now that i am feeling much, much better i have been on the go... i have a long list of things to do, people to see and stuff to gather. |
 |
yesteday, while out and about, i heard a little voice in my head... "go to the thrift shop" before i even parked the car i had a feeling that something in there was mine to have. |
 |
$4 ...love... |
 |
lately i am so into granny squares and bright colours. you know, someone's grandma or mama made this with love... and i completely appreciate it. |
 |
it was cold and very snowy and blowy... but it was excellent!! this was the first time these races had ever been held on a main street. before last night this street was bare. truckload after truckload of snow was brought in to create the route. |
 |
huntsville hosted 97 ontario high school nordic teams. (oh look! here comes little heather!!) |
 |
it was so exciting to see our friend come down the street fighting for first place during her lap of the relay. |
 |
YAY! ...she looks so serious here... (they came first by the way) |
 |
then it was the senior boys' turn... |
 |
and again we were cheering on our racer in first place during his lap... oh how fun...i came home soaked to the skin... and i can't feel my toes, but it was completely worth it. |
 |
my grade 8 girl and her volleyball team. |
 |
i am pretty sure i know why the coach put her on the team... |
 |
whether she makes a hit or a miss, she is a happy girl. |
 |
she brings the team some good, old fashioned positive energy. |
 |
her job is to spread it around... |
 |
especially while on the bench. |
 |
she played a bit and sat a lot... |
 |
but she did it with the right intentions... and that always makes me proud. xox |
 |
i was thinking of a "wordless wednesday" post, but i just couldn't do it. |
 |
the main reason was that i wanted you to know... |
 |
that i was feeling the love... thanks for your sweet words and well wishes. i am feeling better. more like me. still improving by the minute (except for the sniffles that arrived today) |
 |
i am optimistic. i am loved. xox thank you |
 |
while i wait to feel better, i'll keep doing my very best. |
 |
i'm really proud of how i'm taking special care... i also see the smart choices my girls are making. it helps the mama to have their co-operation. |
 |
they understand what's going on and they are my greatest motivation to get back on track. |
 |
oliver has been by my side every minute. he watches me wash and chop and peel... wishing for a bit of apple or carrot or pepper or onion. he likes it all...whatever flies off the cutting board. *** he's my walking (learning to run) buddy too. i let him on the treadmill first. he goes for a little run and then he lays on his pillow and waits for me to finish... and of course he cuddles when i am not feeling my best. |
 |
by the end of this week i should have some answers and i hope to be feeling much, much better soon. xox |
 |
this little chart explains it all. i have ALWAYS known... that all i have to do is THINK of certain foods and i gain a pound and being insulin resistant only makes it worse. *** so the good news is that i've been making really good choices... spinach, kale, tomatoes, red peppers, avocado, lentil, quinoa, whole grain breads, oatmeal, water, water, water... green tea, green tea, green tea, cinnamon, apples, nuts, berries..... you get it right? the bad news is i have had terrible sinus/neck/throat pain for the last week... just not feeling like myself, haven't taken a single photo... hopefully i'm on the mend and back to normal... or should i say, back to myself :) xox |
