I have a lot of shopping to do this weekend

by The Diva

If I’m going to do any shopping this weekend it has to be on Saturday. Why? Well, we’re expecting a huge snowstorm on Sunday and Monday and I have a feeling that driving conditions will be pretty bad on Sunday, so I think it’s best that if we need to get out and do anything we’d better do it on Saturday.

So … tomorrow is shopping day. Man I have a lot of stuff to get and I have to pack it all into one day too!

I need to get some Christmas presents for the younger kids in my family, and I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately so I need to get some cooking supplies like uh … chocolate chips, flour, vanilla and things like that.

I also need to find the time to buy some clothes. I need new clothes and I’ve needed them for a few months now. Ever since I started losing weight in September I’ve needed new clothes. I’ve gained a few pounds back in the last few weeks but I’m still about 10 pounds lighter than I was in the summer and that means my current clothes are still loser than they should be. I could use a new pair of apple bottom jeans if I can find them on sale.

Hopefully with all that I have to do this weekend I’ll find time to get a little clothes shopping in, but I’m not sure that I’ll get around to that.

What are your plans for the weekend? Are you expecting bad weather this weekend too?

Black Friday shopping trip cancelled

by The Diva

Well I was supposed t be in a car with my friends probably sitting in a long line of cars waiting to get over the boarder to the US by now … but uh that’s not going to happen.

My friends and I were going to drive into the US this evening so that we could take advantage of some Black Friday sales, but one of them can’t go now and we decide to cancel the trip.

So now I’m just sitting at home watching a rerun of Flashpoint on TV with my husband. I love that show. The police snipers are up on a roof top right now looking through their rifle scopes at a kidnapper. Tense. I’m always on the edge of my seat with that show. I hope they return with new episodes in the new year!

Anyway … if any of you are taking advantage of Black Friday sales I hope that you’re successful and get some good deals. Stay safe!

A sure sign that Christmas is coming

by The Diva

Oh oh … I just got a sure sign that Christmas is coming.

My husbands sister just sent the annual email with all the updates on the kids, questions about what kind of get together we’re going to have at Christmas time and the questions about what to get mom for christmas.

She always wants to go in on a group gift. I’m not sure why? It’s nice every once in a while when there’s something really special or perhaps something very expensive to buy as a gift, but not every year! I kind of like picking out my own gifts and not always having everyone sign their names on it. LOL

Anyway … are you ready for Christmas yet? Did you buy you gifts yet?

Problem skin?

by The Diva

I can’t believe that I’m starting to have skin problems at my age.

I’ve always had very clear skin, except the occasional blemish around the time of my period of course. However, even then it would usually only be one or two small spots on my face that I think only I really noticed. Nothing bad.

Now I seem to be having more break outs. They’re still not bad bad – but you know, you get to a certain age and you expect to say good bye to skin problems – not start having more of them.

I think that I’m going to have to start looking around and do a little research on the best acne products for my skin type and then experiment a little bit to see what works.

For the women out there … Did you find that once you hit your late 30’s or early 40’s that your skin suddenly had blemishes again?

I need to start a new fitness routine

by The Diva

Every time I look over at our TV stand I see our Wii. I hate to admit it, but I haven’t used my Wii in ages!

I think it’s been four or five months since I played a game or did a cardio workout on my Wii.

Later this evening I’m going to make up a mini workout schedule. I’m still sick (Crohn’s, Migraines, back pain) so I can’t get too ambitious, but I know that if I continue to not do anything I’ll probably feel worse and worse.

So … if I at least make a plan to get out and take a long walk, with the dog, at least twice a week, and to pull out the Wii and do one or two of my favorite workouts like the Gold Gyms Cardio Boxing twice a week as well I’ll be on my way to better health. At the very least I won’t feel compelled to research belly fat burners because four low level to medium level workouts a week should at least maintain my weight if not take off a few pounds. Certainly it should tone my muscles.

I also have an elliptical machine upstairs in a spare bedroom gathering dust. Actually my husband currently has two of his guitars resting on it right now. If I can start doing some workouts – hopefully beginning this week, maybe, by the time the bad weather arrives in November or December, I’ll be ready to start using the elliptical again.

Do you workout at home or at a fitness club regularly? Do you use a Wii to get your body moving? Tell me what you do to try to stay fit.
