Good morning!
Wow is the weather ever gloomy here today! It is grey, grey, grey. The nice thing last night was that it was still light during dinner time, which means there will be better ‘dinner pictures’ from here on out. The worst part about photography is the no natural light photography!
Eric has a Canon 40-D SLR and he is going to show me how to use it so I can start using it for the website to make my pictures even better! I’m excited :)
His camera:
He got this camera a couple years ago after reading tons and tons of reviews on cameras. It was supposed to be top of the line in its’ price range (~$1400). Why am I not using this everyday? Trust me, I’m as confused as you are! lol. Hopefully he will teach me this week!
Wedding Dress Plan
Some of you have asked me whether I plan on continuing with my wedding dress plan/healthy swaps once the wedding dress photo shoot is over to maintain my weight loss. My answer is: I don’t think I will need to. Since I have started working out again after 7 weeks of being off exercise, I believe that I will be burning enough calories so that I won’t have to continue to make many modifications. The biggest modification I have made is cutting out unnecessary snacks at night- that was the straw that broke the camel’s back! Now that I have gotten rid of this habit, I believe that along with exercise is all I will need to stay on top of. The healthy diet swaps were just a way to ‘kick start’ the wedding dress plan seeing as I only had 2 weeks. I am 4 days away!
At least I can zip the dress up now!
Oh She Glows Before and After
For those of you interested, Eric put together a before and after of the OSG design!

I think we did a good job of maintaining the concept of Oh She Glows, but making it fresh and cleaner looking. Perfect for SPRING, right? :D
Breakfast:
This morning’s green monster was a new mixture for me!
The contents:
- 2 organic kale leaves
- 1 handful baby organic spinach
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1 cup Almond Breeze in Unsweetened
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
- 1 Tbsp flax
I can’t say I have ever had pineapple + blueberries mixed together! It was pretty good and I think I will make it again.
I feel energized and ready to have a productive Tuesday!
I’m off to do some ‘test’ baking this morning! See you later for pics!
PS- I heart Windows Live Writer!!!!!

Love your blog. I’m really glad that your injury is healed.
Oh, I’d love to try the Wheat Bread and Cranberry Fresh Squares.
I would try the Multigrain bread (cuz I love anything multigrain – it’s a party in your mouth!) or Cranberry squares, cuz I love finding snacks I can take to work that are high in fibre AND so yummy looking. And I love cranberries.
Hi, I live in ontario as well…the weather is gloomy here as well in the North, freezing rain and snow to come! I would love to try their new bread, I need a more filling bread, the plain whole wheat is not cutting it!
I’d have to say the Dempsters multi-grain bread…love the whole grains …oh and the new site! Thanks, Angela!
Yay for a Canadian give away!! You know whats funny…I always go to type .ca after ohsheglows because I’m thinking that you’re a Canadian blogger!!
I’m in Thunder Bay…supposed to be getting 40cm of snow tonight…hope it doesn’t make it your way!!!
Looks like I’m about 20 minutes away from 7… too late yet? Haha I hope not!
I’ve had my eye on those Healthy Way Squares recently, especially the apple cinnamon… yum!
My favorite smoothie happens to contain blueberry and pineapple, it is the blue sunset from Pure Food and Wine. I love it because it is gorgeous,
Basically, it is
pineapple, banana, mango, nutmilk, agave, vanilla and sea salt blended, pour half into a glass, add blueberries to the remaining mixture and then pour the blue smoothie over the yellow smoothie for a sunset effect.
AGHHH different time zone = me being late!! The Apple Squares look GRREAT
