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!

Aww, you look so cute blow drying your hair! I got so sick of doing that that I just started showering only at night and letting it dry before going to bed. Soooo much more time on my hands since that decision.
I’m totally on board with Whittle My Middle this time around. I watched it go by (so quickly!) last time, and remember thinking ‘if only I’d joined along’. So here I am! ALL IN!
Blow drying is sooo annoying!! If that weren’t a step, getting ready would be so much easier. Guys don’t know how good they have it! haha.
I want to do Whittle this time!!! That and yoga is going to be a New Years Resolution :)
I’m a new reader! Love the blog! I’m so in for WMM!
I’m in for WMM II! I really hate blow drying my hair, so I hardly ever do it. My hair is pin straight so it generally looks the same when it air dries and when it’s blow dried. The downside is that it can’t hold a curl to save its life. Sometimes I have to suck it up and blow dry it when it’s super cold out- so annoying!
I’m in for a second Whittle my middle challenge for January!! Very pleased with the results, dont want to loose this!! We should vary the exercices though. :)
Some idea : very good abs workout from Jilian Michaels.

I hate blow drying my hair – that is why I never do it :-) Maybe a few times a year!
Count me in for January’s Whittle My Middle! I didn’t get around to joining in December, and I think it sounds fun :)
My hair is insanely thick, so I definitely relate on the blow-drying being a pain, ugh it takes FOREVER!
Hey Angela– just catching up on your blog, post-holiday. Looks like you’ve had a great one!
I can’t wait to see Up in the Air!
I really want to see that movie but Hunni hates Clooney on principle and won’t see it with me. I’m trying to find a friend to go see it with me.
Sweet! I was wondering how that movie was. I guess, since you gave it a good review, I will have to go see it :) You are so right, I very much dislike blow drying my hair.
I’m happy to say I just finally started reading your blog! I’ve heard of it but this is my first time reading.
I would love to join Whittle My Middle!!
Also George? Love him!!!
I HATE blowdrying my hair too. Its even worse in the summer. Boys have it so easy!
Im glad you posted about the movie. My boyfriend really wants to see it, but I wasnt too sure. Now we can go, and he’ll think it was his idea!
Count me IN for the Whittle My Middle II Challenge! I need a good inspiration to start a new year!
Oh my. I seriously detest blowdrying my hair as well. My hair doesn’t even reach my shoulders, so I feel for ya!
I’m in for January Whittle My Middle!
I had to double take the picture with the fake turkey in it. It has been so long since you’ve posted anything processed like that. What a great accomplishment to get a double take over veg turkey slice. You are one wholesome eating little lady. Also, I might join your challenge but have to think about it. I don’t think I could hold planks for very long! Can we do any moves or just the ones from that video?
Oooh, now I really want to see this movie! Love GC ;-)
That lunch you had looks fabulous! And I agree, blow drying hair is the worst task of the day. Thankfully, since I got mine chopped, it doesn’t take as long, but man when it was long, my delts would start to burn from holding the brush/dryer up so long! haha
Hi! I totally want to join the Whittle My Middle Challenge for January! I cannot wait!!! Yippee! I was so bummed that I couldn’t do it last time cause I was so sick when it started! Also – I always use the Alba shaving cream – I LOVE it!
