New friends

Went on a long walk in the woods. We were talking about this and that, when suddenly I saw these guys. The conversation was over! We just stood there and stared at each other!IMG_2516_edited-1

until they ran back in the woods and we went back to our conversation!

Ten on Tuesday

1. Summer is here – so of course I had to go to Jean-Talon Market last Saturday to see all the beautiful veggies and fruits! It is not the peak season yet, in about a month there should be more to see and buy!

2. I just love strawberries – my fave fruit this time of the year! I also love blueberries but not as much as fresh strawberries.

3. Went to see my cousin on Sunday – we had tea on her patio with some fresh banana cake that I had baked (recipe and photos to come). I love dogs so I was happy I could pet and play with Dixie!

4. Last night went for a walk and saw they were giving dance classes outside – so fun! Thursday is Zumba – if it’s nice, will have to go and try it out!

5. Darn anxiety… when I think I am done with it, it comes back for no reason. Today is a bad day – don’t know why, the sun is out, it’s a beautify day, but I am fighting anxiety attacks… grrrrr!

6. Have been good with the gym. Still going 3-4 times a week. Does help with my anxiety :)

7. Been running a couple of times a week outside. Went this morning again and ran a 5km in about 31 minutes. Next step is to push myself more and run 45 minutes. Love to give myself challenges!

8. We are trying to book our Summer vacation. We were hesitating between Cape May and Cape Cod. Finally, we decided on Cape Cod. We have been a couple of years ago, but we were camping at that time. This time, we will rent a small place for a week. I can’t wait!

9. We try to be healthy most of the time. When I saw Ben preparing our veggies for our lunches this week. I knew I had to take a photo! He prepares Ziploc for every day of the week so that we get fresh veggies every day!

He also makes little packages for our salads (here feta, veggies and garbanzo beans).

10. WW – don’t know what I did this week, but lost 2 pounds – yeah for me!!

Ten on Tuesday

1. Didn’t post 10 things on Tuesday last Tuesday… because my computer got a virus – again! It’s been twice in about 6 months that I had to take it back to Best Buy for them to clean it. Hopefully, it will be the last time!

2. No photos were lost with the virus. I lost many Photoshop Elements actions though. Not happy about that. I had bought a bunch a few months ago and they are gone. That will teach me – back-up, back-up, back-up!!

3. Today is Ben’s birthday. He finally caught up to me! :) He is in Toronto for work so no celebration (we celebrated when we went to Quebec City Easter weekend). Happy birthday Ben!! xoxo

4. Last night was election time in Canada. Stephen Harper was elected again. Not too happy about that – but we will see if he can do better this time around.

Election

5. Got a haircut last Thursday. Decided it was time because Ben has mentioned twice in the last two weeks that maybe it was time for a haircut!

6. Went for a long walk in Châteauguay last Sunday – it was warm and the sun was out. We were talking but I was looking around to take some photos (of course!) when I saw a few deers! What a view!

7. I am finishing up Season 1 of Friday Night Lights. Took me a while to get into it – but now want to get Season 2! Bought it from Itunes – been watching it on my itouch. Not a very big screen – but makes for a shorter commute back home!

8. Met my little cousin on Easter. He is 9 months old and he is ADORABLE! Too bad I can’t share any photos – he is too cute!

9. Exercise is going well. Went to the gym 4 days last week and did an exercise dvd on Friday. Power walked with Ben 6 kms on Saturday and we walked more than 8 kms on Sunday.

10. WW is not going so well. I am motivated when I stay at the meeting… then I get home, and I make some wrong choices. That’s why I gained 1.4 pounds this week. :(

Animals from the Cap St-Jacques Farm

Took these last Sunday when we went for a nice walk at Cap St-Jacques. Most of the animals were inside and I forgot to bump up my iso... still, they are cute, so I'm sharing anyway :)

what are you looking at?

2 Tired Dogs

Had a great weekend with family in a cute little country house near a lake last weekend.  We had a fun time as well as my brother's dog, Oscar, and my cousin's dog Dixie - who were both really tired after a day of running, playing and swimming!! :)

Cap St-Jacques

One of my favorite parks - Nature Park of Cap St-Jacques.  You can walk many miles, you can go swimming and you can also see some gardens and animals.


The path leading to the farm - love this path! 

Weeds everywhere - Love weeds!!

Some wild berries

Pretty flowers

Cute little guy

Beautiful horse that didn't want to come to close - too bad!
