Thanksgiving Weekend

Did we run? NO.

No excuses.  Just didn’t.  Since we took a break over the holiday weekend (Sat run and Mon video) that now means we have to double up on workouts to catch up.  We never learn.

We all arrived in New Harbour on Friday evening and we did pretty good eating that night but then it all went down hill from then on.  Saturday there was just too much sweets, chips, sodas, etc in the house.  We also had a great turkey supper with the fam jam.  Both Grandmothers were there along with one of our Aunts who we haven’t seen in forever.  (Side note: we are trying to get one of our family friends to ask our Aunt out for coffee means they both live in the city….he got her number so we will see what happens.)

We didn’t do a whole lot of activity on Saturday.  Sister Wi took the dogs out for an hour walk.  On her way up the driveway after the walk Twin 1 caught her and intercepted her and the dogs and made them walk even further.  It was a great day.  The boys went golfing.  They didn’t tell us they were planning on going until we heard after we just got up “Did you wanna go golfing? We’re leaving in 20 min”…..that was their way of not having to take us.

Early Sunday morning Twin 1 took the dogs for another walk back up Wayne’s Road and we saw Coyote and Bear poo along the way so the wild animals down in Guys. Country are alive and well.  Later in the morning we went to church with the fam jam and then had some left overs and took the dogs to the beach for a few minutes in between the rain showers.  Sunday Twin 2 went back to Halifax as she had more turkey waiting for her in Windsor at the In laws.  For her Sunday was a lazy day of watching football and doing laundry, etc. Zumba was cancelled this week due to the holiday weekend as a lot of people were planning on missing it.  We'll tack that class onto the end of the schedule.

Monday was travelling day so the boys went golfing in the morning and Twin 1 took her doggies to the beach and ran them around the yard.  At this point they were tired from the weekend so after that they slept the whole way home and all night after we arrived home.  Twin 1 cleaned out her car and we had a great drive back as it was a beautiful day.   Twin 2 went to the In Laws for the day and had another turkey meal. 

And now it’s time to work out again.  As I said above we missed our Saturday run and Monday video so we now have to double up the workouts and this is what our schedule looks like this week:

Tuesday – Video 3 & Run

Wednesday – Video 4

Thursday – Video 3 & Run

Friday – Video 4

Saturday – Run

It’s a busy one but we are hoping to put a full week in and while we are doing it maybe it will help us remember how much we hate doubling up workouts the next time we want to skip one.  But as stated above, we never learn.

Also Twin 1 is forgoing the JM meal plan this week and eating/cleaning up what’s in her fridge/freezer and then will start a new next week.   Also her scale is broken so she will weigh herself whenever she is near one in the morning. 

We’ve also put in for vacation time.  We are off the week of Christmas so that should be fun and exciting!! It’s only a few months away.  Anyone want anything special for Christmas?
