It's been a month!!!!

I cannot believe I haven't posted in a month!  It's been a REALLY crazy year so far.  But that's no excuse.  I made a commitment ... I need to honour it.  So an update ....

I started my new job February 29th and I'm loving it!  It's challenging, I'm learning like crazy, the people are great, the company is fairly small but growing, and our office is moving over Easter weekend!  YAY!

And I'm down 36 pounds since September 14, 2011 ... I have SO much more energy, my mind is clear and my attitude is so much more positive.  AND I've been following through on things I've been talking about doing for a while.

We finally registered for the CN Tower climb in support of World Wildlife Fund.  So I have a month to prepare.  No pressure .... it's 1,776 steps.  I think I need to start training ... get my cardio in better shape and strengthen my legs some more.  I work out a fair bit but my cardio has been lacking a bit.  Today .. that changes!

Started a local garden club and had our first meeting.  It was a blast!  I just have to prep for the next one and get a directory together and figure out where I want to take this club.  With input from others of course. :)

I've been wanting to get more involved in the community and to volunteer.  So I FINALLY printed off the application form for Girls Inc.  I think it's SO important that girls and young women have positive role models to look up to.  And with my upcoming schooling in nutrition, it seems like a great place to start since Girls Inc. has health and well-being courses for the girls. 

Nutrition is so very important to all of us ... and we take it for granted.  I was just reading an article on my school's website about the prevention and treatment of Alzheimers.  Very interesting stuff ....

So much is happening ... it's kinda crazy .... but I wanted to let you all know that things are great ... I feel amazing ... and I'm so very thankful for the amazing life I have.

Don't forget ... if I can make these changes ... so can you!  And if there's any way I can help or support ... please reach out.  I'm never far away :)

Wishing you a fabulous life!
