sometimes life throws you a curve ball. about 3 weeks ago I was rearended leaving the gym. I have neck/back/arm trauma and have spent the past 3 weeks in Physical therapy (PT) My therapist has put a hiatus to exercising and because the pain has been constant it has made me unable to do even the simpliest every day activities.  I haven’t been watching my diet and haven’t even weighed myself for 3 weeks. This week I am determined to track what  I am eating and plan menus.   Has life ever…

I am coming to realize that I will have to keep a food journal every stinkin' day so that I keep myself on track.  I am a member of WW and have had some weight loss success and some weight gain, but I learn more about myself and what my nutritional needs are all the time.  So the time of weight gain is not completely wasted. It's just a downer.  I'm really stubborn about giving up some things and adding more vegetables to my everyday food plan.

Well after a hard week i did it!! I lost 3.2!! I feel great and very motivated for this new week.
I guess changes in the diet helped a lot! I need to continue doing great to be slimmer for my birthday on august 11th

When I was 11, I was given the choice to stay in the US or go back to Mexico to wait for my mother to finish earning the money needed to pay for my sis' college.  An 11 year old, what did I know?  My biggest concern was school, how was I supposed to pass History class when all I knew was Mexico's?  LMAO.  I can't believe THAT was my biggest concern.  Cut to the first day of school, I realized I didn't speak the language.  Ooops.  

I thought I'd always get "D"s and that I would…

Hello! So I did Muai Thai yesterday (Thai kickboxing) then lifted some weights... and I am aching all over today!!! I think I'll take it easy today and just walk on the treadmill for a bit. :)

It's my sister.  She's the storm of stress.  You can hear her a mile away, you can feel it when she comes close.  I swear, she gives off such weird vibes.  I don't know.  She came over today and my anxiety spiked the f-up.  I told her we should go walk and luckily, she agreed.  It helped me calm down, I hope it helped her, too.  Some people live on stress, I don't want to be one of them anymore.

I cleaned up and there's still laundry left but I'm ok with that.  I was reading…

I read the title of this post in one of Megan's recent posts and I thought that that's exactly what I felt all day long today. I felt that it was all I thought about all day long while we were out bike riding. In fact, I'm still thinking about it now.

I got up this morning and did a super freak-out cleaning spree in the kitchen - especially the refrigerator. It took about 2 hours total and my husband thought I was on something! lol After that we took off about 12:30 to go bike riding.…
