CanAus Pre-weight loss challenge

this is what a friend had to say, as motivation and this helps already! thanks sarah :)

"All I know is I've always been told to stay away from sugar and carbs... so if you wanna eat pasta or rice eat brown or wild rice and if you want pasta then eat gluten free or whole wheat. Also recently I've been told to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning with a shot of lemon juice in it. (temp is your desire) but it helps clean the toxings from your body and helps you get rid of junk in your system that's been built up over time. Best of Luck in this... keep us posted"

keep this coming, this def helps as I need all the help I can get! lol

CanAus Weght Loss Challange!

I am sooooo excited. My bestie is australia, Nicole and I have come up with this GREAT weight loss challange we have named CanAus (short for Canada/Australia) I currently have a wedding dress to fit into and have 20 lbs I want to lose. The challange we have come up with is all on our own, meaning however we feel we want to lose it is up to us, but we are going to keep eachother motivated with daily recipes, inspirational quotes, recipes etc. I have been feeling not very happy with my body weight, and how I feel etc so I thought this was a perfect way to stay connected and keep eachother pumped along the way. The challange starts March 1st and continues through May 1st, 2011. I plan on following Canada's food guide and cutting out junk (chocolate, chips etc) that seem to hold me back lol, but also excersising atleast 3 times per week at the gym :)
If anyone has any helpful hints, recipes, please let me know, the more help the better, I plan I being 20 lbs lighter by May 1st :)

wedding bells!

The time has finally come, I have only waited for this day since I was 5 years old!
I am getting married this september, I am over the moon about it and couldnt ask for a better man to share my life with.
As much as I knew saying yes would start a feud, I didnt think it would be this bad. The more I think about starting this blog, the more I think its the best thing I can do to get things off my chest.
I have been battling a relationship with my mother for almost 30 years now, and I guess I just thought that my wedding day would make her realize what she really does to a persons heart. I know its for the best, but everyday I wonder if I did the right thing by letting go. I am very sick from being so sick to my stomache everytime I get off the telephone with her, and being in tears. Life isnt easy and I know that this is a test of who I am as a person. For anyone who has known me long enough knows that I have had nothing but bad memories about my her, I hated my childhood and have many  good memories of her. I hate to say it, and some people may not like or agree with what is said, but I know I will sleep better knowing that I have such  great support system elsewhere, and that the rest is in gods hands.

I cannot wait for my wedding day! There is no doubt in my mind that this is who I want to marry. He is my shoulder to cry on, my rock and my life and if he  can put up with me at my worst, which he has seen MANY times, then this man is mine for eternity.

Stay tuned for wedding plans, details and stories, as I am sure there are many more to come.

thanks to all my listeners.

just getting started...

Hey everyone!

well, a very good friend of mine encouraged me to start a blog, so here I am thanks Nicole! She suggested it was a great way to keep friends, family near and far posted on my upcoming events. I think this is a great idea, thanks again for your encouragement!
