If you've followed me for awhile, or know me personally you know I love to give (and get) surprises! Although not many people have managed to surprise me - I am a peeker when it comes to presents, a curious soul by nature, and just usually know when something is up....
Back to the giving part..... my latest surprise is targeted again at my hubby because let's face it, I love his face when I manage to surprise him! I will always remember the look when he realized peanut and I made it up to Bissett for her first birthday.
So this year I have once again planned a surprise. J is amazing at going with the flow. He never complains when I want to go out for a fancy dinner, or watch a movie (this is a man who can barely sit still for 20 minutes, you can imagine how movies go in our house). Since our birthdays are only 10 days apart, and usually because I am the one planning something for us, friends and family, and it is the dead of winter, we do something tailored to my taste/style. Not this year!!
I saw passes for Adrenaline Adventures on Auction Mart, and thought what a fun idea! I bought a pass for 10 people to zipline/participate on the climb course. (if you've never seen it - check it out here) I have a reservation for June when J is home and have ordered his birthday cake. What else other than a cake shaped as a Kokanee beer bottle?! I have invited some friends and still have a few to ask but I am so excited to plan another surprise! If we have more than 10 people, that's okay, I'm excited for J to celebrate his birthday actually doing something he would want to do. Now I just need to purchase his wake boarding lesson and xorbing! (xorbing is the large hamster ball)
I am so looking forward to this ~

Some Ups AND Downs
Well after J left I went for a weigh in, and sadly I was up ..... 2 lbs! I have to work my butt off to loose those 2 lbs so I thought after what lead me to failure. Eating off program, eating snacks (chips, popcorn, etc.) late at night, drinking beer or baileys, hmmm, was it worth it? I am now 5.5 lbs from where I should be when I was always AHEAD of plan. :(
BUT instead of getting completely discouraged and frustrated (although I am in myself and my decisions), I decided to get right back on the wagon and stop the madness. Weighed in today and was down a lb. Not a huge loss, but any loss is better than no loss and is DEFINITELY better than a gain, so I'm happy.
Today I spent in the city. I had little things to get here and there, and all of a sudden it was 5pm! I hate when days just fly away from me, but I'm glad to get my errands all done in one day. Tomorrow will be a relaxing day at home, gym in the morning, play time outside in the afternoon. A win-win type of day for both the girls and I.
As for my other goals, well things are moving but slowly. I could not find the classes I wanted for spring session, so I have put that off until fall. Kind of disappointed, but also want it to work, so taking something just to take it doesn't make sense either. I'd rather take something I'm interested in.
For running, well I kind of fell off when J was home, so I'm going to try tomorrow to see if I need to restart from the beginning of the training program. I was not far enough along to believe my 2.5 weeks off did not affect my ability, but it's ok. I will keep working at it. Next time J is home, I will just have to be more disciplined. It is easy to make excuses when he is here, but not the next time. I learned my lesson!
Friday we have a fun surprise, but I'll post about that next week.
We had Peanut's party and I have a few pictures to post, but we'll have to wait on that until next week too. So for now, that's my update. :)
