Class of 2006 - Grade 7 Grad - Wed June 28'06

These days it’s a big deal to finish 7 years (8 if you include Kindergarten) of Elementary school and it is celebrated by their very own ‘Grad’. (I suppose it is a ‘prom’ in the US.)
The Graduation Assembly was Wednesday afternoon, and it went really well and I'm really glad I went.
Aaron and I were recognised along with maybe 8 other families for having attended since Kindgergarten. Aaron and I and all the kids and parents had to go up front and he presented me with 'the gift of Thyme'. An herb plant in a Thompson school coffee mug. I cried a bit!

Aaron did an excellent presentation for the Learning Assistance teacher thanking her for her help through the year. He also received recognition as a Reading Partner for the younger kids. It was great hearing his name announced so many times!There was a great slide show presentation at the end of the whole school of pictures taken throughout the year. That sure brought tears to my eyes too!

So I’m very pleased with the changes I have seen in my body. Keeping in mind (I believe) that the changes I made 3-4 weeks ago started showing up this week.
1.) I cut back and sometimes eliminated wine during the week.
2.) Had structured feeding times. (every 2-3 hours.) Drank 1-2 cups ofreg. tea in a.m. and one decaf green tea in the afternoon. Also been diligent about water intake. (10 cups a day)
3.) I was doing the trainer from the gym’s workout for 4 weeks which I did because it wastime to change from my previous BFL routine. It was 3 sets of 12 reps increasing weights each rep.
4.) At this same time I started doing weights and cardio in Fat Burning zone. (walking on treadmill after lifting) 40 mins workouts.
5.) Two weeks ago I started doing the Kinetix workouts again. One bodypart, 2 exercises, (x15 x10 x5 x5 x10 x15) and 20 mins. HIT running ontreadmill (40 mins workout)
6.) I'm trying to eat more Kinetix meals but I don't eat as manycalories as they want me to.
7.) Going for a run Saturday and or Sunday mornings on empty stomach (well, after a cuppa tea)
8.) Been taking LeanXP (fat burner, appetite suppressant, carb blocker -so they say). I don't care about the appetite supp. Or the carb blockerbecause that hasn't been a problem for me but something sure seems to be helping!

I hope to have pictures taken this weekend! Bill has surprised me and will be flying out Saturday afternoon and taking a Red Eye back to Calgary on Monday night. I am pleasantly surprised for sure! Its Canada Day Long Weekend!
