It’s been a while since I “tooted” … but I guess I need to … I want to be accountable!
A few days ago I posted about “How much weight can I lose in 3 weeks?”. If you go to the post – I blog about how seeing some friends (in 3 weeks) that I haven’t seen in a while is motivating me to get into shape. I mean I’m sure my friends wouldn’t care to see my extra flabs … right?
Well … today marks Day #5 of my getting back into exercising. I feel great! Yes, my body hurts but I already feel lighter (is it too soon to tell? Am I just imagining weight-loss?). I see my friends on Mar. 28 – so that means 19 more days to work on dropping some weight and getting rid of flabs – I no longer want to be “Flab-ulous”!
Will you cheer me on? I am blogging about weightloss – I need to lose at least 20 pounds and that is the hardest. After this meet-up with friends on Mar. 28 – I am heading to Vegas mid-May to meet-up with other friends so this is a win-win for me. Hopefully I’ll be set on an exercise routine that will help me be more fit and be “less jiggly” …
Have you struggled with weightloss? Any success stories or tips you want to share? Leave a comment on my blog – I’d love to hear them.
PS – Right now, I have been using Core Rhythms to get back into shape. I like it – I like it a LOT!

This is the kick-off video to start a cross vlogging conversation with a fellow mom Jendi from JendisJournal.com and SimpleVloggingTips.com. In this video, I simply ask her to tell me a little bit more about her, her family and her hobby, how she got started with vlogging and why she loves vlogging. I look forward to learning more about her … watching her video … and eager to answer her question.
Please take a moment to visit her at her blog and let her know you learned about her through my blog.
PS – I use my Flip Mino to record my videos for the vlogging conversation.
I am just curious … I have an opportunity to meet up with some friends who I have not seen for a looooooong time – well, I guess I should take that back – some of them I’ve seen last year – some more than a year ago and then another one more than twenty years ago. I have three weeks to try to do something to look … well … should I dare to say … “skinnier”. Panic is starting to set in. I am excited to see my friends but worried about comments … well, maybe they won’t say it out loud – maybe they’ll just think it and hopefully my psychic abilities won’t let me hear their thoughts. *sigh*
Ok – so here’s the deal … once I realized that I only had 3 weeks to look better … I started to jump back into my exercise routine with the hopes that I would lose a lot some extra flab. Who am I kidding huh? Well, this I guess is a win-win cause I need to lose some extra baggage to begin with plus – come Mid-May, I am going to Vegas for a highschool reunion. So I guess, this will be a good start for me.
If you have been following my blog, you’ll know last year I attempted to “get-into” an exercise routine. I did good only for a short while and then … I lost interest – life got in the way and not exercising seemed easier. I dug the exercise videos out and started again yesterday with a 35-minute Latin Cardio workout. It felt good after and my body didn’t hurt. Maybe because I have been taking Latin dance lessons for 3 weeks now. My hubby gave that to me as a birthday gift – “dance lessons”. I always wanted to get back into dance. Today I did half an hour of dance exercise. I hope I can keep on doing this and see what kind of change it does to my body.
Will you root for me? I will attempt to blog about exercise and weight loss and hope that by doing so … I feel encouraged to continue on. If I am up to it, I may even add some vlog posts about it. Wish me luck!
PS – Just in case, you are curious about what exercise video I am talking about … it’s Core Rhythms .
Yesterday, I was digging through a box in the bedroom and I found a fun picture I wanted to share. I entitled it “Say Cheese”. This was a photo that was taken in 2001 when my little one was 3. When I saw it again after so many years … I couldn’t help but smile and be teary-eyed at the same time. Who would have thought that my little premmie would grow up so handsome so quickly?
Here’s my “not-so-little one” now …
I remember when he was 3. When he would always just give me hugs and kisses for no reason and say … “I love you Mommy”. Yes … he still hugs me (sometimes), he still kisses me (sometimes) and once in a long while … he’ll say “I love you” but only when I say it first. *sigh* – I wish we can easily go back. How I used to love to have his little arms around my neck … how he would kiss my cheeks endlessly … how I would laugh at the sound of his contagious giggles …. I better stop right now … cause I’m starting to cry.
