2017 Bucket List - Update

Every year we like to look at our goals/bucket list for the year at about the 6 month mark to see how we are doing.  We are a little behind in the time line and also in completing the list. We actually completely forgot what was on our list :)

1. Bike to Chester
2. Wear leggings/dress
3. Buy a foam roller - we didn't buy one but a friend won one and never used it so she gave it to us.  Twin 1 has it as Twin 2 bought the roller ball massager.  She has plans for a review but has yet to post. 
4. Finish JM 90 Day Body Revolution by mid February - so close but no cigar however, we did complete a three month strength training program in the spring, so it is possible.
5. Bike/walk the Salt Marsh trail
6. Run another 10k
7. Check out the Designer Outlet in Bayers Lake
8. Run in shorts/sports bra (probably not at same time) in summer
9. Finish reading Hillary Clinton's book "Hard Choices.  The book was an impulse buy 2 years ago and it's voluminous. 
10.Bike to work (Twin 1)
11. Do 1 unassisted pull up (Twin 1)
12. Bike 2017 km in 2017

We have some work to do this fall/winter.

Wha'd Up?

Last week Sista Wi was on vacay so Twin 2 checked in on the budgies a few times.  We have no problem saying 'yes' as there is always some goodies at her house that we go looking for :)

Just a picture of Lou relaxing in the evening.  He looks pretty content.

Spent Saturday afternoon untangling this beauty.  The picture does not do the tangle justice.

Wha'd Up?

Well here we are.  Twin 1 is still on vacation and it's been a beautiful two weeks for here.  We definitely can't complaint about the weather this summer.  Hopefully it will continue into September.  Today we'll just post some pics of the past few weeks.

1.  This book was referred to Twin 2 by another lover of boy bands.  It's a very easy read and was found in the 'teen' section at Chapters.  (lol)  If anyone wants to borrow it, let us know!

2.  Twin 2 and CF were walking on the boardwalk at lunch one day and these were being given away for free AND we each got two packs!  We thought that was pretty generous.  Our review?  If they are being given away two at a time for free take ONE and form your own opinion.  If you are thinking about buying them, DO NOT. They are ok while they are being eaten but the aftertaste is GROSS.

3. THESE on the other hand, if they are being given away for free take them all!!!  If you were a CAA member, on August 2 you could go into Marble Stone Creamy and get a free cookie sandwich.  Delish!!

4.  Friday was Twin 2's 10 wedding anniversary.  She received a card from Mom and Dad? But we're still not sure who our daddy is.

 5.  Twin 2's cats are just like kids.  Can't have anything nice.  Introducing the faceless giraffe.

Find the best fitness friend

A workout buddy is hugely helpful for keeping motivated, but it's important to find someone who will inspire—not discourage. So make a list of all your exercise-loving friends, then see who fits this criteria, says Andrew Kastor, an ASICS running coach: Can your pal meet to exercise on a regular basis? Is she supportive (not disparaging) of your goals? And last, will your bud be able to keep up with you or even push your limits in key workouts? If you've got someone that fits all three, make that phone call.

Where Are We?

We have not abandoned the blog.  We're just lazy/in vacay mode at the moment.  We will return to regular broadcasting (how sparse it is) shortly.

Wha'd up?

We are still running!!

Also enjoying some walks/hikes at the Bluff. 

Keeping an eye out for bears and coyotes.

Made this salad over the weekend for the week.  We call it "Super Salad".  The ingredients include: spinach, broccoli, feta, cucumber, macadamia nuts, raspberries, blackberries, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes, and avocado with some olive oil/lemon juice for dressing.  And a little turkey bacon for some animal protein.  YUM! YUM!

What'd up?

Its Wednesday already!

Parents came up this past weekend to celebrate all the bdays/anniversary's that are all in July/Aug.
They were rerouted on the drive up and had no idea why but we saw this on Facebook the next day and this was why.

A few went golfing on Friday and Twin 1's hubby wasn't home in time to start cooking for supper so Twin 1 and sister wi figured out how to turn the BBQ on and cook.  Good thing Twin 2's hubby showed up before she shut the BBQ off cause she would have shut it off wrong.  They have directions to turn it on but none to shut it off.  Also she lots a veggie burger down in the BBQ but it all turned out ok.

Twin 1's hubby and Dad went out to look for cars for her as to what she thought but they came home with this!  New to us Truck.  We love it.  Twin 1 drove it last night over to Twin 2's and its so smooth compared to the vechiles they had.  Twin 1 still has her old beater but needs to figure out what she is doing come Sept when the inspection is up.

Hope you all have a great weekend.  This Saturday morning is DIMETIME!

Beauty

Beauty of a day out there today.  Hope you get to enjoy it too :)

Wha'd up?

It's already Wednesday! Almost time for the weekend again :-)

We hope you all had a great Canada Day.  ours was pretty low key.

At Twin 1's work they had a contest for most patrotic on Friday before the long weekend and Twin 1 won!

And this is what she won....ICE CREAM CAKE!!!! (It roughly feeds 25 people)

 

We don't usually do too much on Canada day but Twin 1 and her peeps took advance of the FREE Canada Day breakfast that the community puts on at the legion.  They got there when it started and they made them all stand and sing O Canada.  Fitting to start off the day and weekend. Breakfast was delish!

 

Next they went to Tims to wait out the down pour and then went down to Citidel Hill to tour around as they have never been there/not been there in a long time.

This is the posse.

Then they just went home and relaxed for the rest of the day.  Some neighbours stopped by for some ice cream cake and there is still some left in the freezer.
