Gym Fiasco

So today I went to the gym, good right? Well I arrived later than planned but I made the best of it and worked my tail off. I went to go into the shower and realized that I had forgotten my towel. So as a last resort I used the t-shirt I had just worked out in, which clearly defeats the purpose. After that I went to brush my hair and I had forgotten my brush, thankfully I had a comb but needless to say it did not do its job! So I finally get ready, using my moisturizer bottle as a round brush, and I walk to my locker where there is a women, fully naked, bending over towards me in front of my locker. I can see everything, and I mean everything! So I squeeze my way in, trying not to look at anything, when she starts up a conversation with me. I mean my arm is practically touching her breasts and I wish I could have said: "I don't want to talk to you lady, your NAKED!" So I got out of there as fast as I could! Who says your life can't be like the movies?

Busy Busy Busy

So this semester I have decided that I am going to try and be "Super Melody" and do absolutely everything! I am taking 6 upper level courses, which to date are requiring me to write 8 essays. I am also leading a lifegroup for a bunch of youth girls, and being a friday night youth leader. I have agreed to be come our church's Ministry Team Leader for grade 2-4 and teach throughout the semester. This is all other than my part time job, which takes up 20 hours of my week! I have to say that with all this busyness I have had no time to clean the house or do laundry! Thankfully my wonderful husband has been an amazing help with doing the dishes and working at the housework, I couldn't appreciate that more! This afternoon is the first time in almost two weeks that I have had more than an hour at home that wasn't after 10pm, I am planning to get a lot accomplished! I am going to finish the laundry, clean the bathroom, begin my essay, make a fabulous dinner (Pasta Shells stuffed with Ground Turkey and Cheese) and watch the season premiere of Survivor China. What's the expression: "With great plans, comes great success"? I hope that is true of the ambitious semester I have set out for myself. Wish me luck!

Sunny Day

So I have officially started school again and I have to say that there is nothing like walking on my campus on a beautiful sunny day with the wind blowing and the creek rippling. All I can do is be thankful to God for the sunny, BC-like day with no humidity! I hope everyone (the few of you who read this) are having as great a day as I am, or was as I am off to bed now.

PIZZA!!

Despite how much I love to cook, and despite how much time I put into making meal plans and grocery shopping...tonight I am tired from work and just want to order pizza! In other news I found this really cool "Health Journal" in Chapters today. Each page has places to record what I eat for each meal, exercise, water, goal, weight and date. It is like a jazzed up version of a Weight Watcher journal. I have been on WW for a while now, but it ended a few weeks ago and I lost 12 lbs but I subsequently gained 2 of them over my holidays so....instead of spending the money on another 3 months I have decided to have another go of it at home. I will use my new journal and have Sam weigh me in on Thursday mornings (which was my regular WW time). I am also going to try and email with another friend of mine who is also trying to lose weight, I am hoping that this motivation and accountability will help me lose a bunch of weight before christmas! This of course conveniently coincides with my decision to eat pizza tonight and start tomorrow. Wish me luck!
