In other news, I am learning to play the Guitar! I have already learned these chords: D, A, G and E, E7 and Em. I never thought I would be so excited about it, but it just seems like a fun thing to learn and a good pass time. Right now I am learning to play the intro of Sugarland’s Settlin’.

Tonight we watched the Canada VS USA game . It was pretty intense. Unfortunately, we lost. But it’s not over yet!

Well there was a little afternoon excitement for me today, attempting to make some buns and cinnamon buns, I was using a couple different kinds of flour I have in the cupboard to use it all up. I opened one bag (was previously opened), And there was like a million bugs crawling around in it. I almost puked! I was so grossed out and thoroughly checked everything else, but that was the only rotten bag, thank god!  Fortunately there is no pictures, I wouldn’t put you through that.

FAIL! Buns were a flop, they were all grainy and blah. Sucks to be me.

Supper: Pike filet with dill butter sauce and dry curd cottage cheese and broccoli

Evening Snack: apple, Vanilla Coconut Chia pudding, and an orange.

Are you giving up anything for Lent? Or are you improving on something instead?

Breakfast: Apple

Post Workout: Vanilla Coconut Chia Pudding (recipe from Angela’s blog, modified)

Lunch: Egg noodles with sweet n sour sauce.

Snack: Organic broccoli and carrots with ranch dressing

So disappointed, The Biggest Loser isn’t on tonight, I almost cried. I look forward to Tuesday nights with the gang. And it’s not on again until March 2nd. I think I just might cry, whatever will I do!

Let’s to do a recap of this long weekend:

Monday’s a  holiday, Family Day, it’s only a holiday in Saskatchewan, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and PEI. As well as a couple of the states, etc. Basically, if you had Monday off, then you know what it is.

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver have been on, and surprisingly we’ve been watching it a fair amount. We won a Gold Medal, that’s pretty cool. Canada Rocks!

Valentines was celebrated on Saturday, I was taken out for a lovely supper at my favourite place, Red Lobster, where I stuffed my face with crab legs. I did not hold back. As well as I was taken out for Lunch to an awesome place downtown that I have never heard of. It was called Souleio. We dined on Steelhead Panini’s, they had a citrus cream cheese and spinach. It was AH-mazing.

This weekend was pretty chillen. It was a movie renting weekend. Such movies as, The Hurt Locker, Zombieland and Hunger.

My Secret Bloggie Valentine, Jocelyn got my package. It included postcards of my amazing city! And Saskatoon Berry Tea. Hope you enjoy!

I received a message from my Secret Bloggie Valentine, Susan, where I was instructed to go to Brainsport and "get myself something warm". But unfortunately they were closed today for the holiday, so I am eagerly waiting to go tomorrow!

I got in a workout today, did 2 miles on the Cross trainer and did my Arms and Back strength training. It was super busy at the gym today since a lot of people had the day off.

So I think that will it for now, I don’t need to babble on for hours.

Are you watching the Winter Olympics?

I am back to tracking calories again, not religiously, but I want to keep an eye on how much I am eating, since my weigh in and measurements yesterday, obviously I am doing something VERY wrong. So it is time to take more action. Usually I use a program to track, but since I don’t want to obsess too much, I am doing it the old school way, writing it down on paper. It might not be exact, but it gives me a good idea of where I am at for the day.

Here’s what I ate today:

Breakfast - 1 apple and 2 slices 7-grain toast with light butter

Lunch (post workout) – large caesar salad with hemp seeds

Snack – 1 navel orange and 1 apple

Supper – Vegetarian Bean Chili with cheese

Snack  – Small Oreo Cheesequake blizzard from Dairy Queen

I picked up something new and exciting today. It’s an Organic Sprout Growing Kit, I’ll be able to grow my own spouts inside, even in the winter, and since I can’t really have a garden, super pumped. Definitely will be more on that once I get it going growing!
