Resolution check

Is everyone managing to keep up with their resolutions? I know I am! Day 39 of 366 is photographed, 70 laps have been swam& I'm still writing in my day-by-day calendar every evening. I have to say, this is going pretty swimmingly.

Today's photo is of my faja. He's a pretty cool guy. He used to come to the barn& take photos for me because he's just that awesome. He works away& he doesn't have a blog, unlike my mother, so he doesn't get mentioned around here as much. Plus, he doesn't read my blog so hopefully Mom passes on the memo that today's post is about him :D You rock, pops!

He is pretty good to me. I have to say, I think I'm his favorite. Don't tell my brother. Dad is too kind to ever admit it out loud but I know ;) I also love this photo of dad .. you can tell how happy he is! I'd say it was to see me but I'm pretty sure he just looks that happy 24/7 in his garage. Seriously. Him& my boyfriend are very similar when it comes to liking the garage more than the house. Actually, my mom really loves the garage too. That's currently where her& Dad are. I'm not sure why .. I don't get the attraction.

PS half-marathon training is going well. Managed 70 laps in the pool this evening. Then I ate some eggs, an Orange Julius smoothie& just a little slice of chocolate cake with boiled icing. SO GOOD. I'm practically super ready.

So, I re-ask.. is everyone else keeping up with their resolutions?! What were they& are you glad you made them? I am so glad I made mine .. well, until I fail miserably with keeping up with them, that is.

Training.

Tonight I did what I had been putting off.
I made my training schedule for both the Fiddler's Run& the Tour for Kids. It's PSYCHO. It also started on Monday ..but that's because I had awesome intentions of being a super star and starting my training Monday. Obviously, that only sort of happened.

The official training sheet has been printed off and will be posted on the fridge. I may end up printing off a lot of them and scattering them around my house to encourage me to stop doing what I am doing (wasting time most likely) and go do some work. Now, this schedule is PSYCHO. I am already in pretty decent shape though ..can run a 10k and cycle 50k. So it builds slow enough that I SHOULD be able to complete my kilometres a day. If not, it's not the end of the world. Who even trains for a half marathon (possible 10k) and 3-day cycle tour?!


..okay, so probably lots of people but whatever. I'm trying to console myself here. Now, the long awaited (for me, at least. You folks didn't even know this was ever going to exist) schedule has been made and every attempt in the world will be made to keep this as close as possible. All changes will be tracked and kilometres at the end of the week counted.

Yes. I know. It's Tour for Kids, not Ride for the Cure.

Whatever. I'm tired.

So, there's my summer. What do you have planned for the upcoming beautiful months?! Perhaps helping out my cause?!

I also have to give a big shout out& thank you going out to Meaghan Beaton who donated to my cause! She was my first official not-in-Canada donation :D Thanks, girly! Can't wait for you to come back to the island :D

Drift ice!

Ahh .. the further we get into spring, the more it seems like the world might actually warm up! Today was only slightly bitterly cold. So thumbs up for that. Why is it bitter cold? Because I live in a house surrounded by water 3 sides. The water is currently filled with the miraculous thing known as drift ice! I will include a photo perhaps ..depending on my energy level in the next 2hrs (which, yes, is how long it will take me to photoshop all my photos to include them here& publish them!). I'm hoping I'm energetic enough to at least try, because otherwise I am giving up on having energy!

So, today consisted of NOT writing foodborne ..so now I must tackle it on Wednesday morning instead. Ughh to this stupid midterm. Oh well. Hopefully tonight will have something fun occur, like curling up with the boyfriend to watch Heavy& Intervention perhaps?! My all time favorite way to spend a Monday evening!

For now, I'll content myself with watching Dr. Phil (brat-proofing your child ..my future child is going to be so perfect!) and drinking water. I might even indulge in a chocolate chip cookie! So much for the health train, although after Dr. Phil I am actually going to go do Insanity. It's just the fit test, which is nice but still killer. Hoping restarting exercise will restart my energy levels ..can't survive this drained much longer! Keep your fingers crossed, eh? Until then I'm just going to lay uselessly on the couch and think about exercise. That's close to actually doing it, right?

Okay so now it's 5.20PM. Cookies have been enjoyed, photos have NOT been taken and exercise has been done! Call me almost completely productive ..so close. If I could just get some energy to take photos, life would be so much better! Although currently I'm here in pj pants, an LA Lakers shirt and a big bottle of water that is almost empty! None of this is conducive to going for a photo. So many photos need uploading, photoshopping and posting. Blargh ..this project 365 thing is way harder than I imagined! It's also funny how I'm just leaving this unpublished and randomly updating it with how unproductive I've been. Okay, next section will include photos& also be the last!

Alright, now! Photos for today+ 2 days ago:
Starting with Saturday's photo, which is a photo of gum from work. It looks, oddly, like a photo I took a long time ago when I first got my camera. This is unique for 2 reasons:
1. I have, clearly, not improved at all ahahah
2. I rock at being productive at work!

Most excellent ..now onto yesterday. Yesterday was a photo of the flower my boyfriend got me for Valentine's Day. No, it isn't still alive .. yes, I should probably throw it away. I had, up to this point, yet to take a photo of it though. I figured I'd snap one while it was withering away slowly on top of our water cooler!

Now, onto my photo for today! My intention was to go outside and get a photo that represents spring. That, however, did not occur. Instead, I opted to just take a photo in the bathroom. Luckily for you, it's not of anyone peeing! It's of Benefit makeup ..but it's sort of pretty! I think so, at least :)

Okay, now I'm done for the day. This was perhaps the longest, most procrastinating blog post in all of history! Hope it was worth the time it took me to write it ..enjoy ladies& gentlemen :) Oh, by the way ..I'm leaving you with a post from someecards that I feel is relevant to my life at this moment:
