Beaches - City of Kawartha Lakes - As of June 26, 2015

The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit provides weekly beach testing results for the City of Kawartha Lakes throughout the summer of 2015.

Testing is based on the most recent test results from the provincial lab in Peterborough for water samples taken from these beaches. The Health Unit advises local residents to note:

• Beaches marked as 'OPEN' are considered within the acceptable levels as set out in the Ontario government's Beach Management Protocol.
• Beaches marked 'POSTED" indicate bacterial levels in the water are higher than those considered acceptable as set out in the Ontario government's Beach Management  Protocol, making them unsafe for bathing.
• Beaches listed as 'Unavailable' indicate test results are not yet available. People are advised to call the Health Unit toll-free at 1-866-888-4577 or check back shortly for the most up-to-date results on these beaches.

Gym or the lack of & Life

I did not go back to the gym.

I was screwed for J's wedding, but I think my week long stay in Hong Kong (not getting proper meals and the heat) reduced some puffiness for the wedding photos, or at least I hope it did.

Now, G's wedding is coming up in August and then a gala in September.

Hubby's waist has also been growing since his trainer quit on him. He expends all his energy at work and volunteer work, then he becomes a panda at home. 

We both need to get back on the activity wagon.

GOAL

1. To maximize free time by tackling chores ahead of time.

2. To go to the gym or outdoor activity.

GAME PLAN

1. Maximize weekend time off - to prepare for the week.

2. Hike in the park. SUP in the lake.

Emotional Note:

- I feel worn out and torn by conflicts between family members.
