How About A Before & After? UGHHHH

I've never dared post a "before" pic before I begin my journey...my weight loss journey. I always say that I will post one once I've reached my goal (which i NEVER do!! Grrr & GRRR). Because that way I'll have something nice to compare it to :) But how about if I try reverse psychology on myself? I'm going to try & find a decent "before" pic....BRB....

Oh my gosh, am I really going to go through with this? Posting the pic? Yeah, I am, I've thought about it, I am going to post a half body one. Later on I will post the full body one, ugh & ugh!!

There it is, I did it! I want to keep better record of my progress.

I am going on 2 weeks that I've been watching my diet. I've gone out there to walk and believe it or not, I am feeling better. 1st and foremost, I'm doing this for my health. 2ndly, I want to tuck in my shirt and feel comfortable. I also want to wear a nice blingy belt ;) 3rdly, I want to look PHAT for my man. Although he tells me I'm already PHAT. I believe him, but still, for ME!!

Cheers to me!! I'm am going to post comments on my post often. You know, of what's going though my head. What I ate that was bad, I mean good. Etc, etc.......

I can't wait to wear all that darn clothes I've bought in smaller sizes that I'VE NEVER WORN!!! They all still have the tags. Que barbarra! I don't plan to do that ever again! I will only buy sizes that fit me RIGHT NOW!! There's one blue jean dress that is my goal. Can't wait!!!!

Adrian Calls It As He Sees It

Just a quick introduction of Adrian Ethan..............Adrian is our little man, he is 4 yrs old, is in Pre-K, loves all the superheroes, and Spongebob. When we pray, he always reminds me to pray for our dog Daisy & the wind.

He is doing so well is school. He is always singing his phonetic alphabet song & the color song & any other songs they sing at school (which drives BIG Sister Ally insane). You know, he cracks us up because we were used to quiet little Ally, and along comes Adrian that sees things very differently from our princess. He will speak his mind around those that he feels comfortable with. One day we all got off the car and didn't get him off right away. I thought Abel was going to take him down, and he thought I was going to take him down. So when Abel took him off the car, Abel told him "Mommy forgot to take you down baby :(" And Adrian responded by saying "SO did YOU!!" We love him!

Ok, back to my point. We could not believe our eyes when we saw his report card after the 1st six weeks!! And I don't mean the grades (which were great by the way). I mean the masterpiece he had drawn on his envelope!!! As you can see below, he drew his precious family. For one, i was amazed he could draw such cute stick cartoons. Needless to say, ALLYSON SKYLA was NOT happy with Adrian's representation of her!! She could not believe Adrian had drawn her with a sad/mad face!! She was/is so embarrassed! All she can do now is tell him his mean, lol! She can be grumpy at times, so Adrian drew her as he saw it. I will treasure that report card cover forever :)

Tonight I Cried

I can't exactly pinpoint what triggered these tears. Is it stress? Work? Family? Money? Health? Frustration? Happiness? A void? Failure?

1st of all, EVERYTHING IS FINE. I think it might be that I got mad at my baby Skyla and I am feeling guilty. Being a parent is not easy. We have to watch our every word, our every move, our every moment. We want the best for them, and sometimes it means setting them straight to teach them and prepare them for a bigger, better & brighter future. I LOVE LOVE our kids. They make us so tremendously happy. Gosh, it's so true when my parents would tell me "I get mad at you because I love you, if I didn't care, we would let you do whatever you want!" It was mainly my dad that would tell us that. Children have to be scared of a least ONE parent! No?

STRESS? I guess who doesn't have it?
WORK? I like it, but it does stress me out when we can't keep the office BUSY! I have learned so much there, more than just dentistry :)
FAMILY? i LOVE my familia. I want to do my best as a wife, mommy, friend, and be an example/role model.
MONEY? grrrrrr. Goes too fast !
HEALTH? Should I even go there? Really, i don't know what the heck I'm waiting for to jump on the health wagon!!! I DON'T want to be forced to follow a diet for an external reason. I want it to come natural and to keep a healthy life. JUST DO IT ADRI!!!!!!
FRUSTRATION? All i gotta do is stop procrastinating!
HAPPINESS? I'll take a DOUBLE shot of that anytime, all the time :D
A VOID? That's between me & the Lord. He can fill it, and make it pour over.
FAILURE? Failure I'm NOT. I already went to school & got an associates degree, although I want more! I would like to aim for my bachelors!!!!

Now that the tears have dried up, maybe it was the movie I just saw! Mark Zuckerberg kinda made me mad :P

***P.S. Te amo mi amor!!!**** ****YOU complete me!!***

I just want to flip the switch....and LOCK it!

From time to time I am able to switch the will power ON!! Willpower to be healthier and exercise. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it is a better life style to be a healthier individual. So WHY don't I do what it takes? That is the question! I am fortunate enough to know the secret ( i know it's hard to believe...hehe). Lots of people don't know how or what to do to lose weight. Or just don't think it is possible. I KNOW it is possible, yet I don't roll out my plan.

I've started to walk with a friend. I told her that hopefully my brain & stomach & mouth will follow the routine as well. I get to a point that I wish I could be taking pills or something! I know they are horrible! Don't worry family & friends, I wouldn't dare do that. I've heard too many horror stories with them pills. Besides, my husband would kill me if I'd pop any of those things into my system.

I am writing about this in search of that darn switch..... I know i can!

Dusting off The Spider Webs

Almost 4 months since I've blogged! I haven't even read any blogs either!! So tonight I will dust off some of the Spider Webs.....

I Got A Coffee Buzzzzzz

As hyper and alive and happy as I consider myself to be, I never believed that something could make me more hyper! People say chocolate or even COKE have that affect on them.....well, not on me! The other day i was so sleepy at work and my boss offered me some coffee for the umpteenth time. I finally took her up on the offer and she prepared me half a cup. She put 1 hazelnut cream, and 3 packets of sugar. When i took my 1st sip, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, i burned my tongue!! So anyways, i was shocked it actually woke me up!!! Too bad it only lasted for 30 minutes. I have to say, it did NOT taste bad. I think I'll go ahead and give it another try in the winter....that stuff is too HOT to be drinking in the summer! And that's how I got a coffee buzz, felt good, hehe....

I found him!!!

I met this guy back in 1994 for the 1st time. Sticks around for a while...then disappears. We lose contact for months, sometimes years! It is always so awesome when we meet and hang for a while. The outcome is always fantastic. The last time we met was in 2008. Well.......last week...on Monday, guess what? I found HIM!!! He is Mr. Power......1st name Will. WILLPOWER!!!!

OH my gosh! Talk about trying to stick to a healthy diet when you have no Willpower!! In just one week, I can tell the difference.....or is it in my head? The brain is so powerful! Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday's I would attempt to eat healthy and I'd fail EVERY TIME! I don't know what switch was flipped on May 3, but I wish I could find a permanent lock to keep it in place!!!

Why must junk food be so delish!? And flour tortillas, and chocolate, and cokes, and etc, etc, etc...

Anyways, here's to a healthier ME!!! I have set some short term weight loss goals....aver que pasa? :)

Losing my Touch

Aye, I used to be able to whip up a post on me blog like nothing. Now i can't find the words, I'm taking too long, and I'm getting real sleepy. I am going to bed now...and will finish my other post later..........nighty nite........zzzzzzzzzzz

F.R.O.G.

As usual, minding my own business at work today, I overheard my boss & a patient speaking. My boss told this older gentleman "Oh, I like your frog!" And of course, curious ADRI had to turn around and investigate ;) He was wearing a necklace w/a froggie as a charm.


The gentleman said "It's my witness tool..." I did not understand what he meant? He then said
"Fully Rely On GOD" He said that he uses it to find out if people are Christians. If they are not, he witnesses to them and invites them to church!! That right there alone just touched me.

I know I am NOT perfect, NOR will I ever be, but I do wish to learn more about the LORD. I know he is my saviour. I know I still do many things I shouldn't...slowly but surely....

I'm not sure if you had heard of a witness tool (other than the bible), I hadn't. People get curious or compliment on his frog...and that is his way in! Just thought I'd share this with you today. It was a blessing for me today and reminded me to thank the LORD for everything. LOVE YA'LL :)

Missing

I miss my blog. I have neglected it! Not only do i miss blogging, but reading and commenting on others. Tonight I was checking out this cool website and it had the same colors of my blog, so i had to stop by and do something.

I need to post pictures!! The only problem is that we don't have el internet at home right now. I can get online by connecting the G1 to the laptop, pero that is slow sometimes. As soon as we have everything set up again at home, I should be posting pics.

Oh 10

Will it still be proper to say the year 2010 as Oh Ten? Anyways...HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!! This means that this year:

• Abel & I will GOD willingly be celebrating our 10th year anniversary!!! I can't wait for that. I'd love to make A PARTY!
• Ally will be graduating from High School in 1o years!! We seriously need to start saving for that!
• Adrian is supposed to start Pre-K in the fall!!!! TEAR :*( He's our little man!!

I pray that the LORD will continue to bless each and everyone of you all!!! Have a Happy New Decade as well!!!

Resolutions:

• Wash my face before bed every night!!! And put my beauty cream!! Speaking of....better go do that before I continue here...brb.....
• And I guess brush & floss my teeth every night. It takes me so long to floss!! That's why I avoid it! But I've seen the consequences of NOT flossing, so i better start doing it!

Do YOU have any resolutions? I have some goals as well, aver si I can reach my goals, and I will reveal those at the end of the year :)
