Samedi en soleil*

1:30am..couldn't sleep any longer! After yoga yesterday I honestly felt exhausted! It actually works! I am a bit sore but it's a stretch sore! I ended in bed reading my book ( book of Negros ) and felt asleep while reading it after my shower... Now apparently to hubby he try to wake me up a few times but I didn't want to wake up ( I honestly don't remember a thing lol ).. So here I am awake at 3am ( 2hours has past and I still can't go back to bed )! I tried all the tricks! Counting the sheep, listened to music,listened to my fave podcast ( which kept me awake because I love Jillian Michaels podcast!) drank hot milk...nothing worked..
I found this great game app hotel tycoon and started playing it! Not bad you guys should check it out!


Also didn't have any souper yesterday since I fell asleep while I was reading.. I'm sort of hungry but I'll wait for breakfast.. I'm excited about it!
Warm oats!!! :) I got some banana , organic sweet raisin and chia seeds which I'll add in the mix! Great recipe and good breakfast if you have an activity for the day! Keeps you full for a while!! Lots of good protein!


Love the beautiful sun on a Saturday morning with the strong coffee smell 2go along with it! Also this morning I walked in the kitchen and had a nice wave of flowery smell, that must be the yellow tulips I got a few weeks ago!
#smells like spring!


Today hubby said that he has a surprise for me... I love surprises but I'm curious and have a hard time when I don't know my day plan ahead especially on a saturday lol but I promised to go along with it!! I thought to myself.. I'll just wear something outdoorsy like a sweater, light jacket just in case we go for a walk or a run ,comfortable pants and running shoes!! Honestly dressed like that I can't go wrong! Lol


Turned out I have 2 surprised this weekend! :) Can't complain!!
Today was all about shopping and getting a new wardrobe (since I lost so much weight) and because I need new clothes! Everytime I have the cash on me when I'm at the mall I can't seem to find anything I like.. So all I got is a dinner dress for our cruise this June and some spring tee shirts ( turquoise and yellow ) , a skirt and a really cute beige cardigan! I figured I would wait to get myself jeans because I am still loosing weight!!


Tonight le menu is what I was suppose to eat yesterday and a bite size of rougaille ( as described in one of my previous blog ) . We are going out tonight to Maurice Nightclub ( hubby didn't mind to go out tonight ) go figure lol, I wasn't able to go for a walk but as per my pedometer I lost 233kcal walking around the mall today! Not bad!!
And all the dancing tonight will add another 600+kcal burned for today!! Yes my goal tomorrow is to loose another 500-600kcal...I'll keep you posted!


I hope everyone had a good Saturday!!

End of March...already?

Happy Friday everyone!

Hubby was wide awake this morning at 7am, and jumped out of bed to shower before me? LOL He can't shower before me it doesn't work like that I'll be late for work!! Lol not working! So I rushed before him in the shower and I won!! Haha he was busy on his cell anyways :)

Can't believe it's already the end of March already.. Summer is around the corner and that means I'll be able to run outside!! Yess!!! I am even thinking of getting a bike.. I was a late birdy and learned how to bike at the age of 13! I remember that day like it was yesterday! My cousin told me that he would hold the bike and that it would be very easy! Yeah.. Did I hear easy??? Lol!! at one point I caught speed and he let go of the bike because i was going way too fast and I completely end up on the floor face first and scratch the whole side of my neck and face! Oh boy! Even tho I learned the hard way, I do like to bike now haha :) No I really do ,it's a great outdoor sport and it's a perfect couple activity on a hot summer day/evening!

Today is our famous trip to Costco

• -cheese
• -baby bok choy
• -cucumber
• -tomatoes
• -spinach
• -meat (ground beef, pork)
• -milk
• -greek yogurt low fat of course :)
• -tapioca ( no sugar added )
• -mango & green grapes
• -brocoli
• frozen chicken wonton

Le menu ce soir for me is my wonton soup :) ( 4 chicken and coriander wonton = 50kcal) and some organic chicken broth ( don't have any homemade in the freezer), very simple and low calorie..

I didn't end up walking around the block today.. I didn't have time.. After work we went to costco and then headed home which took about 2 hours..Then hubby unpacked our groceries while I did some yoga ( 20mins =40kcal) which I thought was very hard today! My cardio is pretty good but when it comes to strengh oh man! I totally suck!!!But pain is worth it right?

We were suppose to head out tonight but hubby doesn't feel like it!I guess it's the age.. lol :) I really wanted to go out to dance so we could enjoy ourselves and yet have a little work out lol but I guess this weekend is not it! Anyways I am gonna go and head in the shower xoxo

I hope everyone had a good day at work or wherever you are :)

xoxoox

Ps: I added a little surprise that I was able to catch on video when hubby came to pick me up!! He cracks me up sometimes and this is why I love him! :)

Snow day?

*Love this quote*

Woke up this morning with a better attitude! I want to apologize to all of you for my weird mood lately!

I woke up at 6:15am sharp this morning coffee was already set up for 7:00am! Oats is what I had this morning! I wish I had some banana to add it in there or some almond butter, with a teaspoon a chia seeds! Perfect breakfast that would hold me until lunch!

 

Also we did get an unpleasant surprise, we had 10-15cm of snow on the ground :( this is not what we were hoping to see in the morning! Mother Nature is full of surprise!

 

I am definitely S.O.R.E today!! It was funny this morning hubby had to help me get ready for work! Lol I wasn't able to put a Shirt on! Lol

Hubby wanted me to take a picture for the blog lol sorry guys next time I run faster than him! Ha-ha he wasn't able to catch me!

 

Yesterday I got a clean clothes basket folded! Yes down to one! Tonight greys anatomy is on. Perfect timing to fold another basket! Love folding when there is something I like on TV because the time goes by so fast and the clean clothes gets folded really fast! =)

 

Is there a particular subject or topic you guys want me to talk about?? Let me know in the comments! J

 

Today at work it wasn't that bad; they changed my skill set and set me on the English skill set today =less complicated calls! Because my skill set changed today, my breaks and lunch also changed with it; Instead of eating at 11:30am, I am going to have lunch at 12:45! lol I have some organic rice crackers that will 4sure hold me until lunch time.. Not really hungry toady tho I did have oats this morning...

 

Just went out to get myself some decaf coffee and I looked out of the window and it's all white outside. I now remember why we call this month CRAZY MARCH lol

This morning on the radio they did add that we were going to get more snow! I think we might be able to go snow shoeing this weekend? Hubby and I are going to squeeze in a walk tonight, I don't mind the snow but I really hope that there will be no windchill! That is something that I will never get use too!

 

Le menu ce soir is grilled chicken (already marinated) that we got this week, We might add a side of cucumber + tomato salad with it! (and rice for hubby) I am not sure if I will be able to eat it all tonight because right now I am not really hungry.. but it might change..

Friday I will buy some Kale so we can have kale chips and I want to try it out with some garlic powder on it! Couple weeks ago we went to this organic store and I saw this Kale chips package that they were selling for $5.99 each... I find it expensive so I make my own lol

I heared about it while watching a tv show and YouTube it to know how to make it!Its very very simple, it has an earthy to it..You can add salt on it, garlic powder, bbq sauce on it ; Pretty much anything you like to eat as a side dip...You guys should try it!

 

I finally finished up the laundry basket and I am doing some more! I hate when I clean some kitchen towels or bathroom towels and they come out a bit smelly! I am trying this new bio soap but it has no added scent to it so I guess it's the price to pay when we go green lol? lol So I use this *amazing* (did I say Amazing? ) cycle called Powerwash cycle , it cleans absolutely everything (soil, blood, oil, stains)!! I am going to start a load and do a powerwash cycle!

 

 

I hope you guys had a good Thursday*

Mercredi oui,oui,oui!

Morning everyone!

Snooze...Snooze...Snooze....7:01am... Rushed in the shower and got ready in literally 15mins lol!!
I woke up to some snow outside... I don't mind it as long as it's not a snow storm! While I was putting my shoes on this morning I then remembered that we worked out yesterday..lol I'm a bit sore but it's getting better I have to admit!

Hubby set up the coffee for 7am this morning, I totally forgot to set it up!I love when he makes it, it's very strong enough to keep you awake for the entire day lol! I made myself some quick oats this morning.. ( 1 pack for 110kcal) but I couldn't finish the whole bowl so I ate half of it..Next time I might add some banana and chia seeds in it! That's a good idea...

 I am trying to figure out another activity with hubby!After our workout yesterday we wanted to rent the room to play some badminton today but they don't do badminton on Wednesday until late April :( what a bummer! I have a friend of mine that goes to a spinning class twice a week.. Maybe I'll try that or I can try to get a monthly membership to a gym for the next 2 months until my move? Everytime I get a membership I don't end up going and it ends up being a waste of money.. Which I have to be really smart about right now with all of the house expenses coming up!
I was able to get a free coupon because she is a member of this particular gym!
Omg lol I can't walk anymore! Let alone I'm still sore since yesterday! Ouch! My friend is a trooper! I gave up after 30min and was just going at my own pace! Lol I need to definitely bring up my cardio! I will thank her tomorrow with a ice pack at her desk :) haha
460kcal burned today! YES!
There is a big amount of clothes piled up on my sofa from our trip, while hubby is cooking I'm folding the clothes.. It goes pretty fast when you watch tv! This actually makes me think that I need to clean up my closet! it's a total mess!


Le menu ce soir is baked curry salmon with a side of cooked broccoli and spinach and a homemade spicy salsa which we call chatini where I come from.

I hope you guys had a good hump day! Xoxo

Lots of things to do around the house xoxo

Good night

Kisses*

Late Tuesday

Hello Everyone!

Tossing around in the morning is never a good thing! I woke up every hour starting 3am! When my alarm rang this morning Oh boy.. Felt like someone was knocking something inside oh my head! So I called in at work and advised them that I would be coming in late... I usually start work at  8am but today I slept until 9ish and got to work at 10am.

We didnt have time to do our groceries last week because we weren't home.. There was no more coffee, barely any breakfast other than my fibre bars...So we opted for Tim Hortons this morning, boy was I glad that they upgraded the sizes lol!!!Because I was late I only had a 15min break and no lunch for me.. Stayed and worked all the way until 4pm! I'm such a trooper! :)

Even tho we're back from our mini family vacation up North;I still feel tired.. I am not so sure why..
Hubby and I decided that we needed to get out of the house tonight and do something together to snap our of that weird mood so I booked the squash room for 2 hours and I'm sure that this is going to help a whole lot!

I wrote down some of the food that we need until friday( our next grocery shopping) :
-avocado
-organic gluten free tortilla
-coriander
-Greek yogurt
-chia seeds
-organic salsa mix (spicy)
-bread (for hubby)
-green apples
-meat
-lettuce
-organic green tea

Le menu ce soir for me is some of that new tortilla chips, spicy salsa mix an my avocado recipe! (avocado,coriander,salt,red onions and some lemon juice). Hubby warmer up some boeuf bourguignon that he made last year.. I don't like that ( I know I know how right!?) but I did have a bit of his with a bite of his garlic bread...

I hope everyone had a good Monday..my bad Tuesday.. I feel like its Monday for me today! Isn't it cool!
Xoxoox

Kisses*

Back home*

Happy Monday Everyone!





So sorry for the late blog everyone..I wrote my blog earlier on and didn't save it properly... I am exausted!

This morning I had my alarm set at 7am ...switched it off until 8am! lol Woke up got our stuff ready and packed our clothes! Went downstairs and had some coffee and the famous Montreal Bagel* If you guys didn't have one you really need to travel all the way to Montreal and have one :) It's the best bagel ever!!

Here is the link that I promised you guys:

http://hebergementspa.com/

If you guys are looking to go away on vacation, I would defenitely recommend this place to everyone! It did us some real good, the service was really good, the baths were amazing! Hubby loved everyone moment.. we are sad to be back to reality tomorrow... I wished we stayed there for another week!

Check it out..Worth the click..

I dont know where hubby got the energy to cook tonight.. He wanted to eat indian food so he is cooking up some butter chicken with rice.. Not too sure if I will have some of that.. Maybe a bite...

Tomorrow we decided that we needed to get out and play some sports!Squash it is!

We are going to book the room for 2 hours so I can work my sweat out and burn the sugar I ate these past couple days!

I started the laundry and going to jump in the shower!

I hope everyone had a good Monday*

xoxo Kisses*

Sunday birds*

We were the last one to get up this morning!8:35am showered and got ready to go downstairs to have breakfast! Must say I'm kinda sad that it's our last day here at the cottage! :( but we have to get back to our reality! And hubby is home for 2 weeks!!!! Couldn't even get any better than that!

After breakfast we decided to take a walk in the forest to the other cottage! I have to say that I am SO SCARED of bears or any living forest creature? Don't ask...why...
I will bring my bear mace and wear the bell!!! Lol even though they are more scared of me! After all the fattening food I had yesterday I need to walk it off lol and the it's perfect opportunity to wear my leopard runny boots :) I baught them online (hautelook.com) and they were $25+shipping! Coming from $165 it's original price! Packed some water bottles and off we went!

It's a bit cloudy today and chilly! It's weird we're between summer and winter! No snow but yet no sunshine!
I wish there was some snow so I could snow shoe outside around the lake!
If you guys wants to check out the spa that we're at this weekend I'll have the link in my blog tomorrow! But you can google the name and click on the link ;) look up the picture below it has it's information.

We planned to go to the general store this afternoon so we can pick up some cat food and maybe get a town Poutine YUM!!! I always wanted to have a treadmill and I'm still shopping around for it online... I might look into it this week.. I hope to get a good deal!

I'm a bit scared to weight myself tomorrow when I get home! I did gained weight I'm sure!!! I hate loosing 2lbs off for a week and gain it and Back where I started the week after! Lol I know this isn't a yoyo diet so I have to figure out a way to keep the weight off when I'm away from home! I have to plan something out, that's for sure!! I can't seem to eat well with family around and kids also! So hard!! Next time I'm going to pack the food and bring it wherever we go that way It'll make my life easier! it's all my fault I need to handle it in a better way!

5km hike later, we took the car and went in town to pick up some kitty food and stopped at this little casse-croûte and had a Poutine ( we did share a medium one) and a toasted hot dog each; I couldn't believe the bill... $15 for all that!! This is so good! [the picture makes it look big but it isn't I promise]
I like my hot dogs with cabbage and mustard nothing else lol

Tonight we booked the baths again! I'll try to take some pictures! I sometime leave my phone inside the house because i don't trust myself with it when we go there! I get so clumsy at times ;uncontrollable like hubby says sometimes? Lol

Before the baths I had an hour nap! Felt so good! Ready to tackle this upcoming week?? Am I?


Le menu ce soir is roast beef roasted on the BBQ for about 3 hours! so good added roasted potatoes with tomato and bocconccini and some fresh basil!
His dad is a really good cook! Love it!!

Have a good Sunday night everyone!
Xoxoxo :)

8:30am is when we got up this morning! Loving this beautiful weather!
It's not so warm and not so cold!!
Mika enjoyed his new surroundings and slept with us yesterday:) too cute!

We played with the dog a bit and walked around the house with him!
Such a cute german Shepard, I had one of them when I was little back in the days when we lived in Mauritius!
I got him as a gift since she was 2 months, we named her prunelle (google the word translation) she was beautiful!!! had a lot of fun with their dog today his name is J'M ( I love in English) such a cutie!

Coffee was already made this morning! I love his moms coffee ( she adds a little touch of love in it ;) ) a secret and it's so good and tasty! I also had some strawberries this morning, 2 boiled eggs and a medium size banana! very filling and that will defenitly hold me until lunch time!

We have massages scheduled today!
90 mins it it! Every time I get a massage I don't end up satisfied but this time was amazing! She was perfect! Massage all the right spots and I even felt asleep! Even woke myself up by snoring!!!! LOL

Today we're going to the sugar shack! Traditional quebecor holiday active!
We're going there for diner! The food is so good but so fattening :( lots of maple sirop on everything!! Usually it starts with an omelette, crepes with maple sirop all over it, 3% milk and lots more! I might just stick with an omelette and maybe a bit of crepes and for sure half a slice of their delicious homemade bread with some butter on it! Omg just talking about it makes me full! Lol I'm honestly sugared out!!! Love maple sirop!!! so good! once a year! right?
I keep telling myself that... LOL
I even had 1 or 2 smirnoff ice? that is the question lol

I hope everyone had a good night tonight and a good day today! Love when it's the weekend!

This is a really good family weekend so far! Well deserved and lots of fun :)

Xoxoox a demain

Roadtrip <3

Hellooooo everyone :) today is Friday and I'm off!! Perfect way to start a mini vacation lol

Woke up at 7:30am even though I had my alarm set for 8:30am! Somehow I couldn't sleep past it! Before going to bed we packed our stuff and picked our outfit for this morning! So all we had needed was a shower and off we were :)

Before heading on our RT we had a appointment at the veterinary for mika this morning; Picked up our coffee at Tim Hortons and a bagel for hubby ( I packed myself a cereal bar from home)
We also got our grey goose bottle for tonight ;) party time! haha

This is the first ROADTRIP in our new car! So comfortable and pumping the music for energy! We have about 6 hours to go! We'll stop at Montreal for lunch, hubby wants to bring me to this burger place (they are mini burgers) its called dic ann's :) another burger?
Oh boy*

Yesterday we ended going to this really good burger place ( I know..I know...) here in Quebec city Chez Victor, the service is really good and food is very good!
We ordered a side of French onions rings and my burger! I wasn't able to finish my burger I only ate half and shared fries and French onion ring with hubby! I was so full and felt a bit nauseous because I'm not used to eat so much food and the onion rings were a bit oily... I had a green tea when I got home and it was all good!

While driving on the highway I was surprised that there was absolutely NO SNOW whatsoever everything melted! Such a different weather since last year! No skidoo this year at the cottage :( We were excited I guess it'll be for next year!

Hubby and I talked about our trip this summer! We honestly can't wait to go away and enjoy each other no drama,no stress, absolutely nothing!
This is a lifetime trip that we are going to go before we have kids! I don't imagine myself with kids on a cruise...! Maybe one day! Never say never lol

My goal this weekend is to enjoy the nature around the cottage, Go for walks and maybe hike but for sure have some sort of activity outside!
I promise to take pictures for everyone!!=)

Stopped at Walmart on the way and picked up a few things and some Easter eggs for the kids :) I finally tried the burger and the Poutine ( fries,gravy & cheese) oh boy!! It was really good but man I can feel the fat packing on! lol I notice that every time I have carbs i feel so dehydrated and I drink about 2-3 bottles of water and my poor tummy have a hurt time to digest...I'll stop for some green tea it'll do me some good like yesterday!

I created this old school' playlist loving it! way back play back!!
Dr.dre, Eminem, Tupac, Jamie foxx and more! Loving it! Love how music makes us all happy and puts us in a great mood! I purchased Ray Charles album :) after watching the movie and also because I love his voice and his songs! It'll ALWAYS be a classic!

I hope everyone have a good Friday! The weekend is here and we all get to sleep in an relax for 2 days!

Le menu ce soir is going to be made by hubby's father! He is a good cook!
I might stay light tonight and not eat anything filling or a big plate! His dad is making home made burgers , strike 3 for me I'm going to eat the meat part only and no bread for me with a big salad on the side!

Xoxoxo going by the fire to relax with some tea xoxo :)

A demain! *
