Wow! I can't believe how hot it was today!!! It was the hottest day of the year and my first day of wearing my convertibles to work. Can't believe it was so hot that I had to take the legs off after work. Bought a new dress and shawl today. Perhaps I will wear it to the little bro's wedding. Told Ray I bought a dress for C's wedding and Ray's response was: "But you already have so many dresses." Actually I don't have that many dresses. I have way more things lilac than I do dresses. This is the first dress I've bought this year. Can't say the same about lilac things :) And no, the dress is not lilac!

Am debating whether to join Curves or do a half-marathon walking clinic. Curves is a 1-year commitment and it isn't cheap. With all my ailments I think the walking clinic is the better idea and will be more worth it as there will be quite a few weeks throughout the year when my back, neck or arthritis bothers me and I wouldn't be able to work out. I like walking in the warmer weather so it will work out.

Went to my weekly L.A. Weight Loss visit today. After all the cookies and desserts I ate this week I amazed myself and weighed exactly the same as I did a week ago - to the ounce! Only 3 more months to go for my year of maintenance then I don't have to go anymore!!! Yee ha! Got my 6-month maintenance refund cheque a few weeks ago so that was great. Can't wait to get the 1-year one soon.

Wow, it sure was muggy today. It's been nice weather the past few days. I went out for birthday lunches today and yesterday. Of course at Milestones I got to share the free chocolate ganache cake - mmm mmm mmm. Coincidentally there were a lot of leftover lemon meringue tarts and chocolate ganache tarts in the morning so I had my share of chocolate ganache today!!!Too bad the polaroid camera wasn't working at Milestones. Oh well, the cell camera had to do. Since it was 2 co-workers' b'days today there was a b'day cake in the afternoon. I wish I didn't eat that as it put me over the edge with the sugar and wasn't sitting too well. Oh well, too late.

Went to C and L's today. They are expecting their 2nd kid this year and have moved into a new place so S picked me up and we both went over for a good visit. Thanks S for driving me and for the 2 types of yummy cookies you just baked this morning. What a great big twin sister you are! You sure have spent a lot of time in the kitchen the past few days. I had so many of the chocolate chip cookies after I got home that I didn't eat dinner. I lost count of how many I ate. I had a slight chocolate buzz but wasn't hyper and speaking fast so that was good.

Had lots of sleep this weekend :) Was around a lot of screeching and screaming kids this past week at various functions. I wonder if any parents go deaf at some point. I appreciate the peace and quiet when I get home.

Wow, time flies. It's been a month since I last blogged. Hmm, let's see. I'll summarize what has happened in the past month. I had a successful bowling fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation's Underwear Affair - thanks everyone for your support! A and I have formed a team for the Underwear Affair so it'll be cool to walk with her and then go to the afterparty.

I've done a lot of eating in the past month: birthday dinners, Mother's Day dinner and brunch, lunches. Ate so much this week that I weighed the most ever since I've been on maintenance (since August last year) when I checked into LA Weight Loss today. Gained over a pound since last week - Yikes! Well, I guess they don't call it the Year of the Pig for nothing - I sure have been pigging out!!! I ate a lot of deserts and sweets this week so need to watch it now. Thanks S for the Tim Horton's triple chocolate donut earlier this week. For some reason I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first time. Possibly because I had an LA Weight Loss chocolate bar first so mixed 2 different types of chocolatey items together. S bought it solely based on me raving about it! I already gave my 5 pairs of fat pants to my co-worker and do not ever want to feel the need to have to wear that size again!!! My co-worker has lost over 70 pounds in the past 6 months or so and coincidentally I gave her my fat pants at the time she needed that size!

Let's see - I've been doing some volunteering with the Underwear Affair and the SPCA, also played badminton a few times. Have been planning a Pampered Chef bridal shower for E. It should be fun. Simone is an awesome Pampered Chef consultant. She has done a show for me at home as well as a fundraiser at work. I've also been to shows she's done for co-workers. The products are of good quality and I'm glad I have them.

My annual hayfever started 2 weeks ago with the usual itchy eyes and nose. I wonder how many months it'll last this year.

Ray and I saw Spiderman 3 today. It sure was busy at the theatre. Between Shrek 3 and Spidey 3 there were only 2 other shows playing - how unusual.
