Fam Time Mondays

Mondays are my hubby's day off and so we try to make it a point to do something we all enjoy. So yesterday, we decided to go a little further from home to visit the Fathom Five National Marine Park in Tobermory, Ontario (about 4 1/2 hrs from the GTA).

We truly enjoyed the day. We were quite active which we all enjoy. We walked around Little Tub Harbour and enjoyed some Beavertails before our boat tour. Our boat tour took us to two shipwrecks that can be seen above water (the other ships can only be seen by scuba diving) in Big Tub Harbour. Then we were dropped off at Flowerpot Island to hike the trails. And because we are just plan crazy, instead of sticking to the trail for 1st part of it, we ended up climbing up and down rocks to get from one flowerpot to the other. It was a bit challenging and definitely was fun! :) Then we followed the trail to the cave and Castlerock Lookout which we actually had to run because we were running out of time and would miss the boat back. That was challenging! lol.

We enjoyed some YUMMY Fish & Chips (one of the best I've had!) before the drive back. This place will definitely be a regular mini-getaway for us. There are still many areas to visit here and will definitely visit the other national park that's near by. This place is a definite must to visit.

Almost there! Hubby and I took turns taking pictures. lol.

The best man I know

This Father's Day was really nice. We had breakfast with my hubby's family then we did what all the men in our family liked to do golf! We'll not all so instead of an actual golf game, we just went to a driving range. :) My husband loves his brothers and was thrilled to have spent a chunk of his day with them.


I love this man. He is my best friend and a gift from God.


Brothers and cousins


Father with his boys and their boys :D



They love spending time together! I love these three!!!


These two women are amazing and I have all the love and respect for them. With Mom and Trish.

Weighed this morning, -0.5 lbs. :( Not what I wanted but I'm at the lowest I've been in the past 3 or 4 years!!!! YAY GOD! :)

Today, I'm 150.5 lbs! :)

17 years ago...

This is a really old photo that I recently was tagged in Facebook. Holy cow, I was skinny!!! LOL! Anyway, I don't know if I can ever go back to that but wow, seeing this definitely makes me think of how much I've let myself go! Those ice cream and cakes don't seem worth it compared to this!!! Need to remember that when I'm thinking of overindulging! On a side note, I really LOVED that dress!!! I'd totally wear that if they had a bigger and longer version (past the knees). lol. :)

My young man at his 1st Banquet

Our son went to his 1st banquet last night. He actually really didn't want to go (he actually didn't even tell us!). We found out from one of the parents and so we made him go. lol. My hubby and I knew he'll enjoy himself but he just needed to take risks and put himself out there.

He really is growing up. I still remember going to banquets in high school. Has it really been that long? I guess so!!! LOL! He enjoyed himself and I'm so glad that he wasn't too opposed to me taking a few pictures. :)

Our boy is looking all grown up. :) Love him!

Lovely young ladies!

Two of these girls, I've known since birth. Can't believe how fast they grow!

Went treetop trekking and ziplining yesterday. It was so much fun and challenging! Definitely a workout!!! :

Filipino Sabbath

So excited today because for over a decade I couldn't wear a Filipino dress coz of my weight or/and insecurities. Today, for Filipino Day at church, I was able to fit (although a bit tight) into my Mom's Filipino dress. How great is that!!! :D

afternoon adventure

We sorely needed family time where time was a factor and it's just the three of us. So we decided to explore the richness Ontario has to offer. :)

We picked up our boy from school and whisk him off to Port Hope. It's about a 20-30 minutes drive.

It was a wonderful time! Lil' Allen greatly enjoyed the adventure. Port Hope Marina is a hidden jewel.

Trying to get back to reality

It's been really hard this past week with the move and all. I found myself ignoring my good habits so that I can pour all my attention to unpacking and organizing.

Now I'm having a REAL difficulty eating healthy. :(

So far I've had 2 1/2 pancakes with a total of 1 tbs maple syrup.

Haven't weighed myself... kinda scared!

moved

Finally moved in, thanks to a bunch of amazing people for helping us!

I always tackle the kitchen first after moving in. Feels good to scrub the kitchen clean. It's all disinfected too! :D
