Sunday consisted of meeting up with a slew of friends. We went to Perkins for brunch to see Maureen and Shannon who were in town for the weekend and a big gang showed up. Topics ranged from Miss November (from Kapuskasing!) to Joelle’s birthday which seemingly involves a girls-only affair which we ridiculed because it always seems that girls like to do things on their own and the guys get left at home.
The rest of the day had Vero and I scouring store after store for certain items we want to get for the house. New bathroom designs, closet designs, lamps and BBQ lighters were the topics of the afternoon. By 3:30 we realized it was kind of pointless to head back to Vars only to turn around again to go to Eric and Annie’s so we took a nap for a bit.
Supper at Eric and Annie’s was fun. Philippe must have been hopped up on some sugar as he was tearing around the house most of the night. I find the dynamic between him and his brother to be interesting…Philippe seems to be the outgoing one while William has a good time just hanging out. Granted, it wasn’t long ago when Philippe was quite shy…so maybe it just takes a few years to see the true character in a person. My favourite comment of the night was hearing that Philippe is part of a gang in school. Sweet! I hope he gets a headband or something!
The meal was excellent…some chicken and bumblebee desert prepared by the lovely Annie. No complaints at all from the meal.
Eric showed me these exercise videos he is taking called Insanity. Surprisingly most of the things in the video were EXACTLY what Vero and I did the week before in Cardio Kickboxing so now I’m wondering if the instructor gets inspiration from these videos. I am also contemplating trying out the videos for myself but I’m not sure I will have enough motivation to keep up for an hour (read: it’s a lot harder to bow out when you have twenty women in the class still going strong!).
Tonight I have an actual kickboxing gym to go to so we’ll see how that turns out. I think Vero will enjoy it while I may find cardio kickboxing to be more up my alley. My three goals towards exercise are as follows: #1 with a bullet is to have a stronger heart as heart problems are prevalent in my family. #2 to is to lose weight. #3 Have more energy. I could care less if I have muscles.
