Sunday's Hike

So on sunday I proposed to some friends that we go on a hike. We discussed places that are close to edmonton to hike rather than the mountains. Although the mountains would be ideal for hiking considering the majestic beauty of it all, I just wanted somewhere that didn't require any gas. So we went to Elk Island Park for a 10k hike. It took us 2 hours and 45 minutes! We were pretty tired by the end of it, and I just laughed so much because Steven was considering going hiking on the long weekend, as in hike with your backpack to the place you want to sleep and the only stuff you have is the stuff you carry on your back. It would involve hiking all three days of the long weekend and hiking for most of the day. He was considering this and I told him that he should. I have never heard him complain so much as on this hike, holy moley. He kept saying "well I definitly made up my mind about the long weeknd!" He HATED it, and it was only 10k. I seriously do hope that I can at least once go hiking in the mountains this summer some time, maybe with Steve if he can handle it!

Steven's teeth

This picture is totally ridiculous! ha ha. thanks tab. I'm just doing more homework. I didn't go to class today. It was the greatest. And I got a lot done. Steven is getting all four wisdom teeth out today so I'm making him jello. I'm making pink jello and then putting whipping cream in the shape of a big tooth. Or maybe a big mouth iwth teeth and draw a tongue. Anyway, I thought I would put those 7-11 candies on top, those candies that are teeth and gums.....pretty funny. But he won't be able to eat the candies... Poor Steve.

This is great

After completing the amazing race for a fundraiser in October that required running all over the city, I realized how incredibly out of shape I am! I knew that I bought a "get in shape book" last year so I looked through my bookshelf and found it! I had bought a special edition book version of this magazine on "3 weeks to a flat belly!" (The picture is not of my book, but its the same makers.) I never really opened it up until just recently - which is so like me. I keep hearing about the health risks of having weight on your belly, and apparently of all places on your body, fat is most likey to hinder your health when its on your belly. (I have actually looked into this!) And besides all that, Oprah said so! Also, having strong abs helps immensly with back pain. So I started doing the beginner ab work outs everyday since five days ago! ha ha. I just love this book, it keeps away from extremes, so I will keep you posted on how this turns out and whether or not I continue to recommend it. In three weeks I WILL have a firmer belly, and maybe in three weeks I may have a flatter belly. (The magazine also comes with some meal ideas and must eat foods, ideas for post pregnancy weight, and SO MUCH MORE! ha ha. I will post later on this healthy information!)
