I finally put up March 2010 theme. I love this theme! Here is the link to my new weight loss blog!

I am a busy girl!

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Matthew and I joined a fitness center. I have been wanting to go back to the gym for awhile now. Since I need to loose 25 pounds (18 because I lost 7 already!) I need some sort of work out. So I was going to call the old gym we went to and find out there rates and I just got off the phone with a good friend of mine and told me about this gym that her friends mother goes too. Her friends mom also had gastric bypass surgery with the same doctor I am going too! What are the odds of that?? So she told me about this fitness center she goes to and gave me some information about it. So after getting off the phone, I called the fitness center and set up appointment. At that time, I was going to be the only one joining, but since Matthew is the one that handles the bills, he asked to join along too.

This was the same night I had my sleep study on. Oye, what a pain in the ass that was. It was a very bad experience. I never want to go through that again. I am so glad that it is over and done with. I did not sleep what so over. All I did was stare at the walls and did a lot of thinking about things. Finally 6 am came and I was able to go home. The tech told me she noticed that I didn’t sleep at all and that I might have to retake the test as I did not sleep. Yeah well if you had cords all over your body, head and face would you sleep? I really hope that I don’t need to.

I went to pick up breakfast for Matthew and took a shower and went to bed. I got about 4 hours asleep. I made some phone calls and called the lady for the fitness center if we could change the time to 6pm. I explained to her what had happened and she told me it was okay and come down. So we did and now we are members! Its really nice because its month to month. No contracts. The center has 3 pools, a hot tub, steam room, sauna and tons of equipment. They also have two studios and spin bike room. The locker room is so nice! Matthew and I are so happy with the decision that we joined. I wish we had found out about this place sooner. The lady that signed us up has just lost 150 pounds and told me that I can do it. She also told me once I hit my goal that they would love to do a story on me. I am really excited about that. I am hoping some business opt would come out of that too!

So today we went to the gym for the first time. I did 5 miles on the bike! I have never ever done that before!! I still don’t understand where the heck my energy came from. I didn’t do all 5 miles all at once, but I broke it up with different equipment there. I am so excited to hit the pool. I want to do some laps! I do have to say though that I think I hurt my ankle as it has been bothering me since we left. Maybe the water will help it. I plan on hitting up the hot tub.

I will be updating my new theme on here tomorrow! I also have a new domain for my weight loss journey! I will post that here too tomorrow! I also re did my review site! A really nice company has contacted me to do some possible you tube videos and test some more products! Yeah for free products!!

When you can’t find it, make it yourself

I found this really nice organizer at the thrift store for a dollar. I wanted something where I could put all my dates in there as well as what I am eating day to day. Its nice and small which is great to put in my purse or just carry with me. I haven’t been able to find the inserts for the organizer thought. I am guessing that’s why the person go rid of it. So I decided to make my own. I went ahead and measured everything out, so that I know the correct size!

This weekend was a complete waste! I am not going to get into it. I needed somethings that I needed to get done, and that never happened. Grr. I did get all the things I need to get done for my sleep study Tuesday. So I guess it wasn’t that much of a wasted weekend! I got 10 tubes of blood taken on Saturday for my surgery in July. After that I felt so sleepy and didn’t want to do anything. Matthew treated me to Chilis and I wanted to go to Target but because I was so sleep we didn’t go.

I am still a little sick. I got a cough and runny and stuffy nose. Matthew is still sick too. Die colds die! I hope we feel better soon. There is another snow storm coming I heard on Wednesday. Enough snow already!! I am sick of the snow, colds and it being cold!

I entered for this contest on Youtube to win a leopard purse. Sadly I did not win, but I was looking through there site and I found a bag that I am in love with! Not to mention it is sold out too! Nothing pisses me off more then it being out of stock!

Okay enough bitching today!

Cleaning out the closet!

I am been selling some items that I no longer need. It is just taking up space and if I can get something for it why not? I have been selling a lot of Livejournal. I find that it is easier then Ebay. They do not charge you fees. I set my prices and shipping to what I want. So far I sold over $200 dollars worth of stuff! Its really a nice feeling to go into your checking account and seeing money! It makes me feel really good too. Along with selling some items, I have been looking for some online work and offline work. If you know anyone that is looking for someone to do social media, freelance writing work, please let me know! Thanks!

I have been sick since last Friday night. It really sucks! First my Brother got sick and then Matthew got sick. One of them got me sick. Not sure which one, but we all have the same thing. I was really sick Sunday and I was out and about and it really sucked! I had a fever and I was so miserable, but I had to go out. I have been getting more rest though. Tomorrow I have my appointment with the medical group for my gastric bypass. I hoping that I will be well enough to go as I already canceled twice. One was due to issues with the insurance and the other was due to snow.  Then Friday I have my first weight in meeting, Saturday I go for blood work and next Tuesday is my sleep study. I am a busy girl!

My new theme is about 95% done for March. I love the way it came out. It is very different! I can’t wait to share it with you guys! I also bought a new domain for my gastric bypass surgery journey. The domain name just came to me and I went to check if it was available and it was! I was so excited! I was working on a theme for it, and then I started to cough and well then my throat was hurting and I couldn’t be bothered. So I am planning on working on it tonight since my new theme for March 2010 is done! Can you believe it will be March??? WTF? Where has this year gone?? The time is just flying by which is great for me because July 2010 seems so far away!

Valentines Love

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! Mine was pretty good. It was a very long day. Matthew surprised me with a perfume that I have been wanting. I seen it before and we were low on cash and we seen it again at Macys and he let me get it.  It even came with a cute purse too. The lady at the perfume counter was so nice to give me a goody bag with other perfume samples in it! This is great for my purse or when I travel, which I will be doing late April. The perfume is called Queen by Queen Latifah. It smells soo good.  It reminds me a lot of Thierry Mugler Angel, one of signature perfumes along with Ralph Lauren Collection for Her by Polo Ralph Lauren and Jean Paul Gaultier Classic perfume. Those are all my most favorite perfumes and now Queen Latifah’s Queen is added to the list!

I am really excited about my first weight in this Friday, yet I am very nervous. I really hope that I lost something. With all the medication I have been taking for my colds, I hope that would not effect it. I plan to eat light for the next two days. I am not really hungry anyways because I don’t feel well. Alieve D and Delsym has been my best friends lately. They really kill the cold good. Delsym really tastes good too! Thursday I meet with the dietitian for an hour to talk about my eating habits after surgery. It is a mandatory thing I must do to be approved for my surgery. Next Tuesday is my sleep study. This will be the first time I was sleeping without Matthew since the day we got married. I am going to be lonely. Oh well, it is only one night!
