Weight

For those of you who don't know...I've been working my a** off to lose weight. I've lost 24 pounds since September. I know it sounds like very little to only lose 24 pounds in 7 months but it's been hard. I feel guilty going to the gym during the day because then I have to put Camren in the daycare there. I also feel guilty going during the weekend because I feel like I'm taking time away from Omar and the boys. So I've been going to the gym before I work. That means I wake up at 4:45am and go the gym at 5:15 and work out until about 6 then shower and get ready there and then go to work for 12 hours. It makes for a long day but this way I don't feel as guilty. I hate it that I don't get to see them before work but I see them afterwards. I'm also wearing the bodybugg. I really like it. It tells me how many calories I'm burning and I log my food intake so I know if I'm burning more than I'm consuming. I'm really proud of myself. I've accomplished my first goal which was to get down to pre-pregnancy weight. YEAH!!! Now, I have a new goal and I have 7 more pounds to lose to get to that goal. I've been making small goals so that it doesn't seem impossible. I like to tell myself that losing it slowly means that I'll be able to keep it off in the long run. Right??? Since I've been exercising, my asthma has definately decreased by a lot. I feel better too. Wish me luck! Oh, and if anyone wants to workout with me, I would love it. My workout partner moved away last month. Just let me know.

Haircut

I wanted a change before my 30th...I mean my 25th..birthday. My birthday is next week. I decided I wanted a bold haircut (bold for me anyway). I chopped most of my hair. It's about chin length. It's definately a big change for me. I love it though. It really is faster to style in the mornings especially when I get ready for work at the gym. Omar isn't really excited on the length but he hasn't said anything mean about it so that's good. I mean what can he say...it's not like it's his hair right??? I'm the one who has to style it and deal with it. I think one reason he doesn't like it is because it looks similar to Catrina's haircut. Oh well. What can I say we're twins. I will post pics once I've taken some. Just thought I'd update you. Have a nice weekend.

News

My brother-in-law Lionel's, and sister-in-law Marbella's birthdays were a couple of weeks ago. The in-laws came to town. We had a get together and Omar and I decided to get a few things before we stopped by to help Lionel celebrate his birthday. He truly was the princess of the party. Check out the pics. It was hilarious. We had a great time. For those that haven't seen what the in-laws (women) look like check out the pics.

A few days ago my sister-in-law Marbella gave us some news. Her and Kort are having a baby. YEAH!!! Another nephew/niece. How exciting. She's only about a month or two along. We are all excited.

Camren's Birthday

Camren't birthday was on the 30th of January. We celebrated his birthday at Chuck e cheese's with family. I can't believe that he is 2 already. He's been in those terrible two's for some time now. I'm at least grateful he's stopped his bad habit of biting. I think being out of daycare for 3 weeks during Christmas did him some good. He's still pinching and hitting, but one thing at a time. He's good at throwing tantrums at the worst times. He's also a charmer. He will look at you and smile and you forget that you were mad at him. Lately he's been trying to sing and it's so cute. He's been singing parts of ring around the rosie for a while but now he tries to sing a lot. He's also a talker. Granted, I can't understand about half of it, but he tries. As far as potty training goes...it's not. At least he's not scared of the toilet anymore but he just sits there and plays with the toilet paper. It's cute but he's just not ready yet. Maybe this summer I can put underwear on him and let him run around outside and if he dirties himself I'll just spray him off with the hose. Hmmm...that sounds fun to me. I'm not sure he'll like it too much though. Don't think I'll do that but it does sound fun and funny.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...

A quick update for everyone. Christmas was a lot of fun. We went to California and spent Christmas with Cat and Cory. We were in for a big surprise on Christmas Day. Cat and Cory's gift to everyone was a folder. Inside the folder, much to everyone's surprise, was a copy of their marriage certificate. WHAT!! You read correctly. They were married in November and kept it a secret. Rude right?!? Nah...they just wanted it to be a surprise. I was/am happy for them. I think it's about time. Camren and Anthony had a great time there. They both spent a lot of time playing Guitar Hero World Tour. Ok, I admit it, they weren't the only ones. We all played that game. I think Rufus and Keely were happy when we left. (Rufus and Keely are their dogs/kids). Camren kept chasing them and grabbing their short tails. They weren't too impressed, but they never hurt Camren. Always a good thing. We always love visiting. It's just too bad they didn't live closer. Oh well. We came home safely and we missed all the snow that the valley received while we were gone. I'm not sorry that I didn't have to drive in that.
