Friday and Saturday

Hello Clean Eaters One and All...

How did it become the 19th of October? I am amazed at how quickly the weeks are flying by. Halloween is just around the corner! And then the holidays will be on our doorsteps.

I spent all day yesterday filming. They filmed my daughter and me shopping at Sherway Gardens mall here in Ontario. Did anybody see those 2 crazies looking for sheets yesterday at the mall? If so, that was Chelsea and me. We are redecorating her bedroom now that she is almost 16 and looking for something a little more mature.

But today I am taking advantage of a day off.

I'll be spending it with my husband and stepdaughter on this crisp fall afternoon. What are you up to in your respective parts of the world today?

The competition is drawing nearer. I had a Skype date (internet video phone) with my daughter yesterday and she reminded me that in a month we will be in Las Vegas. That sent a little wake up call to me.

On that note, here are my eating and training logs for Friday and Saturday:

I read one comment last week that asked why I had stopped eating bee pollen and replaced it with Salba. As you may have noticed from my eating plan above I haven't removed it, I just switch it up with Salba here and there. Variety is they key!
