Fitness Friday: P90x Fail

I have to admit it. I failed. I'm done. No more P90x. I made it to week 7 before I fell off the wagon. I would like to say that I'm sad about not finishing, but that would be a lie. I'm a little disappointed, but in all honesty, I'm bored! And because of my wrist problems that are getting increasingly worse, I can't do half the exercises anyways. Pushs and anything to do with the forearms causes pain, so what's the point. Most of the weeks I have pole classes when the plyometrics day is.

In other fitness news, (forgive me if I'm whining) I am having to tape my wrist for pole classes as well as for work. I found this week that if I used athletic tape and gave my wrist some support, I was able to pole without having a lot of pain in the hours afterwards. This will work in the mean time until I can figure out what is going on with it. I definitely do not want to quit dancing, and I'm very careful to only do/learn moves that have very little wrist pressure in them.

I'm excited for spring to come soon (although you'd never know with the ice crystals we have in the air today). Running outside with Beta is really fun on the weekends and after work. I look forward to long walks with her and generally just getting outside for some exercise.

Wedding Wednesday: February 16 Check-in

This week has been fairly low key in the wedding department. We did quite a few things, but nothing major. I honestly don't know if there's anything major left! It's all down to the details now.

What was accomplished:

• Invitations are in. Need to pick them up
• Cancelled hall for night before wedding. Moved it to day after so we can do a clean up the next day.
• Tried chair cover on hall chairs. Fits!
• Decorated Ceremony Program basket
• Laid out seating plan. We are doing tables rather than seats. The preliminary tables are done, now we wait for the yes's and no's and rearrange people accordingly.
• RSVP Cards decided upon and ordered
• Maps created and being printed
• Emailed priest for meeting. Waiting to hear back.
• First set of table numbers printed.

What needs to be done: 

• Start making chair sashes
• Call out-of-country groomsman and tell him the measurements he needs to send us
• Collect missing addresses
• Rent chair covers - decide how many we need
• Create 10 more table numbers
• Pick up dress from parents house
• Mail Maid of Honours dress to her. She was supposed to come down to visit, but plans changed

It's Monday! What are you reading? (7 of 2011)

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading, is hosted by One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. 

This meme is a great way to start the week and add some great books to your to-read list. I love looking at what everyone is reading.

Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!!

This week was a slow week for me again. I just can't seem to get myself into reading mode. My mind is filled with wedding! Sadly, now I have to begin to study for my last exam for my fitness certification.

What I Finished

I finally finished it!

What I Am Reading

I received an ARC for this in the mail. Julie at Book Hooked Blog started a blog tour. It's gone around the US and has now made it's way up to Canada to see me! I love it so far. It's just what I need to combat the two sad books I'm reading at the moment.

For February, another Nestie and I are doing a buddy read. We pick a book, read it during the month of February and then discuss!

So far I really like this one.

Listening To

I loved The Red Tent by Anita Diamant so I thought I would listen to Day After Night. I love it! Told from multiple perspectives throughout one chapter, it moves quickly and keeps me engaged.

What's Up Next

One of these three, but I haven't decided which one yet.

In response to "Gunner Day"

My blogger friend from Jessica Love Writes posted a picture of her puppy Gunner. He's adorable and I can see why she loves him so much. Her post spurred me to post some pictures of Beta. I haven't posted anything about her in a long time.
Beta is over a year old now. We have had her in our home for a year this month. I can't imagine life without her! She is smart, funny and sometimes loves to cuddle. She is always excited to see us and provides tons of puppy hugs and kisses.

8/50: Together for Life by Joseph M. Camplin

Together for Life by Joseph M. Champlin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Frenchie and I read through this book to help us plan our wedding ceremony. We are having a full Catholic Mass. The book was laid out really nicely and easy to get through. The provided commentary for the readings was very helpful for us to choose.
I feel much more comfortable with our reading choices and the layout of the Mass than I did prior to reading this book.


This book doesn't count towards any challenges as it is under 100 pages.
