Week 4 - Day 22: "4 Day Weekend"

Ok, I know I just got back from vacation and now I have a 4 day weekend. It doesn't get any better. It was the typical week...get up, go to work, come home, play with Christian, go to bed. Every day, all week. We did typical "Fresh Choice Wednesday" (which no one showed up for).

The highlights of my week was knowing that I had a 4 day weekend coming up. My shows are over and summer ones don't start until next week.

I did celebrate my 6 year wedding anniversary on Saturday. I had to spend it alone since Chris had to shoot a wedding but he made up for it with a card and roses when he walked in the door. The roses are gorgeous. My in-laws also sent a flower-cake (non-edible) via 1-800-flowers. Very cute.

I feel retarded with nothing to report.

I did start reading for pleasure again. FINALLY. I was tired of reading text books. So on this weeks reading agenda we have the next installment of Richelle Mead's "Vampire Academy: Spirit Bound". I also saw for the first time today on Comcast's ON DEMAND "Dear John". Good Flick! Chick Flick for sure!

I did do very well this week with my weight and working out. I walked every day at lunch time, weighed at night and did my Wii workout. I lost 2 lbs this week which is a steady pace. I am down 7 lbs now in 2 weeks. 7/30. Only 23 to go til goal weight.

I had an old friend make me feel very good this week. She said my blog inspired her to lose weight and so she started her own blog to be accountable to the world like I am. I now have two followers on this blog. I know some of you read me on Facebook but do me a favor and click follow on this site so I know you care and are watching me. I need your help to get through this.

Well, we will see what this week brings. I know it involves a cut/color/brazillian blowout. I will post a pic when its done. (Tuesday is the appointment).

Have a fabulous week!

Week 3 - Day 15 "It begins and ends with Hawaii"

What a roller coaster of a week. It started with me flying home from Hawaii. I was so excited to pick up my little boy after not seeing him for 5 days. We got home and crashed. So glad I took Tuesday off just to re-group and get my head in the game for the week to come.

We had finals this week which I am proud to say I passed both classes. Again, what the heck was I thinking taking Econ 1 & 2 at the same time. Crazy person!

It was nice to be back to work and into a routine again. My OCD needs a routine.

Wednesday was business as usual... except "Fresh Choice Wednesday." We had to go on Thursday this week due to an unscheduled photo shoot. If anyone is actually reading this blog I hope you come and join us. We go every week, same day, same time. Wednesday by 5pm. (We are old folks, we get there before 5pm to pay $6.99 instead of $9.99, LOL)

So Thursday was Wednesday? This was a great week for Season Finale's. I am just a TV nut. Grey's Anatomy, can you say "OMG" Oh My Grey's. Can you believe how it ended. Cant wait for next season. I dont know about Bones though. Love the show tremendously. Can Booth and Bones just get together already???

And Friday was TGIF. It was a short work week but seemed long for some reason. Oh I know why, because I have been waiting for the Series Finale of LOST FOREVER. 6 years in the making (which I actually started about a year ago...better late than never). But man its only Friday. Somehow I lost my kid to my in-laws, not bad considering I needed a long good nights sleep.

Spent Saturday studying and taking tests which I mentioned above I passed. We had dinner at Uncle Chung's in Pinole and brought the boy home.

Sunday was spend being LAZY until around 4 when I got my butt in gear to clean the house. Chris was an awesome help. We knocked it all out. I needed something to distract me while the clock was counting down. We got the boy off to bed and it was time for LOST. Two hours of recap and the two and a half hours of the Finale. The sad thing is I have Jimmy Kimmel Live paused right now trying to finish this weeks Blog as quickly as possible so I can see the interviews with the cast and the alternate endings.

In the middle of all of this weeks madness I managed to lost 5 lbs. Yes, that's right 5lbs. I have 1/6 of the way to my 30lb goal by the end of August. So lets hope this week brings goodness as well. I would like to attribute my weight loss to: 1.) Good Eating and 2.) My new exercise regimen on the Wii Fit Plus, LOVE it.

So as my title says the week began in Hawaii and it ends in Hawaii. LOST was taped in Hawaii. How awesome!?!

Toodles till next all.

Good night. xoxo

Week 2 - Day 8 "Maui Baby"

Well its our last night in Hawai'i. It is bitter sweet. I absolutely would love to stay in paradise for another week, but I am dying to go home to my little boy. This was a fun week and fun trip. Here's how it went...

Thursday - arrived in Hawai'i, checked in, took a nap, went swimming and had a yummy pizza dinner.
Friday - went scouting for locations for our TTD shoot, yummy lunch, swimming, yummy dinner, shaved ice and bed.
Saturday - wedding, yummy dinner, swimming, na-nite.
Sunday - fabulous ttd shoot, (BAD SUNBURN), relax, movies, yummy dinner, and soon good night.

I am excited to go home and start my transformation. I know I could have started this week, but who wants to diet on vacation. I wasn't very bad, but I wasnt good.

Thank you to all who have commited to support me in my future endeavor. Chris and I are toying with the idea of another baby. I have a goal weight in mind if this is going to happen. If you support our idea to have another baby, please push me to be good!

Thanks everyone, have a fabulous week. I hope to have a great update for you next week. Keep in mind my weight might be higher but we will find that out tomorrow. But whatever my weight is tomorrow night when I get home will be the last time I will be that weight.

Week 1 - Day 1: "Mothers Day", My Day???

I am so blessed to have my husband in my life. He constantly reminds why I live for what I do every day. As does my son. So when I woke up this morning I knew it was going to be a good day. A day of celebration for me, a mom. I got to sleep in, be lazy, watch movies, play games and do homework at my leisure. Now don't confuse my question mark in my title as this wasnt my day. It so was. I just woke up thinking that I am being celebrated by my family, but "I" didnt want to celebrate me. Why would I not want to do that? Here is why... I got on the scale and remembered that I am not fully happy with me. I need to lose weight. I have been blaming it on "baby weight" for two years now and thats not fair to anyone. Its just pure laziness and I decided that today is the day that I start to do something about it.

I want to celebrate me and so I decided that for one year I am going to work on me in every way I can... physically, emotionally, educationally, etc. I want to be a better person for everyone in my life, especially me.

So here is my challenge to myself. I weigh 208 pounds as of this morning. I am going to make this blog an outlet for to express how I am feeling, where I am, and where I am ready to be. By the end of the one year I hope to be 158 pounds. I know that is ambitious but I know I can do it.

Please support me. I will continually update you all (well anyone who cares to keep track). I will be accountable to everyone and espcially myself.

In one year you will see a better me. Not that the old me is bad and unhappy, but I am just ready to take me to the next level.

WISH ME LUCK!
XOXO
