WELCOME BACK!!

HAPPY FALL!

Fall is such an interesting season, you have this lingering of summer, and yet it's cooling down leaves are changing color (the part everyone likes about fall) and winter approach... the worst part about fall!

But whether we want it to come or not, it comes and I figure since we can't do anything about fall happening we might as well try to enjoy it. Now I sound a lot happier then I feel. I caught a cold this past weekend and so my nose is so stuffed up that I can't breathe, my head feels like it's going to explode from all the pressure in it, and I have a constant headache! I HATE colds. But those aren't the reasons I hate colds, I mean yeah that stuff sucks but I hate it because it slows me down, it makes me feel like I can't move or do anything, it makes me sleepy and just want to stay in bed. And that doesn't really fit intoo well with my schedule and my plans of getting in shape. Ugh... sufice to say, I am a little  (okay a lot) grumpy today.

But putting the grumpiness aside. Its been practically all summer. How are you guys? Have you guys been keeping up with your goals and fitness plans? If you answered no, join the club. However, putting it off is no longer an option. I'm putting my foot down and making 2012 my last fat year. ... Okay I typed it out.. now I have to live it out.

But actually, being out of shape is inconvienent for  my future career goals so this is actually happening. Now I'm not going to totally share what I am thinking about for the future, but I will tell you this: I plan on taking some sciences next semester, and I'm planning on switching colleges. You'll have to stay tuned to find out what I'm actually thinking about doing.

Well I don't really have much to say other than make sure you get plenty of rest, stay hydrated, wach your hands lots, and stay bundled up as the coller weather comes so you guys can avoid gettting sick!

P.s. I read this really awesome quote the other day that I wanted to share. "You only become a WINNER when the pain of losing exceeds the pain and inconvenience of HARD WORK"

Roxanne's Update - The Colour Run & A New Year

Well, this summer was packed full and busy.
Everyday was an adventure waiting to be faced.
Some days held tears and a bit of heartbreak, frustration and disappointment,
But most days were filled with laughter, good friends, sunshine and inspiration.

The summer ended with me and one of my best friends, Ashley and another one of our friends, Jenna taking a trip to New York. We were there for three days, but the actual reason for the trip was a 5K that we had signed up for.
The Colour Run.
'The Happiest 5K on the Planet."
If you haven't heard of them before - check them out online or on twitter.

 

 

This summer was also the first time I have ever given blood. It has been on my bucket list for a long time, but I finally went with my sister, Allysin, and just did it.
By giving blood I have the opportunity to help save someone's life. How much closer to being a hero can I get?
Yesterday I went with Allysin and a couple friends from school to donate again. We're hoping to encourage more of our friends to donate in the future.

I want to encourage every person who reads this blog to do the same. To donate, or to find more information on donating please look up the Canadian Blood Services at blood.ca
You can make a difference.
After all it's in you to give.

 

 

My last piece of update is this: Unfortunately my family will be unable to participate in the Run for the Cure this year, but please look for us there in the future.
I will continue to update this blog, as I am still working on living a healthier life, and am attempting to lose weight. So look for weekly updates starting next week.
If you have any comments, advice, encouragement or questions, please feel free to leave them here, or look me up on twitter: @RoxyWiedemann.
Thank you all for your love and support,
