Stress=clumsy

I fell down these stairs! Yesterday I was home not feeling well and in the afternoon I slipped on the first step and tumbled down the stairs. Usually I'm the person that would laugh when someone falls (lol), but this time I did not laugh...I never fell down the stairs like that in my life! I've slipped and fell on my butt before but this fall was like no other! I slipped fell back then front then back then front... OUCH!!! I was even holding my netbook which also took a hard hit slamming to the bottom of the stairs. Good thing is that I'm ok, just bruised and VERY sore. I can only blame the stress I've been under. I need to take it easy!

I'm off work tomorrow for Remembrance day. So I will make it a ME day. My goal setting day! I want to create a routine to start following again and I want to finish my vision board.

I skipped the workout today, heck I can barely walk after my fall, my back is sooo sore. So hopefully I can work out tomorrow.

Check out this weight shake my sister bought (her blog) she will keep us updated on her progress. I tried it out, I think I want one too!

New Goals and New Vision Board

I'm home today. Yesterday I had a really stressful day at work. I couldn't sleep all night just worrying and feeling anxiety. I woke up tired and with a big headache! Taking the day off will only help a bit since all my work will still be there tomorrow. But I needed some time to myself. Some time to reorganize my goals, Life goals and Health goals.

Goals are soo important. I also love making vision boards, so I print out pics all that I want to achieve and post them up in my closet and in my office. :) I'll show you my new one when I complete it! :)

This weeks Goals:
*Create a new vision board for 1 year goals.
* print out quotes that help me stay on track during stressful days.
* Make a routine that works, some evenings for working on the side biz and some evenings for working out!
*Weigh myself weekly to keep my weight on track!
*Cook at home 4 times a week.
*Always pack a lunch!
*Always carry snacks in my purse for days that schedules get thrown off (I'm not pleasant to be around when hungry and this adds much more stress in my life lol)
* Set automatic calendar alarms to myself with what I need to do on a particular day.
* Read a positive book every night when going to bed, to keep me in a positive state. :)

These are some ways in helping with keeping me on track and keeping the ultimate goals in sight.

How do you keep on track with all your goals.??

Just love the weekends!

This mornings breakfast at Cora's was delicious! My sister and I met with my BFF for breakfast. It was a nice morning and we had a great time chatting. We talked life and babies, she is due in February and we can't wait to meet her little man!

The husband and his friends went away this weekend, so Saturday I spent my evening in Toronto with my sister. Then on our way back up near my place we decided to have a late dinner. I live north of the city but in a very busy part! All restaurants were about 45 to 60min wait last night. We ended up at Chilies which was the shortest wait. I can say other than the dessert I'm not a fan.

This afternoon we headed to my aunts sale. I bought some cute scarves and a ring. Love my purchases :)

After a long day out we ended it at a sushi restaurant! All you can eat sushi, oh boy!

Can't wait to eat healthier tomorrow and can't wait to work out this week. I think I will add an extra workout this week. 4 workouts are needed!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Goals Goals Goals!

The past couple weekends have been about family get togethers and lots of food! So with all fun I totally have not been tracking what I'm eating.
Tonight I made a yummy chicken stirfry and I have left overs for lunch too :)

My workouts have been on and off. So I really need to get back on track!
Work has been stressful and I've been coming home exhausted. Which has me slacking in all my goals. I need to get out of this rut!

This weeks Goals:
*Oatmeal for Breakfasts (It's so cold, I like a warm BF!)
*Only 1 coffee a day (going well!)
*1500 Calories/day (need to get back on track!)
* Tracking calories on Iphone "my fitness pal app"

Do you have any back on track tips I could use!?

Halloween Weekend!

A non stop fun weekend. Friday night a group of us went out for my cousin's birthday. We had a blast. These girls are so much fun! I absolutely love these girls we always always have soo much fun together. We had a blast at Toronto's Drake Hotel. I didn't end up going to bed till 4am!
I slept in Saturday and had a lazy day before getting ready for a Halloween party at my cousin's place.

We had sooo much fun, alll the costumes are super cute! look at us all!
Annnd again we didn't go to bed till after 3am!

Today was Halloween and I was running in slow motion after all those parties! hah! We went out trick or treating with the kids. It was freezing here! But they had a great time!

Happy HALLOWEEN!!!! Hope you all had a great weekend!

(Watching Brothers and Sisters, intense tonight!)

Show Us Your Life - Guest Rooms

Today is Show us your life Guest rooms!

This is our main Guest Room. It's so cozy! My sister and friends love staying over in this room. They say the bed is so comfy and they like that I leave positive books on their night stand ahah!
This room gets soo much sunlight too.

Our upstairs is carpeted and personally I love it. I love walking around up there barefoot, carpet feels so nice. But the husband has hardwood floors in mind so that's on our reno list of to - do's.

Here is our next guest room that will be transformed to baby #1's room when it's time.

We are actually giving that couch away to my husbands cousin that just moved here and they have no furniture so they are really happy that we are giving them the couch :)

We are also giving my mom the futon, she wants it for her guest room for her grandkids. So that room is being emptied out sooner than later!
see my trampoline :) I still use that once in a while aahah!
This is my memory stand. I have some pics and favorite movies and items that have personal meaning. :)

So I have plenty of room... So come on over! :)

Tired Thursday

I was in a training all day today and I'm pooped!

Husband and I are going out for dinner soon. I hope I don't fall asleep in my food Ahaha. It's possible, I'm that exhausted.

I have my Halloween costume ready but soo not excited about it, I got a army brat costume, what's that suppose to mean anyway? Brat? Lol I'm not sure about it...

Wordless Wednesday

Day 2 cooking at home!

I'm not going to lie... when I was driving home from work starved tonight I was reaaaaalllyyy tempted to go to a drive thru, but I quickly reminded myself of the 10lbs I want to drop and the slacking in the workouts... so I came home and made dinner! Spicy oven baked chicken with salad, Brussels sprouts and I had to add wedges, I was starved remember!

After eating wayy too many brussels sprouts I went down to the city and brought 3 pumpkins to my nieces. Look are cute they are in their costumes!

We have a Madonna costume here, so cute and little M wasn't co-operating, but she will be a butterfly, so so cute!

This Sunday we will be trick or treating with my nieces and my husbands little cousins. I haven't been out trick or treating since I was a kid! So this should be fun with 3 little girls running around!

How has your week started off in the diet and workout dept?

Back on track Monday...

Today turned out to be a beautiful fall day despite the morning fog.

I was soo tired this morning and was dreading work! I took my time getting ready, sipped my coffee ate my breakfast and I even went to lay down for 15mins before getting ready just wishing I could stay in bed!

I brought my salad for lunch and made sure to cook at home tonight.

I made Salmon with Jerk seasoning... it was a yummy dinner!
Even Zoe wished she had some ahahh! she watched us eat the whole time.

Good start to the week, minus the sleepiness.

Hope you all have a great week!
