My P90x Update

Hi im in Week 3 Day 1 starting today. I have not done the workout everday so I dont expect to see my goal reached in 90 days. Although it would be nice if that were to happen. So far I believe that I have been doing an excellent job in logging my food and exercise. I have not lost as much as I wish I could have but, hey I have lost a little. The highlight of my journey is that my mom told me that Im looking thinner. So I may not have lost pounds, but I have maybe lost inches, and I'll take that. Any loss is a great loss. Will post more pics after Week 3 is complete.

Super busy MOM to the rescue

It feels so good to finally have some time where I can actually rest. From kids, to schools, daughter cheerleading, boys sports, end of school parties and graduations, to summer camp, to summer vacations, helping my husband with his school work, update facebook statues, keeping my 2 year old busy, cooking, spring cleaning, and everything else.. this is what has had me consumed for the last past months. I can now get back to what I love doing, which is writing my thoughts, relaxing and sipping my wine. Kids are due to come back from summer camp, and grandma visits, and football, cheerleading, school shopping, first days of school, teacher conferences will all start back up again.. Some how I will find time for my self.. LOL. we shall see..feels good to be back though!

Encouraging Others

Why do people intentionally try to hurt or attack others. Is it because they are hurting themselves and they want others to be miserable too. Or is it because they get some kind of rush by trying to make people feel less than what they are. People with their jealous and envious hearts degrade and tear people down, instead of being positive and encouraging one another. My personal feelings is that I always try to encourage people to do better. I have not reached my full potential yet, but I am getting there. I know it is hard journey because I have been down that road, and I understand that stumbling blocks get in the way of progress. So, I encourage people to keep pushing though those road blocks and you can accomplish what you set out to do. I would never discourage somebody from doing what they feel is right. But I will offer advice based on my past experiences. Its just my opinion, and not always the right one. Tearing down a person self confidence can not only make you look like a bad person, but it can prevent a person from blooming to they full potential, especially if they are weak minded. Staying positive is the best thing you can do in life. If you focus on the negative, you will be a lonely person inside and out.

Asian Cuisine Nights

YES.. me and my husband made that!! Tonight was sort of rough, but we got through it. I have been wanting to try to make egg rolls for some time now. Just never was in the mood, or really never knew how to do it. My friend made some egg rolls and told me that it wasnt so hard. So finally after 2months of saying that I was gonna try it. I just did. Well my husband helped. For dinner we had sweet and sour pork, fried rice and egg rolls. It really was pretty easy. We did burn the first 2, because the fire was too high. We had to open the doors and cut fans on. The kids were complaining about there eyes burning. Sorry..lol. But the end result was great. The food was delicious in my opinion, and by the way everybody else cleaned they plate, Im guessing it was good to them too. For some reason, my husband never like asian food. So I was suprised that he offered to help cook. I must say our team work together produce a mighty meal. Also, it was good time for us to spend together, and it fun. We must try this again.

Jeremiah will be 2 in less than 48hrs.

Jeremiah Jamahl Thomas aka "J-MI" will be 2 years old on Sunday, December 6. I can not believe how much he has grown in such a short period. As most babies he has made tremendous progress since coming into this world. His little brain is so advanced, its so crazy. Im amazed that he can count to 5, he recognizes some letters. Like "J, T and B"! He has also developed his own little character. He lets it be known when he is not happy! I still love him though, even through his little temper tantrums. He sings songs when he is a happy. He and I were in the car listening to the radio and Twista song came on.. and I heard Jeremiah sing "come and make it rain down on me." I wish I had a video camera at the time. It was too funny. Happy 2nd Birthday Jeremiah!!

What Im thankful for...

My life... overall, I have had a great life. All the life lessons I've been through, whether I passed or failed the test... I'm still here, live and well.

My God.. who gave me life. I love him with all my heart, and even though I don't listen and do my own things sometimes, he still has my back. He picks me up when I fall, and blesses me continuously. I just want to let him know that I'm truly truly thankful, to have him in my heart.

My husband... who I love ever so dearly. We have our ups and downs, but deep down inside I have a love for him so strong, that no one could ever take. Thank you for being the man u are, my beautiful, strong man!!

My kids...I am so blessed to have such wonderful, loving, talented kids, who love me dearly. They are the reason that I keep pushing for a better tomorrow. I only want the best for them and for them to best they can be.

My mom... Words cannot explain how blessed I am to have a wonderful, supportive, caring and loving mother. Although I didn't listen some times, she still had my back and offer kinds supportive words, when I messed up. Thank you mom, for being there and instilling God's word in me, so that I can stand on my own and being the strong woman I am today.

My family.... thank you for the phone calls, text message, and good food that we are about to eat!!LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
