Friday Funnies & Shout Out to CF

Shout out to CF who is running the Santa Shuffle tomorrow with her fam jam. Good luck! You will do great! We want a pic of medal #2!

Now onto the funnies:

What have we been up to?

Last Thursday we had to go pick up a parcel from the Post office which is now located in the Guardian.  They conveniently placed the parcel pick up in the back of the store which means we could not walk by without passing and buying these.  The first (of many) CHOCOLATE BALLS of the season.

Every night after work and on weekends Twin 1 has to take her pups out to release their energy and the goal is to make them look like this at the end of it.

On Saturday morning Twin 1 went with our friend to start his Christmas Shopping.  He bought a few things along with A & W for lunch. TEEN BURGER!!

After Twin 1 finished Christmas shopping with him she went home and then picked up Twin 2 and they went out to Tantallon Canadian Tire and walked in and saw this lovely creature.

It makes you want to buy a white tree doesn't it?

As you know Twin 2 is packing up her house so while Twin 1 was over on Sunday Twin 2 pulled out some Candy Cane coffee that Twin 1 gave her last year and didn't end up drinking so Twin 1 took it home and had a cup.

On Dec 1 Twin 1 always puts up her tree but she talked to her husband and he suggested not as we won't be home for Christmas so she will have to settle for her "Reindeer Tree"

And as she does not get a Christmas tree she told her husband that he will have to put up the "light show".  So bright and early Monday morning said husband dug it out of the shed and put it up.  He absolutely hates it and had her believing that he threw it out last year as it never did go up but she found it over the summer and now it is Christmas once again.

Twin 2 had originally planned to go to PEI this weekend to spend time with the BFF and kiddies but this whole house purchase got things off track.   Instead she had some last minute details to piece together and stayed home.  Packing was on the agenda for the weekend.  It has officially started.  For anyone who thought her house was a mess before (anyone?) it's in quite the state right now. 

Workout Wednesday

Is it even worth writing a Workout Wednesday? Let's see....

Wednesday, Nov 26th - Twin 1 took the dogs for a 60min walk around Ashburn

Thursday, Nov 27th - Nada

Friday, Nov 28th - Twin 1 did the 10 min trainer video (and was very sore the next day).

Saturday, Nov 29th -  Twin 1 went shopping :-)  Twin 2 started packing.

Sunday, Nov 30th - Twin 1 did an 80 min walk around Ashburn with the dogs, and both Twin 1 and 2 did our regularly scheduled Zumba.  This week was step Zumba which may be a little bit more fun as we get better but there is only 1 more class before years end.  Should we sign up again?

Monday, Dec 1st -  New month, new beginnings.  Twin 1 & Twin 2 both did video (started the Turbo Jam video series for the month of December).  Hopefully this advent calender will keep us motivated.

Tuesday, Dec 2nd - Both Twin's did scheduled video....2 days in a row! Yay us :-)

Tip Tuesday

Be seen!  With limited daylight, chances are you'll be running in the dark.  Tall snowbanks on plowed streets make you even harder to see.  Wear reflective, fluorescent gear, and don't be shy about lighting yourself up like a Christmas tree.

 

Motivational Monday (for the Twins)

December 1. 

Advent Calander. 

One chocolate a day.

We only get our chocolate if we work out (and it's the good chocolate too).

Let's see if this motivation works because so far nothing else has :(
