I used to...

I feel like I need to get into a sport or back into boxing or a martial art. Today I was talking to some people and I stated that I used to do Tae Kwon Do and then later it came up that I used to box. Now, mind you I had to basically quit training. I was faced with an ultimatum... either work and go to college or work and box. It was seriously a super tough decision and I decided to chose college. It still makes me sad because I wonder what if...
I love the sport so much and enjoyed being a part of it.
The Mosley vs. Mayweather fight was on tonight and it was a good one... I just wish it would have been a closer fight. Mosley used to be my favorite boxer. Last weekend I watched the heavyweight fight and Cris lost again... I just think he needs to work harder on his training, he has such enormous potential and I don't think he sees it. See Cris and I used to fight out of the same boxing club and I know he can be the best, he just needs to put forth more effort.
So, I need to find something to get into... jui jitsu is becoming very popular but just isn't my cup of tea. I was thinking maybe karate, karate is similar to Tae Kwon Do but is a bit different.
OK, my rant is over.

My New Not-so-Sinful Delight

So I am trying to wathc what I eat but I still have a sweet tooth. So, I was at Fry's and I notice that the Yoplait Caramel Deights were on sale so I get a pack to try and whoa are the YUMMY!!!!

The best part is they are only 100 calories... oh yeah!!!

Goody Spin Pin

Whoa... I am so excited about these. I hope they work, they are spin pins by Goody. I read that they do the work of 20 bobby pins.

I am so excited to go buy some to try!

UGH.... School!

So I am very tired today and not interested in going to class. I do realize that I need this class and this is a bridge I must cross to get to the next level. I have found this class rather difficult and I am a bit lost... hopefully I will gain understanding tonight in my four hours of class that must be endured.

I am in a learning team room waiting for the people in my learning team to arrive. I have been waiting here for approx. 20 minutes and no one has shown up. I am debating on whether to just go to class or not... hmmmmm. I can't wait for tonight to be over.

I need an education!

I need an education!

I need an education!

I need an education... to meet my goals!

TO TAN OR NOT TO TAN

Ok... so I am pretty pale and don't tan very easily. Before our wedding I went to the tanning salon almost every day... but when I look back at the pictures I still look white as hell. I have now turned to using lotions. I have tried many different kinds that cost anywhere from 4.95 to 39.95 and so far I like the cheaper lotions to tell you the truth.

Too Faced Tanning Bed in a Tube

This product does work BUT it is very shiny and doesn't make that much of a chance... also, be careful if you are wearing white or have light colored sheets. Expect to pay around $20.00-$29.00.

Jergens FOAMING Lotion

This works but make sure you completely rub it in because you will be streaks and missed spots. Also make sure you rinse your hands but do it carefully because if you get water on your arms to will be able to see white spots the next day. The cost is usually around $8.00.

And the winner is.... Jergens natural Glow Daily Moisturizer

This one is by far my favorite! There is a large margin for error if you are a first time self tanner. It also makes your legs and other body parts super smooth and you can see a difference. The only draw back is that it takes a few times to see a difference but once you apply it one or two days you are good. This will cost you around $8.00 but can often find generic brands for around $5.00.




Have a tannerific Day!

Summer is just around the corner and if you live where I do, it's already short and dress weather.

If every word I said could make you laugh

I'd talk forever

Forever, forever

I'll be so happy loving you

Introducing Miss Atalie Belle

So, one week ago today my god daughter was brought into this world. I was lucky enough to leave work early so I could be at the hospital with Michelle and Junior.

If you don't know me very well, you wouldn't know how fearful of hospitals, blood, needles, nurses, etc I am. In fact I am having a tough time just writing the words. Anyway so I did my best to keep my cool and I was even ok enough to take some pictures.

Here is a picture of Michelle hours before giving birth.

It's a Girl!!! Juniors Mom brought this for Michelle.

Michelle holding little Miss Atalie ( my little monkey )

Here she is!!! Calm and alert.

Junior feeding Atalie for the first time.

I am so excited she is finally here!

Great Day, Two Great Games

So today was the last day of football before the Super Bowl and The Colts and The Saints will meet in Miami to head off in the Super Bowl.

Jets vs. Colts
This game was hard for me because I strongly dislike the entire Manning family, but after last weekend I HATE the Jets. So I was torn but I decided to root for the Colts and they won.

Vikings vs. SAINTS
Obviously I was going for the Saints! I am a die hard Charger fan but Drew Brees will always have a place in my heart so I always want the Saints to win... unless they are playing the Chargers.

The Saints completely deserve this win, they were faced with bad calls all evening and finally caught a break toward the end. Did you know that the Saints have NEVER been to a Super Bowl? That's right 40 years and no Super Bowls.

GO DREW!!!!

GO SAINTS!!!!

This one is for Heidi

So a few weeks ago Heidi, Caleb and I decided that we would update our blogs everyday. Yeah, so that didn't happen but I am going to try and remember. Heidi reminded me tonight that I needed to post... here ya go Heidi.

What should I talk about today?

Ok, Let's talk about losing weight. So I have been working my butt off at the gym and I am starting to notice a little bit of weight loss. Recently other people have started to notice too. I am NO WHERE near where I would like to be, but I think I am on track. I also went to see a dietician and I am set to fit in my goal shorts before Kevin and I go to Catalina Island.

Well I must now get to bed so I can wake up early and go to the gym.
