Friday Funny

This is SO us!

It's Beginning to Feel Alot like Christmas

It’s just the beginning of November but Christmas comes fast and we are trying to get an “early” start on it.  We’ve sat down and wrote out our Christmas lists and possible gifts for each person.  We’ve also wrote our Peanut Butter Cup List and have figured how many batches we need to make and how many weeks left to make them.  Turns out we need to make about 2 batches per weekend starting this weekend.

Monday we are taking off work to make an extra long weekend as Remembrance Day is on Tuesday.  Monday we plan on shopping, either in Dartmouth or Moncton depending on weather and hoping to get a lot of our Christmas List marked off.

The Holiday Parade of Lights is Nov 15 and this technically marks the beginning of the Holidays for us.

We are excited. 

The wreaths went up for the parade!!

Workout Wednesday

We have started a new segment called Workout Wednesday where we update you on our workouts for the past week.  This Workout Wednesday won't be too long of a post as we took a week off last week which of course was not planned, it just happened.

We will start with the day after the BLT Fun Run as you’ve seen we partook in.  After our Fun Run that evening we went here:

For one of these:

Sunday, Oct 26 we did our regularly scheduled Zumba.

Monday, Oct 27 we were to start Phase 2 of Body Revolution but as Twin 2 has misplaced hers she is doing Shred instead which she did on this day.  Twin 1 went running with her hubby and her two dogs.  Now as hubby has not run in quite some time we were just going to run 1k.  He hit 1k and decided to keep going.  Twin 1 hoped he would have stopped as she could not breath he was going so fast.  He took off and she ran/walked the 2^nd k.  We then stopped at the lake for a few minutes to let Onyx swim and then started the way back out the trail for 3km.  At this point Twin 1 COULD NOT keep up so she handed the dogs over to him and he took off with them so she was left to run by HERSELF in the TRAIL at DUSK with COYOTES!  She picked up some speed as she was running from freight and this 4k run was the fastest kilometers she has ever done all at once.  She did not run with him again…..as of yet…as he has not either.  The average pace for her was 7:15/km and his was faster.

When Twin 1 arrived at work Monday morning this was on her desk as a THANK YOU for signing CC up for her first 5k and making her do it.   If that’s the thanks she gets, she's signing her up for all runs :)

Tuesday, Oct 28 Twin 2 did her video again.

Wednesday/Thursday neither one of us did anything.

Friday, Oct 31 was Halloween so Twin 1 took the afternoon off and took the girls to Long Lake to get the energy out before treat or treaters came so she walked around there for 2 hours.  It was a beautiful fall afternoon.

On the way home Twin 1 thought she better get ONE LAST Pumpkin Spice Latte because once November comes the Christmas drinks would be out and therefore no more PSL’s.  Also, on the way home she decided to stop into the Guardian for some items and left the coffee and dogs in the car…..not even thinking!

She came out and both dogs were thoroughly enjoying her PSL.  She was too mad to take a picture but they were quite happy with themselves.  The cover wasn’t even hardly damaged.  It looked like they picked it up with their teeth and got to the good stuff.

That evening Sister Wi got off early and brought her another PSL when she heard she had to share her's with the dogs.

Saturday, Nov 1st, once again, nothing.

Sunday, Nov 2^nd was once again regularly scheduled Zumba (good thing for Zumba).

Monday, Nov 3 Twin 1 started Phase 2 of Body Revolution and has come to terms with that fact that if she wants to make sure she works out she will have to rise at 5 a.m and get it done first thing which is what she did.  Twin 2 did not work out but made a schedule up for the rest of the month.

Tuesday, Nov 4 we both did our video.

Tip Tuesdsay

Squat jacks build strength from the feet up through the hips for better transfer of power.  To do this exercise, stand in the bottom of a squat position with feet hip-width apart and shoulders stacked over hips, shoot your legs out to the sides and your arms out to shoulder height (like a regular jumping jack) without moving your upper body.  Do 16 to 24 reps.
