Snot

Good morning!

You read the title correctly...snot.  It's on my mind today as I work through this cold.   Yesterday, it was on my top lip...yes...running from my nose to my lip right in the middle of my audition!  Hideous!  Why my nose had to dribble at that exact moment I will never know...the good news is that the casting director likely won't soon forget me!  She was very gracious, offered me a Kleenex and we moved on.  Wonder if I will be getting a call back for this one??


What else can you do but laugh?  My friend Becky and I laughed for hours yesterday.  Our 15 hour Vancouver adventure began at 6:30 am.  We hit the road for the coast with oatmeal, healthy snacks, coffee and reading material. 



The snot incident was one of several funny moments.  We got lost (many times), we lost the truck momentarily in an underground parking lot and Becky thought the Canucks were playing in the Stanley Cup Final last night!  All giggle worthy moments.

We had grand intentions of fitting a run into this day...but it didn't happen. We did, however, keep our food intake pretty healthy (except for some mini eggs ~ bad Becky for buying them!)  I always find it challenging to eat clean (and vegan) on the road.  My 'go to' right now is Subway.  I order the wheat bun, then ask them to dig out all the 'inside' bread.  Basically it just leaves you with the crusty part.  I get it loaded with veggies!  (Thanks to Lucy for that 'bread' tidbit.)

Thank you Becky for making a long day fun!  I always enjoy my time with you!  What better a place to catch up then hours together in a vehicle.

Tomorrow, I'm going to share my absolute favourite meal of the moment!

Enjoy your day.

Toby

LASER UPDATE

Hello Friends. Just checking in after what's been a long break from the blog!  I wanted to update you as I continue my laser treatments at Advantage Body Clinic. A bit of history ~ I have stretch marks from two pregnancies.  I had a tummy tuck six years ago to get rid of sagging skin and repair a separated abdominal muscle.  The surgery was wonderful, no more sagging skin, but it didn't get rid of the stretch marks. For the last half year (or so) I've been undergoing treatments at Advantage.  Using 'Fractional Laser' technology, Kathryn and Karen are adamant I will be stretch mark free when this process is complete.  I have had six treatments, I have noticed much improvement in the appearance of my stretch marks, but they aren't gone.  It seems my surgery, which stretched the skin, impacts the laser treatments.  It doesn't mean it won't work, it will just take longer. Again, one of the great perks of these treatments, which promote collagen pr...

New Life, New Job, Same Goals

Hi Friends! It's been a while.  I lost my blogging mo-jo a few years back just before everything in my life changed.  I've been through a time of extreme reflection, growth and change.  I left my marriage in 2017, started an amazing new job at Kelowna's NEW 103.1 Beach Radio in the spring of 2018 and somewhere in there found the love of my life. This period of adjustment has been at it's core, a shift to happiness.   Ensuring my daughters are happy and secure in the new arrangement has been of paramount importance.   This transition has been so worth while but as with any new journey some of the old, familiar things fall by the wayside.   If you follow me on social media or if you read this blog when it was active (2011-2014), you know that healthy eating and exercise have always been part of my daily life. Through my 20's and 30's, I was up and out of bed at the crack of dawn running, riding or doing some form of exercise.  I...

Hello Friends. For as long as I can remember I have dreamed about being thin.  Life would be better, I would be prettier, people would like me more...if I was thin. Recently, I came across a picture of me that was taken 15 years ago...I was not thin...in fact the person staring back at me was 30 pounds heavier and almost unrecognizable.  It made me cry...not just tears, but sobs.  How could anyone have liked me...let alone love me?  Once I re-gained control of myself, I felt depressed, sad for the girl in that picture...but as I flipped through all of the photos (a trip to NYC with Curtis before we were engaged) I started remembering the places we'd visited, the laughs we'd shared and the memories made.  Wait, life WAS good then...I was just too obsessed with my weight to notice. Fast forward to the present and I now realize how much time I wasted 'vying' to be thin.  How much of our lives drift by while we're trying to be something else?  N...
