I think I can...I think I can...

So you may or may not of noticed the badge at the bottom of my page or the button on the side but I have registered for the "CIBC Run for the Cure" on Oct 2, 2011. It is a fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and it is a 5K/1K run/walk. I joined the Booty Camp Fitness Team so I wouldn't be alone. My former Booty Camp Fitness instructor Susan is on the team, and she is awesome, so I know she would encourage me to do my best!

I have two close family members who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and survived; my Nan (now in her mid 80's), who was diagnosed twice on two separate occasions, and her daughter, my Aunt Tena.This is my effort to spread some good Karma, I will be running so everyone can be as lucky as me.

I *Heart* My Nan  

I HOPE TO WILL run the whole 5K...this is my new goal. Problem is I am not much of a runner..I have 94 days left to become one. I know if I have even a quarter of their strength than I can.

Run for the Cure To Do List:

1. Create My Donation Web page & Start fundraising
2. Dig out my old "Learn to Run" notes and read them
3. Create a 5K route
4. Create a Training schedule
5. Run my ass off

Wish Me Luck!

Silver lining

Immediately after posting my last post I wanted to take it down! I couldn’t believe I posted that out there for people to see! Moment of weakness…

But I have changed my mind, I decided to keep it there to remind me that the next time I am having a few rainy days, and I feel like I`m losing my grip, I can start again. I know it will probably take a long time to change, but I WANT to do it! I never want to feel like that again.

After reading the latest post from “Oh She Glows” I felt a little inspired, even though the issues were a little different I felt like some of the questions and answers still applied to me too. Angela is obviously a very strong woman…an inspiration…perhaps I’ll get my “Glow” back too.

I can do this…I CAN do this…Can saying that enough times make it true?

OK! The Shit List That Kicked My Ass: (doesn’t look like much when you write it down)

1. Make pillow covers – Done and they look good..yea!
2. Make Apron – Ok I have it cut out….it just needs to be sewed together…the hard part
3. Meal Planning – Stumped, this is hard when you are planning for 2 and 1 is picky…perhaps I should add clean out the fridge to this list?
4. Eat Breakfast Everyday – I can’t seem to get out of bed early enough
5. Exercise 3 Days a Week – ha…I should of known better! perhaps I should work my way up to this one
6. Take More Pictures – Took pictures didn’t take them off the Camera…mmm
7. Do My Taxes – Did them today…and I’m getting money back! woot!
8. Come up with Proposal for Photography Class – I have a couple of  ideas….nothing solid yet though…8 more days

Now just one thing at a time…what will the weekend hold?

I added this picture just because it makes me smile…I love  my Kitties
