Staying Accountable...

Short post for my own personal satisfaction... I decided last night to go an entire week (minimum) without my love...peanut butter.

This may sound like its an easy task to many people...but let me tell you..this is a true test to my own willpower. I'm happy to announce that it is 8:00pm on Friday night and I have no had one single lick of Peanut Butter today. Going strong! gotta keep it that way for 6 more days. I've also up'd my h2o intake, I set alarms for every hour on my phone to remind me to chug some water during the hour.

I thought it would be sorta silly at first, but its actually been so helpful! I've had water by my side literally all day, with the exception of an hour or 2 where I was over at a friends house.

Anyyywaayyyss, thats about all i have for that before i start to ramble. Check in day 1.

Busy Fall

Hey Everyone

Hike up Elk Mountain (September 2012)

I can't believe its been so long since I last made a blog post. Time has just gotten away with me since school started. School, work, gym, eat, sleep & repeat has been my life..somewhat. Throw in some fun days with friends to.


Since I last posted..the weather has SIGNIFICANTLY changed...the temperatures have dropped and the leaves have changed. I can't complain though, it is breathtaking out there. I love the colors and the smells that fall brings. With the welcome of fall, there is the welcome of PUMPKIN everything back into our lives. PSL anyone? ;)

I can't believe it's almost Halloween time! I have to work this year. I always looked forward to giving out candy and seeing all the cute little costumes that are popular that year, I think the Superhero costumes for the boys are always a classic, and the princess costumes, for the little ladies. I remember when I was younger I always wanted to be Dorothy from the wizard of oz! Sadly I never got the chance to be her, but i do remember being Pocahontas, Belle (beauty and the beast), I dream of jeanie, and a FURBY...remember those awful, creepy little things?

Meet Tyler & Belle, his princess

One of my Favorite things about Halloween/Fall festivities is carving pumpkins. I love everything about it, picking a design, carving, gutting and making pumpkin seeds! Last year I made cinnamon pumpkin seeds :) They were so yummy. Sweet and crunchy at the same time :) mmmm. Oh then there is just going to the pumpkin patch, corn mazes, haunted houses, fright night for those of us who live in the lower mainland area! Also the more simple things in life, long walks at the river in great company, leaves changing, cozy nights in watching movies, and having tea or hot chocolate. Cooking dinner at home with friends and just enjoying time together. 

my Questions for you are:

1.Are you doing anything for Halloween? What are you dressing up as?

2. Do you give out Candy, or a healthy alternative to the trick or treaters?

3. Who is pumpkin carving this week??
