Friday Funny

1/2 year update

In the middle of the year we like to look back at our goals for 2016 to see how we are doing.  It is June so now's the time.

2016

Fitness:

Twin 1: Be as fit as I used to be and take care of myself on a regular basis - not quite there yet but maybe by the end of the year
Twin 2: Make healthier choices - I'm learning
Both:Bike/run total of 2016km this year and finish the JM workout program once and for all!

- did well at the beginning, fell away a bit but we joined the Great Cycle Challenge in June so this may help with the 2016km.  We had a plan to start running again but once we started biking we might wait until June is over and start running in July. 

- started JM, didn't finish.  Maybe we will have better luck in the next half of the year.

Finance:

Twin 1: Pay off Credit Card and bring Credit line down to a manageable amount so that in 2017 if property in NH becomes available like a few did this past year then we could make a purchase. - nope
Twin 2: Pay off bills and save for a football trip - nope

Personal:

Twin 1: Be more adventurous and social.  Cook better meals for the family with more variety. - I have cooked better for myself but hubby doesn't like much. - haven't really had the opportunity to be more social yet but summer is coming so I'm sure I will have chances.  
Twin 2: Be positive and stand up for myself/opinions when need be. - I'm getting there.  I made a decision to get away from the negativity of my old office and got a new job and so far things have been much more positive.  New job, new leaf.  

Wha'd up?

We went to see Central Intelligence on Monday.  It was funny.  We went to the 5:20 pm showing and there were 7 people in the theatre (including us).  This will be our new movie time in the future.  Before Monday we had not been to the theatre in over 6 years.  We got free tickets with Twin 1 hubby's Scene card but Twin 2 spent that amount on Pretzel Bites/Pop/M&M's.  Note to self, be more prepared and bring snacks with us.  We always heard that they check your bag at the theatre for such things...but rules must've changed in 6 years.  There was actually no one even there to check our tickets after we bought them so we marched right on in.  We could have had Sobey's bags full of goodies and on one would be the wiser.  I guess 5:20 pm is the perfect time to go.

While the movie was going on this was happening in our area.  Forest Fire! (no one was hurt or any buildings damaged)

Over the weekend Twin 1, the pups and our friend BD took a hike on the Bluff Trail.  They did the first loop and it took 2.5hrs. Someday we might explore a little of the Blue Loop when we are more prepared with food and water.

This is us enjoying the view half way.

We have been continuing the Bike Challenge and we have about 40k each left to travel.  The past few times we have been doing the stationary bike as the clouds have been big and black by bike time.

Also, last night was supposed to be our golf lesson...third week in a row it was cancelled due to weather.  HOPEFULLY the weather shapes up next week or we'll be trying to get these lessons made up for the rest of the summer.

Tip Tuesday

"There comes a point, no matter how good an athlete you are, no matter how well trained you are, that it's going to transcend the physical, and become about the mental. You better get rid of that comfort zone real quick."
