Bad Kid

Bad kid keeps forgetting to post! So much going on lately with the end of summer, blogging got pushed to the side. I've been good on goals though. I ran my first 5k race (6 minutes faster than I was hoping for!), and I went to Tobermory (no camping - the weather did not comply. But I went). That's two more goals down! We also did some figuring out about the shed while we were there. That thing is sad, and sorely needs to be replaced. But replacing it will be a big job. One that might require help from quite a few people at once. I'm looking forward to having a usable shed up there again. It's been quite awhile!

My sister and I have been doing some other planning as well. We're currently working together to reach both of our goal weights by December. We actually have the same goal weight because we are the exact same height, but we are slightly different weights now so our progressions will be slightly different. We also carry our weight very differently. I have found that I am lucky and mine has slowly accumulated all over my body, whereas hers is concentrated in the middle. So even though we are close to the same weight, we have very different body shapes. But hopefully soon we will both be smaller! I've convinced her to also do a food journal as part of this, so we are going to be starting that together soon. It's just easier to do it with someone, especially if that person is the one that you eat and cook with.

We are also tentatively planning on going on vacation together (girls vacation!) in late October, if it can work out. We both have to get the time off work first, and since she has only been at her job for a few months we don't really know if it'll pan out. Fingers crossed.

I have been bad at other goals again though, mainly going to the gym, knitting, colouring and sketching. I started taking an adult ballet class once a week, so I'm planning on trying to make it to the gym at least two other times a week. And I've been doing a pilates class at lunch. So if I can keep it up, and change bad eating habits, I should be well on my way for that December weigh in. We're also measuring to see where we've lost the weight (once we lose it, of course). I hope there will be a noticeable difference in the end. We're going to do progress measure once a month too, so I doubt there will be much difference between those. But overall it would be nice to be slimmer, especially in the thighs. Makes pants shopping less evil.

Alright, I'm going to give up on the blogging for tonight, and go colour a page. Baby steps.
