Last night we ended up seeing Up In The Air.
[source]
This movie was superb!!
It far exceeded our expectations. Up In The Air was rated awesome too- 8.3/10 on IMDB and 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. Personally I would rate it 9/10 and I am a very tough movie critic!
Clooney was as handsome and charming as ever. I have a HUGE crush, not going to lie. I think this was my favourite movie that he has been in! I’m not going to say much about the movie itself because I don’t want to spoil it, but you really should go see this movie! It is so thought provoking with an inspiring message at the end. :)

This morning I had another kick bootay workout at Nubody’s!
- 20 mins stepper (level 15)
- 15 mins elliptical (incline 10, resistance 10)
- 5 mins rower (awesome workout for the arms!)
- 15 mins treadmill (10 mins @ incline 15%, speed 4-4.2, then 5 min cool down)
- Core work (crunches on stability ball)
Whittle My Middle
I have been keeping up with my core work each day, doing about 2 minutes of planks and other core work.
I decided that I am going to do Whittle My Middle AGAIN for the month of January! I was so pleased with the results, I want to do another complete month of it.
Anyone want to join in on Whittle My Middle II? It will begin JAN 1st so bring your A game!!!!! :D

I came home, showered up, and got ready for the day.
I tried these Alba samples. I can’t comment on the shampoo because I only used it once and didn’t really get a sense for it. It seemed ok though. I also forgot to use the body lotion this trip.
However, I LOVED the Alba shaving cream (shown right)!!!
This shave cream was thick and luxurious like a buttery conditioner. It wasn’t foamy at all and I loved that. It left my legs very smooth and it was quite moisturizing.
Blow drying my mop is my least favourite thing in the world. I always tell Eric how lucky he is that he doesn’t have to blow dry long hair. Men have it easy!
Fueled up for the flight home today!
For lunch, I had a delicious whole wheat pita with veggie turkey, tomatoes, guacamole, hummus, pepper, and romaine lettuce. Delish! I haven’t had the veggie turkey in ages and I can’t say I really missed it too much. It just tastes very processed to me now.
I also had a huge salad drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette:
And a yellow delicious apple…
Tea verte:
Now I have a huge food baby! ;)
My dad, Eric, and Colleen enjoyed his homemade Caesar salad:
Eric and I are pumped because we get to watch the Canada Junior hockey game while on the airplane today! :) Yay for airplane TV! We arrive in Hamilton around 6pm, pending the flight is on time. Can’t wait to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Time to finish packing…hopefully I am not over the weight limit on the way back!

Blow drying my hair is my least favorite thing to do to! We were on rotten tomatoes last night looking at the movies that were out and saw the score for Up In The Air. I really want to see it!!
Ang…curious about which hair products (gloss, mousse, hairspray) you can recommend? Your hair always seem to have such a healthy glow and polished style. Thanks, love the blog :)
There is a chance that the TVs won’t be on when you’re flying today, if your flight path happens to be over US airspace. This MAY have changed as of last night, but I know that for some insane security rule put in place by the FAA, TVs had to be off over the US (yesterday anyway).
Just thought I’d give you a heads up so you can prepare for it! I hope your flight is otherwise uneventful!
eeek I hope its on! :)
I’m in for Jan middle whittling!
I would love to whittle my middle with ya!
I saw Up In The Air on Christmas and really liked it! I am also in for the Jan challenge.
Ugh, I hate blow drying my hair too! It’s so boring and takes much too long for my liking.
I’m so IN for Whittle My Middle II!!! :)
Also, just wondering–what are your plans for New Year’s Eve, health-wise? My friends are planning on getting obliterated (for lack of a better word) and I’m not sure if I should. I don’t want to be a Debby Downer, but at the same time I know how bad it is for my body and I never feel great the next day. What are your thoughts–do you stick to a plan or just have fun, since it’s only one night a year?
Eric and I usually have fairly quiet NYE celebrations! We find that we are usually tired from all the Xmas traveling we don’t go too far or drink much. This year we might go to a pub and watch the hockey game with a few friends! I’m sure it will be fairly tame ;)
I’m so with you for Whittle My Middle 2 in January!!! :) I feel so much better and stronger when my core is strong!
1. Is that the girl from the Twilight movies?
2. I’m seriously thinking about doing Whittle My Middle.
3. I chopped off all of my hair just because I hated blow drying and straightening it every day.
im not sure I havent seen Twilight, but this actress was AMAZING in her role in this movie!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Lauren that’s the girl who plays Jessica in Twilight!
I really want to join!!! Same exercises!! I was sorry I didn’t do it the first time and this is the perfect chance :-)
I definitely want to do Whittle My Middle! I won’t be doing the exact plan that you have (no stability ball) but I got some awesome moves out of Self Magazine that I’m going to use!
That is the STRANGEST apple I have ever seen! It’s like an apple without any clothes on! Nudie apple! That’s got to be illegal somewhere…
I’ve been wanting to see that movie! So glad to hear its good!
My husband and I also saw Up In The Air last night and we loved it. I didn’t really have any expectations going in as I hadn’t seen many previews for the movie, but we were both very impressed- I’d definately recommend it!
I’m in for WMM II…I had actually already planned to do it for the month of January as I’m heading to Mexico in Feb and just want to up the bikini body status a bit!
Have a safe trip home :)
I adore that alba shavecream. it’s wonderful. and a tube goes a long way. oh, and i adore george clooney as well ;)
I’ve wanted to see this movie! I love me some Clooney. :) Plus, it looks wonderful.
Hi!
I am ready to Whittle My Middle — super excited.
Could you give us an alt. move for the stability ball exercises? I don’t have one (because I don’t have the space for it).
Thanks!
Lisa
I used to HATE blow drying my hair almost as much as I hated folding laundry (that’s a lot), until I bought a hot air dryer. It’s basically a blow dryer with the brush attached to it, and it makes life SO MUCH easier!
It also cut my drying time in 1/2. Here’s a Google search link to the one I have. I can’t remember if you allow links in your comments, so if the link doesn’t come through and you want it, just mail me. =) I have tried many, but this one is the best so far–it is 1500 watts (a lot of drying power), and uses Ionic technology (so it reduces frizz).

I’m in for WMM! Are you going to do the same exercises or try a new workout?
Hi!I love reading your blog daily.I was wondering if I could ask what you do for snacks when you go to the movies.Do you eat nothing or bring something?I always have such a hard time.Thanks!!
Last night I brought a dried fruit bar…it was perfect!
Yesss I want to participate in WMM part deux :D
Hair is the most annoying thing in the world lol. Blow drying, flat ironing, conditioning…ughh
