July Goals

Jun 30, 2012 by Lils

I love July !! Open-mouthed smile

Mostly because my birthday is in July ! lol

But I do love Summer, it makes me remember of all those times spent at my cottage, quadding, swimming, going on see-doo rides, fires, family time, etc. !

Unfortunately, this year I’m to far away do to all those things, so I decided to come up with Goals to help me stay busy and motivated! Smile

1. Read more books – Right now I’m reading Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, but there are so many other books I want to read this Summer ! I love reading! Like I mentioned Yesterday I’m too curious, so I start reading and cannot stop ! I just want to know more, and more, and more.

Summer Reading List!

2. Try something new – I need to try new things!! I want to go Kayaking, go to the Beach (I haven’t gone here yet), go rollerblading, go for bike rides, take fitness classes, etc. I feel like winter is so long up here and we can never go anything winter. So since it’s summer I definitely want to try out those things!

3. Walk Callie Every morning – I had promised N8 that I would walk Callie every morning. Like a child promises their parents that they’ll take care of the puppy if they get one for them! lol

I definitely broke that promise, so I’m going to need to step my game up, wake up in the morning and take this little brat walking !

4. Take a yoga class at least one a week – I can’t wait for this ! I am not able to practice yoga daily or as much as I want to. So I will try my best to go every week! It does get expensive though, and right now were saving up for a house, so we’ll see how that goes.

5. Be Outside more – I know, it’s summer who wouldn’t be more outside right? Think again, me and my sister spent most of our trip to Mexico indoors! We still get laughed at for that one! lol

I don’t know why but since I was a kid I wasn’t much of a stay outside and do nothing kind of girl. If I’m swimming, biking, quadding or whatever then I don’t mind but just sitting around outside is hard for me.

6. Spend time with friends <3 – My friend from Ottawa is coming to visit and I can’t wait !!! I also made quite a few friends in the past month and cannot wait to spend time with them ! Open-mouthed smile

7. Continue to eat healthy & Continue my naturopathic treatments ! – I’ve been doing really good so far! So I’m hoping I can keep it up and not get sucked into the peer pressure of drinking beer and eating gross foods all the time lol

Plus my treatments seem to be working so far, I’ve been doing them for two weeks now. I still have two more weeks to go until my next appointment so I’m anxious to see the results.

8. Do the 7 day or 5 day Slim down from Tone It up – I haven’t tried them yet, and I can’t wait to see the results ! I definitely need to do this ASAP.I’ve been hearing such positive reviews!

Bikini ready in 7 days? Yes please!

9. Continue to build amazing friendship through blogging – So far I’ve met a lot of amazing people and friends through blogging and I can’t wait to make more and build on the ones I have now.

Like Meg for example! I’ve just been loving hanging out with her and can’t wait until we hang out more. We’re actually going to spend the day together Tuesday! I can’t wait ! Smile

10. Spend LOTS of time with my family !! - My family is coming to visit at the end of the month and I cannot wait any longer!!!! I haven’t seen them in 1 year and a half! <3

11. Go camping – I love camping! Even though Nate says I hate camping because I’m to scared of bugs! Smile with tongue out lol I do hate bugs but I think I can handle camping once in a while He’s trying to get me to be a great outdoors woman. lol We’ll see how that goes!

12. Stop procrastinating – This one is crucial!! I feel like I’ve been procrastinating forever ! Nothing is getting done! You know when you feel like your moving at 200miles/hour and you don’t even know where your head is at. That’s how I’ve been feeling. So thank god I have some time off this week and can finally accomplish things!

What are your July goals ?

One Lovely Blog Award

Jun 29, 2012 by Lils

I came home yesterday from a stressful day at work and I was feeling kinda “blah”, until I checked my emails and had the most wonderful email/comment from Megan! She nominated me for “One Lovely Blog Award”. She seriously made my day! <3

I’ve never done a survey type post so this should be fun ! Smile Plus a chance for you guys to get to know me better! Win-Win I say! Smile with tongue out

Here are the rules:
1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you.
2. Paste the award image anywhere on your blog.
3. Share seven facts about yourself.
4. Nominate other blogs you enjoy for this award.
5. Post a comment on your nominees’ blog to let them know of their nomination.

7 Random Facts About Me

1. I’m an organization freak ! I also love to change things around every five seconds in the house, I cannot survive if everything is disorganized and messy ! I become a nut case !

This is what I dream about ! lol

2. I actually started getting into fitness and health just to piss someone off. I’m an not proud of that one, but eh I believe everything we went through makes us who we are today, and without this one maybe I would of never have so much love for fitness and health!

3. I’m a VERY curious person ! lol Maybe that is why I love Mysteries so much !!! There basically the only books I read ! I also secretly want to be a private detective or a spy! Haha that would be so awesome! I could solve mysteries all day long !!!!

4. I have two fears – arachnophobia and agoraphobia. One is for spiders the others is people ! Smile with tongue out But seriously I cannot be in huge crowds! I will panic! That includes going to Costco on a Saturday lol

LOL I found this on Google, I had to put it on here. It’s hilarious, sometimes that’s exactly how I feel ! Haha

5. I had Lasik eye surgery two years ago! Best.Decision.Ever ! I’ve had glasses since I was in Third Grade. Can you imagine? At one point in University I couldn’t event wear my contacts anymore! Try working out with glasses. Not fun. Not fun ! (I can’t do it anyways! I see a lot of people doing it but I couldn’t)

6. I probably never want to get married. Never say never, but it’s definitely not a priority to me. My mom never got married, maybe I’m just to used to that, that I don’t really picture myself married. I’m not at all against marriage! I think it’s just not for me. Give me a happy, healthy family and I’m happy!

7. I could spend HOURS listening to new music, old music, all types of music. I also could spend hours texting and copying links to my friends to check out the music I just found. Maybe I should change, “could” to “I do all the time” lol I don’t know why I love discovering music and other useless crap. For example, my source of daily news consist of PerezHilton. Sad but true. I usually get my news via N8 lol What can I say, I love the entertainment industry!

That’s just about covers the basics Smile with tongue out

Now it’s your turn ! Smile Leave a comment letting me know your random facts!

& I now nominate these lovely ladies! <3

First Time for Everything

Jun 21, 2012 by Lils

I couldn’t be happier ! Smile

I had an awesome day today !

Meg was in town and could spare a couple hours for me !

Obviously, the first thing we did was meet up at David’s Tea !

I had never tried any of the teas there before, so after sniffing almost all of the teas, Meg recommended that I try a Chocolate Cake Latte.

She was right ! This stuff is amazing !! Now I am officially addicted and will drag N8 there ASAP !

She also got me a foam roller !! I’m so excited !! The minute I got home I had to try it !

Let me tell you, it hurts but I couldn’t stop foam rolling ! Haha

I guess I developed two new addictions today !

I’m so glad we got to chit chat! Meg is such a positive person and a happy person that you automatically feel happy and excited just being around her ! <3

I also met her family ! They’re all as nice as her!! Smile

I walked out of the mall and felt super happy and excited ! She had lift my spirits up !

Until we meet again ! Smile

All the bloggers out there, do you feel like meeting bloggers have that effect on you ?

I feel like everyone in the blogging community if just so nice and thoughtful! When you’re surrounded daily by positive people and thoughts daily, it definitely affect me in a positive way !

Did you ever develop friendships through your blog ?

The Joys of Technology!

Feb 1, 2012 by Lils

Hii
Hope you had a awesome hump day !! It’s almost Friday ! (I wishhh )

So yesterday, I was planning to do some Cardio at the gym, but I ended up spending all evening figuring out things for this little blog.

1 – How to put social media icons in the sidebar.

2 – How to link a sub page to one of your pages.

3 – How to create a Facebook page (even though I’m not even close to being finished)

Now my next step is to :

1 – Finish my Facebook page

2 – Start writing in my Pages

3 – Try to change my theme (one day, one day)

I also realized that I was using fonts from Kevin and Amanda, and no one can see them because nobody probably had those fonts. So now I’ll try to stop myself from spending lots of time changing those fonts, even though I thought it looked so prettyyy Haha

Even tough it took me a while to figure all these technology things out, I learned a lot from it and now I can’t wait to post more! Smile

Last nights supper was :

Salmon and roasted peppers (which was also lunch today)

anddd today’s workout is :

Cardio
20 minute jog – (I really want to increase my cardiovascular abilities because I want to start playing soccer again and I want to try out a 5K or half marathon this year !

Chest & Back
Dumbbell press – 3 x 12
Incline flys – 3 x 12
Row’s – 3 x 12 (each side)
Hyperextension – 3 x 12

and that’s it that’s all !

Today, I felt like starting a new challenge.

Cutting down on coffee - This morning, again, I woke up 12 minutes before I had to BE at work. I didn’t even hear my 148219 alarms ! Plus, I’m pretty sure I haven’t been hearing my alarms because of my nightly coffees. So we’ll see how that goes ! Your welcome to join the challenge.

It’s funny because I used to HATE coffee, I only started liking coffee two years ago. This new addiction is because of you Phil ! Haha

Do you challenge yourself a lot ? What is the biggest challenge you accomplished?
