big girl pants, exercise, morning, routine, treadmill, walk, weights

part of my morning routine includes fifteen to twenty minutes on the treadmill every work day…

  
the weekends are a bit more laid back, lol…

watch a morning show while I walk and sometimes check out my social media programs…

very occasionally I will walk in the evening but I find my energy level is highest in the morning so that is the best time for me…

I also try to walk a few items a week on the treadmill at the office…

am supposed to use weights on a regular basis but I’ve kind of fallen off the wagon… 

my goal is to do some weight training three times a week, even if just for a few minutes…

I firmly believe that the exercise really helps keep me well…

big girl pants, blooms, flowers, morning, radiant heat, tgif

although I only worked three days this week I am very happy it is Friday…

also enjoyed stepping into the bathroom this morning…

 
last night I turned on the radiant heating… the floor felt toasty warm… very nice on this chilly morning… still giggle when I think about how we thought that the heat would radiate across the tiles where there weren’t any of the wires… that was so wrong, lol… if you put down this type of flooring make sure you put it everywhere…

checked out the morning glory early today… of course it had a few blooms opening…

  

  
happily the cold night didn’t kill either the morning glory or the mandevilla… 

keeping many individuals I know in my thoughts and prayers as they deal with difficult times in their lives… it is so easy to look at someone and think their life is great, not knowing what struggles they are facing…

rather busy day… up early this morning to get the boxes out for pick-up…

  
ran over to the Mall to have my iPhone checked out… battery is barely making it through the day which isn’t so good for a brand new phone… went to MTS who sent me to the Apple Store… served quickly in both stores, and they offered up a few suggestions which might make a difference… have to back everything up and go back so they can reset it which may also make it better… technology is wonderful when it works…

got home and my son-in-law was here replacing the metal stringers on the deck stairs… he noticed a while ago that they were rusting out…

  
look great and feel much more sturdy…

after lunch we sat in the garden for a few minutes and I noticed this morning glory bloom…

  
been thinking about July of 2010 when I was in hospital… it was supposed to be our vacation so George came to spend time every day while he was off work… he knew how much I love morning glories and every morning before he came, he would go out into the garden and count how many of the flowers were blooming… occasionally he would take a picture for me as well… 

I found this blossom which should open tomorrow…

  
was testing my lounger out when the sky got a bit dark…

  
just got in and it poured for a couple of minutes… after supper I went out to write my blog, but it was kind of chilly… came in and all of a sudden it was pouring…

 
the mandevilla is covered with flowers and buds… looking forward to the morning glory beside it starting to flower as well…

snow…

beauty, blanket, grandson, morning, snow

looked outside this morning and saw such beauty…

everything had been covered with a blanket of light fluffy snow…

luckily I didn’t need to leave home… always so much more beautiful if you don’t have to go out in it, lol…

this afternoon my grandson came over and shovelled the sidewalk, driveway and back path…

/home/wpcom/public_html/wp-content/blogs.dir/39f/43539991/files/2015/01/img_0114.jpg
he did a good job and then came in for hot chocolate while we waited for his mom to pick him up, when she got off work…

a friend stopped by a few hours later and there was more snow on the ground… we went out for supper and while we were visiting the wind was blowing the snow around…

wonder what it is going to look like in the morning…

breakfast…

bananas, big girl pants, breakfast, habit, morning, morning routine, shake, strawberries, vitamin D

I don’t really like to eat first thing in the morning… this has been my pattern for most of my adult life…around 9 or so, I would happily have bacon and eggs and toast or potatoes if I had the time…

for quite a while over the last year I was getting up and making a shake for breakfast and drinking it before going to work…

spring came and I fell out of the habit, but was having a breakfast bar or some cheese before leaving home, or else taking it with me to have at the office when I arrived…

then I fell completely off the wagon and wasn’t eating anything in the morning…

for the last few weeks I have renewed the habit… I have been having shakes with bananas and strawberries or just strawberries…

I think I feel better when I remember to prepare and drink the shake and will have to get some more bananas for next week as I am out… I have some lovely frozen whole strawberries which I purchased for the Champagne Bubble Party and they are very nice… although they make the shake into a very cold drink which takes quite a while to get down, lol…

I like to put it in the thermos that I got from Cyndi when I was there in June…

purple thermos from Cyndi...

I am almost out of the shake mix I was using, which I was getting through a friend who ordered it from the States, so I had to be paying attention to when it was starting to run low… am planning to go to SuperStore as they apparently have a good one which I am going to try…

I do find that a routine in the morning is very helpful, although it is easier when it is light… now when I get up for work I need to turn on a light as it is dark outside… guess it is about time to resume the Vitamin D regime…

excited to get up and check out the morning glory today…

it was a beautiful shade of purple and I got some great pictures with a new camera app that I downloaded called PocketCam… looks like it takes good pictures… two different people suggested I enter at least one in a contest…

first morning glory this summer...

as I was backing down the driveway I spotted a goldfinch at the feeder and got a couple of pictures…

pretty good way to start the morning…

on my way home I picked up some lovely long glads… a lovely way to finish off the workday as well…

fresh glads...

connected with both of my girls… all in all a darn fine day…
