Brrrrrr!

Its a frigid one here in Ottawa today, especially since yesterday was +6!!

I went out on a date last night with my friend Charlene. We went for thai, then to the movies. It wasn't a distrastrous evening on the points-o-meter. I went spinning before to earn a few extra and kept the thai to just veggies and meat. We stopped to get a coffee and I had a timbit to go along with my coffee (1/2 milk, 1 splenda) We saw He's Just Not That Into you, and I can say I just wasn't into the movie! It had a fantastic cast, so the expectations were high. The end result was disappointment, and a wee bit of depression. I was sure to come home and reaffirm my love for my husband... I'm very lucky that he is into me! :)

On the topic of spinning, last evening was AWESOME. Confession: I only attend the classes taught by Mr. Hardbody. Last night, there was a sub. She totally rocked the class, but using a lot of visuals. For example: "In this track, your goal is to pass 5 riders. There he is, pick up the speed, increase your tension... etc etc etc" It got me totally into it! Mr. Hardcody has a different style of teaching, plus he's easy on the eyes!

I was up bright and early this morning, despite a late night. I finally had time to install the Garmin software on my computer. I'm sooo excited about all the new features! My rookie question: Can you have 10:1's running at the same time as course that you uploaded from www.mapmyrun.com?

Following my geeky moments/software installation, I headed to Goodlife for an early AM workout. I've been noticing that Body Pump isn't really working for me of late. I'm rarely sore, even after increasing my weights quite significantly. That being said, an effort is being made to incorporate other types of weight training. Today was the day of the 20 Min Fit Fix Circuit. I did the circuit 3 times, going relatively easy on the legs as tomorrow is LSD day. Following the circuit was good old Body Attack. There were some minor wardrobe malfunctions in the form of my pants which falling down, but other then that it was a GREAT workout.

Breakfast this morning consisted of: 1 navel orange, 1 Blue Menu Bagel toasted with PB. I'm still feeling a wee bit hungry though, so I may have a piece of cheese avec une pomme!

We're heading to my hometown today to pick up Andrew's car which has been at the garage for the last 2 weeks. We have a reliable (read: cheaper) mechanic there, so we prefer to go make the trek out there to save some $$$. His final bill was $900... I cannot imagine what it would have cost if it were at a Nissan dealership in the city!

Happy Weekend everyone!
