Easter dinner on Sunday 🐣

We get having an Easter dinner at my in-laws house. 🏡 on this raining ☔️ day on Sunday April. 20, 2025

It’s been raining most the day so far, a gentle rain. 🌧️

Toronto vs Ottawa is playing tonight.

We ate turkey,🦃 ham, mashed potato 🥔 stuffing, carrots 🥕 peas 🫛

Lots of food tonight. I had to decline desert, I ate that much two plates from dinner. 🍽️

I was told by my doctor I have the start of fatty liver disease from the food I’m eating. As such less sweets and carbs. Although I went right into the carbs this Easter. Should have stuck more with protein there was lots of meat.

🍖

I am 27 days quit tonight from smoking 🚬

So over all 57days quit out of 110 days in the year so far. Still over half way quit for more than the years days🙂

With my quiting in January for 30 days.

We take a quick family photo wearing our Oilers jerseys. 🙂

It sounds like you have a full day ahead with a wonderful family dinner, even with the rain! Enjoying a good meal of turkey and ham is always a treat, even if you’re being mindful of your health. It's great that you're focusing on a healthier eating style, especially with the changes your doctor has suggested.

Congratulations on being 27 days smoke-free! That’s an impressive accomplishment, and over half of the year being smoke-free is something to be very proud of. Keep up the great work!

I hope you have fun taking that family photo in your Oilers jerseys! It sounds like a lovely day spent with family despite the weather. Enjoy the game tonight too!

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

🎉 Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run 🏃‍♂️

The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning, I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️ Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone 📞 also. Hoping to take the dog 🐕 for a run 🏃‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating 😅 by the time I got home 🏡. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. 🏃‍♂️ It’s been raining heavily the last...
