River Walk

My 2 friends, both Lori, and I have found a new walk, it is down by the beautiful river and includes 3 bridges. It's about 6.4 Kl which is 4 miles and we timed ourselved so now we want to beat our time. We are doing this walk at least once a week, maybe more. It is such a nice walk very relaxing but the company is always what makes a walk for me. Once we get this walk past the time we want we have another bridge we can cross to make it longer. I continue my lunch time walks with Lori Q and Dakota or Ozzie as Lori calls him. Weight loss has been slow but I KNOW April will be extremely good. I will post new pics in May to show the difference.

Sue any word on you two moving over, you'd love the walk!

Call Me Bubbles Darling

For those of you that really know me that is my favorite line from my favorite sitcom. I am trying to get all bubbled up and going. This week will be a bit slow as I have now caught a chest infection which is slowing me down a bit, but I am STILL WALKING. I was hoping to be wogging this week but I can wait until next week and a point where I can breathe again. I never used to get sick but this winter has been a bad one for me. But that ends this week, I will be positive and work through it. Ernie and I will be working a hockey game to raise money this weekend. It has been offered by another marathoner. They are a great group of people, they always try to help out other marathoners, I think because they know how hard it is to train and raise the money needed. Must Go and Work, once I'm done work I will go and walk! And Love it!

This is what keeps me going!

This is what makes me keep going: I was home this weekend and I received donations from family and friends and sold 2 cases of bars. I really appreciate what you all are doing, it is very hard to ask for money/help for something I want to do, but you all gave so willingly! What you gave me is more than your money you told me that you believe in me! I know I'm going to do this but you have no idea how much it helps to have you all on my side! Thanks Again!

Back Home and Starting to Wog

I had spoke to Lori Q prior to returning home Sunday night and we decided that we would start wogging this week! So look out streets here we come!

visiting the grandkids

I am having a great time with the grandkids and have maintained my walking with Meg and sometimes Kyle and the kids. Eating hasn't been so great but I am getting back on track today. It's really nice to see my old home town and its growth. Will report back next week, everyone have a great Easter.

Lunch Out Today

I am off to a well earned lunch, of course it will be salad, but at EE Burritos they make the best salads. Will continue to walk like crazy while visiting my daughter, son in law and grandkids. Can't wait! Then we spend next weekend visiting friends and family in Melville. Time Well Spent I say! I will keep checking in so no slacking on the comments. I will keep track of my walks also.

walking again today

Lori Q is on her way and we are off on another walk, I hope to start wogging by April.

Please Comment

If you find this site please make a comment, I really enjoy reading the comments people leave. Especially the positive ones (don't be rude because that is just, well rude) they can really lift me up when I don't want to work out or wogg. Thanks.

Everyone needs a Lori Q

This is a woman that gets me out walking almost everyday and makes suggestions like "lets walk farther from now on, no more short walk" and things like "lets enter a 10 kl, it will be fun." In case you check out my blog LQ THANKS!

Just entered a 10 kl

I have just entered a 10 kl for June so I have 3 months to train, this run is half of what I'll be running in Italy so it is a good chance to see how I'm doing. I still have 11 months after this run to train so I'm hoping I will know where I need to focus.

Walking Today (Wogg)

I will be walking today if anyone is interested in joining me. I will be starting walk/jogging soon. I'm going to call it wogging, you know where you walk a bit then jog a bit, yes wogging it is! I will be doing a 10 kl on June 8 with some friends and yes I will be wogging! As a fund raiser I will be having a garage sale on June 7 at the garage sale I will be selling BBQ burgers to raise money for the marathon, a friend gave me the idea, and at this point I will do anything to raise the money, I figure if I raise all the money early I will be able to focus on training more.

Oh Yeah! Bars for sale

We are selling bars to raise money and I have boxes of them in my house anyone interested bring some money and come on over. Bars are $3 Belgiun Chocolate and $2 Simply the best (the ones we always sell) also I have coffee for $5, it's suppose to be really good coffee. Give me a call or stop in.

Today I Feel Great!!!!!!!!

Today is weigh day and usually this is a great day or a not so great day, well to be honest I don't care what the scale says today I feel great, I walked with my friend LQ at 6am and walked fast! She even mentioned that I have kicked it up a notch, which means a lot coming from her (she is in better shape than me, by far). I am even starting to enjoy the workouts more.
BRB ok I weighed and I am down again. WHOOO HOOO. I am now down 39.1 pounds. By next week I hope to have kicked the 40 pound mark!

Try this one it really works

click the above address then click the word "donation" type in my name and click on 2009 Itlay then you can sponsor me.

I hope this one works.

I got another boost

I got another on line donation, man when you are just starting you have no idea if people will support you or not. Then I got a call from a friend telling me that she is supporting me just trying to come up with a way to do it creatively. Then another friend called and said she is here for me! Ernie and I have been selling chocolate bars and that has been going well but you have to sell a lot of bars to raise enough money. I don't want that many bars hanging around my house while I am trying to train, so I have other ideas about how to raise the money.

Garage Sale in Esterhazy and one in Saskatoon. A night out at EE burritos (Lori Q is helping me with that one) I am doing a BBQ in front of Canadian Tire in the Confederation Area on August 30 and 31 (I need helpers for this event) a guy at Ernie's work suggested asking people for their bottles/cans, he says you pick a couple of days and ask people to drop them off. I will also do anything else I can think of.

Anyone got any ideas?

The Start of Training

Not as easy as one would expect, I have to make myself go to the gym and walk/run. I start today with actual training. I will start with 1-1, 1 minute walk, 1 minute jog. This will continue for about one week. I will train at the gym, at home and outside.

Wish me luck.
