Sunday Set Up #19

10 points for me for putting this Sunday Set Up on a Sunday! I watched the third Harry Potter movie last night and am all 5 points for this, and 10 points for that. I forgot how much I love the Harry Potter movies. They’re probably one of my favorite movie series to watch and never get sick of. I’ve read all the books expect the last one, I’ve been on the same page for like 7 years. Same with the Twilight and Hunger Games series. I always start the last book but never finish it. Now that I’ve seen how Twilight and Harry Potter ends I don’t know if I’ll read the last book. I probably will just to finish it but I really want to finish the last Hunger Games book. The movie comes out on November 21st and I want to finish the book before I see the movie. I’m going to give myself a deadline of November 20th, you need to hold me to it!

Sunday Set Up #18

Long time no post! Sorry for being MIA, it’s been a busy week. I went home for the first time since being up here on Saturday and wanted to spend as much time with my family as I could. So I put this weeks Sunday Set Up aside for this week. It was a really good few days at home, but now it’s back to that work life. I definitely take advantage of having a dishwasher, a big bed and a mom that cooks for me. All three of those things I do not have up here and didn’t know how much I truly missed them until I got back! Even though I do love to cook myself, it was nice not having to do it and relaxing during dinner prep :).

By the way, where has summer gone?! I feel like summer has just started when in reality we’re only a couple weeks away from autumn. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited. Like really excited. Autumn is definitely my favourite season. I love the crisp cool air, halloween, warm drinks, the leaves changing colors, being able to wear a sweater without dying and the most important PUMPKIN! I am definitely on the pumpkin everything train. Pumpkin pancakes, waffles, muffins, bread, cookies, candles etc… I love love love pumpkin. But have yet to try the pumpkin spice lattee from Starbucks (probably the only person on the planet who hasn’t tried it). Honestly I’ve never ordered it because it’s full of sugar, unhealthy fat and unnecessary calories. But you know what? I really want to try it and I love pumpkin and I’m going to let myself indulge in this very rare treat. I am not going to hold myself back any longer, bring it on pumpkin spice lattee! I’m ready for you.

Sunday Set Up #17

Whoops I’m a day late but never late than never! So a little update on my knee, it’s been sore for the past couple of days so I decided to roll my IT band and that just made my IT really sore for two days. But here I am two days later and it feels much better. I thought the knee pain I was feeling was due to a tight IT band and I was right. I’m going to continue to roll it out but much more gentler, I don’t want to bruise anything.

And do you see this?! It’s actually a sunny day! Up here in Muskoka the past week has been cold, dreary rainy weather. I am welcoming this sunny warm day with open arms. I forgot what sun looked like! It is a perfect day.

Sunday Set Up #16

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means… Sunday Set Up! It’s a great time to lay out what you want to accomplish for the week and get yourself together for the new week.

I’ve made a goal of creating a meal plan for the past two weeks and I have been following through with it and I have to say I am loving it. When I look at what I’m going to be eating each day I get excited, it’s like having my own personal chef create it even though it’s me. It helps me determine what I need to eat before it goes bad and also saves time as I know exactly what I’m making. I’m not rummaging through the fridge wondering what to make. It’s my new favorite thing!

Fitness

• Stretch lower body everyday 
• Work lower body 2x this week 
• Work out before work at least 2x this week
• Run at least once (knee was starting up again)

 Food

Sunday Set Up #15

Sorry for the late Sunday Set Up! The wifi isn’t the best out here, so it’s hard to upload posts sometimes. We might be upgrading our internet this week (fingers crossed!) which would make things a lot easier. Although it is nice to be out here with distractions of TV and computer, it would be nice to catch up on a couple episodes that I’ve missed. It can also get a little boring when on your days off, so having something to watch would be nice. I’m off today but we have bright blue sunny skies, so I think my day will be spent down by the beach working on my tan :).

Here it is!

Fitness

• Stretch lower body everyday 
• Work lower body 2x this week
• Run 3x this week

 Food

• Create a meal plan
• Try to eat 2 servings of vegetables at lunch and dinner

Sunday Set Up #14

I feel like in the summer the weeks just fly by, anyone else feel that way? Being up here in Muskoka has got my days all confused. Despite being a Sunday, it feels like a Monday and Friday’s don’t feel like Friday’s. Every day just feels like the same, it’s taking a bit to get used too. But check out this view:

Beautiful right? This was before the mosquitoes decided it was time to feast on me, yet again. I have over twenty mosquito bites and for whatever reason mine like to turn into big welts, and the more I scratch the more swollen they become. I’m getting used to seeing my hands, legs and arms as big as balloons. It’s not pretty and they can stop anytime, but the view makes up for it…kind of. I’d like to go back to having regular sized body parts please.

Anyways, this week I worked out six times! I am so proud and am feeling really good. It’s getting easier to wake up before work and workout and I like having it out of the way. I don’t have the workout cloud looming over me when I get home which is always nice.

• Stretch lower body everyday
