I’ve completed 9% of my goal.  I’ve lost a whooping 9 pounds, w00t!  (hey do the math if you want to know my weightloss goal. lol)  I finally bought my own scale instead of using the heartbreaker one at the gym.  (For some reason, it says I weigh 30 lbs lighter, then I reweigh the next day, and I’m back at my starting weight.  Hells to the no!! lol)

Gross alert:
Gosh, one day I went swimming at the indoor pool at Abrams, then I hit the gym right after, and, holy crap, I was drenched in sweat, like the most in my life.  Pouring. lol Sick.  :-D  Actually, I take that back, I think I sweated that much giving BIRTH both times.  lol  Anyway, it took a LOT out of me.  It was good tho.  I’m going to do that more often if  my hair can take it.  Gawd, my hair will probably end up like straw if I don’t get a swimming cap.  But only qualm about that is I use my hair to cover up my stupid panda tattoo!!  Gawd, I can’t wait to get that removed.

Life’s been going pretty good - financials could be better, but I suppose everyone’s having trouble with that these days.  At least I learned how important an emergency fund for different things is, lol.   That’s the trouble these days, right?  No one really knows how to save money anymore.  And if you do, then congrats and good luck to you, you’re awesome. :-) 

As for food, I’ve taken to eating off a saucer plate- whatever I can fit on there, that’s what I’m eating and that’s all the food I get. (HAHA!)  Except I can have all the green and veggies I want.  I think it’s going to work out good.  Because there isn’t really a “secret” to weight loss.  It’s -quote Alwyn Cosgrove - Work out more and  ”EAT LESS, [FUCKING] FAT BOY.”  (rofl)

Of course Jorge comes along and whines in the background “Gaaaaaawd that’s what I’ve been saying all along!!!”  (Minus the fucking fat boy part, lol)

Oh and have you seen my Jorgie lately?  He needs to put some new pics on his myspace because compared to NOW, he looks so small in his default!   I was looking at it today and I was like, “who’s the skinny guy?” haha.  But yea, seriously, he’s looking rather beast.  We must look crazy in the gym together, me in my rotundus and him all sexy. lol  Nah, I bet people think he’s my trainer, and not my husband, rofl.  Then he kisses me, slaps my butt and people are all like “wtf?”.

In other family news, the kids are doing great.  God Bless them.  They’re such troopers, and getting a hang of money making decisions. lol  Like there were Easter baskets on sale, 50% off.  We snatched one, and then re-examined our decision - those baskets have cheap ass toys in them and like maybe 8 packages of candy.  (Dreona was like, “that’s IT?!” lol)  So we put the basket back, and picked up those velcro toss and catch things with a tennis ball, a wiffle ball and bat, and a bigger thing of candy for the same price. W00t- score. lol  Dre was psyched.   We’ve turned into penny pinchers. LoooL.  It’s about economics.

My little girl Dee has finally got the grasp of potty training and is having fewer accidents…although I doubt anyone wanted to hear about that.

I’m getting tired of my workout songs…finally. lol  It’s been almost four months and the same playlists! lol  So ANY Suggestions would be much appreciated.  Hey, might even remind me of songs I forgot. :-)  So let me know!

Reminds me to get my nikeplus thing up and running again, well, that can wait. (lol I almost wrote “weight”.  Gawd, anything else on your mind, Ellen?)

Time to do some crunches.  And clean the house. lol 
Thanks for reading! :-)  For reals.  If someone reads the stuff I write it just holds me all the more accountable for my goals. lol 

So Thanks.  You’re the best.
