Weekend in Edmonton;

Well, I decided to go to Edmonton last weekend – and had a blast…minus the drive. Went to Zombieland (which was amazing), and enjoyed watching Emma Stone on the big screen. Sarah got me for the movie (<3Sarah) & my homie Connor hooked me up with free food – and introduced me to all his friends as Asian Vin Diesel…(GPB!!) so I got free refills also. Oh, and PS - That girl in Zombieland is smoking hot! & In addition to that - I pretty much laughed throughout the entire movie.

Rule #1 – Cardio
Because when the world is inhabited by zombies; fat people are the first to go.

Saturday, I went to breakfast with Dylan, Jordan, Amy & Connor. We went to ‘Alberts’; we chilled & chatted – but Jordan had to go to work, so we dropped him off & then headed to the mall for....you guessed right. More food. Chinese food – nomnom. After that – DYLAN had to go work, so I went to Connor’s placed and introduced myself to his parents (they looked a bit scared…oops). I then watched ‘Saw 3’ which I surprisingly enjoyed – even more so than the first two. Saturday night was Rye & Slurpee; Vodka + Seven; and ‘Left for Dead’. I’m pretty sure everyone in the room was scared of my insane girlish laughter about killing Zombies. BUT I mean…COME ON; we just watched Zombieland!



PS – Sorry for lack of recent posts. Sometimes I forget to write things! We all know how short of an attention span I…hey look a penny...

Extended Sigh.

A while back I decided I wanted to try to get certified for Personal Training. Well, I was looking into it – and it appears there are a multitude of certifications. AFLCA seems to be easy enough to get, and is simply courses. But, to get your CPT (Certified Personal Training) you need two years of ‘formal post-secondary’ education. Therefore, I decided to look into what I’d need to join the UofC Kinesiology faculty…which is a lot. As stands, I would need to upgrade the following High School courses:
- Science 10
- English 30-1
- Pure Mathematics 10
- Pure Mathematics 20
- Pure Mathematics 30
- Biology 20
- Biology 30
- Chemistry 20
- Chemistry 30

All I’m saying is…that sucks. A lot. Looking on the bright side – at least I have English 10-1 & 20-1… 2/11 for the win! Then again…I don’t remember anything I learned in High School…it would be very, very interesting.

Oh, and it snowed last night. I hate snow. I hope it dies. That is all!


Update:
After talking to the girl who did all my Fitness Boot Camps, I looked into AFLCA/CanFit Pro a bit more – and it seems like that’s a helluva lot more attainable. Therefore, that’s my next thing I’m going to do. I am leaning more towards CanFit pro (because that’s what she had done) but I’m going to talk to a few friends first and see which I should do – they both are pretty close in the price range. & Then begins the personal training!

Insulin Pump; Nobody has my answers.

As I have nothing to report from this weekend besides Stamps & Flames won, new neck upgrade & I’m on Season 5 E2/3 of Supernatural…Below are my current thoughts:

I’m currently trying to get information on the Insulin Pump. I had sent some inquiries to Manulife – and was promptly ignored/given wrong information. Then our company hired a new broker – who we are supposed to ask all of our Insurance related questions too. I sent an email out last Wednesday morning – after the ‘introduction’. It’s now Monday, and I haven’t even heard a single peep in response. On top of that – I took Thursday off work to go to the doctors to see if I would even be able to get one…and my doctor pretty much told me I have to go talk to other people. Admittedly, he did also say ‘You seem like the perfect candidate to me’, so that’s a plus anyways. And, because I didn’t mention what else I did that day…imagine a 5.5 hour nap in front of a fireplace. Oh god, it was glorious.

Here’s to hoping they get back to me – and that my referral to the ‘Diabetes Education Center’ goes through smoothly, and quickly. I’d like to get all this shenanigans over with.
