But till then I have a few things I am excited about that I want to share with you.
First... have you checked out our Tommie Copper Review of their 2 great men's back support products... and there is a giveaway for Canadians and Americans, too.
Second... several weeks ago I won a Twitter contest josted by Fajo Magazine and Reebok Canada and the prize was a pair of Nano 5 shoes. They arrived yesterday and I was all over Instagram with them.... aren't they purty?
Third... My carb cycling food plan is going really well... I am particularly loving my low carb days.
Who knew? It has helped me get away from the processed foods that I had started to gravitate toward and reconnect with whole, real food again. YAY! And yes, I am doing it all within my Weight Watchers program guidelines... those help me with making sure I am getting in my nutrients and watching my portions.
Fourth... We are getting off the Island next weekend for a little getaway... going to make a circle tour and visit with family in North Vancouver, then head South to shop in Washington state for a few days before visiting a friend there for another few days. I love to cross border shop and my list is growing. Trader Joe's... here I come! Oh my... is it fortuitous that this month's Fearless Flyer is featuring wine?
Fifth... I have been really loving this round of Metabolic Aftershock workouts. I have been doing them Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and following each with a very brisk half hour walk. I can feel that my shoulders and legs are getting stronger... and I can see shapely muscle in my arms and legs too. It's good for me to take this break from traditional strength training and do these whole body workouts. They are only 15 minutes long, after the warmup, and I feel the heat most of the day afterward.
So.. how is your week shaking out?
Do you have any non-perishable faves at TJ's that I need to hunt down?
Lucky you! Those shoes are really cute! Have a great time on your getaway! It's so much fun to get out of town and visit family and friends.
