Weight Loss

Why is it so hard to diet? I started to work out on march 3 2012. I went down 2 sizes but haven’t seen much of a weight loss. Now I don’t know if it’s because I don’t eat much.? Or is it because I don’t eat healthy enough? Or because I’m doing something wrong. It is so frustrating to try to do something and not accomplish it specially when it’s something your heart desires so badly. Maybe that’s what the problem is.? Maybe I’m dreaming 2 big and shouldn’t? But if I don’t give my self some type of goal how would I ever achieve it? This is so confusing and frustrating I’m finding my self thinking about it all the time. And checking 2. I think I step on the scale about 4-5 x a week lol. Now I know that can’t be too good. Maybe it’s the anxiety that’s keeping me from seeing the weight loss everyone sees but me? I wish I had answers to all my questions. Hahahaha.. Anyone out there feel the same way? Anyone have any advice?

April is Autism Awareness Month :)

Remembering for a Cause

April is Autism Awareness Month <3

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today. ( Autism Society )

On July 27 2010 I read a blog of a childhood friend (samua Cherry)and I couldn’t help my self as tears was flowing down on my face, my heart just ached for her, her family and everyone out there that are going through this tough time in their lives. I can’t imagine all that they have to face day-to-day.  I always had in my heart to help people, to me it feels like a calling. My heart feels the need to get to know all about it and make it every way possible to help, not only Autism but everything else, HIV, Drugs, all of it. I believe if a person has a strong support, a friend, they can get through it. I haven’t done much to help anyone with anything and every time I see something like this affect a person that I know and care about it hurts. It’s a feeling I guess I can’t explain, I just know this is something God wants me to do because when I hear about it or see it i get that urge to get out there and help. Then i get that thought in my head, “but how” sometimes with the littlest things, an encouraging word, an anonymous donation to a cause can make a difference. I hope to be able to make lots of those difference

My Heart and Prayers are with all the families in need of a miracle

Believe… Better Days are still to come <3

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW

Author: Forest 

A Hundred Years From Now

it will not matter what my bank account was,
the sort of house I lived in, the kind of car I drove..
But the world may be different ..because I was important in the life
of a child.

{ Vacation } = Family Fun Times

Every year my Family goes on vacation. Sometimes we drive and other times we fly. This year  we decided to fly down to Florida to visit Mickey  and Miney :)

Because my husband and I work full time and tickets are really high on prices. The difference it makes if you fly on a weekend vs weekday. My husband decided to save just about $100 per ticket ( we are a family of 5 ) so we booked a Tuesday flight for 8:50pm. we got to the airport a little early the flight was a little late. We ended up leaving at 9pm. It’s a 3 hours flight. Now a word of advice if you are traveling with small children, I don’t know maybe (0-4 yrs old) Don’t choose a flight this late, your child will be exhausted and will cry for 3hrs straight and the people behind + in front of you … Actually everyone on the plain, not only will hate you but they will all get a migraine for hours after. Your poor kids also don’t deserve that

and yes there was people flying with little ones, poor kids cried from Boston all the way to Orlando, non-stop. I felt so bad for the kids. when we fly we all get that painful ear pop that sometimes hurts a lot, Now imagine a baby ( no more then 1 month ) feeling that for hours. Come on mom’s common sense. If adults feel it never mind baby’s. If you have to travel at least pick a time after a nap when you know your kids will be happy. Putting your little ones thorough that is just torture.

We flew Jet Blue

It was nice comfortable seats, even though the seats didn’t lay back not even an inch LOL. It had radio and T.V. on every seats. The only problem was the channels on some of the seats didn’t work

It wouldn’t change and Gabe was so upset and so was I, since the channel he was stuck on showed a lady giving some guy a “” Hand Help”" at a Park in public. It showed her hands down his pants and the movement and at the bottom of the screen the words ” whore” then when she finished it showed her cleaning her hands on the grass. I was completely disgusted and I made Gabe close his eyes and take a nap. Unbelievable. That was horrible. I should have said something but in the panic mode I forgot.

 Other than that it was good. Usually on flights like this they only serve you a snack ( peanuts) and a small cup with lots of ice and some beverage. Jet Blue offered various types of snacks and drinks, they give you a full can, dunkin donuts freshly brewed coffee ( and I so needed it ) List of Snacks they serve

PopCorners Popcorn Chips
Terra Blues Potato Chips
Linden’s Chocolate Chip Cookies
King Nut Fancy Nut Mix
Stauffer’s Animal Crackers
Quaker Multigrain Fiber Crisp

I believe we arrived in Orlando it was around midnight. We went straight to the Hotel
