IRL

Well well.. October

Where did this year go? work.work.work. some fun here and there.. work.work.work

Those who know me... know I work a lot. I've made an effort to take more time off to do some fun things this year. I've really enjoyed that! I always say that I wont work three jobs forever. I truly believe that. BUT I don't know which job I would give up. I like them all for their own reasons. So for now.. I'll stay at all of them and complain that I don't have enough time for anything extra haha

Glorify being busy? Perhaps. haha

Diet these days is going well. I've been testing out this whole.. does it fit situation and its been fun. Had some bloating going on and obviously a work in progress haha. Open to eating all the things which is fun. Having some binge like moments having some under eating type moments and had some real enjoyment and savory moments .. so really its an overall win!

BIG news.. my friend is having her baby.. next week! Due in November but complications mean babe has to come early. Mom and baby are BOTH HEALTHY thank the lord! But the little one is scheduled to arrive next week so all your positive vibes and good thoughts their way please!

I, of course, WORK so I'll miss it. BUT Auntie Jess will be there right after work the following day :) I'm going to throw out my guess right now.. I'm thinking it could be a boy.. We'll find out next week if I was right haha

Many a wedding this time of year. Which is new for me. Most of my other friends have gotten married in the spring/summer months but this year the first wedding was sept 4th weekend and the last one will be Oct 22. With thanksgiving and a bday part in the weekends in between its proven to be a very busy time of year!

Cuba is coming!! ONE MONTH OUT on Monday and I'm starting to get excited

Have to start tanning otherwise my white ass might be bright pink or a hard red shortly after we arrive haha. Going to look into the twinrix shot since I'm out dated and of course with a lot of my friends and family members doing the 'baby thing' theres talk of the zika virus

Yes. Cuba is considered a 'hot zone' (AKA a tropical zone) I have known several couple that have gone and had no problems and no warnings. I looked into it on the health Canada travel site and they said that they will NOT be testing anyone without at least two symptoms. Online however, it said that sometimes only 1 in 5 people show symptoms and I'm not down with that. SO needless to say... we will continue to wait to start our family.. sorry (not sorry) mom.

You can see how I really feel about that type of topic on another post that I made earlier in the year: my body is not a topic of discussion

That's all these days... lots of food dates in my future.. this weekend alone although I have Monday off ( a day off with pay?? sign me up!) but a friends bday on Friday, in laws dinner on sat, my family on sunday and a friends-giving on Monday.. holy Hannah!

Got to keep it in check.. there's another chance for another meal (like the next day!) and I will not be missing out


good luck this weekend ya'll stretchy pants ;)

Food For Thought...

I was cruising around Facebook today on my day off (not a normal day off for me) and I came across this article/blog that someone had shared http://tonygentilcore.com/2014/08/an-open-letter-to-everyone-who-has-told-women-dont-get-too-muscular/ It's a mans blog where he's highlighting another blogger (a woman) who writes about Women who lift and are told not to get too manly I found it interesting and thought it was share worthy :) Certainly an interesting topic from the point of view from someone who was very skinny/frail/thin etc and was never told that she should worry about getting too skinny and the astigmatism that follow women's bodies too fat too skinny too this ... to that.. I have also been told that I should worry about gaining too much muscle.. its not sexy (legit a guy told me that at the gym ) my own mother warned me about looking like a man I've been lifting and dieting like an athlete for almost 2 years and I look anything but mannish

I want to quit

 Remember that scene in friends where Chandler and Ross go and try to quit the gym?  Yeah, I grew up in the 90s.  The point of the post being that I am thinking of quitting the gym.  When I was on mat leave I went 2-3 x a week and worked out at home while the baby napped. For whatever reason it wasn't an issue to get actual workouts in. I had a plan, I did several styles of workouts and what maintaining pretty well.  Fast forward to Nov (almost December) and I haven't stepped foot in the gym for about 10 days.  Covid is obviously still a thing and the cases are at an all time high. For whatever reason, I'm not as nervous as I was about it back in March.  We have also had a head cold or two run through the house and it's really ignorant to go out to the gym while you're not feeling well (full disclosure I was 100% that person pre-covid) I have been lucky not to have to miss any work due to colds or my son getting sick. Between him being OKd to return to daycare and m

Hiking during a pandemic

As the title proves, things have been a bit strange. 2020 has been a bit of a ride already and we are approx halfway through the year As if I have to spell it out? Covid-19 is here and all over the news etc. For me, I was still on maternity leave so not a lot changed. Who I saw changed though. I only saw my husband and the soon to be toddler. My husband did the grocery shopping since he was the one who was at work still and I didn't see my parents or my sister for about 8wks? It actually was a long time We live in a different town than our immediate families but we see our families (at least mine) pretty regularly.  Hubby did take 2wks off, he had vacation time still from work so he used it to stay home with us and honestly it went a lot better than the beginning of mat leave (real talk)  In that 2wk period the baby cut his first two teeth (yes, at 11 months) and started walking! So it ended up being a perfectly timed vacation time  Now that things have opened a bit where we live.
