River Flows In You

Hey everyone, So I was able to knock another one off my goal list this past week: # 49. Play a full piano score by Yiruma I decided to learn and play a piece by Yiruma titled "River Flows In You" as this has always been my favorite piece by him and I find it an incredibly beautiful and moving piece. I completed this goal while I was on my vacation when a dear friend came to visit. I promised him that he would be the first one to hear it when I was able to play it through and now that I have I consider it a completed goal ^^ So I hope he enjoyed it <3 I tried to record a video of me playing it this morning and am going to provide it here for your viewing/listening pleasure. I apologize for the not so great sound quality.. I think its just about time for a new digital camera ^^; But I hope you all enjoy it anyways ^^ <3 Also, This will not be identical to Yiruma's version as I do play mostly by ear but I think its a good cover ^^

Montly Weight Loss Update!

Hey Everyone!

Wow, I guess I kinda dropped the ball on posting for the month of February huh? ^^; But here it is another month and time for another update on my weight loss progress. I'm happy to report that I am now sitting at 292.5 lbs so I lost a total of 5 lbs in the month of February. A total of 18 lbs lost since January 1st 2010! Not as much as I would have liked but thats ok. I was sick for part of february due to some new medications and the like so Im not going to let it get me discouraged ^^ and now that I am feeling better again I should be back on track for the month of March!. So I lost a total of 4 inches this month so thats pretty good as well I think. I'm still very thankful to have the encouragement of some very special people and I know that between my own determination and support that I will get where I want to be <3.

PS: I shall be making up for lack of posts in february today as I update some completed goals and the like <3

Monthy Weight Loss Update!

Hello everyone!

So on the first of every month I will be updating with how much weight and how many total inches I have lost the month previous.

I'm very excited today because I think I am doing pretty well so far! ^^

On January 1,2010 when I started my weight loss journey for this year I started off at 310.5 lbs... I am very very happy to post that as of this morning I am down to 297lbs!! I lost a total of 13.5 lbs in January and this is making me feeling amazing! In addition to of course the great feeling for the # of lbs I dropped when I measured myself this morning as I also do on the first of each month and I have lost a combined total of 10.5 inches! (The combined inches come from my chest,waist,hips,thighs and calves)

I think that this is a fantastic start to my journey and will keep working hard to make the same progress each month ^^

I'm really hoping to average losing about 10 lbs a month which would be the 2-3 lbs per week that they say is healthy weight loss. If I can achieve this each month I have the potential to lose 120 lbs this year! Which would put me at a weight of 190.5 ^^ I know it is not going to be an easy road but I am lucky to have the support of some amazing people who keep encouraging me <3 I look forward to continuing to update with my progress ^^

Thanks!

New Friend!

Hey Everyone,

So I was able to knock another one off my goal list and didnt even realize I had done it until I was looking over my list today lol.

39. Make a new friend in another province/country

I have a very good friend Marshall who lives in New York that I've been friends with for about 4 years now and just recently he introduced me to his best friend Jeremiah through MSN Messenger/Facebook and we hit it off pretty well. He is a very cool guy and always good to give you a laugh. I am very glad to be able to now call him my friend as well ^^

Picture Perfect

Hey everyone!

As promised I am posting a couple of the pictures from my outing with Christine. First off, I would like to say a huge thank you to Christine for doing these pictures for me and for doing such a fantastic job ^^. So I had a lot of fun with her while we did these at 8:30am last Saturday, it was a bit of an overcast day and not too cold thankfully. We took some pictures by a running stream off the Bedford Highway,then down on the Bedford waterfront and by apartment complexes along the Bedford Highway. Hope everyone likes them.. I know I do! ^^

Also wanted to update everyone on the Wii Fitting. So I have been doing really well with keeping into a routine. I usually bike for an hour everyday and then do 1-2 hours on the Wii doing various aerobics,strength training and yoga. So far since January 1st I have lost 7.5lbs!! here's hoping that I can stay with this good of a progress ^^

I'll update again soon ^^ <3

Another one down!

Hey Everyone!

So I was able to knock yet another one off my goal list today with the help of a friend.

# 9. Get some professional pictures taken

My friend Christine is currently establishing her own photography business and does amazing work. We went out at 8:30am this morning to some various places in Bedford for some nice outdoor pictures so that I have a momento of the way I am now before I lose all the weight...Which brings me to my next point.. I've already lost 5lbs since January 1st! woo hoo!.

I shall post some pics once I get them back from Christine and also will make a longer post about our photo adventure.

Mini Update

Hey everyone!

So my stew turned out really well and I am quite proud of myself for making it the first time and having it taste so good!

Also Im still doing the Wii Fit everyday and have set myself a goal to work off a minimum of 1000 calories a day so about 1.5-2 hours of working out. Since starting the Wii Fit I have been feeling much better and have even been sleeping better at night! I've also started really watching what I eat for the new year and am doing well so far ^^

I'll update again soon

<3

Thanks everyone for the love and support!
