Spring is Here

Who knew Spring has arrived? The birds are talking and the sun is shinning, oh wait! I live in San Diego. It seems to always be like this every day. We didn't get much weather difference between summer, winter, spring and fall. I am expecting summer to be blazing hot as balls though so stay tune to find out.

Happy Spring! 

and because the bikini challenge starts tomorrow 



Keep it short & sweet today as I need to finish up some work and get things done because we have a busy weekend starting tomorrow.

Happy Thursday! 

So What Wednesday

I am bringing you another edition of So What Wednesday on this beautiful Hump Day!  

So What...

• I thought today was Thursday or Friday just to find out it truly is hump day. Way to go hump day to ruin the fun at 5am. 
• I am finally using my facebook fan pages more & I can't seem to get any followers. Go figure right? I guess its better than not using them & having tons of people on there. 
• I finally did a side by side of my progress since March 5 & you can see the difference even though I have yet to lose any weight 
• My Cali girl won't get her stitches removed until Monday afternoon - who wants to make bets that she'll have them out before than? 
• My sister flies in Saturday morning & I am recruiting her boyfriend to pick her up so I don't have to waste the gas 
• That I pretty much have the rest of the year planned out with vacations - BRING IT ON! 
• that I am not really sure where this post is going so therefore have a great Wednesday! 

Just because we all love to laugh

Swimsuit Season Is Around The Corner

Some of you might think I am crazy for doing this but let's face it people summer is ALMOST here. Unlike all those gym rats though, I have not been working on my summer body during winter months until recently, as in I am 3 weeks into my new program.

I am teaming up with Jess, Marcy & Val for this awesome swimsuit Challenge. 

My goal by October 1st is to lose 30 pounds and it is completely doable if I stick to my workouts & eating "clean." I am hoping to document this process but if I so happen to forget to do so on this blog.. come follow the path on Journey Back To Jessica

Do you want to join in too?

The rules are simple. 

1. Get a really small bikini.

2. Take a picture in this really small bikini

3. Work your ass off for the next 90 days before summer to look beyond sexy in this really small bikini laying on the beach

The girls will be checking in weekly on their blogs so make sure you follow each of them for some motivation. You are welcome to check in with them weekly, biweekly, monthly or just once at the end. The reason for the before picture is for you to see how much you can change in just a short 90 days. 

For this challenge I will be finishing Jamie Eason live Fit Trainer program that I am currently on with taking one week off to move my little sister from Minnesota to California. I have recruited the husband to go to the gym with me to help me with the workouts so I do them correctly. 

Come join the fun & let's rock this summer. 

Weekend Recap: Post With Lack Of Pictures

I am here to confess and epic blog fail.. I didn't take pictures every second of this weekend to show what I did. Please accept my apology for this weekend. 

Friday:  I can honestly say we didn't do much. I worked during the day. Finally caught up on ALL my work that needed to get done before the weekend started. 

My babies are best friends. Yes that is Cali and Trigger laying together and Simba on top of the pillows. I am so happy that Cali is returning to normal and should have her stitches out this Friday which means she will be ready to play with the others at the doggy day camp when I board her. 

Saturday: The hubby had to work all day so it was just E-man & me. He had his teeball pictures which he just happens to have lost his front tooth this week. [The tooth fairy forgot to come Thursday night for him so she magically appeared Friday morning while he was getting dressed to give him $1.52] & than later in the day we had a game. Otherwise I just hung out at home, got some cleaning done, and watched lifetime movies. I know, don't get too jealous! 

Sunday: This was the day of all days. We hit the gym right after breakfast. I officially completed day 15 of Jamie Eason Live Fit program. Hopefully soon I can do a post before I get to far and forget. You can follow along in my journey on my page. After the gym, we hit up GNC which marks the 3rd time I have gone to get the cookies n cream quest bar and no luck! Anyone want to mail me one? I will love you forever!! I really want to try it before I order a whole box from Quest. Than it was off to Costco, where we spent $400 on things we needed. Thankfully this only happens once every 6-7 months so it was okay. Once home, I was talking to E-man about the chicken house we saw and he said he wanted it. So insert Costco trip #2 to buy it + catching fire + tortillas.  

Over all the weekend was great. I am happy to have my dog back to normal. Happy to start week 3 of the program. 

Coming this week:

Today: Work || Gym || Teeball game

Tuesday: Work || Gym || appointments 

Wednesday: Work || Gym || maybe dinner date with the hubs? 

Thursday: Work || Gym || probably bed early

Friday: Work || Gym || Clean || get excited 

Saturday: Sister will be here to visit! 

Ps. Happy St. Patty's Day! Sadly, I will not be taking part in green beer because this girl is trying to build her summer body in the weeks we have left to build it. 

Some Simple Letters

Dear Cynthia, I can't believe in a week you will be in my house again. Let the madness begin. Here is to finding your future and finding happiness. Dear Alex, as much as I wanted to punch you last night because you wouldn't move and your dog wouldn't shut up, i love you. The gym with you is fun. secretly I guess I look forward to it sometimes. Dear Workout, we have past week 2 and Sunday starts week 3. I can't believe I am actually sticking to this and praying I start to see some changes soon. Dear Sleep, I really wish we met last night. This whole thing of not going to sleep until 4am really makes for a grumpy person in the morning. Please lets meet today early. Dear Cali, I am so happy to see you finally doing better. The first few days home were a bit rough but I am glad to see you perking up a bit and finally eating. I promise you it's for the best for all of us. Dear blog, I am loving being back full time now. Thank you to all the readers and the sweet comments. Dear weekend, you are full of teeball stuff. I can't say I am excited about it because it seems to go way to fast but I know that means I am that much closer to seeing Cy next weekend. 

Happy Friday Ya'll

When I Was Your Man

Do you love country music? Who am I kidding, who doesn't love country music? Recently one of my favorites, Sara Evans came out with a new cd. I just so happened to be listening to her cd release party on XM radio on my way to the gym and couldn't believe she sang When I was your man. It probably is my new favorite song. If anyone knows where I can download this please share. 

That is all I have for you today. 

Back to work I go.

Happy Friday Eve

So What Wednesday - Randoms

This week I am saying So What If...

I am not really sure what to write about so I am going to throw together some randoms for ya. 

• My poor baby girl was home yesterday for not even 30 mins and was throwing up. we had to wash the dog bed, clean the floors and make sure she was laying down. Later she crawled under my bed and didn't move until this morning where it all repeated again. She has yet to eat and the pain pills I got her she wants nothing to do with it. 

• Meanwhile when she was under my bed, you bet I was laying on the floor for a good hour loving on her. I felt much better after the kisses. 

• Yesterday was day 10 of the Jamie Eason program. I have yet to lose any weight but I am loving lifting and hoping to start the weight loss soon. Two more weeks until i add some cardio to the mix. BRING IT ON! I am hoping to start blogging about it soon but I am making sure I am sticking with the program first

• I am thinking of changing today and tomorrow out because hubby is super sick and I am super tired that it might be best to just do day 11 tomorrow instead of half assing it today. 

• My dream is to start running sometime soon. I want to be able to run a mile again than I will go from there. Maybe even get one of those nike plus watches

• I am only working the preschool 2 days a week now. I am loving it! Thank you Jesus I don't have to be there so often

• My baby sister will be here a week from Saturday... BRING IT!! I can't wait to have her here than two weeks later she is moving with me. 

There you have it. Some randoms for this hump day.
