How To Start Your Week Off Right? Bill Murray Quote (and a killer morning workout)

How can you start your week out right?

Well,

a KILLER workouts with friends can do the trick.

(Errr, really Lauren? Really!?!)

Okay fine, your right.

A killer workout with friends WITH the extra, added bonus of

"kankle" weights is WAY better.

Or what's ANOTHER way of starting your week off right?

BILL MURRAY MONDAY'S OF COURSE!

"I made a lot of mistakes and realized

I had to let them go.

Don't think about your errors or failures,

otherwise you'll never do a thing."

Although I may regret the extra ankle weights tomorrow,

HOWEVER,
I do NOT regret

the awful workout this morning...

...well, maybe just un tout petit peu.

(Sigh*)

GIDDY UP, it's MONDAY! 

p.s. Just GO FOR IT!

(Why not?!?)

Bill Murray Mondays~!

I have often said, I love this man.

And indeed it is true.

(sigh*)

I really do.

“The more relaxed you are, 

the better you are at everything, 

the better you are with your loved ones,

 the better you are with enemies, 

the better you are at your job, the better you are with 

yourself." 

- Bill Murray

GIDDY'UP!(It's gonna be a good Monday, I can feel it)

Bill Murray Monday...errrr LATE LAUREN!

Monday is over already? 

Whaaaat?

WHAT HAPPENED??!?!?!?!?!?!

(Sigh*)

School is back on, 

full tilt, 

full swing, 

FULL ON!

Boom.

Let the CRAZY times begin!

or perhaps?

A little help from Bill Murray 

to keep things in perspective?

Yes, please.

Love your work Bill, love it.

Being An Auntie? Naw, it NEVER gets old.

Typical morning of utter-playground-plasticine-chaos.

The force (a.k.a. artistic talent) is strong in the family.

WORKOUT TIME~!

Leia KICKING butt....again, it runs in the family.

THIS NEVER GOT OLD....event though it happened every day.

This got OLD after the first 5 minutes of warm-up....ugh!

Biking with kids, crashing bikes with kids, and

encouraging them to get back on...even if they fall off over and over.

Sigh*

One of my MANY cute nieces...hahahha!

Miss these faces already.

Coming home always WAKES me up....

Every time I come back to Canada 

my heart is 

SLAPPED, 

STUNG,

and 

STOLEN 

by nature.

Period.

My view waking up most mornings.....

...mornings that weren't very sunny.

Still, not too shabby.

My local coffee shop.

The gate that I want to have in front of my cabin one day.

Just saying.

Good place to sit if you had friends.

(Riiiiiiigh Lauren, right)

Awkward silence.

MUSHROOOOOOOOMS!

(Not edible, I tried....and then spit it out.)

You'd think I was 3 years old again but I get excited finding "stuff."

on the beach.

Weird?

Perhaps.

(Okay, definitely yes)

Care factor?

Zero.

Grinning like that chester cat in Alice and Wonderland.

(Sigh*)

Just LOVE being outside all the time.

When I do become old, sick and more crazy that I already am...

... I wanna be taking my last breaths looking at water.

Not sure why but water calms me down.

Always has, and always will.

(Could be the long, lost rower in me? Naw. I am sure it's because of 

my zodiac - Hah! Aquarius baby, guy with water jug).

Failed at taking a selfie by the water but no matter.

The view of water and mountains in background is the better part of picture.

Here to another KICK ASS year.

Happy 2016.

GIDDY'UP!

Not Biased At All BUT...I Found The Cutest Baby in the World

So here is the deal.
THIS SONG NEEDS TO BE PLAYING IN BACKGROUND WHILE LOOKING AT
THESE PHOTOS.
(Why am I always yelling? Hah!)

Good.
Now that the mood is set.....check it out!

FACT:

This is one of the cutest babies alive.
No questions asked,
the results are in.

Just saying.
Say hello to Elijah (lovingly called Eliiiiiiiii)

Heeeeeey Eli......

Not even a smile from this guy as I blow raspberries against his head - HAH!

I will start calling him Stone Wall, Stone Wall Jackson - hah!

Well, maybe I can convince you he is cuter in person?

VIDEO PLEASE!

Done & DONE!

Sigh*

Never easy to leave "home"

Death By Cankle Weights

So.

This is how weight circuit-ING with kankle-weights works...or perhaps does NOT work.

(because you kinda (gulp) die mid-way through)

Proof you say?

Why,

 I thought you would NEVER ask...

Start with the kankle-weights on and 

tell yourself they CAN'T COME OFF, they are APART OF YOU LAUREN!

FOREVER.

(Or AT LEAST until you get through the first round)

Soooo heavy!

Round ONE done....easy-peasy! 

Okay - this killed me.

I was dying.

JUST STOP NOW LAUREN WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD!

 But wait.

Let's just try ONE ROUND without any weight at all...hmmm.

(And yes, that is a fridge you see in the background as I was using my brother's basement laundry room as my GYM...awesomeness!)

DONE & DONE!

Felt like a million bucks

(once I finished puking - HAH!)

These are my new best friends/enemies for 2016!!!

I AM DONE!

CUT OFF, OVER, COOKED, FINISHED, WOLLY-ED, NEVER AGAIN....

...until tomorrow.

UGGGH!

(And yeah-yeah, I will also buy some new gym clothes since I was told by my 6 year old niece

that white bra's are for OLD LADIES!)

Double UGGGGGH!
