Whew! All this Olympic fever has me soooooooo proud to be Canadian. All these late nights, have me staying up late too. I love sharing these moments with my kids.
My favourite moment thus far has been Alexandre Bilodeau's golden win for Canada. We watched all together as a family, and I turned to my boys and said: "you are watching history here, remember where you were when this happened!" :> As I cheer for our athletes, I love to cheer loudly and clap along. Apparently, I should know that they can't hear me, and I'm not really there!? Ummm...who cares! It's the Olympics kids!!!!
So aside from that...I am still on track and working-out. I've also planned to scratch something off my 'bucket' list. Come spring time, I'm going to sign up and start learning to run a 5k (apparently there's a whole method to this). I went to Lululemon (because that's how funny/crazy I am, and I love it!), and bought myself a few things I will need to begin my running journey :>. I feel silly, but EXCITED!
My good friend (I'll call her C-Bu :>), already did this 'course' on 5 k and highly recommends it. Then she added, I'd love to do it again because you forget how to run...so we are in! (YIKES!). I'm surely looking to run the Run for the Cure in October, but also there is a run in June for woman's cancers. Perhaps, I'll be ready for that. For now, I'm kind of 'training' on my treadmill. I know, I know...it's not the same. However, if I can build myself up there cardio wise, when I do start 'running' outdoors...I won't look like the fat girl in a rush to get some more chocolate!
Have a good week-end everyone. I know I will...it's my birthday week-end!!!!
P.S.
Go Canada Go!!!

A Little Update
I just wanted to update you on my journey.
I have been a very good girl! lol I've made the effort to train, do cardio and do yoga. It feels great to get some alone, me time! I have no excuses...zero.
My only complaint was that yesterday, I got a nail in my tire and had to take a pause. I was set to do my core circuit training, I love the Monday class because it really instills a tone for the week, however things don't always pan out that way...and frustration sets in quickly with me. I had a last minute meeting to attend with Carmelo's french teacher. In addition, the core class time got moved up a half hour, so there was no hope for me.
Sometimes, these tests really 'test' us. I came home after the meeting, when it really sunk that I wouldn't make the session, I was frustrated and angry. In fact, I went to bed angry...and I tossed and turned until about 3 a.m. At that point, I realized that being a busy mom and wife means that I won't always be able to follow my 'planned' schedule. What I need to do is to go with the flow, and promise myself that come the next day, I brush myself off and keep on my journey. I guess I'm so afraid that if I miss ONE day it means I've fallen off the wagon completely, and I don't want to go there ANYMORE!
I've also done some emotional, internal cleansing. That feels wonderful and so enlightening. As for now, I've realized that some things, and some people (especially the one's who purposely are negative, and hurtful), they don't matter. I must choose to refuse to engage in their "games" or choices. I am truly sensitive, and consider myself highly intuitive. I understand situations, people and such on a different level that I cannot always explain into words. However, it wears on me emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. In turn, it shows on my body. I'm slowly realizing that I must focus on those who love and support me, everything else is just not worth the energy!
I'm moving on...and growing, hopefully as I shrink!
Have a great Tuesday!

Presenting our eight year old son Carmelo in his first violin recital. He's been playing about a year now, and has come a long way. The violin is an extremely difficult instrument to play. We are so very proud of him, that we just had to share!
