midnight snackers

I wish I was one of those people who can buy snacks (relatively healthy ones, like multi grain Tostito's) and only eat a serving a day and then leaving the rest for another day/snack. But I'm not. I am the type of person who can not bring snacks or treats into the house in large quantities because I will eat every, last one upon them entering the house. I might make it until bedtime, but then I might wake up to pee and think 'mmmmm, chppies...' and before returning the warm safety of my bed bypass the kitchen and eat the whole bag. I'm not proud of this, but I know myself well enough to not bring these things into the house. Unfortunately this mems my kids suffer (I guess I can justify it by saying that they don't need the stuff either, but hell, they are kids and as a kid you should be able to eat some of the crap mommy can't!). Anyway, this is my thought of the day....

Today is my much needed day of rest. I worked out 5 days this week and my body is tired. I'm hoping to take in a Zumba class at Core Essentials tomorrow - there is a new teacher that Shanan is raving about so I thought I'd try it out. It's fun and a great way to get that cardio in for the week.

Since I've mentioned Core Essentials, check out the work they are doing to the business - http://www.coressentials.ca/demo-time-core :

When I started training with Laurissa we workout outside  - even if the weather was bad. It was fun, I loved it! This was in July of 2009. By Novemeber Laurissa had bought herself a building and started to increase her business from her basement to this beautiful old heritage building in the downtown of Dartmouth. Due to the was the pervious owner had separated the building for tenants the only way to the second floor was via an exterior stairway. So basically there was a large unit on the ground floor, and a large unit with a loft on the second.

After the reno's are done the building will be whole again - interior staircase, two shower/change rooms on the ground floor and a large studio space! The upstairs will be largely altered except that the large storage room (coats, closet, etc) will now have the groundfloor stairs exiting into it. Its perfect! And I'm so proud of Laurissa for being so sucessful in making her business grow. She's found a pocket in the market with the unique Water Rowers and RealRyders and lined up some excellent instructors (and just this week brought Craig Guthrie into the fold).  Its must be an exciting and stressful time, but she's really doing such a great job! Keep up the good work Laurissa!!

Ok, well I gotta get ready for the day - I'm pulling in some overtime today by working the Home Show booth. Also, I'm mentally trying to phsyche myself up for the X-Weighted weigh in tomorrow am - last week I was up 2 lbs......I'm feeling positive...fingers crossed!
