting nice and tan, maybe even going fishing! I really cannot wait.

I am so tired and sore today. I think a nice hot relaxing soak in the tub is in order .
