Welcome To The World

My little nephew Cooper. What a gorgeous little bundle he is. And who would have thought I'd get all clucky. Such precious innocent little things. It certainly made me contemplate my priorities in life. Last Friday my best friend Ghislayne gave birth to her 4th child, a little girl named Emma. I am surrounded by bubbas. I wonder.......

Well it's been a while since I've posted. I arrived in Sydney the day Genevieve gave birth. Also over that weekend I went to help Christy get ready for her first show. She looked gorgeous, very feminine and at ease on stage. She came 2nd in the Novice Figure line up. While at the show I also had the please of meeting Hillary, Nicc and Nicole. I had a great time that day. Castle Hill RSL is the best RSL I have ever been to. Unlike Christy, I pigged out at lunch time.......oh, and dinner. I even had tirimisu for dessert : ) Piggsy

I have had better weeks than the last couple of weeks. A couple of stressful incidents with work. I will have a case going to the commission in the future. I will be meeting with the lawyers next week.......one of many things. Plus I managed to come down with some germs after we returned from Sydney. Knocked me out for a few days. I tried to go for a walk last weekend, poor Arnie hadn't been walked for a whole week. I didn't fare too well, we were home within 20 minutes.

Yesterday I went back to the gym. I did a leg workout and I am so freakin sore it is unbelievable. I don't usually get affected by DOMS when I am training regularly, but I obviously pushed it a little too hard for my first workout back. My hamstrings scream at me everytime I try to walk.

I have made a decision to compete at the Nationals this year. I qualified in April, so I have decided I'll step up to the challenge again. I have just finished putting my diet together and my training schedule. It feels good to have a focus again. I have been rather lost over the last week, have felt like I have so much spare time, I'm not used to that. But that is about to change. I start my new training schedule tomorrow - straight into it. I'm really excited now that I have established some goals. So I will get back into the swing of training and I then start studying again in July. I will lose 2 nights per week going to college. So then I will feel like I have no spare time : ) I bought a note book today, I've decided to create my own motivation journal. I'm going to carry it with me everywhere!

We decided to put the house back on the market. We met with the agent on Saturday afternoon. I am excited about the prospect of selling now. We really weren't committed to the process last time. But Ive broken my emotional attachment to this house and I'm already planning my new kitchen! I'm going to have a pull out pantry this time, not a walk in. I love planning kitchens!
