Ok well Im writing this as I sip my blueberry/green tea .......wth one sugar packet =) Last night I went back to weight watchers meeting near my home.........I was dreading it because at first I havent been sticking to my plan for about a month last weigh in I was only 5lbs from my goal so I was excited I was 130..............well as always I rewarded myself with a burger (habit I need to break) this was on Feb 11th ....since then Ive been off and on and ended up gaining 4lbs!!! ughhh which I was upset because Ive been wking soooo hard to loose!! I stared being 148lbs.........so imagine my hard wk going dwn the drain!! So I started wking out 6days a week did spin class on sunday for 1hr 30min and I looked it up online for wkout ts its 13pts!!!!! WHAT!! my group leader said I will probable gain if I go under my daily pts also..........well anywho when I walked in last night it felt good to know they were wondering how I was .......made me feel welcome and I said well I gained so I didnt want to come in and they reassured me they are not judging and they are there for support (I need to say I do have a great group there) so the leader took out her books and mentioned that she also almost quit a few times and gained so I know its ok..........but over all I lost 2!!! yes its not were I wanted to be but its a loss and I hope to keep loosing Im sticking to this and last night I was soooo hungry I almost went for a burger but I went to Subway instead got me a whole wheat turkey wth lettuce cucumbers and bell peppers no mayo or anything I did get the sun chips but man theres barely anything in there!! haha so I guess it was ok so my next week goal is 1-2lbs .........thanks for reading!!!

Wking out

Ok well I have been trying to loose weight since gosh I can remember!! Well so far this week (since sunday) me and my hubby have wked out everyday he didnt want to go last night and honesly neither did I it was already like 5:30pm and we needed to get Gena who was picked up by my inlaws so we can go wkout..........so I made myself get dressed and to my surprise he got ready and we went =) weve been doing more weights than cardio which is ok but for me I love cardio!!! I feel if I do weights I wont loose but gain (which is true at first) well so far so good I feel great but I have to admit.........Ive been eating some things that arent wonderful for me....but Im totally good ALL day!!! so I say and think its ok.......I dont over do it but I do give in to some sweets what do you think?? Well I cant give a number of loss but I knw I gained 3lbs thats what Im trying to loose PLUS the last 5!!! it happens cloths still fit good so Im not stresed!! well thanks for reading!!

I always look at my girls and see how different they are!!! OMG!! if I look up their astrological signs and look at the personalities its amazing how almost true it is!! Im not the type who follows it to the T but I do look at it and go wow!! Akira is my Gemini..........heres her personality:

In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large.


Akira DOES love to gab!! she gets in trouble in class because of it!!! its her only issue in class shes very well behaved but if you know her she loves to talk if you dont know her give her 2 seconds shell start talking about everything!! that girl wont stop and doesnt think before she speaks so she at times says things that might offend but its because shes very forward were use to it=) she is also at times detached doesnt show much emotion she loves people but doesnt tell them its just how she is but when she wants to be shes a very lovey douby person ...aww my baby girl


Now as for Genesis shes my little Leo...........my family is full of them!! my mom sisiters and my dad who passes away (rip) heres her personality:

There are three levels of soul-evolution of the Leos. The highest is represented by the Sphinx; wise beyond their years and great teachers to others. The second is the Lion, King of the Jungle, ruled by ego but always protective and sustaining of those they love. The last is the Lion Cub, immature and undeveloped, frightened by anything new. These Leos cling to others (in the mode of the child not wanting to leave its mother's side).) They can't bear to be alone. No matter what level they have attained, all Leos are trendsetters, leaders and adventurers. Their weakness is their pride.

Gena loves to show us new things shes learned like in Ballett!! shell show her uncle or grandparents what she does in class all the time!! also yes shes very protective of people she loves and cherishes us and if were playig and someone gets hurt shell tell you to be nice and to not hurt the person again but shell be stern yet gentle....she doesnt like new things especially food.......but thats a whole new blog!!! she will cling on to us when shes somewere new until she feels comfortable she use to be stuck on our legs all the time as a toddler......and yes she has much pride shes not willing to admit her faults but will if its the bitter end ........

See my girls are so opposite!! but I love them to pieces!! thanks for reading!

March of Dimes for Babies

Many of us have never experienced a loss of a child or have had a premature baby......in the United States there are 1 in 8 babies born prematurly .March of Dimes was stared 70 yrs ago by our former President FDR which many of us probable did or didnt know had Polio as a child.The former President wanted to start an organization that will help raise awareness and money for the cure or prevention of Polio the organization was called Infintile Peralysis Association.....later renamed March of Dimes for Babies.To provide the proper care for a premature baby it cost millions......thats just for one!! Imagine all the little ones born everyday!!! 1 in 8!! I personally dont have the experience of having a premature child I have been blessed to have healthy girls but I do have family and friends who have had to go through the agony of not knowing if they would take a baby home or if their child would grow up to be normal......the money raised through March of Dimes also helps fund the New Born screenings done at the hospital they now have a law that each baby born is to be checked for 14 different metabolic diseases before being allowed to go home!! when before it was lucky if they checked for 7!!! .We have come a long way in 70yrs lets continue to add more miracles and please donate just click on the right hand side it can make a difference in a babies life and their parents........also you can find a location for a walk and you can also raise money that way....any little bit helps!! thank you!
