I (almost) talked myself out of it!


So yesterday I was all gung ho to go to my walking group, this morning? Not so much. I thought it would be better to get an extra hours sleep and maybe I'd go across town tomorrow!

Nope, stop right there, isn't going to happen! Right at that moment Snuffy decided it was time for mummy to get up whether I wanted to or not :)

Got up, made a bagel thin breakfast sandwich (i'll never use bagel thins again for that it was nasty) and looked out of the window. Four words came to mind, grey, wet and nasty!! But if I use that as an excuse I may as well be deciding that I'm not going to go any week.

So now I've had my shower, got my things together and yes I'm going, but first I'm having a green smoothie to give me some much needed energy :) I also added a muffin and jam

Loved the walking today and before that I visited one of my favourite parks and even though it was muddy I loved every minute of it!!

Then it was home to a pot of green tea and some relaxing before I made fish and chips for dinner :) I also had yogurt and strawberries but forgot to take a pic!

What lovely pictures!
Congrats to you on getting out, and not letting the excuses creep in. I'm working on that,and it's difficult right now.

Is that an inukshuk (sp?) in the first picture?

spunkysuzi said...

Lori indeed it is!! It's always there but every year it changes :) In the summer it's surrounded by flowers!

Why was the bagel thin nasty? Is it the PC brand? I had them in my hand the other day but put them back as I have trouble controlling breads.

What a great inukshuk!

spunkysuzi said...

I like the bagel thins with jam or sandwich fillings but it made my brekkie sandwich a mess :( yes it was pc.

Sweet pea:
1. :)
2. Today i put almond breeze, baby spinach, banana, 1/4c pineapple and 1/2 scoop of protein!
3. I actually was lucky and got it as part of a freebie from CSN stores.
4. More like i slid into them :)

Oh my goodness, your food always looks so good!
Do you ever end up cheating and eating junkfood though? It's so hard sometimes for me! :(

spunkysuzi said...

Nozomi I do!! And in the past I just don't document it :( I figured i was letting people down. Which is stupid. So a while ago I decided no matter what I'd put it on my blog.
The problem is I've usually already posted my blog for the day. So now you may see it show up the next day!
The only person i'm fooling by not doing it is myself.
Believe you me I believe it's hard for all of us.

I was wishing I'd taken my camera w/ me on my walk this morning. The day started pretty gray and yucky but turned out pretty good. A bit of sun would have been nice, but hey, it did brighten up. SPRING!!! (don't talk about Wednesday's forcast!!).
I'm glad to read that it's not just me who is sooooo motivated in the evening but not so much coming morning... Ugh.

Karlie welcome to my blog :)

Karla said...

looks like a wonderful walk!!!

jenn said...

I would walk too if I had wonderful views like that! Even though it says spring on the calendar, it's still going to be in the 30's by the end of the week in Chicago - so no putting winter coats away yet!

carla said...

*so* pretty.

Terri said...

Wow! Beautiful! What a beautiful place to walk!

Jeniffer said...

What a beautiful place for a walk! Just love your pictures. :-}
I'm thinking it might be helpful to start documenting what I eat/drink/exercise as well--I tend to do fine until hubby dearest offers some enticing, highly-caloric thing every single evening (always!). Most times I cave. Might do me good to have to report on it!

Wow.. love it!!

Ellie said...

Glad you didn't talk yourself out of it. You would have cheated yourself out of a great workout and us out of some beautiful photos!
