Woah!

Well would you look at that!!  I went all the way through November and didn't even post an October update!   Not sure how that happened aside from the fact that life went nuts! It's been a busy one.  I've kept to my schedule for working out for the most part.  A few runs have been missed but that's usually been because I'm not going to bed early enough to get up and run in the morning and I'm not giving myself the time to go in the evening.  I said this was my year and I need to continue to make myself a priority moving forward.  

Some cool things that have happened since my last post are that I bought an adult colouring book and some pencils.  I find the whole "adult" qualification in the name funny.  Like there is a stigma that colouring is for kids.  I find it very therapeutic, very relaxing and just plain fun.  Christina and I even coloured a page together one evening.  The main reason I bought it was to occupy myself in the evenings once the girls are in bed.  I'm a boredom snacker and was sabotaging myself with it.  The colouring has helped:)

The other fun and out of the ordinary thing that's been happening is the girls taking cursive writing lessons. They don't get to learn it at school and I think it's very important.  Luckily I'm not alone in that and knew someone who wanted to teach it.  Anna loves it and could sit forever doing it.  Christina loves the idea of it and the creative side of it but isn't as dedicated, she does have a talent for turning the letters into pictures though:) I love when they want to learn something new!!

December is just about here and that means lots of opportunity to over eat and skip workouts.  I'm doing my best to stick to my plans and not sabotage everything.  I'm going to make lots of time to workout, ensure that I eat well at all times that I can control what I have to eat and not let the few indulgences give me excuse to let it all fall apart.  It's one of my favourite times of the year and I plan to fully enjoy it!!
