Day 360
-Eat When Hungry
Still doing alright, but I did use food to get rid of a tired headache this afternoon. I know it's bad , , , I just don't know what to do with a job schedule that is so sporadic - I need structure! and routine. . . .
- Eat Healthy
Fail! Today was the day I took my brother out for his birthday. We ate like 8 year olds - enough said.
-Exercise
I'm still struggling with motivation. Somebody help me!

Day 362
The count down continues.
I wonder how much will change in a year. I suppose this blog will help me see huh?
Anyway,
-Eat When Hungry
I've decided that this point is my main attack. I realize that eating healthy foods and exercise are incredibly important because I want to be healthy on the inside. But trying to attack all three with the same veracity is exhausting with my current lifestyle, and I know that the truth is that with my main goal being to lose weight only eating when my body is actually asking for food is pretty much the most effective way. Today I did fairly well on this point.
-Eating Healthy
Again, today was good. However, the past two days I have eaten too much sugar - I need to continue to watch this as I am working on breaking a sugar addiction.
- Exercise
Usually I'm all gungho about blogilates, but I'm having a hard time finding my motivation. I just did a short dance video work out today.

Day 365
Hello Blogosphere.
Even though I feel like crap I am on here writing because yesterday I became sick of my life as it is and plan to change in the next 365 days.
Part of that is being accountable and writing on this blog everyday. So here I am.
Eat When Hungry
- well, didn't really do awesome at this today I also didn't due bad. Feeling ill always makes it hard for me to distinguish when I'm hungry or not as sometimes my headaches seem to be lack of sugar related.
Sugar addictions - apparently, so I'm trying not to feed to cycle, but if you told me a chocolate bar would kick this headache I would be all over that right about now.
Eat Healthy
- F- - I helped out at a pot luck and Beth was in charge of dinner.
Work Out -
- I do blogilates and Sunday is her rest day which I am thankful for because this head ache is absolutely killer.

The Terry Fox Run pt 2 :)
And we loved it. Everyone had a great time, and we're already planning to participate again next year - as well as hopefully attending one of the 5k colour runs.
The opening ceremony was especially touching for my mom - who is herself a cancer survivor - and whose father passed away due to cancer.
Please continue to support cancer research, while finding other ways (such as becoming a blood doner - blood.ca) to become an everyday hero.
Cheers!

Sunday Afternoon Tea Parties
Good Morning Great Beautiful People of the World!
So as you know there are a lot of people in my family, 8 in total. My mom, my dad, my older sister, me, three younger sisters and our handsome baby brother.
Well there are some trials that come with having a big family. And one of those is you can argue a fair amount. Especially if everyone in your family is as opinionated as my family. We're all strong willed, stubborn people. So this can cause some disagreements. But every so often there is this beautiful gem of a time where we get along. Last Sunday afternoon was one of those moments.
I had decided to make some scones I saw a recipe for here for Gingerbread and Cranberry scones. Let me tell you, they're as good as they sound. (I ate a couple too many I think) But after I had made them I decided to have a tea party with my younger sister and my brother. So I set up the table with a tea pot, tea cups, sugar dish, milk dish, and of course scones. Together we enjoyed beautiful cups of tea with these delish scones and for at least forty-five minutes it was bliss with no arguments.
In a family where there can be quite frequent arguments it's very important to enjoy and cherish the moments when everyone is getting along. But I think this can apply to everyone's life. Enjoy those moments that make you happy, cherish the moments with the people you love.
Don't take for granted the people around you, and the small moments. Because one day they may no longer be there. Enjoy life to the fullest while you can.

Oh by the way, here are some pictures of my tea party!
Here are my beautiful scones, I added a spiced glaze on to them, and it really did add just that little bit of extra.
This tea cup was given to me by my aunt, who inherited it from her mom, (my Nana). It's absolutely gorgeous, and perfect for my tea party!
And here are the special guests for my party!

Morning Runs - Allysin's Update
GOOD MORNING!
So I am home again for the summer and things are starting to pick up, fitness wise I mean.
We started following a fitness blogger/youtube channel named Cassy. You can check out her Blogilates. On her site she makes a fitness calendar that each day has youtube videos she's made for you to follow. Well for the month of June Eve, Roxanne and myself have kicked it into high gear and really started to crack down on doing on the workouts each day. (We still miss certain days, like today where we have stuff going on in the evening) But for the most we stay dedicated.
On top of this we started morning runs with week. It's killer when your alarm goes off at 5:40 in the morning and all you really want to do is stay in your bed with your nice fluffy, warm duvet. But somehow there is this drive in us that pushes us to get out of bed and go for a 45 minute run (lets be real it's a jog).
Now you have to understand we live out in the country and our road isn't this nice flat, paved road. No! OUR road is this packed gravel, bumpy road with monstrous hills that kill as you try to run up them but really you're jogging at a walking pace because the incline is so intense.
So we've set our distance goal to be from our house to the end of our road, across the attaching road to the next road parallel to our road. There and back is approximately 5km. So Monday, the first day we ran, I ran the "flat" part of our road, up the first big hill and felt like I was dying by the top, walked the other hills and ran on the next road. TODAY when I went for the run I ran all they way on our road up and down all the hills. On the first hill my shoe had come untied but I knew if I stopped on the hill I wouldn't start up again so I ran with it untied all the way up the first hill, tied it and kept right on running. Then I continued on the next road and kept going.
The whole time having Eve right next to me saying, you got this, we're almost at the top. You're doing great. Keep going. She's such a great running partner continuously encouraging me to do my best and push myself it's awesome! We did end up walking part of the way back but we attacked most of the hills with as much enthusiasm as we could muster.
Even though at the end of the run we were sweaty and a little worn we were energized and excited that we got up and did the run and encouraged by my victory of running the hills!
We're looking forward to the victories to come in the future!
We have set our end of the summer goal to run the "road" to our cottage. It's approx. 4.5 km. So although the distance is not very far it the the terrain that makes this our challenge. The "road" is an old logging road full of really big hills (like twice the size of the ones on our road), twists, turns, over all just a very challenging run. We look forward to the day we can say we overcame that challenge!
Keep pushing yourself, it's totally worth it!
