Becoming a healthier me.

October 28, 2009

2009-10-28T10:59:00.002+10:00

After 4 days of no workout ..After the girls went back to sleep this morning as soon as we got home from dropping the boys to school I finally did the Cardio DVD. Why can't my mood be like this everyday. I can say that I was bored with the new Facebook look..I dunno why and that somehow triggered me to stop wasting my time getting frustrated on the new homepage. Sounds dumb right that just a very subtle change can evoke such emotion. I need to start googling for inspirational sites. I think I just need variation. I think I just think to much that just the thought overwhelms my mind from initiating any movement.

Week one

2009-10-24T23:54:00.003+10:00

So I started exercising to dvds..The first 3 days I was motivated. After I felt all the aches and pains I took a days rest and going back to that motivated stage is a bit difficult. The dvds I've chosen to go with are advanced and even if they say you can go at your own pace I feel as though if I do that then I would never get around to exercising at all. This is the thing about me being home exercising doesn't not motivate as much as if I were to go to the gym. Here at home even if I a longer period of time to exercise I'm to distracted. My one year old daughter enjoys it more then I do most especially when I do the downward dog. She thinks mommy is a bridge and hurry's to get under. Today I was so lazy.. I did yoga for 20 minutes only.. I hope to make up for it this coming week.. Food wise. I'm trying my best to cut back on the rice to one cup. Don't think I can ever completely give up carbs. I don't want to deprive myself then when I'm all alone I might suddenly go wild and binge. I can slowly get into the groove of this fitness mentality again..I just know I can. I just need to find that balance..

Starting over again!

2009-10-01T00:06:00.002+10:00

Yes here I am again...The cycle begins. I need to do this I must. Not only to look good but for the future of my children. I want to be able to see my GREAT grand children. This year alot of things happen. Well in the past two years I haven't been to lax. I have been juggling having a baby and my mom. Well, mom now is in P.I. and my other siblings and in-laws have are taking care of her and keeping her company now. Mom would have been ok if she didn't have a mild stroke last year November. She can walk but very slowly. In 2007 Auntie Francis passed away. She's mom's close friend. It was a complication of Diabetes and Dialysis. This year my good friend past also this Sept. 15, 2009. Roy, Auntie Francis' son, 32 years old, was taken by pneumonia. He started dialysis around December last year according to Uncle Clenton. They are both in a better place. I need to take care of myself that way when I get older I can be active and well to be around family and friends. It helps to be Healthy. Eating is good and brings everyone together but exercise must be incorporated. So here I am today. Trying to get fit. Another thing that triggered me to start was the 2007 reunion pics..I look pretty good that night I must say. Well, compared to now. I'm like some 20-25lbs heavier now. That's the size of child..LOL! I know I can do this as long as I blog about it everyday.
I also went googled any patron saints for weightloss. Oh St.Raphael,St. Luke and St.Motcha help me achieve my goals.

15 days later

2009-04-15T06:18:00.002+10:00

Hmmm...I'm 5 pounds lighter..Stopped walking for holy week..Pigged out on Easter. What more can I say..Wish I could just melt it off easily. No Pain no gain people say.. Time time..Hope I can do it this year..Sticking to the plan is tricky. Blog entry ,short but simple. Sigh gotta go wake up the kids to prepare for school now..Maybe I'll wait till May 1 to blog again for any changes.

Easter Break

2009-04-04T21:40:00.000+10:00

Today is day 4. Freak man I gave into some chocolate cake that has been in the fridge for 4 days. My 3 and a half daughter gave me her leftovers and I couldn't resist ..Freak. Anyhow..I've been walking in the afternoons. Just today though I feel the pain..I walked more this afternoon and I feel a bit feverish..Tomorrows Sunday..I don't know what I plan to do. Oh my achy muscles....

Reactivate...

2009-04-01T22:51:00.002+10:00

So my youngest Daughter turned 1 yesterday and I know I have to fill my quest to lose weight and stay that way..I'm on a mission now that I know that I am not having any more babies..I have to do this because I am tired of the "are you expecting another?" questions..Yeah I know I just had a baby but when baby is not around I don't blame people for thinking that. Yeah I do look like I'm in my 2nd trimester or something. So this is my quest.. Before I quit the last time I was down to 175. That was the before all the holidays and Birthdays..Now I'm back to 185...:P Boohoo..I need to be healthy for me and my children. I want to be able to still be around for my grand kids and maybe great grand. I don't want them to worry about me when I get older. I want to be an Independent Senior Citizen who drives around town taking advantage of Senior Citizen discounts. I say this because I've notice the chain reaction. My mom was in a close case and I don't want to have to put my kids through the fear of what ifs. Yeah heart disease or any old age disease is bound to happen to everyone as they age but I'm sure exercising and eating well can delay or even maybe prevent it. So there..This is the reason why I want to bring my weight down. In the end it's for me and my kids. Today I went walking again...1.5 miles..It's a start.

Day 15!!!

2008-10-05T23:03:00.002+10:00

You know what...I think I'm gonna have to move my starting date again..Crap!!! I walked three days and then the weather goes rainy on me.. THen my hopes are up again. Last Friday..I went to the Local Mom and Pops store. Well it used to be called the Mom and Pops store but renamed with the change of ownership. I caught the new owner running in place as I was going to pay for my stuff. I guess he thought he was the only one left there. Well, he later tells me his weightloss story. Forget about going to the gym or walking outside he says. When u join a gym u get lazy or if u walk outside the weather is rainy or it's to hot. This better just jog in place for 30 minutes. He also shares with me that from a size 41 goes down to a size 30. That's what he does jog 30 minutes and Golf 5 days a week. Good gosh I bet he feels very motivated to workout everyday every time some one buys a spam or cornbeef. I remember working at KFC and after a couple of months got tired of the Smell of Extra Crispy. Which reminds me that we had lunch there sometime last week. I was trying to make wise choices and was going to order a garden salad and rotisserie chicken. I was shocked to learn they discontinued both for the momoment..So yes I gave in..I ate EXTRA Crispy. I guess right now is not the time for me lose this weight. I must not give up and lose hope.

Day2

2008-09-22T11:29:00.004+10:00

I did a vlog. I don't know if you could understand what I was saying.Just watch the video and see..

Taking the trail back and forth is supposedly 1.5 miles. I did it twice which would equal 3miles. Tommorrow I'm planning to just go by myself since daddyo's off.

1st home workout- DAY 1

2008-09-21T22:15:00.003+10:00

I guess it's better then sitting in this chair all day long playing Myspace application games. Goodness I had to hit the pause button many times because baby girl would wake up. I would put her in her walker so she could watch. Then the rest of my kids and my one niece would come in the Living room and attempt to do it along with me. I don't mind that they want to get fit. It's just that our living room is tiny. I did the Cardio disk today. Its bundled with stretching, yoga and kenpo. I recorded myself on Daddyo's cellphone doing a segment of it. My form is horrible. There is this thing called the Wacky Jack. I feel like a clown or king's joker when I do it. Oh Well, I took Pictures today also so I compare with the end day result at day 90. I hope I can build up to do at least 10 regular pushups..Doing one right now is tough. I'm thinking about recording myself everyday to see if I improve my form. I'll see how that goes.

Tomorrow I think I'll start walking..I hope it doesn't rain.

OH MY GOSH

2008-09-20T23:54:00.004+10:00

I haven't been to gym since that last post. It feels longer then that..Let's just say it's been a rough year with the financial side of our life. Well, I watch the season premiere of the Biggest Loser. I feel so motivated again. Daddyo's friend also gave him DVD's which was part of the Px90 system so I feel that maybe I should also give it a try. I just know that I will get interrupted many times since I will be exercising at home. I'm also thinking about walking this trail that I see other people use. I'm thinking about starting that soon when the weather is cooperative and not so rainy. I've been getting hooked on Myspace application games. I seriously need to stop because I constantly find myself trying to log on to Myspace every chance I get. I'm missing out on life. I think it's better I play or at least read to my kids. I thinks its bad because I've added people that aren't even my friends just for the sake of having my application friends and more fake money. Oh Well, I need to focus again...FOCUS..I need to go check out this link that my friend gave me. I'll blog more about that later.

August 14, 2008

2008-08-14T23:50:00.002+10:00

45 mins. Elliptical 516 calories
chest, back and arms

Tomorrow's another Friday. I Ate a lot of Fried food Yesterday while watching Alvin and the Chipmunks with the Family..I'm scared. Oh Well, If I gain it's nobody but my fault I could help myself from them breaded mozzarella sticks. I need to also just up my water intake ,too. I also ate some French Fries that were a bit on the salty side..

short and simple

2008-08-13T22:28:00.002+10:00

went to the gym Monday , August 10,
elliptical for 50 mins
abs and Legs

1 month later

2008-08-04T20:02:00.002+10:00

Yes after a month of inactivity @ the Gym I finally went in today. I was not prepared for the out come of my weigh in because I expected to weigh 180 still. To my surprise I weighed in at 177. I took of my shoes and weighed 175. Despite the lack of exercise I managed to still drop 5 pounds. Yey for breastfeeding..I don't know why I didn't just watch what I ate with my other 3 kids. All I remember was that postpartum I ate like I was still preggy till the baby turned 1 year old. Guess I was afraid I was depriving my kids..Or they would turn out skinny. Well, this time around even if I didn't add the extra 300-500 calories baby Rihanna is still chunky. My membership ends in December. I am hopeful that I can drop down to prepregnancy weight or lower.

@#$% 2 weeks no gym

2008-07-18T13:27:00.002+10:00

grrr!!! I have gone 2 weeks without the gym. I so much miss it. Dang and I even missed a payment hope the accounting department doesn't call. I've been sick with fever and sore throat and might have passed it to my baby because she was also cranky the whole time. Today finally everything has been back to normal.. the floors are clean,dishes washed and I'm doing laundry as I type. I felt like total crap this week and glad its almost over. As for the gym I almost wanna say fck it. I don't have an excuse though because I don't work and I don't go to school. Lets just say gas is expensive and we could save more.. I'm a fck up.

back to the daily grind

2008-07-01T01:38:00.002+10:00

So the christening/birthday party was all finished on the 21st. It seems I haven't really recovered as baby girl is going on a new schedule also. I haven't hit the gym regularly. I went twice though. I went on tuesday the 24th. Despite the lack of workouts I dropped down to 182. The following day I went in the afternoon and manage to go to the Hip Boxing class which was a blast but difficult to start again. Thursday morning my whole body was so sore. Hopefully going to the gym tommorrow because it's daddyo's day off. Sometimes I don't make it because the baby doesn't seem to be in my favor or he is to lazy/ sleepy to watch her all solo shift. The christening is all finished and gosh I'm glad. It turned out well even better then what we expected.

Planning a party

2008-06-06T18:32:00.002+10:00

A week has past quickly. I have only hit the gym once since my last entry. Today I didn't even go because we had to run some errands. My mind is preoccupied with the planning of a party celebrating the christening, and 2 birthdays. I wish my car is fixed. We chose to have our child baptized first then fix my old used 1994 Camry. I'm anxious again and can not concentrate on a healthy active lifestyle. My portion control these days have been wack also. Oh Well, I'll see what happens.

may 23- may 30

2008-05-30T14:45:00.003+10:00

I went to the gym on friday..Didn't lose anything..which in all honesty left me bummed.

Saturday went out to celebrate a good friends birthday. It was my first time out in over 6 months. Out with no kids to worry about or anything. As in an adults only. I enjoyed the evening and almost didn't want to go home.

Sunday morning the kiddos were up early asking to go to the beach because I mentioned to daddyo that we should go the beach since Monday was memorial day. We went..Everyone had fun..Later that evening we went to birthday celebrants house to bbq and karaoke since that was her real day.

Monday morning was feeling out of the blue with a sore throat and couldn't really talk.
So i chose not to work out.

Tuesday and Wednesday Daddyo worked mornings so I stayed home again.

Thursday came rolling in yes Daddyo was working evening. I was to tired to go work out because baby girl woke up in the very early morning hours. I chose to just sleep in.

Today I almost again tried to come up with an excuse to not go. Daddyo persuaded me. I was reluctant to go because I was afraid to see the digits on the scale go up. Well, I was wrong ..I dropped a pound even though I missed a full week. I was then motivated to work out.

Well, thats all for now I have to do some cleaning and tidying..I also have some where to go tonight.

stepper

2008-05-22T21:24:00.002+10:00

I didn't workout yesterday because we had to bills.

Today I went on the elliptical for 35 minutes and worked off 375 calories. I then decided to go on the stairmaster stepper, whatever the technical name is for 25 minutes. I forgot to check the calories because I was to thirsty. I cheated and leaned on the hand railings. Oh well, I'm new and I'll get there some day.

Tomorrow is weigh-in day...I hope I lose a pound at least. This week has gone by really fast. Now that I have for kids my days just seem to zip by. I hope this excess baggage falls of with time.

19,20

2008-05-20T23:19:00.002+10:00

yesterday : 1:05 : 705 calories burned
today: 1:05: 658 calories burned

Yesterday I was energized to work knowing that I pigged out over the weekend. I ate some junk food( chips, icecream, and some other stuff). I even ate Instant wonton cups. I know that the sodium in there is a lot so what I did was use half a packet of seasoning that comes with it. The thing is I took2 cups emptied one to another so there would be lots of wontons and filled it water. Hehe bad bad me. I hoped I worked it off.

day offs

2008-05-17T15:55:00.002+10:00

I've decided that Saturdays and Sundays will be my workout days of rest. If I happen to miss workouts on the week days then I'll just have to a make up day. Hopefully my plan works. Summer is coming and I might over sleep a little since I know I don't need to get up and check if first born gets ready.

Weigh In #1

2008-05-16T22:44:00.002+10:00

Minus 2 pounds bringing me down to 190. Next week I hope I'm in the 80's. I guess I was super motivated today that in my hour and 5 minutes. I burned 660 calories and up the steps I took. I did the same routine as yesterday. I guess slowly and surely will do. The thing is why am I not sweating out buckets of sweat? Maybe my body is still adjusting.

Day 6

2008-05-15T18:19:00.002+10:00

One hour, 560 calories, Elliptical climber, weight loss intervals ranging from 2 to 8 in resistance. Tomorrow morning is my first weigh in. I hope I loss a pound. Crossing my fingers. Haven't done anything to control my food consumption. Hoping Breastfeeding and exercise would do the trick.

12,13,14

2008-05-14T21:46:00.002+10:00

Worked out on Monday for an hour and 5 minutes again. Burned 580 calories.
Yesterday had a massive headache and didn't workout.
Today i passed because daddyo said i was overworking my self to soon. my headaches might be due to lack of sleep which is typical having a child who is just 6 weeks old.

Calculator facts

2008-05-11T02:38:00.002+10:00

So I found this Calculator on GuamBodybuilding.com.
This is what it tells me with the stuff I imput. I should be sleeping now but I am so determined to bounce back that I can't wait to weigh less in lets say 4-6 months. If I can do it sooner then thats a bonus. I'm thinking it'll take me 6 months the least. I didn't factor in the breastfeeding . Oh Well I'm off to get my beauty sleep.

Another early day work out. Managed to stay on the eliptical for 1:o5. Burned of 500 something calories on the lowest setting it would let me. My Legs are so sore now though. Tomorrow is mothers day. I'll see if I work out or not. I feel so unfit but knowing that I'm getting in some exercise makes me so energized. Thats all for now. I have loads of laundry waiting for me.

I start today!

2008-05-09T10:12:00.000+10:00

The Doc gave me the okay to exercise on Monday. So I went to the Gym this morning after dropping of my son to school. It feels a bit ackward being there and seeing some of the regular gym rats there. I wonder if they noticed that I gained weight again. I went on the elliptical climber for an hour and 5 minutes on the lowest resistence level. I feel so out of shape. I can feel things on my body that bounce to and fro. I went there using a regular bra so I will now remember to use a sports bra for support. Oh Well, since I started today I will do weekly weigh-ins on FRIDAY. I weigh 192 today. YEs 192..At least I know I lost 8 pounds in a month from breastfeeding alone. I was 200 pounds imediately after birth. At full term 40 weeks I was a 223lbs. Not so bad.

I will be back!

2008-04-17T00:24:00.002+10:00

Yes I'll be back as soon as the Doc gives me the okay to exercise again.. Gain mucho pounds eating all kinds of junkie..at the same time watching The biggest Loser. Hehe.. new inspiration..ALI who started as a 20o pounder..now a sexy 122..my gosh. I think I just want to be a size 8 and I'll be happy with that. I'm back at a size 13/14. Mostly around the belly. So in a month or so will be my next update.

BUN in the oven!

2007-09-04T10:11:00.000+10:00

Gosh....I realize I haven't been here in such a long time. Might not be blogging here in a year or so maybe some time in June. A good 2 months after my due date...

palm reading

2007-07-29T14:23:00.001+10:00

What do these lines mean?

Have you ever googled down "Palm Reading" ? I have many times only to be disappointed that I have to read so much. Is it unique to have a head line that runs deep straight across your palms? Wait a minute all my major lines run deeply in my hands. I even have extra lines,too. Do your hands have those, too? Oh Well, I have to yet to meet a real palm reader then that will be the day I stop wondering about those lines. Do you have any comments about palmistry? Share them with me please. Take a picture I'd like to see how your hands look..Is that strange? I don't know. It's just me..

Independence Day!

2007-07-04T15:27:00.000+10:00

Yup! Todays the 4th of July but not planning anything because Daddy0 has to go to work.. The Reunion has past and boy did I have so much fun. I wish the night didn't have to end. I took tons of pics. There was food and all but I didn't really remember any food..Oh Well, It's back to regular life again.

I took new update pics but need to post them up later. I need to update everything on this site but. I need to also clean up and do more laundry..Sigh..Laundry is my worst enemy.

REUNION TOMORROW!

2007-06-30T02:32:00.000+10:00

Holly molly good gosh! That ticker up above is so wrong..Lots of things have been going on that I've completely forgotten to change it. I bought a new scale from Kmart lastnight. Sheesh it might be that the old scale was really broken for a long time. I might be heavier than I believed I was. Golly gee..I'll have to start all over again. But hey it never hurts to start from square one....hehe Tomorrow is THE BIG Dinner..Last week end I went to the Family Day Reunion. I slapped on lots of sunblock. I didn't want major sunburn.

I'm the one in front row wearing the hotpink tube. Notice how there were empty chairs on the side. It's not because alot of people didn't show up but because most of them were trying to hide themselves. I was one of them. Nah the heck with it..I just sucked in my gut and put my shoulders back. I don't really sit that way. I'm such a slouch.

21 more days to go

2007-06-05T01:04:00.000+10:00

Well, spank me people...I've been bad and haven't done what I said I was gonna do. I did well through the weekdays but once weekend hit..I let myself go. Grrrrrr! But this doesn't mean I quit. The working out is no problem.

Day5

2007-05-25T23:08:00.000+10:00

So today I did the usual stuffs...except today was different because I knew it was a close friends birthday and in the evening would be celebrating. So I chose to not each much during breakfast and lunch. Yes, because I knew that I would be having pinoy foods. I was also bringing a cheesecake. Yeah!!!!

I've been 160 for a couple of weeks so when I cheated and got on the scale I was so happy I dropped 4 pounds. I moved my weigh ins to monday though. Golly gee. Maybe tommorrow I'll workout. Tomorrow I still have a wedding to attend and I still have no clue what to wear. Sheesh..Maybe I can also go shopping after my workout...Yikes yup I really think so because I don't even have a gift either.

I have a friend who has shed 29lbs!!!!.and still shedding..I'm so happy for her and her new lifestyle..

I hope I can make better food choices tomorrow!!:-)

Only 4 days into this mini goal and already I skipped the daily stuff....I posted some stuff on my myspace blog that way I have to really stick to it. Here's what it says

Sigh.....For the past week I've been meaning to get back to blogging about my weightloss goals. I haven't reached the goals that I made last year. Somewhere
after new years and valentines I lost track and stopped...Well, for the past few days. I'm was so tempted to vent on here but stopped because well It's such an open topic. I think I need this though to get back on track and to get motivated enough to drop 10 more pounds. That's my mini goal and plus 10 year high school reunion is coming up(next month :-) ). Yeah horoscopes are so general and can be for anyone but what the hey it's a positive SIGN for me.

the begining of 2006

Hope I can stick to it this time.

Sheeeeeeshshhhhh..I really want this so bad. I really wish it was so easy to drop this last 10 pounds as easy as the first 10 that I melted off. It's not the same though.

Day 1

2007-05-21T23:52:00.000+10:00

Went by ok....Thing I have difficulty with is holding back on the little sneak snacks. Eating the kids leftoever snacks that they can finish. I have stop eating that. Drinking more water.. Haven't been doing good..I'm to lazyy....But I gotta do this..I did it last year..Who said I can't do it again? I need to get back on track.

High Shcool Reunion Next Month

2007-05-21T08:35:00.000+10:00

Oh Gosh! Where have I been the past days...I've been slacking off some since the last entry. Slacking off not just food wise but exercise also. I got sick with a cold sometime before mother's day. So I decided to skip the gym. I was so lazy. I read somewhere that exercise helps get rid of it but no way I don't think I even have energy to get ready and go. So there in that week I think I only exercised 2 times. On mother's day we went out to eat and I stuffed myself till I couldn't move..I had some CHEESECAKE! I ate it really slow and savored every bite. hehe...

Next week I have to go to a wedding and I don't know what to wear. Gosh..Next Month is the 10year class reunion and I'm kinda nervous. Sheesh, I don't know. Whatever! I'll just go there have Fun and make the best of it. Nevermind that I'm a college drop out or that I haven't accomplished much career wise. Enough of this.. I'm becoming pessimistic..

I'm back at 160.

I really need to update everything on here but I gotta finish some mommy stuff get ready and work out.

I'll try to get back to bloggin daily until the reunion...

2007-05-02T22:06:00.000+10:00

Boy have I been gone from blogger for awhile. I don't even feel like I was gone that long. I've been busy this month. Well, busy compared to the previous months since I started staying home from work. I feel I am bonding more to friends who in the past were just casual acquaintances. Well, this month was fun because I finally went out on a friday night with out my kiddos. It was a guilty pleasure. I had so much fun but at the same time worried how my kids were doing. I knew how naughty my kids can get. Turns out that they never acted up around their daddyo. Why haven't I gone out more? Well, maybe because most of my friends are off-island, working or busy with familia.

Moving on to fitness. I'm still working out but not as much as before. On my birthday week I've been eating out..I haven't been healthy food. I've been drinking soda again...arghhhhhh....Crap I feel bad for mentioning it but I have too. I'm scared I might be going back to my old ways again. So here I am venting it out to anyone who has time to read this. The good thing is I'm still maintaining weight. I even dropped down to a size 7. I fit into a size 7 Capri bottoms....
There I am getting my free tequilla shot for celebrating my birthday a week early.. I'm the taller one on the left folks. Heck if I had a better pic of me and my size 7s then I would have posted it but this is the only whole body pic that I have.

Almost a year!

2007-04-01T22:07:00.000+10:00

My gosh my ticker says my one year is fast approaching...Well, as usual I still weigh about the same as my last entry. I haven't been a scale ho anymore. I still fluctuate up and down 3-5 lbs but am hardly bothered by it. If I hit my 5lbs I just workout more vigorously and cut out some carbs for about 2 days then I'm back where I was. I haven't really been "dieting" anymore also. By that I mean once in a while I'd have a piece of chocolate or other treat.. Okay It's more then once in a while. I'm glad I don't eat the whole bag of chips/cookie/cereal anymore. Haha! Now there is more for everybody. Maybe I should get back on track and see if I get below 155 by April 7. I'll update my charts and progress pics around that time. Good Gosh my highschool class reunion will be in about 2 months. I'm kinda excited but at the same time nervous to go.

Hey fellow fat fighters! Just to let you know I'm still working on this fitness thing. I've been absent for what for awhile because I've been hooked on TFC's primetime schedule. My mom's back and I can't but help join in on watching tv at night. I usually used to do the online blogging/myspacing in the evenings when everyones asleep and the house is so silent I can hear myself think. Which is nice. . Is it natural for boys to play wrestling on the bed and end up really fighting in the end? Sheesh..

How am I doing? I've dropped that 3lbs. Can't seem to lose my last 5 still. I wonder if it will go away when I stop breastfeeding? Yeah, baby Diva is still breastfed but only during bedtime just to go to sleep. She'll be 2 years old in June. I hope she'll stop on her own soon. I honestly don't know how to wean her. She is the only exclusively breastfed child I've had. With the boys they were mixed fed so it was easy. I just switch gradually to bottle then when they were old enough we threw the bottle in the trash and said bye bye. How do you do that with boobies? I can't just disconnect my mammary's and throw them in the trash. Haha! I wish. Then I'll just go to Kmart and get me a brand new pair of perky cup C's. I could reasearch ways to wean but sometimes It's just easier to be on demand rather then follow by the book and just get myself all stressed out by a screaming Baby Diva. If I did what the book says I'd probably need botox in 2 years when I hit 30. Haha! So much for an update. This entry doesn't really cover much on being lean. I 'm being random because I have really nothing much to write about...tudals fellow fatfighters...Have a good weekend.

up 3lbs

2007-02-23T23:50:00.000+10:00

I guess I really need to get myself together because the scale is moving and the numbers ain't going down. I've been around 158lbs for a good solid 4 days so I doing think it's really water weight which I was praying it was.

Any how I recieved a gift from a good friend in the mail yesterday. She sent me a black sweater. I was so excited to get mail I had to use it today to do some errands. For lunch, we ate at the mall. I really wanted to get fettucine alfredo from Sbarro's but just settled for a Garden Salad with Balsamic Vinegar and Olive oil dressing. Darn I forgot to get the notebook for my foodlog.

Time Management

2007-02-22T00:09:00.000+10:00

I think I need to stick to a schedule..Or to a do daily to do list. My days go by so fast I have no Idea what I'm putting into my mouth. Then mother is no help. When I ever say oh no I've had enough to eat.

"It's okay your exercising anyway." ,she'll say.

Nope I don't think it's okay. Just cause I exercise does it mean I can overload on carbs or pastries or twix chocolate caramel bars. Well, I need to go back to the basics again..I NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER, WATCH MY PORTIONS,..

I think I'll get me a notebook so I can jot down my food because I find I have trouble memorizing things that happen more then 3hours away. If I go to fitday at the end of the day it might take me an hour to remember every
single thing I ate for the day.

I need some new energy!!!!!!

Grrr....

2007-02-19T02:18:00.000+10:00

Feels like I'm letting myself down by not blogging...It feels like my freaking 5lbs is taking forever..Lots of things been going on because practically everyone in my family is recovering from being sick. And lots of other excuses..Grr..But I think I've been really sidetracked and stopped paying attention to my food choices. I've still maintained my losses which is a good thing considering I had some(<--understatement) chocolate candy on Valentine's day. I really wish I could blog about some good news.

I wish they had one of these here in Guam.

poppin' and lockin'

2007-01-26T21:55:00.000+10:00

This video is a couple months. It makes me want to learn to pop and lock.

9 months 2 weeks and 2 days

2007-01-26T21:16:00.000+10:00

On monday I'll be going Job hunting. So I hope I can maintain my goals of becoming a fit healthy person.

Meanwhile in the gym, I've been doing 45 mins to an hour cardio. 35 mins on the elliptical 25 min on the stair master. On the elliptical I'm doing the crosstraining pattern with resistance set to 6-10. On the stair master I've been on rolling hills set at level 1-4. I used to set the stairmaster level on high but cheated and lean on the handle bars. With the lower levels I'm actually able to finish with minimal support.

Oh Well, that's all for now. Have a good weekend.

size 9

2007-01-17T22:17:00.000+10:00

Okay I haven't dropped to goal weight yet. I'm just happy to say that I did manage to fit into smaller size jeans with out muffin top 2 days ago. Yipee! At this point I'm really happy. To think I wasn't going anywhere but I guess I'm actually getting smaller even if the scale isn't moving. I wanted to get those jeans but change my mind. Maybe I'll fit into much smaller ones in a couple of months. The jeans I got in October are already loose.I'll save the shopping spree for whichever comes first my goal weight or a size 7. I'm also going to start eating more yogurt and dairy products. The lack of calcium in my daily grub might be the culprit of this plateau. Then again it could be because of the weight training.

Did I ever mention I upgraded my gym memember ship so I can utilize the kiddie daycare services they have? Maybe not. Well, I did. Daddyo and I have been going together. Since he's there I've had new found courage to go with him to the free weights area. I tell you even with him there to help me with my form and everything it feels ackward.

Moving on to the waist trimming belt. I use it while I'm doing a my cardio. I don't know if it really works but I'll just believe it does so the bellypouch can magically melt away every day.

Wazzup!

2007-01-11T00:17:00.000+10:00

Just wanted to drop by and leave my presence. I'm still here doing weightloss thing just not jotting things done. Feel I need to because I've just been gaining and shedding the same 5lbs and not moving past it. Sheesh I need to breakthrough this rut..I'm going to find a way. I'm almost tempted to try those magic diet pills but nope not just yet. During the holiday shopping season I bought a waist trimming belt. Wonder if it'll work..Today is my first day of using it. Wonder if I'll feel any changes in a week? Oh Well, thats all for now.

2 thousand words

2006-12-06T23:55:00.000+10:00

When I decided to make a change

present

"A picture tells a thousand words".

I needed some motivation to blog..So I searched for some pictures looking for my heaviest moments. Couldn't find many. I guess I avoided the cameras. And if I did have any pictures I was grumpy looking .

So it's a thursday and I'm still here. So far this week went to the gym consistently. I told myself I was going to try a new routine.. Turns out I didn't still did the same stuff. The gym has gotten members coming because the competition has decided to close down. Lost of new faces. The Gym is also undergoing a little makeover.Because of this the gym will be closed for three days They started moving some of the machines today. So after the 8:ooam cardio rush people started leaving. Tomorrow since the gym is closed and there is no classes because of a local holiday we might go to the beach. It's been several months since we went. I guess that's Guam life. There are only two seasons rainy and sunny..Haha! I have yet to feel , touch, see and taste snow. The closest to snow I've ever experience is the inside of the freezer.

In a rut

2006-12-02T00:15:00.000+10:00

I think I may have hit my plateau..Or is it the last 5-10lbs is hard to lose. Oh Well, I'm planning for next week to just do all cardio. No circuit training for a week. Maybe my body is just used to the stuff I've been doing. The 5lbs from thanksgiving is just water weight..Slowly went down after 1 week. It was a long ass week though.. I was frustrated most of that time. Haven't been following up on food intake. Been eating a lot of bad bad foods...boo hoo... boo hoo...I'm hoping I can get past this feeling. Thinking about buying me new shoes maybe that will help my motivation. I need good shoes so I can jog. I've only jogged twice since starting this weightloss journey. Once was in the park the other was not to long ago in the gym. Jogging in the park feels way different then in the gym. My feet(probably because I'm flat footed) hurt when I use the treadmill..What kind of shoes should I get?

Thanksgivings!

2006-11-25T22:16:00.000+10:00

Arghhhhh been absent for awhile again....Gained almost 5lbs..Slacked off on eating and exercise..Planning to get back on the right path on MONDAY...I really have to because if I don't Christmas is right around the corner..Don't want to gain another 5.....Sheesh!!!

minor relationship stuff ! =( I'm back now.

2006-11-14T23:39:00.000+10:00

I've been having some stuff going on my life besides weightloss. Been absent for awhile. I had more things on my mind. Just stuff with me and Daddyo. I've just been suspcious and doubtful blah blah..Anyways, Enough about that I'm back. I still maintained exercising. If anything my problems made me want to exercise more. Exercise is also a good time to think deep thoughts. Anyhow that ticker above says five more to go. Still getting used to it though. Finally got me an IPOD..oh and a new hair cut.

Oh Goodness Halloween's Over

2006-11-01T21:25:00.000+10:00

Yes!! and I had my share of treats...Lots of it too. In the morning we went to First Born's school because all the kid's were having a costume parade. We went home and later in the afternoon went to the Gym to workout. I usually start with the stepmaster. I lowered the level mode to make it easier so I wouldn't hold on the hand rails. It was ok but I didn't sweat that much. So even if I had the proper form on that machine I felt as though I wasn't burning as many calories. I like being more sweaty because it feels like I'm working real hard.. Do I make any sense? So after the gym.. I picked up First born from school. Later in the evening we went to Guam Premiem Outlets so the kids can do their trick or treating. We decided that we weren't going to the Micronesia Mall this year because there was just to much people there. It would be diffcult moving around. G.P.O. is a good safe place to do trick or treating if you just want to make sure the kids are safe. It's not so stressful. We had dinner after at Shirley's Restaurant. The food there is just so good. The serving sizes thre were gigantic. I haven't eaten that much food in one sitting for a long time. After my tummy was so full I thought I had instantly eaten 5 lbs worth of food. I weighed myself when I got home. Stomach probably shrank because now at my fullest I only gained 3lbs..hehe..so unlike my panic at the buffet episode.. It's okay it was well worth it. Today I don't think I did any better food wise because I did steal some candy from the kids..hehehehe.

Halloween 2005 vs 2006

156-7ish

2006-10-28T02:58:00.000+10:00

Yeah, Oh huh- That's how much I weighed yesterday..Gosh darn it. Went to my brother-in-law's house. My sis-in-law gave me suggestion about holding/ sucking in my stomach and to control my breathing..Sigh..Daddyo mentioned that to me a long time ago. I've tried that several times before really because I have such poor poor posture..Honestly speaking though I think I should see a chiropractor. I think I need my spine aligned or something..Or maybe if I lose more weight It could miraculously correct it self. Oh Well, maybe I should check out that health arc Born Squishy
wrote about. I'm still awake at 3am because we had lots of coffee. I have so many maybe's. I'd like to see professionals but financially I can't just do it right now. While having chatted with them they mentioned to me how they never realized that I reach my heaviest weight in the 2 hundreds. They thought I looked fine at that weight and why I was so concerned with losing weight. I have so many reasons why I wasn't happy with my weight. I think that was the number one reason. I was so unhappy about my body. I have so many issues. I felt so unsecure. I was tired easily. I was very lazy. I think my sex drive even decreased. Yes I said it out here..Fact is I couldn't keep up with Daddyo..For Daddyo in the 9 years we've been together he has only gotten healthier and leaner. Plus he weighs less..It was depressing to know that I LET MYSELF GO....It wasn't easy going shopping to buy clothes. I had a hard time looking at myself in the changing room...Those changing rooms with VERY bright lights where every little detail of the body is so visibly magnified by 50 percent. Ofcourse, I know my hip to waist ratio was a big health concern in itself. Most especially when I have a family history of heart disease and high blood. I was even tired and stressed easily just by my 3 kiddos...

But now that I've reached this part. I am so Happy. I feel lighter and can move around easily. My thighs no longer chaff and develop blistering. Some of my strech marks even seem a little lighter...Most of all I'm not so moody and always down in the dumps because I love myself. I want to live longer and enjoy to the fullest.

Hard Core

2006-10-26T23:19:00.000+10:00

Found me this site-> Hard Core- Exercises to Strengthen Your Abs for Better Performance. I guess if I want 6 packs I'm going to have to lower my body fat percentage some more. That I don't even know. I haven't even got around to buying fat calipers that someone suggested long time ago. I think I might have to lower my goal weight to achieve a nice 6 pack..hehe..Look at me dream. It ain't so bad. I love that I'm having more energy. I used to hate working out in the morning. I'm getting used to it and I have more sunshine in the day( even if literally its raining dogs outside). Maybe I'll learn to love doing abdominal exercises like how a fat kid loves cake. It is possible. I know it is.

blank

2006-10-25T22:18:00.000+10:00

<--Halloween 2001(No Idea how much I weighed there)

Okay so I'm very blank right now. I just came from the *Fat Fighters Blog* . I'm not sure. I wonder if it has anything to do with the holidays coming up? Probably not. Over the week end we brought the kiddos thier costumes. 1st born will be a ninja turtle. 2nd born is spiderman and Baby Diva will be a fairy princess. I'm so so excited. I wish I could put on a scary out fit myself but don't really want to unless daddyo dresses up, too.

Back to the weightloss front..I'm hoping to at least make it to the gym 3 times a week. If possible more. Since I been at a steady at 160 for quite sometime I changed the way I was shopping..swithed reduced fat mayo for my sandwiches and got some sugar substitute (nutrisweet) for my coffee. You know what I'm not really a fan of the fat/low/reduced fat kind of foods. I feel deprived of flavor. Since I really want to make my goal..It which really was soppose to be by next week exactly on halloween. I have to extend it. So I'm giving my self until the end of the year which will be really hard because of the festive eating.. Oh Well, I'm crossing my fingers..

I can Jog now.

2006-10-19T22:13:00.000+10:00

On Monday Daddyo had his day off. The Sun has finally shined so bright after what seems like weeks and weeks of rain here. He wanted to go play basketball. So I skipped my usual Gym thing and decided to just walk around the park. He played ball first while I stayed with the kids on the bench. Half way into the game I started walking on th usual path( which I have marked in green) pushing baby diva in the stroller. The boys were still on the bench watching thier dad play. I lost track of how many laps I did. All I remember was counting to three then for some reason after that I started thinking about stuff, looking around, checking out from the distance if the boys were okay everytime I passed. Daddyo was all sweaty after a couple of games he asked someone to sub him. I left the baby with him. They went to the slides to play. I left miss diva with him because I wanted to try to see if I can jog. I attempted to do so but the stroller we were using was a light weight umbrella we bought from the Big K. To my delight I completed 2 laps (in the of the area marked in red) with out pausing...Oh man I never knew that I would be able to jog. I have very flat feet and in the past everytime I try to jog my feet always are the first to give. Not because I was winded out or anything. So even when I was a teenager and less heavy I didn't jog so well on the 1 mile fitness run in PE. Yipee for me. Oh well, I have yet to try it in the gym.

As for the weight I'm still steady. Maybe I'll break out the measuring tape to see if there were any inches lost. That's all for now.

160

2006-10-14T01:03:00.000+10:00

Been missing in Action from the blogging scene for awhile. Right now I'm still maintaining at 160lbs. I'm comfortable with the weight and the way my body looks and feels right now. I ocassionally can have a cookie or some delightful treat and I haven't panicked so much since that buffet awhile back. On most days if I've eaten a little more then what I know I'm used to I just up the exercise or just try to keep busy. Sitting 4 hours at the computer is one of them. Yes, I've been trying to avoid the computer. It's been rainy on guam the last 2 weeks so I've just been busy with the Kids and other mommy things like that. For you working moms out there I give you Gals some mad props. I can not imagine the stress you gals go through on a daily basis. More props to the moms who live in the busy city. I don't know how I can handle the hussle and bussel of city life.

Ok since I've spent time away from the computer I've been able to watch some TV..Hehe which really is no different then sitting at the computer...Haha..=D

Dancing with the stars- makes me want to take up dancing classes
Celebrity Fit Club 4-is over but happen to catch the marathon and watch some parts and the last episode..I feel like getting that smashthefat book.
Flava of Love-not sure if thats actually the title..I only like that show because of the crazy girl drama.
Ugly Betty- I watched the first 2 episodes and am hooked
Grey's Anatomy- Loved that episode where meredith was stoned with morphine..Wish I could watch the first season or episodes to find out what happen to the other doctor who resigned.
E!-so entertaining.
the Duel- I watched the first episode and think this season is going to be fun to watch. Diem took off her wig and I think she should just go without it. She's sexy and her hair was already growing back.

Upped the Cardio today

2006-10-02T11:53:00.000+10:00

I bumped my cardio to 1 hour today to makeup for my excess eats that I had over the weekend. I ate a lot of steamed white rice. Let's just say more then recommended serving size. I also worked out on the circuit training weight machines targeting uppers.

On a side note..I've been thinking alot about my life on Guam considering I was born and raised here. I haven't enjoyed it to it's full extent.

Here are things I'd like do someday

scubadiving
snorkeling
parasailing
jetskiing
go on a submarine tour
boonie stomping/hiking
see the talofo falls(done this but to young to remember)
go to cocos Island(same as above)

learn taekwando or some other martial art

The last one totally has nothing to do with the Island life. I was just fascinated by it. When first born was 1 I said I'd wait until he was old enough and enroll both of us in to the classes. If only I had known at that time that I was going to have 2 additional children.

Still here...

2006-09-29T12:37:00.000+10:00

Oh my it's almost becoming a habbit of only updating once a week. Which I think kinda sucks. Yesterday I weighed in at almost 160. I think I might be more 161ish though. It's a bit hard to tell as I don't have a digital scale. It's all good. I'm getting closer to my goal. This week I exercised 3 days(MWF). Depending if I can wake up early tomorrow I'll hit the gym. So where was I? I've been busy using my blog time as Playstation2 game playing time. I guess I'm still just a kid at heart...I don't have much to say...I think I'll just catch up on what all the other Fatfighters progress and any tips and tricks they've been up to.

163

2006-09-21T19:05:00.000+10:00

I weighed in at 163 this morning surprisingly. I'm surprised because I haven't worked out a day since Saturday. I haven't even been eating healthy food. I've been eating Junk. Not in huge quantites but food I haven't eaten in a long time. I don't have much to blog about. I'm just to LAZY to work out. This is my rest week. I've been looking online for some clothes. I've never purchase clothes online partly because I'm scared that when they come in the mail I won't like them. Another thing is that I can be Obsessive Compulsive when I'm waiting for mail to come in. It would be great if the mail was delivered to my door. I've got to drive to the mailbox. I want to get new clothes because all my bottoms are looking so gigantic. It looks as though my a$$ has melted off and started jogging on it's own way to weightloss. Why can't my stomach join in and have a race. My stomach would probably be the last thing to go. I bet even if I reach my goal of 150 I'd still have a bubble belly. I'll just have to see. My body is not the same for prechildbearing days. Gosh, and I thought I didn't have anything to blog about.

Menses

2006-09-17T23:32:00.000+10:00

Good Golly Miss Molly! No wonder I felt odd..Woke up this morning to day 1 of cycle. Oh Well, I'm just to tired to do anything. I'm sort of bloated even. Darn menstral cycle out of wack since having baby Diva. It might be late because of the exercise.. Then I thought it was because of the breastfeeding but it couldn't be because she's eating more solids now..I had to research it. Here's a thread about breastfeeding and exercise. If I had known that exercise wouldn't affect breastfeeding I would have started a lot earlier. I really thought I was hurting my child but sabbotaging my milk production. I'm naughty..I do a lot of sopposedly bad stuff. Oh not really. Drinking soda and coffee is not bad if you compare it to smoking or alcohol consumption right? Where am I going with this blog? I have no idea. My fingers are doing the typing because the other half of my brain is falling asleep.

Oh aside from breastfeeding I also researched about skin. I'm kinda bothered by the extra skin everywhere. It isn't much but it's still there. So I found this article about loose skin after weight lost. I managed to read the whole thing. So thought it might be helpful...Sigh..I'm really sleepy goodnight folks..Don't let the bed bugs bite!

Yup Maybe I'm Crazy

2006-09-16T22:56:00.000+10:00

TC has left a new comment on your post "might be coming down with a cold.":

I have been thinking of getting up early to go to the gym too. Ain't we crazy?

I had a comment there somehow it didn't publish when I pressed the published. Good thing I had it emailed to me. It probably got deleted because I revised the entry. Didn't want daddyo to find this blog and ask me who I'm cheating on. So TC we might be crazy..LOL! I tried it rev myself up this morning . I went and all I did is 30 minutes..Better then nothing. Only I didn't do so well. I don't know if I'm developing a cold or what. I woke up with a sore throat. It kinda disappeared after I gargled with mouthwash. But during my exercise I felt some pressure in my head, eyes and nose.. It's sinus like...I don't know..All I know is that I'm not normal. I'm not really sick either.

might be coming down with a cold.

2006-09-12T12:56:00.000+10:00

Okay folks..It's about time I use this blog. I've been working out regularly since sunday. I like that daddyo's boss gave him night shift that way I head out to the gym as soon as I drop firstborn to school. Daddyo, 2nd born and Baby Diva sleep in.

My favorite machine is now the stairmaster. I get really sweaty in just 30 minutes. I burn almost the same calories as the eliptical. I don't know It just feels like I'm burning more then what the machine is telling me though.

I had a rest and (food)cheat day today...I think I over cheated today because I don't rememeber the things I nibbles on in the day. Since I've been back regular in the exercise..I've been to tired to blog at night and end up sleeping. Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up early...Yes, on a SATURDAY!!!! to go to the gym..Wow who would have that I could say those words. This is going to be my 2nd week if I make it successfully.

Folks I am a heavy sleeper. The snooze botton used to be my bestfriend. Still is actually. Here's how I wake up...To wake up at 6:30am on school days. I set the hubby's cellphone alarm on at 5AM. Which usually goes on after a couple minutes if I don't turn it off. Then I have our regular alarm set at 6Am which is set up 15 mins early just so I don't get behind. I'm such a heavier I don't trust myself at setting the alarm at exactly the time I'm soppose to get up because I know I'll just sleep through it and wake up at 8. I don't know if I'll get better at it when I get older. It seems as though I've been this way for the longest time. I've always relied on other people to just wake me up. Now that Mom is not here and Daddyo has night shift. I'm just always asking for 5 more minutes.. Speaking of 5 more minutes I'm going to bed...

Oh by the way 164lbs...not much of a loss but atleast I broke through...yawn..goodnight.

It's the weekend!

2006-09-10T01:18:00.000+10:00

I haven't exercised today. I have exercised the past 2 days. How did I do on the weigh-in? I pretty much just balanced out from my pigout session I had on the labor day weekend. This week though I'm hoping to lose 1 pound if possible 2. I'll take 1 pound. I realize that I forgot the word FITDAY in the previous entry. I was talking about the FITDAY site. I love that u can customize food but not exercise. Oh Well, that's pretty much all I have to blog on here. 9/11 is coming. Even if I was far from NewYork that affected my life, too. After that incident Guam's tourism dropped and I had to stop working until Christmas time. Guam's tourism dropped that some companies laid off a lot of people..

Blog Makeover!!!

2006-09-07T00:43:00.000+10:00

Hmmmm...got bored of my old layout...So I decided to play around with the new Blogger beta options...I have a thing for scrollbars..Sorry to those of you how happen to read this boring blog and don't like them.

I excecised today and watched my portions today..Pat on the back for that. I don't think I'll do good on the weigh in tomorrow. We'll see. I must maintain blogging no matter what. It helps so much..I think even though things get tough it's important. That way I'll keep thinking of all the foods I eat. I opened still browsing around it. I don't see why there is no customization for the activites. Their is food custiomization but none for exercise. Oh Well, I'm tired..I'm going to bed.

Labor Day

2006-09-05T18:09:00.000+10:00

Labor Day weekend has just past. Once again I've just been stubborn and daddyo mention to me those worlds that I hate to hear..

"I thought you were on a diet," he says..

Hehe really right now I didn't feel like sharing this on the internet with the world to see. I guess I'm just a yoyo..I'm now struggling with food again. Oh Man I am so dreading the holidays that are soon to come. I understand now why people usually choose to lose weight after new years day. That way all the holidays are gone with and so there will be less gatherings and eating events.

To make up for all the eating I've done over the weekend I'm trying to FORCE more exersise in this week. Today I upped my cardio to 1 hour. 30mins on the elliptical climber and 30 mins on the stairmaster. During that whole time I was able to watch some of MTV VMA's they rerun and watched Fergie open up the red carpet. That girl has nice abs. Heck if I had abs like that maybe I'll walk around Guam with my midriff exposed at all times...Hehe yeah right..someone pinch me..I'm dreaming.

I'm sweaty right now...

2006-08-31T19:02:00.000+10:00

Yes I just got home from the gym and I'm still sweaty..Daddyo just left. I'm doing a quickie blog before one of my kids hog the PC or bother me when I type. So that weight from sunday did disappear like magic. Thanks Belladora and Amazon Alanna for reminding me to just relax. I'm just one of those people. Those people that know what it is but still stress about it anyway. So now I'm 165ish again..If I ever break past this weight I'll be jumping for joy..Maybe I should really count calories/point thingamajigers now . I really don't want to though coz then I'm going to worry about all the numbers. Oh man that will drive me nuts. I bet I might even annoy daddyo with all the counting. Maybe I should just study the art of counting calories first. I learned my lesson though...I'll ask about a soup/salad special. I'll only have soup and salad next time...sigh..Maybe later tonight I'll take measurements to see If I dropped inches. Oh Well, Happy Thursday Everybody!

PaNIC! at the Buffet!

2006-08-29T20:32:00.000+10:00

Alright on Sunday I had dinner with some very good highschool freinds at Yuan San Restaurant.I had so much fun. Well,The Kiddos and daddyo stayed home. I'm glad though because if they came along I don't think I could have understood the conversations we had. Thing is it was great..The food was,too. Now I'm panicky..because since then I'm 5 pounds heavier..I know I still have to wait it out. I don't think I consumed that much calories, anyway. Put 5 pounds is 5 pounds. " The scales don't lie." When it comes to numbers I'm a little Obsessive Compulsive..That's the reason why I would not do good as an accountant. Being a regular cashier is stressful in itself. I'd be counting rolls of 50 cent pennies over and over and over again. Sigh...haha! Cream cheese cake...I had that..Oh Well, It's well worth the 5 pounds I'm stressing about right now. I'll just have to work in more ways to burn more calories in the days to come.

165isssshhhhyyy!Gym,park and spin cycle group

2006-08-24T11:58:00.000+10:00

Been meaning to blog for the last threees day. But always seemed to forget and feel to tired. I've been doing good exercise wise....I wish I could exercise five days a week but it isn't possible.

This past week I did things out of my normal routine.

Tuesday
I went to the gym and did a 30 minute session on the elliptical climber. Then transfered to the stairmaster and did 15 minutes.. After I worked on the circuit weight machine things...I'm still not sure what they're called...

Wednesday
Daddyo wanted to play basketball so I had to wait before beginning my exercise. I did some laps around the park. I'm not sure how long or even how many. I did as many as I could to the point of tiredness.

Thursday
I went to the gym a little later then usual. Arrived at gym at 5:30pm. I did about 30 minutes on the elliptical and stopped because I saw the SPIN GROUP CYCLE class was about to start. I've always just been a watcher. I'd just admire how fit and athletic looking the people who always did that class were. I was usually to intimidated to join, There was also a fear of looking like a fool for being out of shape. For some reason I was filled with need that night. I needed that class. I wanted to be one of those people. Those people didn't get that way just by viewing. They were doing it...and they could care less if people were passing by watching.. So I did it. Half way through I ran out of water and the instructor was asking me if I was ok.

"I'm just going to get some water. I'll be back," I said.

So I returned and finished the class...Oh Yess!!!! I finished the classs!! The instructor praised me for coming back. She said when most beginners get water half the time they usually don't return...So in my mind I was giving myself a pat on the back. This is another exercise break-through for me. Group exercise is actually really fun. I tried it once before..(5 years ago)It was step class and I didn't do so well. Next week I'll try to catch the spin cycle group again..

It's Saturday night on Guam now..I can still feel my muscles in pain from that class. My butt still hurts, too..

The end

I Like reading Celebrity stuff.

2006-08-21T00:52:00.000+10:00

So I was just reading some celebrity stuff..Came across this Article:Nicole Richie Is Not Anorexic. What's my say on this? Well, I never really paid much attention on the show she had on with Paris. So I don't know much..I mean If she wanted to be leaner..Why didn't she just get a personal chef, nutritionist and trainer. That way she could be lean and still look really healthy looking. It's sad that it's happening to her. She could have just followed Madonna or Demi Moore's FootSteps. That's tough I guess..She probably felt pressure having such a thin best friend.

On to my day...I didn't get to workout. I didn't stick to clean eating. I had a lot of snacks when the kids and I went to visit my Brother and sister-in-law. Boo hoo...But I had fun being out of my normal routine and hanging around other adults...Yay! for me..

I feel like snacking again...

2006-08-20T00:03:00.000+10:00

So yet again I'm running to this here blog. What shall I talk about? hmmmm...Oh Oh..Yesterday I went on the stairmaster..The machine tried to avoid. I tried it once before and said that's it. This machine is not my friend. I couldn't even last 5 minutes. Several Days ago I mentioned to Daddyo that I have a flat butt. He said you should use that stair machine. I looked at him and laughed. That thing is to hard for me. "That was before",he replied.

So yesterday I actually had no choice because my favorite machine wasn't available. The other ones just like it was to far from the TV. Golly Gee Miss Molly. I went on it and lasted 18minutes. That's on Manual though probably the lowest setting. I asked the lady next to me if I was doing it right. According to (when she asked) the management, holding on to the support you lose 30 percent of the calories you're soppose to burn.

Oh heck...she was still going at it though...holding the rails and sweating...

I don't know. I've always had a flat butt..I think it could be the way I stand and sit.

My mom said I should see a chiropractor...I'll go in the future. That's if I can get out of being a stay home momma...Hehe I'm getting used to it. I used to get bored and depressed staying home. That was after first born. That was then.

Being a first time mom was hard for me. Oh gosh. I didn't think I'd want to have anymore children. I never know what the future has for me. So Maybe I should go to sleep now. Daddyo has a night shift tomorrow. I'll work out in the morning if I can wake up.

6 pack Abs! plus 1

2006-08-17T17:45:00.000+10:00

Yeah I wish! Found this( How to get Six Pack Abs) when I transfered this blog here to beta.blogger. Check it out..Very Informative don't you think? Today is my weigh in and I ONE GAINED pound...haha! I guess I got carried away with the rice temptation. =) =( Oh Well, tomorrow is another week. That's been a first since I started..except for that one time I was bloated.

ahh finally! I forgot my password!!!

2006-08-15T21:46:00.000+10:00

Yeah I'm such a forgetful dork. I forgot what my password was! Sheesh and I couldn't remember because most of the time I enter the page with the auto login that usually looks like this ******. LOL! So I would have posted these things up much earlier if I knew the damn password from the top of my head. I need to be more organized with all my passwords. I haven't done anything like clear my cache or delete the saved passwords. Technology recked my day. Aside from that though. Firstborn son went back to school today...YAY! He is a firstgrader now. Myday's will be a lot more silent with him at school. Aw. and 2nd born will miss him so.

Checkout my before and Present

Alrighty so been okie dokie with exercise..getting enough..slacking off on drinking water..drinking lots of coffee=(. Coffee is my treat. Aside from that no major weight loss obstacles in the way. Ok maybe sometimes...Like watching everyone else eat filipino food with plates loaded up with steamed white rice..In that case I try to eat before or after everyone else.

165

2006-08-11T21:32:00.000+10:00

<==Me in my NOW loose workout clothes!
YuP! I'm at the 165lbs now. I hit the 30 pounds mark. I can't believe that I'm already at this point. I'm not used to it. For a while I thought this weight lost thing was taking to long. Maybe it's just because for the longest time I was at a steady weight. I may have been over 200 pounds for a while. It just wasn't recorded because there was no scale in the house. I was afraid to face the truth and just ate my fears and worries away.

Alright enough about that. So In the past days I have been snacking on Edamame(Japanese for Soybean). It's great. I lightly salt them while still in their pods after nuking them in the microwave. I instantly satisfy my salt craving and having less guilt...=D. You have to take the beans out of the pods so it takes time to snack on.

As for the charts and progress pics I'll try to update them sometime soon.

Whats up!

2006-08-05T23:15:00.000+10:00

Well It's been rainy Again. This time it's going to take days and days. Thats according to the National Weather Service Zone Forecast for Guam. Then out of the blue yesterday I had my first period since getting pregnant with baby diva. Oh My thats almost 2 years not including the post delivery. What does this all have to do with losing weight? Well, a lot. I feel crappy at this time of the month. It doesn't help. So I'm taking this time to follow Iportion's advice to do something instead of snack on my kiddos Cinnomin toast crunch cereal. Ok blogging is not really one of the mentioned listed items but hey. I think I'm fortunate enough to be able to blog at anytime. Alright that's all for now. I need to change Baby Diva's daippy.

3 months and 4 weeks

2006-08-03T14:56:00.000+10:00

At 3 months and 4weeks since deciding to loose weight I see some very obvious changes in my body. Even other people are now noticing it, too. I probably have more muscle on me now then when I did in highschool. I just had to show you my biceps. It is not cut up or anything but I've never had any definition in them even when I was skinny. Whoop di doo right! I still have some more fats to go. Being able to do a real flex is a new breakthrough for me.

Aside from that I'm down 2 pounds! I'm three pounds shy of the 30pounds lost mark. Today is my rest day. Earlier in the day though I wanted to go to the gym but was persuaded by Daddyo to rest.

cellphone..

2006-08-02T01:25:00.000+10:00

Alright I should've exercised today because daddyo had a dayoff ..Yeah! It was such a lovely day outside. I bought myself a data cord for my LG vx- 6000 phone. It's not the latest models around but is just techie enough for muah and not to complicated. Actually it was moms but she didn't really make any use of it. It's a camera phone that only takes a certain amount of pics at a time. 20 pics then you have to download it onto an online album. Mother got it as a prepaid. So that means the online browsing doesn't work. With the data cord uploading to the PC is so easy. I'm able to upload mp3 to it using Bitpim. Sheesh I'm such a nerd. So It's another week. Oh my how time flies.

I went shopping on Saturday for new Jeans. The ones I had were loose around the buttocks ,stomachand legs region that it was a bit frightening. I was dreading to go shopping. My kids were with me and they drove me crazy. That's the last time I attempt clothing shopping(with out their dad around). I'm now a size 10/11 for bottoms.=) It all depends on the cut though. On some jeans I fit well. On others I have muffin tops. What's up with dressing room lights,too. Is it the lights or the mirror? In the dressing room everythings seems magnified 75%. I purchased the a dark blue jean with a nice cut. I have slight muffin top but that'll go away as long as I stay on track.

Then today in the back of my closet I found my 4 year old jeans that I forgot that I had. I was actually looking for my size 8 shorts. I couldn't find those.When I find them I'll try to aim torward wearing those once again. Back to the 4 year old jeans. They fit nice and snug. Maybe I'll get daddyo to take a pic of me in it one day. Wow! I can't believed I just typed that down. I was actually feeling guilty that I didn't workout but now I'll just give my self a pat on the back. In 2004 I could barely fit those jeans past my knees. That was a depressing moment. Well, that's life sometimes you got up and sometimes you have downs.

Still the same

2006-07-28T14:16:00.000+10:00

So yesterday I still weighed the same. Well, maybe .5 lower. I don't have a digital scale so I'm still at 170. Emotionally I don't feel anything. I don't feel sad. I don't feel happy. I know it isn't a plateau cause exercise and food wise. I've been laxed. A plateau would be if I maintained my good food and exercise and stop losing. Sheesh....Today though I plan on jump starting my gym routine again. I'm going to steal daddyo's gym time. Ok this is what happen. Daddyo went back to the gym last month because he got jealous that I was having alot of me time. That's what I think. So after work he goes there and comes home at dinner time. Basically I get lazy in the evening to go to the gym which is open until midnight on weekdays. I'm going to change my laziness...I'm wasting money paying for the gym that I am not utilizing....I'll have to start blogging more, too. I think since I been lazy blogging to that's just about the same time I stop keeping track. I end up watching tv and eating which is a no....no...no..Eating in front of the tv makes me pigout. skhfodwhfiewhrfkfjdskfjsdlfjsdlkfjdslkfjklsdfjklsdjfkljll.....Gah...I better go know..I'm kinda going coocoo!

Slacking...

2006-07-25T23:35:00.000+10:00

I am slacking off....Well, I haven't gained weight but I'm steady. I haven't been working out more just 2-3 days a week which is still good. But It feels so slow. Like things have been in slow motion. Oh and the Baby diva is as of 2 days ago is offically a toddler. I'm still calling her the Baby Diva. Daddy-0's work schedule sucks big time. I wish it would go back to normal. I hate it. Maybe the next time he works evening shift I'll go do some laps in the park. I just know I won't be able to do that though cause I have to keep an eye on 2nd Born. He never went into the terrible two's. It's more of a terrriiibllle 3.

It raining its pouring!

2006-07-19T22:18:00.000+10:00

It's raining ALOT. I'm not in the greatest mood. This week has past so fast. The day after we went to the beach 2nd born had some stomache bug that gave him some runny bowel movements. That was later passed to Daddyo and Baby Diva the next day. I was Jinxing everything by saying that I'm to healthy to get that stuff. Then low and behold the following morning I awake with what feels like my whole digestive system is working double time. It's a really bad week for me. The piles of dirty dishes in the sink and Laundry are practically screaming at me. Some of the closest people I know joined myspace. So I've been there when I get to log on to cyber world. On the exercise front I only went back to the gym today. I've missed it. I inquired at the gym if they have fat calipers. So I don't need to buy them. They do have them but the women who helped me informed me that it's better to take measurements before exercise. So I'll do the measurements next time. She'll help me out.

Now after watching this slideshow It could just be that caramel corn that sabatoged our stomaches. Oh Well, we are ok now. Tomorrow's weigh in. I wonder how I'll do.

Picture Happy

2006-07-15T01:00:00.000+10:00

So when I initially started this blog journey I thought I could handle being anonymous. I'm a picture happy person though. So here it is...Some pics I'd like to share. Just click on them to open in another window I resized to avoid messing up the template.
-=Feb. 2006=-

-=June 2006=-

-=March 2006=-

-=June 2006=-

So what have I been doing lately? Hmmm. I haven't been going to the gym regularly(which means 5 times a week for muah!) only about at least 3x a week now. Daddyo's work schedule is complicated so I have to workout around that. I started doing the weight machines more now. I'm still doing cardio but instead of an hour cut it down to 30-45mins. Yesterday was nice and Hot so we went to the beach. I had fun taking pics there too. My mind is so blank right now. Early in the evening I had so many things I wanted to blog about and now it's just all gone. I'm missing my mom. She's still in the Philippines. With her still there I don't have that much time to sit here and type in the day. I have to wait until the Kiddos are all asleep at night. The Baby Diva is starting this routine of resisting sleeping because she's almost about to walk. All she wants to do is cruise and walk around. She's almost there. A couple or more months or maybe even days..

getting LAZY

2006-07-10T00:01:00.000+10:00

sigh I'm getting lazy about blogging folks! I don't know why. It could be the rainy days Guam has been having these past 2 days. All I want to do is lounge around the house in my PJs and be a couch potato. I've managed to catch up on a lot of TLC,VH1 and MTV..I love watching makeover shows. Sheesh and the Take home chef ..sheesh what a HOTTIE!!!!! with an adorable english accent. Speaking of Lazy...My kids they love Sporticus from Lazy town. Is it me or does his superhero tights and fake mustache make him HOT. Golly gee miss molly, I better lay off of the word HOT. I'm sounding like Paris.

Paris, my Brother-in-law is somewhat obsessed with that woman. Sheesh his myspace is practically plastered with an abundance of Paris Hilton You Rock slide shows. He even has a Paris Video up. I wonder. What if she never did those sex tapes? Would he still be obsessed?

I've been bad since my weigh-in...but it's all good. I was just food Happy with choclate chip cookies. I guess I'm a chocolate chip cookieholic. Sigh...tomorrow's another day. I hope the sun shines tomorrow because I gotta clean up.

170,170,170!!!!!

2006-07-06T13:21:00.000+10:00

Yipeeee! I'll blog on weight loss later

I just saw these clips so I just wanted to share them with you. I know you have the Humor to enjoy it. Have Fun.

Lola means Grandma in Tagalog. Taba means fats. Suka and Bawang is Vinegar and Garlic.

Anyways can't blog but I'll blog on later dudes

Happy 4th of JULY!

2006-07-04T22:18:00.000+10:00

So we went to the Carnival this evening. We were originally planning to go watch the Fire Works but it turns out to be at Polaris Point. DaddyO is a lazy driver so we just thought maybe we should check out the carnival. That's Barbeque Chicken kabobs and Chamorro Red Rice and it was Yummy.Ofcourse I shared. We went around playing booth games with the Kiddos. Note to self: next year or next time bring a big bag to put all the prizes in. Skipped out on workout today. Which is actually no big deal because Lexis said previously in on of my other entries that I really only need to workout 3 days a week. Lexis it's ok I enjoy reading your comments they are very educational. Aw shooot the little diva woke up and I must end here.

Little Diva is cruising

2006-07-03T15:58:00.000+10:00

My Daughter is now a cruiser. She can actually take 3 steps before she realizes there is nothing for her to hold on to and starta crying. I can't just stay on the computer and let her in a pile of toys anymore. She just wonders around touching and tugging everything in site. I haven't been able to blog and when I find the time I end up reading. Seems like everyone elses story is so much intresting then mine. I can't wait for summer to be over. I have repeated the word STOP so many times.

1st born>>>>*stares at 2nd born
2nd born>>>*in an irritating whine* M..Ommmmmmmyyyyyy...he's looking at me..

1st born>>*in an angry voice.* What I wasn't doing anything?
Me>>>.STOP already enough can the two of you just ignore eachother?

blah blah blah...I'm to lazy and tired to talk about it. It's as if I hear the word MOMMY one more time I'll explode. Maybe I'm not such a good mother. Actually if you asked me 10 years ago how many kids I was going to have. I would have said none. I thought I wasn't the type the lord would bless with angels. I thought I would grow to be an Old maid. Not exactly an old maid. I dreamt to be a well eduacated corporate climber(busy with my carreer to have a love life and family person). It just so happens I never went for my dreams and just followed the flow of the waves life brings. Now I'm fortunate to write about the loves of my life. I don't have much money but I am wealthy. Love is my wealth. The precious people who drive me crazy everyday are the people I love the most. I can just imagine mother's day when they are adults. Hopefully we'll all be buddies and they'll buy their already "HOT MAMA" brunch.

I am a cardio, scale whore Lexis=)

2006-06-28T00:00:00.000+10:00

So it's back to regular stuff again. I started to work out again and yes I still did cardio. I don't know Lexis maybe I'm just a stubborn mule or something. I just like doing cardio and really look to working out if possible, 5 days a week. It's just something to look foreward to in my days just to get to be myself away from the home, chores, laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, and other things that mothers are SOPPOSE to do. Doing cardio and listening to the soundtrack of my life gives me such an adrenaline rush. So we had lots of food at the party. People brought home lots of balutan. That's not me standing by the table. That's my 1st born's god mother. No body wanted to take home some cake. I guess everybody is on a diet. I had some today. I haven't been able to control the appetite since that party. I didn't even get to eat that evening. Running around and what not. Tomorrow is another day. I can just start all over again. I haven't been good on the water drinking either.

Party on Saturday...

2006-06-21T16:46:00.000+10:00

Well, I have been busy figuring out what to do about this coming June 24, 2006. We are going to celebrate my daughter's 1st birthday( which actually was on the 17th), her baptismal(on that day), and my first born's 6thbirthday( which actually is today). So many thing all around the same time so we just decided to combine all into one party. Anyhow.....as much as I'd like to blog more...I'll have to save it for later when I have more time on my hands and kids are not bugging me.

On the weight loss front I kind of put that on hold on my priority list..Coincidentaly daddyo has been clocking in more hours and so unable to stay home with the kids when I hit the gym...I lost track of food intake. Probably no big difference as I no longer have time to sneak in some unnessary snacks.

174

2006-06-15T14:40:00.000+10:00

I'm down 1 pound. So I slacked of on eating a little bit and exercise. Lastnight daddyo had another bowling league tournament thingy. We ended up eating at Mcdonalds and I had a hamburger happy meal with french fries. Yipee I had french fries. lol. That was fine I guess but then Kids just had to have chocolate Ice cream while watching daddyo bowl. I should have just bought them just one and then have them split it. I ate what they didn't finish. It was chocolate yah know. How can I resist? Anyhow, Daddyo is home from work I'm off to exercise now..Usta La Vista!

Water Retention Sucks!

2006-06-14T12:52:00.000+10:00

I was going to update my measurement chart the following day after the previous post I made. Oh Well, that day however I was to lazy to cook. Daddyo likes eating Lucky Me Beef Mami Supreme and I just let the kids have those for dinner that night. Big Mistake...They couldn't finish it and I ended up eating their leftovers..Next day when I weighed myself I instantly weighed 5lbs. I was totally shocked. I even called daddyo at work just to tell him how sad I was.
"Maybe you just need to take a dump or something.", he said.

I doubt it. Well, I was eating just the right amout of food until I remembered the instant noodles. I just ran to the kitchen and read the nutritional content. 110 grams...GRAMS.. not mg..MILIGRAMS. Oh boy. That's a whole lot of salt. So I checked on the internet to see if could be possible to be water weight . I found several sites that help me relax. It took about 3 days for my weight to go back to normal.. during that 3 days I was a scale ho. So from now on no matter how lazy I am I'm not going to feed those things to my kids no more or me for that matter. Daddyo I guess thats a treat for him. He has no sweet tooth at all. I guess because he is a pastry chef de partie. You would expect that because of his career he would be a fatty by now. In reality he lost his sweet tooth I think.

Alright enough about that. I've been so busy with the kiddos these previous day. The Daughter is cuising now...I don't know why all my children skip the crawling stage. It's so weird. Two out 3 of them went through the bum scoot. I don't know what else to call it. Hehehe..Oh Well, the daughter just scooted herself underneath the computer desk must end here..seacrest out...lol.

175

2006-06-08T22:29:00.000+10:00

So I hit the 20lb mark..I updated the progress photos. Some of the photos are low resolution and to lazy to retake. Well, it's been a fast week. I'm happy that I lost but some how looking at the recent pictures I'm still not satisfied.Oh gosh the daughter woke up...Update later.

2 months working out.....whoa!

2006-06-07T08:57:00.000+10:00

Sheesh it's been two months since I started exercising and made a choice to stop having a sedatary lifestyle. I was reading my ticker up there and I could here Joey Buttafuco say,"whoa!". I remember watching "Blossom" and couldn't help to think he was hot to bad he was an airhead. Hmmm...what ever happened to blossom? Well, this is the last week of school for my first born and I sort of dreading it. I need to find things to keep him busy because when he is bored he finds entertainment by picking on his 3 year old sibling. Alright gotta keep this short. I still have mommy chores to do.

Dropped a pound at weigh-in which is good because I didn't exercise that much in the past week.

on another note not related to weight loss my 2nd born son had an attack of hives . I'm not to sure what caused it because he was eating a Lunchable Boxed thing. He was drinking chocolate milk,too. He hasn't had milk for awhile because it seems he developed a lactose intolerance last year in August. I tried to give him milk again and he breaks out in hives. Poor Kid. Well, he was ok now. We had gummy worms, the lunchable ham, cheese& cracker stackers and chocolate milk. Oh Well, maybe I should bring him to an allergist to get him tested.

Advanced Fat Loss Weight Training Routine

2006-05-31T09:24:00.000+10:00

I found THIS PROGRAM when I was searching for a picture of a back extension machine. I have aching back muscles. It's just the result of working out the uppers yesterday. My triceps are twitching sometimes,too. Well, I'm thinking about doing that program if ever I hit a plateau. The program has a lot more variety then what I'm already doing. I wonder if typing with one hand and holding a baby on my lap burns extra calories? lol.

Hope you had a Happy Memorial Weekend

So I skipped on exercise yesterday because I thought the gym was closed. Turns out it was opened but only for half day. So whats new? Nothing much..I had a tough time exercising and getting started. There's another reason why I don't like resting for 2 days in a row. I always feel so lazy. House wise I been slacking off on cleaning everywhere. Its not so bad. I'm not a perfect person. Sometimes unfolded laundry and plates in the sink just mean I'm just enjoying life right. Oh Well, its late so much for an update..

Didn't workout today...I think this song would a good song to workout to though..Nothing much to say today..I guess I'm just LAZY.

Somewhat stressed..

2006-05-26T19:52:00.000+10:00

I wish I could just go workout right now and sweat all the stress inducers out of my body. My first born is driving me up the wall. He insists and whines that I'm mad at him. He chants repeatedly that I am mad at him. Really I'm not I was just warning him about jumping on the bed. His 3 year old brother is a copy cat so to avoid any injury to anyone I simply said no jumping on the bed. So the chanting began...then became a whine ....that resulted in a low pitch cry..."huh..huh...huh"(fake sounding)..Why must he insist on being such a challange? So right now..Here he is standing by me as I type reading over my shoulder trying to sound out this whole blog entry.

" I wiiiisssshhh I could....What does that all mean? " , he asks.

The TV distracts him and just walked away. I guess each child is so different. I have yet a diva in progress. I have no idea what personality she has yet. Dispite all that just happened today this blog ranting is helping. Makes me want to drink a nice warm cup of coffee with amaretto flavored cream. Daddyo is playing some cards at a friends house that we'll just call Jaime pronounced HI-ME. Is this what it feels like to be a single parent? Can exercise be addictive? I should get a workout DVD so I can just workout here in the comforts of my own home If I can't make it to the gym. Daddyo has a weight set. But I'm not a bench and free weight person..Hmm maybe should try it out...If I was a smoker I'd probably be having a cigarette right now. No Way I'd rather use the money to for gas. I think maybe I'll get a yoga or bellydancing dvd. Haha! Who else thinks "My gym partner is a monkey" is a weird cartoon? Oh gosh the diva woke up! I here her vocals. See you later aligator!

Hip Hip Hooray...Another 2 pounds down. I'm happy that the fats are burning...I'll Update later..Baby gurl woke up...

Okie Dokie I'm back artichokie! Well, I wanted to take pictures to see if there is any difference. Its just so good to see the results in print. I updated the charts mostly for my happy viewing pleasure. I'll update the photos when I reach 175lbs. Ohhh..I can't wait. This is so fun. I love that what I'm doing is working. I love that I don't have to literally count every single carb/calorie/ or points of some sort. Just watch my portions, have everything in moderation but try to strictly stay away from the junk stuff. The junk stuff is hard to resist sometimes. So I had 1 rainbow chocolate chip deluxe cookie better than eating the half the package of cookies I used to do. Hehe! Drink lots of water. Exercise and this fats do a disappearing act...ohhhh LA LA!

Ah Music to my ears!

Today we went Used Car Hunting. We wanted to get another car so I don't have to drop and pick up daddyo from work. It's tough finding a used car here in guam with such a limited budget. Oh well, I bought a new cd player because I obviously I can't afford an IPod or any decent mp3 players. It's not so bad really because I would have played the same songs repeatedly. Today was a great day to workout. Yes indeed.

I liked working out with some different music. I got tired of the music that the gym broadcasts. "Gasolina","Super Sonic", and " Come on Eileen" were my favorite songs today. I felt so energized that I knocked of the cd player and it fell to the floor. That's me! What a Klutz! It was ok though coz the floor was carpeted.

Food wise I think I'm doing good so long as I lay off the rice. I'm no longer a rice girl. I'm still a coffee drinker though. I managed to keep the coffees simple no more frappachinos or whipcreme topped beverages for me.

haahaha! Templates!

2006-05-24T00:36:00.000+10:00

Worked out today!

I've been fiddling with my template and found this great blogger profile generator. I feel like changing the title of my blog but since I already put it up there just leave it at that. I wanted to change the skinny to SEXY. I wasn't really skinny ever. Compared to my highest weight I would say yes that might have been skinny. My lowest weight I would guess was 139ish. I'm not to sure. I wasn't to worried about weight that time. So I was soppose to wash the dishes but for some reason I just had to go on the computer. What if I get rid of this computer so I could more things done in a day. Then I would be somewhat sad. I remember not having a computer. Well, I probably had undiagnosed postpartum depression at that time so I'm not sure where the source of sadness was coming from. That was about 5 and a half years ago. I'm sleepy. Goodnight.

Bowling is fun!

2006-05-21T19:38:00.000+10:00

So we went bowling. I only played 2 games though. Kids wanted to go to the Whimsy's game room. They are not old enough to go all by thierselves. We left early because there was a league game thingamagiger. Oh heck, I don't know what the sports term of it all. My brother-in-law is getting really good at bowling. He has all the gear for it, too. He sold his old ball to daddyo for only $30. Thats a pretty good discount considering daddyo is his big brother. I was getting better at bowling when the lady at the counter announced that our lane had only 10 minutes to bowl. What a bummer.

So I skipped the gym that day.

I went yesterday did the usual cardio and some upper weight machines. I'm not really on a steady schedule with the weight machines. I just use those things to trick my body. I feel like my body is getting so used to the elliptical climber it might start burning less calories. Well, that's all I can blog about right now.

Yummy Yummy Pizza,Pizza,

2006-05-19T14:45:00.000+10:00

Yesterday was my sister-in-law's birthday. They came over ordered some Thin n crispy pizzas from pizza hut for dinner. It's been awhile since I've had pizza..I had 3 slices of the super supreme with a glass of nice bubbly carbonated pepsi. Having Company over was nice.

I did only 45minutes on the elliptical. I was paying bills prior to my typical gym regimen and didn't anticipate the long line at the telephone company. They usually don't have any waiting lines. It was just my luck that the phone company's started disconnecting delinquent accounts this week. Anyhow nature is doing its duty and I have to do a number 2. Tonight we are going bowling. Tudals
