So in my effort to gain weight, I've started to eat more, thinking more calories = more body fat, but I think it back fired. The more I eat, hungrier I get! I already have a fast-paced metabolism, and eating more just made it faster.
It's a good thing I don't take smoke or coffee breaks. Instead, I have Eating Breaks!
Note to self: Hurry up and find a gym so I can convert my calories in muscle before they disappear.

Sister
Sisters are great! I love mine. L.O.V.E.
We are the best of friends! Miles is out of town again this week, and her husband is in Edmonton, so what's the only solution? A sleepover!! We stayed up late talking and looking at pictures and enjoying each other's company.
Love you, Leia!

King Me!
On our vacation this past Christmas, Miles and I enjoyed the spaciousness of a king sized bed. No fighting for covers, there's plenty of space to run and hide if it gets too hot, or you can still snuggle if it gets too cold. Needless to say, we moved into our new place, where a king will fit, and voila!! Happiness the rest of our lives!
So the Mammoth arrived Saturday, and after Miles and I pushed and pulled and shoved, we finally got it up the stairs and in the room where it belongs. Everytime I walk by the room and see the bed, and I am overcome by its magnificance.
Saturday was one of the best days of my life.

Curse Facebook
Funny Story:
So Miles is out of town, as you know, and I'm partying it up. Well, I had the YW over last night for a chick-flick...Party On!
But usually when Miles goes away we opt for no phone calls. To save $$$. But I get a very nice posting on my wall from him on Tuedsay, and oh isn't that sweet? But then nothing Tuesday night, nothing Wednesday. No phone call (although I wasn't really expecting one), and no more postings on FB. That's okay. We can catch up when he gets home.
But wait! FB changed their layout, and the Messages notification is how hidden in a far off place. Today I see it, to find TWO message from my sweetheart. He does love me! He writes me Tuesday AND Wednesday. The latter message indicated fear that he caused me censure. It's not true! I love you, I'm not mad! It's all Facebook's fault, I couldn't find your messages!
Thank goodness I could write him back and tell him so.
The End.

All Alone
So my beloved husband is off and away this week, working out in Drumheller. That means I have the whole house to myself...no sharing the TV, no hot water running out, it's great :)
Last night for dinner, I made the best steak, if I do say so myself. There I was, sitting at my kitchen table, all alone, just munching on this delicious steak as it melted in my mouth. My garlic mashed potatos were divine, and of course, some broccoli. We all need our greens! After that, with the flavour still sitting on my tastebuds, I went and soaked in a steaming hot tub. Paradise!

And the Research Begins...
Okay, so in amongst my having to work overtime, I have looked into the following:
-Personal Trainers
-World Health
-MRU facilities
And my conclusion is this: personal trainers are EXPENSIVE!! If I had the cash flow, then maybe I would, but I don't. Remember the house I just bought not too long ago? Ya, along with that are utility bills. Yikes!
So I'm living my reality: bills, bills, bills. Yes, Shani is now a proud member of the real world. Thanks for letting me join! (sense the sarcasm?)
But I was also looking at different facilities, and although World Health is literally right outside my door, MRU offers more for less. What more can you ask for? Oh ya, a personal trainer - $$$. Well since we've already determined that's out of the question, next step: BUDDY!
I need a work-out buddy. Someone I tell what's going on, and someone who needs to rely on me as much as I need to rely on them. I have some people in mind, now I just need to approach them, hopefully with not-so-needy plea. No one likes a needy person.
So my while my campaign for companionship is flourishing, remember that I haven't officially started tracking yet. I'm still on step one!
And thank you to those who have offered your support thus far, it makes me feel motivated knowing others are rooting for me!
