On Thursday a coworker asked if I could take her shopping has she was looking for a vase and hubby had the car. Since I needed to head over to head office for a 2pm meeting we did a later lunch so that when we were done we would be on time for the meeting.

We went to Home Outfitters where I found ‘Boiley by Eggy. You fill up the bottom half of the chicken with water, place an egg in and it microwave it for 5 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Who knew one could make hard boiled eggs in the micro? I sure didn’t! He was in clearance and so with tax I got him for $3.15.

I used him this morning to make 2 eggs while I got ready for work. Yes, instead of dreaming of an ephedra diet pill to get rid of my bloat, I have started dieting today. I was yes going to try low carb as noted below I decided that I’m not going to restrict in that way. I will of course restrict calories but not what I eat for those calories.

Anywho…day one of many.

Did you know that Buy.com has a Canadian site? I didn’t until oh, 5 seconds ago when I was watching this video on YouTube which has Howie Mandel (a Canadian by the way) in a banned Buy.com sale commercial. I was looking through the site and wondering why it always seems that the great US sites out there don’t sell to Canada or if they do shipping costs an arm and a leg when I caught the link to the Canadian site.

Oh…the vidoe? It made me laugh but I can definitely see why it cannot be aired on regular TV. Anyways, Buy.com has a Canadian site, be sure to check it out!

Went to bootcamp tonight – it was core and I wasn’t all that happy with the workout. It was the 2nd trainer I just met last week (yes, the one who tried to kill me) and we used the ball. Last week Elnor’s core was amazing. I still got a good workout but it just didn’t feel the same.

I didn’t get in any real cardio…I have a sliver of glass in my right big toe which I cannot get out and so I have to wait for it to be pushed out more to the surface, so no 1km run tonight like the group did.

I am kind of fallen off the low carb wagon though not fully. I am trying to eat less carbs but when one goes to a thai restaurant and orders chicken & shrimp pad thai…it is hard to say “please hold the noodles”, lol. I had a nice big salad for dinner tonight.

I have set the alarm for 530am…will be trying to do the 6am bootcamp class tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I ended up listening to my body and not doing bootcamp today. I am beyond sore, I am hobbling around. My thighs ache on their upper halves, I don’t recall them ever hurting this much, lol.

I worked instead until 730pm. Crazy girl, I worked 3.5 extra hours today…haven’t done that in a while.

I just finished a delicious salad for dinner – yum! I did well in the food department and splurged on some carbs for a gift an account director got me for helping out her and her team on a project: Godiva, chocolate covered strawberries. There were three in the box and HUGE. I had one and gave the other two away. I did good :)

Since I didn’t do bootcamp tonight, I will be going tomorrow night – I’m not even going to try the 6am class, lol – at least not this week.

In other news:
My car is in! My car is in!
I get to have it Monday :)

I was wondering today about my horrible zits, if my wrinkle cream is doing it. Maybe it is time to change my skin care regimen. What do you use?

Didn’t make it to the 6am workout class…ack! Tomorrow’s workout class is cancelled and changed to Saturday, so I think I will do that one instead. But of course will go to tonight’s class, bag is here at work to change after work.

I am hobbling around the office like I aged 50 years, lol. Tonight is all over body conditioning – I already know it is gonna be hell with this new trainer.

Lunch today: tuna steak with stewed, spicey tomatoes – yum!
