It's how I order my deli meat and it's also how much weight I lost this week.
I'm pretty happy with the loss as my week was less active then it usually is. So yay me. But really, it's time to shape up and get my arse back to the gym on a very regular basis.
Right now at the gym I'm in a six week cycle of heavy weight lifting with my trainer, Lindz. It's pretty fun but it also leaves me paralyzed for the next two days. Last night I did tricep supersets, which sounds very exciting right? It's not. It's basically just intense, unstoppable torture to my poor teeny, tiny triceps that leaves me unable to so much as tie my hair in a pony tail for the rest of the week. Ouch. So people, I expect LOTS of compliments on my great looking triceps in the near future :)
Anyways, aside from my gym antics, I also discovered my new favorite food this week...tortilla pizzas!! Last night I ate two, all for only seven points. Here's how I make them:
2 Dempsters body wise tortillas
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 tbsp salsa
1C (or whatever amount you like) chopped red/green peppers
1/4 of an onion, chopped
50g (three slices approx) of low fat ham, chopped.
2/3 C part-skimmed shredded mozzarella cheese
Spread 1 tbsp of tomato paste on each wrap. Then spread 2tbsp of salsa on each as well. Top with green/red peppers, onions and ham. Spread the cheese evenly over the two pizzas. Bake at 425 Celcius for 12-14 mins or until cheese is bubbling. The end!
It's such a quick, easy and low-point supper that I just want to eat them every night. And maybe I will...you should too :)
So, on the wedding front, things seem to be progressing well. I'm stuck trying to figure out where to honeymoon. We're really hoping to go somewhere in Europe, however those darn "down south" all-inclusives are just calling our names with their cheap prices. Ack. What to do, what to do.
Also, I have a big announcement. I've decided to make table-runners! Crazy eh? Yes? No? Anybody? I'm ordering fabric off Etsy and me and me Ma are gonna go sewing crazy. Oh the joys of wedding planning....they're neverending!!
OK, I'm off to bask in table-runner joy...so until next time all :)

El lazy-ars...
Well, I'm back. Miss me? Probably not eh? Anyways, it's been a long time since I've been here and quite honestly I have no real excuse besides being too lazy to be witty and interesting. How lazy is that? I think that might be the height of laziness. Oh well. I'm too lazy to care. ha.
Anyways, things have been going well for me over the past few weeks. I've FINALLY reached my 10lb lost mark. Hurrah. And I did it despite being on vacation. How much do I rule? I'm pretty pleased with myself but I also know, based on my previous attempts at weight loss, that it's about this time that I start getting a bit too lax with my eating. So I'm really trying to stay focused on eating well and exercising often. Easier said than done, though, especially when cake and chips are constantly finding their way into my cupboards. How exactly do I stop that again? I can't seem to remember.
So, in addition to the weight loss stuff, my summer has been going pretty well. Jack has been his usual hilarious self, despite his new found love of the word "NO". Everything is "NO"...even when it's "YES". Hmmmm, no means yes...NOT a good lesson to be teaching my son.
Jack aside, I have a feeling that this blog might be turning into a crazy bride forum in the near future, so this is your official warning. I'm getting married on Oct 24th and it's creeping up REALLY fast now. Money is literally flying out of my pockets as we speak. We've done a pretty decent job at keeping our expenses to a minimum without sacrificing the awesomeness of the day which is no easy task. But really, when flowers cost 1200 dollars, there's only so much penny pinching one can do! A girl needs her gerbers.
Weddings do funny things to women. I mean, if you know me at all, you know that I could care less about ribbons, bows or flowers, but for the past week my biggest stressor has been trying to figure out how on earth I'm going to get Ian's boutonniere to match his tie. Seriously. This is my life now. Feel free to ignore my calls and make excuses not to hang out with me. The real Courtney will return on Oct 25th at approximately 3am. I swear.
OK. Enough for now! Enjoy this crappy, rainy day everyone!
