Going green

I decided this week that it was finally time to get my butt

in gear... Mostly ALL had something to do with the fact that 

the bridesmaid dress is tight- ugh. I guess

that is what I get from not trying it on before buying it.

Well I hit up Costco, loaded up on lots of fruits and veggies

and the rest is history. The eating has been going well and 

I've been out walking every evening. Nothing too 

strenuous but everything counts. I start my rotation tomorrow 

eve and hopefully I can kick it into gear while I have 

nothing planned for the next few days.

Pineapple

Spinach

Coconut Greek yogurt

Coconut water

 

 

 I'm trying to go dairy light and gluten free for the next 2 weeks

to see how I feel. So, while that coconut Greek yogurt is a dream

in this smoothie- I'm cutting it this week!

Long Weekends

For the most part Rhys and I have decided that long 

weekends are the way to go. My rotation is always 

Wednesday to Tuesday which makes long weekend plans

perfect for my schedule. 2 days to chill at home and catch

up on laundry/housework. Usually a grocery shop at some

point. Then it's Friday! Time to pack up the car, grab the

essentials and hit the road! By the time we return on Monday 

{if Rhys takes Monday off} we unpack, do some laundy,

 and I can get organized for my next stretch on. 

We sold our Boler last spring

and while we still know it was the right choice... 

I loved that little egg! 

 My parents were nice enough

to loan us their little tent trailer for the summer and boy are

we happy about it. It is NOTHING fancy but it has

2 beds and counter space which suits our 

needs perfectly for now. 

We have taken it on the road twice already. I've set this 

thing up tons of times over the years and I think Rhys

is finally getting in the groove. The first weekend away 

had a bit of a dicey start with us both being annoyed.

Mostly all my fault because I just assume he should

know what I want him to do next...

Am I alone here ladies!

Last time, set up went a lot more smoothly and I think

we have our duties down!

The weekend was rainy but it was perfect. 

Long weekends in Fernie tend to be BUSY but the rain

kept everyone inside which was perfect because we 

took the dogs for big plays and mostly had the parks

to ourselves. Eddie is surprising us lately and behaving

his naughty little self. I think he may actually make 

some friends!

The curry bowl was a disappointment. We knew

that it had changed owners and unfortunately 

it's just not the same. The food was okay. Serve

was on the verge of bad. Both points used to get shining

stars from us. But that's okay because Blue Toque 

did not disappoint and as always Yamagoya was

delish!

The benefit of cheap camping weekends is that:

 1. You get out of the city/house

 2. You feel like you got a little getaway

 3. No TV and limited electronics so you reconnect

 4. You aren't paying hotel bills so you can

still eat out and enjoy without it feeling like you've 

broke the bank upon return.

Anywho... Hopefully I will be around more

in these parts. I haven't felt much like writing but it feels good

to get something down!
