Karma?

Why me? Why you?! Why does this stuff always happen to you? Only you!! This is the lovely conversation that was going on with Sean this Saturday as I sat on the side of the freeway with a flat tire.

I've been leading a Community involvement event called Paint Your Heart Out at work and needed to use Sean's truck to haul supplies around. So I wake up early Saturday morning feeling great...I love helping others. I grab some breakfast for all the volunteers and we start getting to work on Prep day! For only having 7 people show up we got a lot of work done and got outta there by noon. So here I am cruising home looking forward to laying out on this beautiful sunny saturday! When....the car starts to swerve and Im like..huh whats going on??? I race to cut ppl off and try to pullover!! I make it to the side of the freeway and yep...Nail in the tire!!

Karma?!? WTF? why me? this type of stuff always seems to happen to me. So, I'm on the phone with Meagan trying to figure out what to do and a old rusty looking van pulls over...harmless little old guy comes up and offers to fix the tire for me. Awesome!! Thank you so much random guy who carries around a mini air compressor. Problem solved I hit the road and head to the gas station to put more air in the tire. Once I get home and close the car door I can hear the air whistling out of the tire...CRAP! now what? Call Sean for some guidance and he is just SO frustrated with me that he was no help at all. Long story short...He spent all weeekend trying to get this brand new tire I ruined replaced!

So...is this Karma? Im a good person. I mean i just finished volunteering and this happens to me? Can someone explain this to me? I just dont get it?

Easter

I had a great weekend! I was able to visit the family is San Diego and still come home and enjoy some QT with Sean on a rare Sunday off. Momz and Popz are so funny, when I go and visit I just laugh at how much of them I have in me. We are such big kids and goofy! Some things will never change and I don't mind this one ;p Here is a pic of my mom and Reese hanging out by the BBQ waiting for those Smoked Ribs to finish.

Those Ribs were worth the wait too! So after chowing down at home I packed up the care package and my lil dog too and headed home to relax and feast some more with Sean.

We decided to go to 1,000 steps beach in Laguna and experience those stairs. This beach is sooo close to us and we have never been there,but just keep talking about it! Finally we did it! I think this might be my new Favorite spot, it's so beautiful, clean and it seemed exclusive/private. I love that! We watched the sunset and now that Sean has eyes like a hawk he pointed out a group of Dolphins to me! How awesome is that! Sitting there and just soaking up the beauty really reminds me of my DREAM...I want to fall asleep every night to the sounds of the ocean and wake up to ocean views! One day! One Day! Sean and I are going to be there ;p Cant wait! haha


We headed off to get some sushi fro dinner and to watch a movie "observe and Report" Ehh. I'll give it about 3.5 stars, not bad, but not the best! I had a couple of good laughs and thats really all that matters! haha All in all I would have to say I had a blessed weekend and love exploring new places with the love of my life!! I Thank GOD for all he continues to bless me with!

A new day

No more cleanse back to eating food, I just hate deciding what to eat! Everything out there seems processed or bad for you these days. I went to Henry's and stocked up on fresh fruit and veggies for now. I've been eating healthier since the cleanse, but I feel like I get hungry sooner and more frequently! ;/ So I constantly need to have healthy snacks around me or else I will eat whatever junk i can find! Well I have to get to work just thought I would give a little update on my after cleanse lifestyle!! haha

This weekend we are going to Catalina Island!! I cant wait I've never been there and hear it is beautiful place to be.

Day 10

So Today is my last day and could probably go longer....after these last couple of days I'm not feeling up for the challenge anymore. Very draining. I am however kinda picky about what I decide to put in my body! Good thing but also I almost dont want to eat thats how picky I am. There are just SO many processed food s out there. For now I should just stick to fruit and veggies. We'll see. I want to keep this weight off!! Im hitting the gym, hard this weekend and next week.

Day 8 and 9

These past couple of days have been really tough. I've had the worst migraine for two days and have absolutely no energy. I think I'm ready to stop tomorrow. I want to to back to day 7 when I had tons of energy.

Day 7 of the Master Cleanse

Well this weekend went well, I attempted the SWF on Saturday morning and gagged it was so horrible! That is the one thing that I am not doing during this cleanse which I probably need to. I cant drink 32 oz of salt water its so disgusting. Other than that everything else is smooth sailing. I had plenty of energy to workout. I even cooked breakfast/lunch/dinner for Sean and sat and watched him eat with no problems. I did sleep inn But other than that I am doing great have I have a ton of energy. Almost too much!! Haha Last night I couldn’t stop thinking of things I needed to get done, I stayed up till 1:30 am sewing and ironing all my clothes, then I reorganized my closet. This is usually a 2 day task for me, but last night it was merely a couple of hours. All in all I would have to say I am enjoying this amount of energy and wish I always had this feeling! I have a Pilates session tonight and am sure I will run after then on to day 8. Yay! Oh yeah I’ve already lost 8lbs.

Day 2 & 3

Wow, yesterday was truly the hardest day for me to not eat. Around 3 pm I started to eye ball Carmen’s candy dish and thinking –Just one bite! When I got home from work I was exhausted/drained and sat on the sofa for about a minute and my eyes where shut. Off and on Sean keep waking me up to his loud clapping and chanting for his favorite basketball team (Miami, Heat) finally he gets me up and we head off to Lowe’s to use our gift card we’ve been dying to use. We're getting a new light fixture for the guest bathroom. So, we pick a nice one out and he decided a Costco hot dog and a slice of pizza would be a great dinner choice. It was like Sean was making a point to really test my self control. I thought the first day was hard making him dinner, but this was nothing compared to yesterday. Just the scent of food can make me hungry just sitting in that food court at Costco watching Sean chow down was difficult. On top of that he decides to get a pizza for the week, because he is working nights…might as well! (I’m not cooking) Ok whatever we order him a pie and have to go grocery shopping because the kitchen is empty! Just because I’m not eating I shouldn’t starve Sean. So I help him shop and proudly helped him select some healthier options. Basically I had to stare at all this tempting food for about a good 45 minutes and was ready to get outta there!! Finally it’s over, we load up the car and the aroma of that yummy pizza filled the air! Errghhh. What a night…BUT I was ok. I did it, therefore if I can get thru that day then today should be a breeze!!

I prepped a concentrate amount of lemonade to bring to work today, so I can make it thru the day. Oops I forgot my Cayenne Pepper; I hope it still works. ;/ I can’t wait I till 6 pm I have a Massage with Natasha; she's the best!! Yay, 7 days to go!!

Here is a Picture of My motivation to shed some lbs.....Blue Water Keys!
