Day 5
Nov 10 2009 09:01

So it would appear to be another beautiful day in Southern Ontario. It is amazing how the nice weather can put me in a good mood!

Yesterday was another really great day. I was full of energy and so I managed to get some things done around the house.  As we have recently dealt with the lovely N1H1 thing in our house I thought it a good idea to bleach down everything to make sure it doesn't return. More so as I have many kids through the front door doing my daycare.

So all the kitchen counters, cupboards, appliances, walls and floors got a good cleandown and I was pleased to discover that it burns over 300 calories an hour! Motivation to clean? Who'd of thought!!!

I had a great visit with my friend who I don't see as much now that her kids switched schools. Another friend came over too (although she should of gone home to do her homework. 37 and homework, crazy) I had a blast babbling on about my big plans and it was so nice to see them smiling and feeling happy for me.  No treats to be had, just a nice cup of tea and good company.

The homework ditcher is having a get together at her house this Friday and I told her not to take offence when I don't eat much. There will be like a bazillion calories on the table (she says she can't help herself, shes greek) I'm not to worried about it though. They maybe sad though, I was going to make deep fryed mars bars for them all (1000 calories per bar) which is a no go now.

The nice thing was when they went to leave. I had told them about my friend Laura's suggestion that I reward myself each week with some little thing like a fancy Starbucks drink or something. Well as my one friend was leaving she smiles at me and tells me that she is so proud of me for the decisions I am making. SHe then hands me a gift card for Starbucks and says that she agrees with Laura and that she believes in me. It was such a simple kind gesture and it meaqnt so much to me.

Each weekend I am going to get that "Fat free earl grey tea misto with sugar free vanilla syrup" and think of her. Amazing.

So I said I would post a picture of me today, which was a lie because last night was really busy. I will do it soon though...before it falls away:)

I hope anyone reading this has a great day, and feels the love around them.
