I’m Off

Category: LifeEyeliah

I’ve purchased a one way plane ticket to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.  I leave on Tuesday.  It’s kind of nice to have no job, home, responsibilities because that means I can just pick up and go!  Of course I will miss the lovely people of Vancouver but this type of opportunity may not come around again.  I’ve got some cute clothes (I’ll still be blogging) and my yoga mat packed in my luggage as well as this little beauty.

Yes I am a proud new owner of a ukulele!  And bright red to boot.  I’m a leftie and I’ve decided to learn the chords upside down.  I can’t fit an acoustic guitar into carry on luggage so the uke will be a nice substitute to keep my practice up while I’m away.  I already know all the basic chords and am in the process of converting one song “Summer” into a ukulele classic.  Hopefully I’ll be able to record it soon.

I’ve had no time for blogging the past few days but somehow managed to join this fun book tracking website Shelfari via Kater. I updated my ‘shelf’ with the most recent books I’ve read and the next books on my list.  I recently started a book club and the first book was The Glass Castle. We have a month to read it, but I finished it in a week so I’m already on to Life of Pi.

What book have you recently read that you’d recommend?

Weight Loss Wednesdays Post #4

Healthy Breakfasts

Last week I changed up my breakfasts, a cup of shredded wheat with  3/4 cup of almond milk was not enough to energize the start of my day so I added in a small grapefruit. As a result of this addition of  two fruit servings and 6 grams of fiber daily I am given an extra kick to not just get out the door but be excited about it and I also eat less throughout the day.

What do you eat for breakfast?

For exercise this week I biked for three hours, did eight hours of yoga (and taught 2 classes) and also kept busy and walked a lot.  With this combination of better breakfasts and increased exercise it’s no surprise I lost another pound of fat.  Three weeks into this plan I’ve lost three pounds, next week I take measurements.

Clothes I Really Really Miss

Category: My ClosetEyeliah

I received a couple of comments this week on old flickr photos where I’m wearing my sailing sweater, embroidered corset or sheer red dress and it got me missing these pieces among others.  It’s gonna be quite something when I get to unpack all my items in a new home, maybe by June.  At this point I don’t even remember what I’ve kept!

Daydreaming about…

The Watercolor, Yellow Floral and White Silk Dresses

Sheer Lace Blouse, Red Jacket and Highlighter Skirt

Is there anything item, clothing or otherwise that you got rid of and miss?
