Happy Canada Day! 

Happy Canada Day!

Well, it is Canada Day, and everything is closed, so on the good side, I have a day off, on the bad side there is nothing to do, cause everything is closed....sigh...this means I probably should do chores (cue the scary music) Well, I have already done the dishes, wiped down the counters and swept the kitchen floor, I should repad my vambraces, cause our SCA group is doing a demo at the Canada Day celebrations at Marina Park (right on Lake Superior) and my forearm is still sore from almost 2 weeks ago (still bruised too) where I got hit across the vambrace. My wrists are still sore too, and I'd rather not fight, but so far we only have 2 fighters committed and it is a much better demo if we have at least 3...so I'll bring my garb too, just in case another fighter shows up.

I weighed myself yesterday, and the scale I used (at work) also measures body fat percentages, (again, cue the scary music...) I am 215lbs and 45.5% body fat **sob** So it being the 1st of the month, new beginnings and all that, I have chosen this day to start my new eating and exercise plan.

I am using the book Fat Wars, for nutritional guidance(www.fatwars.com), and will be getting back to the gym Mon to Sat doing cardio and resistance training.

I am going to try and keep a record of the food I consume daily as well...It hasn't gone so well today so far, as I need to get groceries....I have had 2 pieces of white toast, both with butter and one with saskatoon berry jam, 1 large Tim Hortons coffee with 3 cream and 1 sugar and a banana nut muffin....not exactly the breakfast of champions I know, I am going to take today to get my grocery list together and menu plans, so I am prepared....I will keep posting though...

Be well
