Kensington Market

Well here I am 7 days into my new eating routine, and I am down 5 pounds........ How ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Ihave tried every diet in the world, and it seems to me that AU Natural seems to be the most effective.

Tomorrow I am going to Kensington Market. My Friend Laurie used to live there, and I used ot like to go there to buy fresh sausages, and visit the bakery and cheese store. Now I like to go there to buy my vegetables, and fruit, and visit the health food stores.




Kensington Market is a distinctive multicultural neighbourhood in downtown Toronto, Ontario. The Market is one of the city's oldest and most famous neighbourhoods, and in November 2006, it became a National Historic Site. Its approximate borders are College St. on the North, Spadina Ave. on the East, Dundas St. W. to the South, and Bellevue Ave. to the West. Most of the neighbourhood's eclectic shops, cafes, and other attractions are located along Augusta Ave. and neighbouring Nassau St. and Kensington Ave. The market is best travelled on foot or bicycle, as the narrow one-way streets and numerous dead-ends are difficult to navigate by car.


I will also go and visit my frind Moses, who owns the store House of Moses, for all your Rastafarian Needs. He always has good music and an interesting display outside of his store. He also sells lots of shea butter, incense and interesting items from Africa and the Carribean.



I will go and buy my organic sugar. I am enjoying feeling lighter, sleeping longer, and an overall sense of eating healthier. Now if I can jsut break my other vice I will live a long and healthy life ( I hope )

Back to the RED ROCKET




I thought I better write a post, since I am returning to my full-time employment tomorrow, after 20 months of modified duties, and breaking my foot, and being off completely....... YES, it is truly back to the grind.


I could think of a million things to complain about working for the TTC, but tonight I will think of what I have to be grateful for in terms of my employment:


1. Grateful that this job has afforded me the opportunity to buy my home, travel and provide properly for my kids.


2. Grateful that my employer has found a new position for me that will be better for me physically and mentally.


3. Grateful that I can travel for free and save on gas.


4. Grateful for the great people that I know there.


5. Grateful that I will have the means to save money and pay my house off quickly.


6. Grateful that I have lots of vacation time.


7. Grateful that my daughter will have her braces.


8. Grateful that I will be able to continue my education.


9. Grateful that I will be able to learn a new job.


10. LASTLY Grateful that I have a crock pot and have the Internet so I can find crockpot recipes.


Well ~~~ off to bed I go........ Up at 4: 45 will take some getting used to! I have decided to take this opportunity to construct some routine into my life. No more laying in bed til 11 " planning my day"


At least not until I am 45............ YA~ Freedom 45 is just around the corner :)


Until next time....
