Exercise Log (week 15)

Soccer is cancelled due to rainy weather on Tuesday. :(

And starting Wednesday I'm not feeling too well so I even cancelled the Grouse Grind trip on Saturday. Still, I went for a walk in the Lighthouse Park. Better than nothing!

Sunday: jogging in QE Park for about an hour.

Relaxing Weekend

Saturday
Originally planed to go hiking up Grouse Grind. Haven't done that for a few years. But I wasn't feeling too well since 2 days ago so I guess my energy level is not good enough for this intensive workout yet. Still, I want to head out to the nature in such a nice (and hot) weather so we decided to go to the Lighthouse Park in West Van.

Although it's a relatively easy walk in the Lighthouse Park, we still decided to have a nice and fatty meal before heading out to the trail. We had lunch @ the Modern Burger
Despite the sliding review, I still like the burger and especially the milkshake. I do found that not as many people as before. It used to be full house around the same time I went half a year ago. And of course, I like the retro 1950s interior design there.

After lunch we started heading towards the Lighthouse Park in West Van. After a relatively easy hike (mostly downhill), we arrived at the view point. That is, the light house. :)

On the way back we pass by the West Van Community Center. Yeah I can tell it's a rich community since the community center is so pretty and large. It's even better looking than the university campus!

After that we stopped at the Village besides Park Royal and have a drink. Since we are still full from the "burger", we went back home for dinner.
Weekend @ West Van


Sunday
Had lunch in Vietnamese noodle place. This is the 2nd time we went there. And wow! Bump into people we know from two other tables! One couple from the Europe tour we joined last year (although it took me a while to figure out how we knew each other). And my ex coworker. He's so good at singing, particularly sing like Leslie Cheung! We had chat for a while. After lunch, we head down to the States to get Sees' Candies for my Dad. To my surprise, huge lineup. I am so grateful that I got Nexus card, otherwise there would be an hour lineup. Same with coming back to Canada around 7. Lineup is also around 1 hour if no nexus. This time we went through the Nexus lane in Peach Arch.

Exercise Log (week 14)

Monday: Still in "post holiday" mood after the 4-day trip. Went out for grocery shopping during lunch hour instead.
Lunch: Ham+Egg bun + mango crepe

Tuesday: Soccer with coworker for 1 hour
Lunch: European cheese cake + mocha @ Diplomat. Treat my friend's a slice of cake for her birthday.

Wednesday: Canada Day holiday...walk around Steveston Village and Whiterock ( I guess walk 1 hour @ each place)
Lunch: Dim sum
Dinner: still full from lunch, had carrot soup + some veggie instead.

Thursday: no exercise, went back home to prepare my curry chicken dinner. Hubby got a last minute notice conference call at 8pm. I won't have enough time to get dinner ready before his call. So I gave up my exercise time during lunch hour for cooking. The curry chicken turns out quite good though. :)
Lunch: orange + kiwi

Friday: Swimming for half an hour (17 25-m pool-deep water side, so there is not much stopping in between).
Lunch: crepe @ cafe crepe with friends (yeah...drive to d/t)

Saturday: Jogging in QE Park for about half an hour (+ walking so altogether about 1 hour)
Lunch: left over from last night.

累

想必是年紀大了,真的很容易覺得累。

好像今天晚飯後本來還想去吃甜品,但看了一會報紙後,竟然累得不想動,縱使昨晚睡得很早。

而且,近幾個月我都睡得不太好。

身,心都很疲累。

儘管,我很怕失眠,但我更怕因身體不適而要臥床,因為在那時候,腦袋是完全清醒,但只感覺到不適,甚至是痛,痛得怎樣躺臥的姿勢都沒有幫助。很想迫自己入睡,只想睡了便什麼都感覺不到,但世事豈能盡如人意。可以做的,只是無助地等,等藥力發作;等半小時,便好像是一輩子的時光。所以我很佩服那些跟頑疾搏鬥的人,因我自問應該沒有這個本事。

健康,才是無價寶。

Canada Day

A very relaxing day. After having dim sum @ Starlight Kirin, had a walk in Fisherman's Wharf in Richmond. However, I guess we were too late and missed the parade and salmon festival. After that we drove all the way to Whiterock and walked around for another hour. Then it's perfect time for the movie - Transformer II. I am not particularly thrilled about this kind of movie. I didn't even watch part I. Movie ended at 10:30 but we were still kinda full from the lunch. So we just had carrot soup from last night, a few pieces left over dim sum and veggie for "dinner".
