Big Day Downtown - The Video!

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was a Halifax blogger selected by the Downtown Halifax Business Commission in their "Big Day Downtown" campaign.  The rules were simple: here's a $100 prepaid Visa card and have fun downtown and "try something new" and blog about it.

Yes please!



 So since my buddy Lynn was also selected to participate again this year, we thought we could use the opportunity to have a fun day together.  For me it was the perfect way for me to spend one of my last days off before returning back to work full time while Cameron was in his first transition week at day care.

Once we started brain storming ideas of things to do, I quickly realized that this assignment was going to be an easy one for me because I never really get much opportunity to really go and enjoy downtown much at all and there was plenty that I had never experienced before.  I will let the video speak for itself and you can head on over to Lynn's blog for some more beautiful photos from our adventures :-)



(Don't you love where my face freezes frame? Hot I tell you)

Cheers!

Fabulous video, Angie! I had never heard either of your voices before and you actually sound exactly like I thought you would - haha. Usually people sound so shockingly different....

Love the new glasses, and looks like such a fun day.

Loved this!!

Girls! I so wish I was there with you! You both sound pretty much just like I thought. I need to make a video sometime! What editing stuff did you use? Could a pretty-much-non-techy girl figure it out?

I'm glad you had such a great day downtown!

Well we both made it to Turbine on our big days downtown! Great idea to board the Silva and see the city from the harbour. Perfect background music, too!

Dagne said...

Fun! You both look great by the way!!

Angie All The Way said...

Lynn: isn't it so fun to live in Halifax? Thanks for the fun day :-)

Ali: lol I know what you mean! I did do a few video posts before back when I was attending WW meetings, but it's been awhile!

Krissie: it was so incredibly easy to do this video using iMovie. I had zero experience putting together a video like this and I had never laid eyes on this program before and it was easy peasy! You SHOULD!

aldelory: I have to check out your post!

Dagne: xo

rusty: thanks doll! I felt honoured to have the opportunity!

Amy said...

Looks like such a fun day! I'm still planning my big day downtown adventure for this weekend.

You guys are both so cute! Loved the video!

Angie, your mouth is like Katie Holmes's mouth (hope that's not too weird to say).

kristina said...

Hey totally off topic...and sorry if it's too personal. Are you still BFing the little guy? The reason I ask is my son is almost 7 months and I'm considering weaning.

Thanks for your post on baby food, it was super helpful!

I am Ryan "Energizer" Ehmann, owner of Altitude Fitness and I’ve been out of shape several times in my life, so beat down – tens of thousands of dollars in debt, depressed and my self-esteem so crushed that I was afraid to go out in public. I turned to the fitness industry as the vehicle to heal my mind and body, and that’s when my dreams began to become a reality. The power of a proven fitness program is life changing so just imagine how much more you could give to your family, career and friends if you were on top of your game?



There is a champion in everyone…including YOU!



If you’ve ever wanted to lose that extra 12, 18, 24, 36 (or MORE!) inches of Body Fat off your frame and experience the benefits of a healthier lifestyle, then this message will cut to the chase and give you the answers you’re looking for. My fat loss training system have taken me 28,882 hours and 10 years of personal training to Master it so years ago I quit working at Gold's Gym as the Fitness Manager and opened a small, private workout facility to educate people about foods, fitness and lifestyle. Altitude fitness is a fun family atmosphere that people come as they are in grey sweets, white T-shirts, no make-up and they are accepted as a team member who want to learn and get in shape. No one is judged, it's not a fashion show and no matter your health or fitness shape you are a part of the Fat Loss Team working together.



I promise my "Fat Burning Zone" training program will get you to LOSE 12 inches in 12 workouts, Energize your mind, shrink body fat, sky rocket your confidence, increase your self image of yourself, improve the quality of your life and people will be saying, "WOW, you look AMAZING and have a GLOW of happiness! This will be the last fitness program you ever do...............Wooo Hoooo
