myLot reputation of 82/100. IlsaVunes (586) 4 years ago

Well I must say I feel like a new person today. I have been more active in the last month than I have in two years of being stifled. I have been helping my new room mate with her gardens and general yard upkeep, and we are now set to do some painting in her house. I'm feeling a lot better physically, being able to get some exercise. Even though my back still bothers me and I have to take frequent breaks, I still feel so much better over all. I have even started a low carbohydrate diet and have lost eight pounds so far this month. Woo hoo!!! I am going to join a nearby gym soon and start doing some weight training to increase muscle mass and further boost my sluggish metabolism. In a couple weeks, we are going to attend the Calgary Stampede, which is something I have wanted to do for many, many years. Then when we really get into the dog days of summer, we are going to go camping for a few days in Jasper Provincial Park, in the Rocky Mountains. We are also going to go visit the badlands and Dinosaur Provincial Park which is something else I am excitedly looking forward to. Well that's my summer so far and the reasons I have been neglecting my myLot discussions. How about you all, how's your summer going, and what are your plans?

hey, hows the weather out there? i am in southern ontario and it is finally starting to get hot (i like summer, just not the humidity!) i have to say that i have never been out your way, but would love to travel with via and go from toronto to vancouver, i hear its amazing! (oh i would love to see the west edmonton mall just once! lol!)

It's finally starting to warm up. We have had lots of rain and cool weather which is not really normal, but dryer weather is heading our way. Yes it is amazing, unique and so much to do and see. Just incredible. Yeah the mall is on my winter to do list, lol.

Eight pounds, well done you! It sounds like you are so happy, I am almost envious of you! My summer is a stop at home one now, we started having some work done in the garden. The garden is that big that it is going to cost way more than I thought, but I want to get it done or else it will look daft being half done.

We might just have a couple of days out though as we have some brilliant vouchers for places that let our kids in free!

Yeah it's coming off pretty good, I gained a lot over winter and clothes were getting too tight to wear, so time to tighten up the reigns and shed the excess! The low carb thing works really well and I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. I've done it before and the weight stayed off for once. It's the only diet thats ever done that for me. It apparently fixes a sluggish metabolism.

I've been a little neglectful of myLot too as the weather outside is beautiful and there are many interesting things to do here while we are still on vacation.

I'm jealous lol. I live in Vancouver, and we were supposed to be visiting the National Parks in Alberta this summer, but our plans changed when they hiked our Gas prices up! I've been to Banff national park, and through part of Yoho National Park. I've never been to Jasper though, and I'd love to see that park, as well as Glacier National Park.

I celebrate my 30th birthday in the middle of the Summer this year, and so we decided instead to book a Whale Watching trip, and then we may go up north and visit a friend for a few days. My partner booked the week following my birthday off, so we should be able to get some trips out of that week. Hopefully!

I am so happy for you that you are enjoying life so much! We went to Disney and a couple of beaches this summer. Now we are just relaxing and enjoying our time at home. Hope you have lots of fun during your summer!
