Another Friday Five MishMash

Woah. Today’s been a crazy day. Our internet has been wonky and SLOW because we used it all up this month too soon and that makes my work difficult since it’s 100% online. It’s been a tiring, trying day but doing this post will cheer me up I know it!

I’m thinking about buying a snowboard. If I can find one on TradeMe (site that is like Craigslist meets Ebay) I might get one before our snowboarding trip this winter. Visiting Snowplanet rekindled my love for snowboarding and woke me up to the fact that I live relatively close to mountains now (Memphis was so flat and so far away from them). I definitely plan to go multiple times while I live in New Zealand so getting a board and boots might be a good idea. I’ll think about it more but it’s been added to my “wish list” of eventual purchases.

Plus snowboarding is good exercise so I can count that as activity towards weight loss which makes a snowboard almost necessary. Right? ;)

Wedding Recap: Food & Drink – because our food was yummy!

Wedding Recap: What Went Wrong – because no wedding is ever perfect!

1. Life is short. Yesterday I was listening to a podcast with a caller who had terminal cancer at 36. She said she hadn’t prepared for it because she didn’t expect it. What a reminder that life is short.

2. Sodium overload this week. I’ve consumed way too much sodium and I know it. I’ll post about this soon but for now all I can think about is whether my next meal is high in sodium and how I can lower it.

3. Measurements. At the gym I noticed in the mirror that my legs appeared smaller than they once were. I couldn’t tell if my judgement was accurate or not so I decided to check my measurements when I got home. Holy moly, I really have lost inches off my body in the last three months. It’s pretty exciting. In a couple days I’ll have my final LiveFit measurements to see!

Four Awesome Things About This Week

JuJu and I had a great week this week. She finally is starting to understand how to walk on a leash without pulling her excited little self all over. Also she now understands the word ball and will find her ball in the yard on command which is amusing. Smart doggy!Dinner tonight is chicken enchilada casserole. I have no idea how to make this but the idea popped into my head last night and it sounded delicious.I’m going ice skating tomorrow with a group of our friends here. Even better, today’s daily deal was for this exact activity so we are going to save half the cost. I used to dislike daily deal sites but lately they’ve been allowing us to get out and try things here without blowing our budget. I’ve only been ice skating a couple times before but it was somewhat fun so I’m looking forward to this!A reader sent me a donation because his mom likes to read my blog. This rarely happens and I don’t ask for donations but it made my day. Thanks David and David’s mom!What are you having for dinner next?What is your favorite way to treat/pamper yourself?Baths or showers? Which do you prefer?What is your favorite/most trusted news website? Why?Do you still read actual newspapers or just get news online?

That’s it for me! I’m done fighting with this internet for now since I know I’ll have another couple days of slow speed to deal with.

Enjoy your Friday and your weekend!
