Pretty Pedicure!

So on Saturday, after a yummy sushi lunch, Charmaine and I trotted on over to Bliss for our "Blissed Out" pedicures. So cool!!! 90 minutes of foot pampering....how could we go wrong?!!! Massages, essential oils, sugar scrubs, mud masks, parafin wax... all topped off with fun French polish. I will sooooo definitely do this again!! In fact, I can't wait for an opportunity to go get this done on my hands. :)

I tried to take pics of my pretty toes for you all to see, but the photos are nothing spectacular to look at and I'm pretty sure you've all seen feet before!!!

Afterwards, DBF met me in town and we took in the Titanica film at the IMAX. Pretty cool, but totally filmed in the late 80s...hahaha. We are hoping to go back and check out the whole Titanic exhibit at the museum before he has to leave for Halifax....it's supposed to be quite amazing.

Bi0nicW0man gets a new ride!!

Yes, finally she gets her much anticipated new bike!!!

After minimal searching and maximum discussion I settled on this little beauty from Russ Hay's Bicycle Shop. The Norco Rideau. I chose the men's frame as it is better suited to my tall body. But don't worry it still came with the comfy, puffy seat I like to refer to as the Mary Poppins seat.

The nice salesboy hooked me up with a cute helmet and installed my water bottle cage for me as he insisted the most important thing is stay well hydrated. (duh!) After I've had her for a little while I will go back for a kickstand, lock, tire pump, and hopefully a cool little odometer so I can track how far I'm riding each week. I'll set some sort of challenge for myself to earn that little gizmo.

For her inaugural ride I took her for a spin up to our property gate and back. 15 mins and that was enough for me!! Bi0nic or not, obviously my cardio is in some need of some serious help! haha! But it was fun and I'm sure I'll be booting along comfortably in no time!!

So by the time Mr. Bi0nic returns from his East Coast mission hopefully I shall have legs (and lungs!) of steel!

Gold!!

In Kickboxing! Finally!! I got my yellow belt last night! Here I am proudly sporting my new belt (with no makeup - just like class - eeeeek)!

Funny timing as I had just told the girls before class that I made myself a promise to go to every class this month. Classes are twice a week and it's pretty rare that I make it to more than 2 or 3 classes in a row. If it's not my back, it's my arm, or I'm sick, or lazy, or whatever. But May is my month to get things done dammit!!!

So now I have my first belt and I feel extra motivated to keep up the good work!!

Congrats to Tiffaney for getting her yellow belt too! Oh and thanks to my gym: www.zuma.tv

Blog-worthy article

My friend Mikey sent this to me today. Now, normally if something is more than a couple of paragraphs long I can't be bothered to read it. I mean, I get a ton of forwards with cutesy little stories and funny anecdotes and I just don't have the attention span to read them all.

But this one is so worth the read! Take a few minutes and you'll be laughing your ass off by the end. Well, at least I was!

Stickers!

Haha, ya OK so I'm a dork. I have started a little game for myself.

• For every day that I stick to my healthy eating guidelines I get a sticker.
• For every day that I get some exercise I get a sticker.
• For every day that I remember to take my vitamins I get a sticker.

No, I am not 12. Yes, I like stickers. I have cute ones of Piglet and Pooh and others of little flowers and stuff. My calendar is ugly and needs some pretty-ing up!

So, May has 31 days.... that's a potential for 93 stickers.... so I think my goal should be to get at least 84 stickers.... that's 90%. Aim high!!! Now I just need a prize to work towards!!
