Kitty Filled Day Again (Jan.8, 2017)

I planned on getting up early to work out this morning but that didn't happen.

I went to bed at a decent time but I had a really difficult time getting to sleep, then I kept waking up all through the night so when the alarm rang at 4:5 am this morning I just couldn't wouldn't get up.

I know I need to get back to it, it makes me feel so good to get that work out in.

I just kept thinking that I had to curl tonight too and I would just be so tired.

I will get back on track though, I believe in me.


Weigh in wasn't too bad, 261.4 lbs.

Leftovers for lunch.


We got busy at the office this afternoon and took the Christmas decorations down and put them away.

Picked up Subway for My Honey & I for supper.

Curling ended up being cancelled so I worked at putting more Christmas decorations away.

Not all done yet but I am getting there.

I also did a lot of this tonight.

Kitty cuddles are awesome!

He was loving it just as much as I was.

Watched a few episodes of My 600lb Life.

I always feel for the folks and I understand that it wouldn't take much to end up in that same position.

My Honey ended up working super late, was just about 9 pm when he got home.


He got the helicopter back out and Paddington was just as intrigued by it again.

He knocked it out of the air but was still a little leary of it.

My auntie sent me a picture of this memorial they had made.

Miss this beautiful soul.

Didn't quite make the 10,000 step mark.

Until next time, be happy!

Cats at Rest & Play (Jan.7, 2018)

Had another day filled with relaxing today!

This morning Professor Snuggles was in the mood for a few cuddles.

He isn't usually very cuddly so it was nice.

Paddington was all about relaxing today too.

There is the empty tree.

I have everything off of it.

Just waiting for an extra hand to help me take it down and get it out.

Paddingtong eventuallly got tired of watching Professor Snuggles and I cuddling and came and pushed his way in.

He is such a little love bug - he was giving me all kinds of little kitty kisses with his scratchyl little tongue.

My brother called later in the afternoon to see if I could watch the kiddos for a bit because he got called out to a job.

He wasn't going to be that long so I just went over to their place.

I was happy to see the kiddos.

His happy little smile makes my heart melt every time.

Miss A was happily playing on her new ipad she got for Christmas.

She modelled her new dress she got for Christmas for me too.

Notice Mr Jones in the corner there posing quite nicely for the picture too.

 

He was all about posing for pictures today so I had to make him the star of the picture.

Then I couldn't leave Sage out, had to get a picture of her too.

 

My dad (their Pepe) sent them Visa gift cards for Christmas and they went and picked out gifts yesterday so they had to show them off to me.

Miss A got this awesome ship.

Mr H showing me one of the new Paw Patrol figures he got.

He also got a ship set and he thought it was just great.

 

I didn't watch them for very long, when I got home, My Honey was just getting home from work.

He got a remote control helicopter for Christmas and he took it out for the first time to play with.

Paddington was very interested in it.

 

He wasn't really sure what to think.

He was frightened of it at first but was getting braver as time went on.

He even batted it right out of the air a few times.

 

Then he needed to have a little break, ha ha.

 

The helicopter needed recharging anyway.

Then after a bit of a recharging, both the helicopter and Paddington were ready to go again.

 

Professor Snuggles got in on the action a bit this time too.

 

Looks like My Honey has found a new game to play with the cats.

 

I didn't get a work out in today.

I did get a few more of my Christmas things taken down so it wasn't a totally unproductive day.

Even got a few more steps in than yesterday.

 

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

Relaxed Kind of Day (Jan.6, 2018)

When My Honey left for work this morning he left the bedroom door open just enough for this guy to sneak in.

 

He got in bed with me and we had some kitty cuddles.

I spent the day mainly relaxing.

I did take all the decorations down off the tree but currently the tree is still standing.

 

I watched a couple episodes of Heartland then I decided to have a hot meal ready for My Honey when he got home from work.

I roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Cooked up some brocolli

And cooked up some chicken.

It was a lovely plate of food and tasted delicious.

 

No work out today.

Only made it about halfway to 10,000.

I did have a very restful day though.

 

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!

Proud Auntie Over Here (Jan.5, 2018)

Another quiet day in the life of April.

 

I started back on the chaga today.

I didn't take it with me on vacation and I kind of forgot about it.

Maybe it will give me the energy to get back at working out.

 

Mom called from PEI.

She wants me to change her flight so she can stay there a bit longer so I spent some time looking for flights for her.

They are just so expensive and there aren't a lot of options for flying out of Charlottetown.

 

After work I took my niece, Miss M, to WCT.

She needed some groceries and so did I.

 

We got to do lots of catch up on the trip (it's an hour there and back).

She just impresses me so much each time I talk with her by how much she has matured.

 

She is working hard and taking care of herself and her household.

I think she struggles a bit with money as we all did at that age and I wish I could help her out a bit more but at the same time, doing it all herself has made her appreciate things more.

 

I am super proud of her, she is still and always will be my little princess.

 

I thought I would get my tree taken down tonight but that didn't happen.

I have all weekend to work on it though so it will get done.

 

 

Not too great with the steps again today.

 

What is it going to take to get me moving again?

 

That is all for today.

Until next time, be happy!

Quiet Day (Jan.4, 2018)

Not much happening today.

 

I didn't get up and work out early as expected.

 

Work was uneventful which is nice sometimes.

 

When I got home from work I opened up and set up my new laptop.

I was having issues so I was getting frustrated.

 

I let it do it's thing and I worked on blog catch up a little.

 

When My Honey got home, we watched another couple episodes of GOT.

 

That pretty much sums up the day.

Didn't do so hot with the steps.

I though I would be back at it by now but can't seem to get my but in gear.

 

I have no doubt that I will though so I am not stressing about it too much.

Kiddos and Presents (Jan.3, 2018)

I was feeling pretty tired this morning so no early morning work out for me.

 

261.4 lbs was my weigh in for today.

 

It was back to work today, nice to see everyone after the holidays.

Nice to go back on a Wednesday too, makes for a short week which is awesome.

 

So I didn't really make any new years resolutions this year.

They always seem to be the same thing anyway.

 

I do have a few goals that I want to work on though.

 

The first is that I want to get my debt paid down.

I don't really have a plan on how to do it but I want to at least be conscious of it and make an effort.

 

My other goal is to get some races in.

I want to run a couple of 5k's, maybe a couple of 10 k's and then a 1/2 marathon by the end of the year.

 

And that is it.

 

My brother had to work late so asked if I would watch the kiddos and of course I was happy too!

 

We hung out on the couch and took selfies.

Guess I'm the only one that got the memo about making silly faces!

It's not often that I can get him to sit still for pictures but he was taking it very seriously tonight.

They still had a few presents under the tree from my son and his girl so they came over to watch the kids open their gifts (don't know why I didn't take a picture of them).

There were a few presents under there for them from my niece (their sister) as well but I wouldn't let them open them until she could be there to watch.

Mr H was really trying to sneak some to open so I had to find something else to keep him occupied.

 

CANDY!!!

He loves candy so I let him pick a few treats to have.

 

Miss A was happy because I had minty chocolates which she loves!

I made them kraft dinner for supper but guess I should have waited until after they ate to give them treats because Mr H wouldn't touch it.

He didn't even have one bite.

He was super excited to see My Honey when he got home from work and there was no way I would have got him to sit and eat at that point.

I didn't worry about it too much, he isn't starving and what are aunties for if not to give treats instead of dinner?

 

Facebook Memory Time

 

These were from a trip to Vegas back in  January 2015.

 

We always try to stop at the Oyster Bar in Harrah's while we are there.

We both love oysters on the half shell.

My sister had come up for Christmas that year.

These are the boys at mom's - they are so cute.

Another meal in Vegas.

It was a burger from Guy Fieri's place there on the strip, this was My Honey's but I tried the burger and it was super good.

Had wings too which were hot and tasty.

We checked out the High Roller.

We found a groupon so it saved us a few bucks.

 

It goes up pretty high.

We lucked out because they can fit alot of folks in each of the pods but in ours there was only us and another couple.

We wanted to go at night because we thought a view of all the lights would be nice and we were right.

I just love all the lights - so pretty.

After we got off, we walked into the parking lot behind it to take this picture.

We also went to see Jabbawockeez.

They were dancers that had been on America's Got Talent.

We enjoyed the show.

My fitbit stats are pretty low today because I forgot to put it on.

I took it off to charge it then forgot about it.

 

I didn't do much today anyway so the totals would have been low (not this low) but low.

 

Ended up watching some GOT again so stayed up late.

Some exciting things are happening and after each episode ended I just had to watch the next one to see what happened.

We did eventually get to bed but I know I won't be getting up for an early morning work out tomorrow.

 

I will get back at it though, ABSOLUTELY!

 

That is all for today.

Until next time, be happy!
