Okay I give up!
Mom keeps cooking these delicious dishes ... and I'm having quite the difficult time having "just a little" ... my eyes and stomach do not know the meaning.
So forget the diet ... "XXL" size coming through!!!!!
I think they are going to have to roll me down the aisle at Florian's wedding ... oh well, at least I'll be a happy and full bridesmaid :) Oh and since Ross is doing my hair ... at least my hair will look good!

How can I diet when I have Mama Nellie's home cooked meals? This is too much to ask I think. How does one say, "no" or "i'll just have a little" - yeah right !!!!
On a side note, I borrowed some dresses from Darleen to wear to an upcoming wedding ... and to be honest, I've been so scared to try them on. Darleen was so sweet that she sent me a couple of them ... and when I was looking at them I was thinking ... "Oh Dear Lord ... am I going to fit in these?!?!" I think I'll wait about a couple days before the wedding to try them on ...
... Yikes, I hope I can fit into my bridesmaid dress for Florian's wedding too!
I think it's too hard to diet when you've got Mama Nellie's home cooked meals ;)

I haven't posted in a couple days ... so here goes:
Sunday
Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there!
On Sunday night I went out jogging, and luckily I brought my cell phone b/c I received the cutest phone call ... guess who was on the other line ... Lauryn!!! So as I was huffing and puffing up the hill ... Lauryn was keeping me well entertained. After I got off the phone, I had a great run! It's amazing at how fast she's growing ... soon she'll be in school!
Wednesday
Yesterday was "date day" ... Love and I spent the whole day & evening downtown walking around ... checking out the jazz festival ... and just spending time together. The weather was so warm that by the time when I came home I took my sandals off ... only to find my feet red and burnt from the sun! Oh well, it was well worth it ... we had so much fun!
Thursday
We just came from the airport and mom and dad are here from Surrey!! So y'all know what that means ... my diet is out the window and I've got Mama Nellie's home cooked meals once again ... thank you Jesus!!! Nothing beats your mom's home cooked meals ...
Also - big shout out to Nicky and Mel -- Happy Anniversary !!! We miss you guys ...

One of the things I like to do to relax is it curl up on my couch (or in my bed) with a warm cup of green tea and a book.
Right now I am reading "Stalingrad" by Antony Beevor - for you history buffs, this book is a must read!
Sometimes when my husband and i have some spare time, I'll curl up with my book and he with our lap-top ... from time to time I will share an interesting part of my book ... and then he will show me a new camera he wants to buy ;)

So today I got off my lazy roller coaster and went out for a jog.
I decided to try and take a different route, so I jogged to this different community and of course when I got to the destination that I knew ... I got disoriented going back and was unsure which way to turn! I eventually found my way home but now my knee is hurting and I'm limping all over the house.
Hopefully I'll be able to jog tomorrow, if not then I'll just go for a long walk ... I have one month to get into shape for Florian's wedding.
I'm determined!

(0) commentsThere's this cinnamon bun in my fridge calling my name.
I can already feel it melt in my mouth.
But I'm resisting. I'm fighting the dark side ...
I was even downstairs with it in my hand ready to eat ... and then I thought, what a waste ... I had been eating healthy all day long and then I'm going to spoil it with something sweet and fattening at 12:30 a.m.
Ah ... but imagine how good it would taste ...
I should stick pictures of celebrities and models all over my kitchen so I wouldn't be tempted to eat.
Ummn ... nah, that won't solve anything ... I would just go out to eat instead

I think my laundry shrunk all my clothes. For some reason they feel tighter.
Wait a minute.
I think maybe it's not the laundry, but I think I just gained the weight.
((my husband is beside me as I write this and he is reminding me that i have a wedding to go to and i need to fit into my dress ... yikes))
*sigh*
I find that my weight is like a yo-yo ... I can work out good for 2 weeks, and the stop for a month ... then I'm back at 10 pounds heavier.
Why is it that it's so hard to lose the weight and to work out? Why can't I just go to sleep one night and wake up as pretty and slim as Jessica Alba?

The house is quiet ...
My husband is picking up my brother-in-law at the airport ...
Everyone else is sleeping ...
... so here I am ... in my house where it is quiet and I'm alone with my thoughts ...
what do you think I'm thinking about?
Well, as sappy as it may sound, I'm thinking of my husband.
Whenever I think of JC, I think "Thank you God" ... I always remember that this is a blessing and that JC is a gift to me from God.
When I look back at our life, I think "WOW! How else could we have gotten together if it wasn't for Him?" I know I write about this a lot in my blog ... but it's something that's constantly on my mind.
I'm a firm believer in always giving thanks to God for my blessings ... I know that all that I have in my life - my family, my friends, my everyday - is because of our Lord.
So whenever I'm alone, or whenever I have a spare moment ... even if it's something simple as walking to the mail box - I always give thanks for my blessings ...
Being alone with my thoughts ain't such a bad thing b/c it gives me my one-on-one time with God ... I pray and talk to God all day long (sometimes it looks like I'm talking to myself!!) - 99% of the time I fall asleep I'm talking and praying ... I always feel comforted in knowing that there's someone greater watching over me and my family.

Our surprise visit to Surrey was only for a couple days and it seems to have sped by way too fast.
I cherished every moment I had with our family ... so much that I was feeling cranky and emotional a day or two before we left for home. But my husband and my mom were really comforting and telling me that we would be back in just a few weeks for Florian's wedding. But those few weeks Isaiah will be even bigger ... my little nephew is growing by the moment!
When I went to the Losanez' house the evening I arrived, Ninang Luz was screaming and Ninong Cesar looked confused ... the moment was priceless. When I saw Lauryn (gosh she's so beautiful) she didn't recognize me ... I was joking with Mel that it was like a "stranger-danger" moment .... so it took some warming up. We later went to the Faron house ... and seeing Ninang Lu after her surgery and seeing how surprised she was ... we both got all teary-eyed when we were hugging.
I was telling JC that coming home and seeing our families really makes me all emotional ... I mean I think of them everyday ... and I miss everyone like crazy ... but then when I see them - I realize that I miss them even more than I thought ... then I get all emotional about it ;)

(1) commentsMy husband, myself and my in-laws surprised our family in Surrey with a visit last week.
The look on my parents face was priceless!
I've been really missing my nephew and just dying to hug him ... here's a picture of my first day with Isaiah.
Since we only had a couple days in Surrey I made sure to spend as much time with Isaiah ... everytime my parents would be holding him, I would steal him from them ...
This little boy is growing way too fast!
