Wednesday In May

This is my Wednesday and since I have been busy relaxing it kind of sums up all of the rest of the week too! Kyle and I were out last night at Wal-Mart and season one of “Fringe” was on sale so I picked it up, It has a really engaging story line much like all of JJ Abrams stuff so I am relaxing by watching this show in the day among others! I also picked up a new DVD workout, it’s a tough challenge to get through, the movements are really intense but I love having something new to try.

I am trying to spend 30min or more a day working out combined with keeping my calories in check.

They key is consistency so I don’t want to talk too much about it because I have been so inconsistent over the past couple of years I don’t know if I will ever get back in the weight loss zone like I once was. But I am willing to try, it’s always good to try and what I have realized is that trying = weight loss, not trying = no results and weight gain. I get disappointed and give up far too easy, When I first started out 5 years ago after just being married, I had no expectations because I didn’t know if anything would work and I just watched the pounds come off. I think now I am always trying to put a time limit or a number by a certain date and that is what stops me from succeeding because I can never measure up. So I just want to stop doing all of that and just exercise and honestly eat right and see what happens.
We are trying to keep our dinners under 700 calories, Tonight’s dinner Quesadilla, comes in around 600 with Caesar salad as a side, so that’s pretty good. I would love to only eat 1200 calories to really lose weight but that is just too impossible and too much of a struggle, 1500 is way more feasible, it means having to work out more but it’s achievable right now.

Well I am still looking for a job, I am waiting to hear back from people, In the mean time I’m just trying to get into a workout routine and I signed up for 10 hours of drivers training, My first lesson arrives at my place on Tuesday, he assures me that he will teach me everything I know to final take and pass my driver’s test. So I’m kind of nervous and excited about that.
This weekend is Jordan and Emily’s wedding which should be a blast. I know my cousins Blair, William and my uncle Willie are coming into town tonight actually so it will be great to see everyone this weekend. That’s about all that happening in my life right now,
Kyle should be home any minute now, he’s just picking up some of that awesome Paul Newman black bean and corn salsa to go with our quesadilla..YUM!

Heidi said...: Heather - I'm so glad you are taking drivers training! You won't regret it! I remember driving around with some stranger for drivers ed. It was crazy - I had to take my drivers test in a snowstorm in Saskatoon. I'm pretty sure the only reason I passed the parallel park was because the snow drifts were so crazy he couldn't see the curb!

Also - I hear ya about eating right. I sometimes get so tired of always thinking about how I wish I was skinnier. This month has been especially difficult. I eat when I'm bored (or for no reason at all) and I haven't even been walking. I'm determined to start eating better too.

Love you
Love it when I see that there's a new post from you when I open up google reader!

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
