What The Weekend Is For

If you're like me you're pretty happy when the weekend arrives. Although I often have appearances on the weekend, I like knowing my husband will be home and some of my children might even stop by every now and then. This weekend my husband and I were especially social. On Friday night we had dinner with my husband's cousin Tony and his wife Joni. They are a hilarious couple and we love spending time with them. On Saturday we had another dinner date with some of my friends.

Since February can be an especially BLAH time of year it's important to make lots of social plans to keep our spirits up. Today I've gone to visit my daughter Kelsey-Lynn in Kingston. We're having some lovely mother-daughter time. My other daughter who attends Queen's along with Kelsey-Lynn isn't here today. She's spending the month of February in Whistler, BC as a volunteer for the 2010 Olympic Games. She's been keeping all of us posted on her adventures thus far. She even tried skiing for the 1st time in 12 years. What a little adventurer!

Hope you're enjoying your Super Bowl Sunday! We'll be digging into some chili later on tonight while we watch the game. Check out the Eat-Clean Diet for Men for some especially clean and delicious recipes. I highly recommend the Chicken Wings or these Chili Chicken Kabobs! Yum yum yum!

Countdown to the Arnold

This is it! We are one month away from the 2010 Arnold Sports Festival. I'll be counting down as we prep for the weekend of March 5th, 6th & 7th.

Unfamiliar with the "Arnold" (as we call it)? It's the biggest sports festival in the USA (even next to the Olympics... believe it or not). It's for athletes involved in all sorts of fitness and sporting events from bodybuilding to judo to arm wrestling!

I'll be stationed along with the rest of the crew (Oxygen & Clean Eating) at the trade show in booths 1233-1235 & 1332-1334. It's a really fantastic weekend where I get to meet all of YOU! I love hearing all of the success stories and I love meeting you in person.

Come check it out for the weekend and please stop by and say hello!

Happy Friday!

Miami Miami

Here are some photo ops from my lovely weekend "off" in Miami! As one reader commented "Good dietary habits (and those who espouse them) are never on vacation!" How right you are.

We ate well, played lots, and even learned a little, too. What a nice time in the sunshine. Enjoy!

Bob and I like to have fun! Here we are messing around like we're young or something!


Pretty palm trees near the Shops at Bal Harbour.


Me with a Bottero sculpture. We like to visit art galleries when we travel since it's my husband's other passion. I'm sure you can guess his other passion is bodybuilding. This sculpture is a good combination of the two.


It's so nice to be reminded what summer is like with T-shirts and pastels and warmth and water. I almost forget after spending so many months bundled against the cold in Ontario.


I did lots of running on the beach, weight lifting at the gym with our friends, and trying my hand at tennis. How cute as the little skorts!

Life After 50
