Well, what a busy weekend! We had a work Christmas party on Friday night for my husband's work...Then off to Edmonton on Saturday where I spent the day with 2 strangers shopping at West Edmonton Mall! (Wives of 2 people my husband works with in the Reserves), then a Mess Function Saturday night, more shopping Sunday and a nice visit with a friend Sunday afternoon!
So, work Christmas party...It was lots of fun! Great conversation, nice visiting! It was all going great until someone decided to make out in the bathroom with a lady who wasn't his wife...and then the wife walked in...! Youch, that pretty much ended the party! I heard the guy in question may have ended up with a broken nose, but I haven't heard for sure...Other than that, good time!
On Saturday, I agreed to spend the day shopping with 2 people I have never met before. I was a little nervous, spending all those hours with people I don't know? I'm a little shy and can often be stand-offish...but these two ladies were amazing! What a fantastic time! We wandered around West Edmonton Mall (I bought a few things, nothing major)...bought a shirt for the husband of one of the ladies and bought a bow tie for Earl...It was fun!
That night, drank a lot of wine, danced so much my legs hurt! Great conversations, great dancing! What a wonderful night! Earl puked after we returned to the hotel room - some people should know when to stop drinking! He is hurting today (he had to work at his regular job tonight)...but it was worth it! I loved the 2 ladies I met - Amy and Robin...I hope I will have the opportunity to see them again outside of a military function! We've invited Amy and her husband, Derek, for Christmas dinner...I hope they can make it because I feel the need to entertain! I love throwing parties and just haven't done any in a great many years!
With the shopping, I realized I really want to lose weight and tone up. I want to shop at stores like Jacob and buy beautiful things to wear! Jacob had some wonderful sales, but nothing fits me. Additional Elle fits me, but doesn't have nice things and the sales suck. Very disappointing. So, I need to set up the treadmill again and get my butt back to Jo at the gym! I want to be physically strong and toned. I want to be healthy and fit. I want to be able to wear nice clothes and look fantastic in them! I want energy and vitality and life! I want to be able to do pushups and run long distances....
To that end, I need to go back to not eating at Mcdonald's and to bringing my own meals to work. Eat breakfast at home, bring a snack for coffee time, drink my tea, bring lunch, eat a healthy snack when I get home after work...healthy supper...water...I know what to do, but just don't consistently practice it. Why? Why don't I? Well, now I will.
Thanks for listening!
