I am posting this because I never want to forget the day that history was made. I remember telling my one year old, soon to be two, today the United States makes history. At that point we were not sure if it was good or bad.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As the night progressed things were not looking very good. Dylan wanted to watch Elmo (Apo to him) like always, but we needed to know what was going on. We saw Donald Trump was on the lead and things were not changing. More and more states were marking red. I made a status on Facebook saying he was winning and people were still hopefully, asking me to have faith in people but I somehow knew in my gut, he was going to win.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I read a post a few months back where Michael Moore explained why he was going to win, I didn't want to believe him at the time but his reasons made so much sense. We were doomed. At about 10 pm we decided to call it quits and try to fall asleep, it seemed to be decided at that point. Woke up at 7:30 and woke my husband up. He looked at his phone and said "Donald Trump won". I felt my heart sink and tears started running down my face. My eyes are watering as I write this.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It was the gloomiest of days, Nov 9th, a day I will never forget. I had not been this sad in a while. I felt so betrayed by my fellow Americans. Being Mexican is no longer ok in the United States, especially in somewhere like Arizona. I made a sad post, there were a lot of people that sympathized and felt the same way. But then I started seeing posts that seemed to be directed at my post. Not sure if it was just because it was such a delicate subject, but it felt like I was being stabbed in the back.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This day is almost over at 8:59pm. The big emotions are all gone, I am in a sad but calm state. We shall see what this president brings us. I am trying to be positive, but I am not there yet. Hopefully it's all good though. </p>
<p dir="ltr">May God Bless us all. <br>

Your mama loves you SO much.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Dylan:</p>
<p dir="ltr">You came to light up my life. I never imagined I could feel so complete and happy. Knowing I was pregnant with you came as quite the shock, I didn't feel ready, it did not seem like the appropriate time. Sometimes life gives you what you need and I needed you so much in my life. I was starting to feel like I was missing something in my life, I had a void and that void was you. You are such a spunk. You have so much personality. You are hilarious. How you imitate the dogs, they are your best friends, especially Chita. You love to take them on walks and walk chita. You love to dance, you love bubbles and the wii, even thoughyou can't play. You love pressing every button in the house and turning everything on and off. You love to pour (waste) water in cups. You love to look out the window and it makes me sad I can't take you out more because it's summer right now and we would melt. You throw soo many tantrums now it's ridiculous. Sometimes you get the best of me and your daddy but we love you no matter what. You take your shoes everytime we're in the car. You understand and speak both Spanish and english. You clap for yourself after yoe accomplishments because that is what we taught you. You yell daddy, all.day.long. Words you say include agua, bravo, daddy, mama, atis (chita), eee (iii in spanish) which means mira, there's more but I can't remember right now because it's late. I love you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Logan:</p>
<p dir="ltr">You are just the sweetest baby I have ever met. You are so patient and you have the sweetest smile. I can tell there is so much kindness in your heart. I fall more in love with you each and every day. Even though I was hoping for a girl, as I always am, I always, always knew you were a boy. I have to admit I was scared of the second child as I am always seeing people say that the first one is the "easy" one. We shall see but you are just so sweet and adorable. Thank you for coming to my life and filling up my heart even more. You sleep a.lot. mommy loves you for it because you let her sleep. You sleep 5-6 hrs straight. You hated your bassinet and like the pack and play that we had to put blankets in. You are a perfect eater, we did not have to use a nipple shield or anything like with your brother. You take both formula and boob but you prefer your boob. You smile at us now!! At a month and a half. The first time I saw your smile I cried. As I did the first time I saw you. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Your births were so different. I was so tired and in disbelief when Dylan was born. I was a lot more awake with Logan's c-section. Until they gave me antinausea meds and they didn't help and made me SO drowsy, I can't remember much of the first night. With Dylan I couldn't believe I was a mother, it was such a shock, it's hard to describe. Second time I was a lot more conscious and knew what to expect. The next day after Dylan was born I almost didn't remember having a baby, even though I was holding him the whole time. Anyways, I'm babbling. </p>
<p dir="ltr">You both are my world. Thank you to your daddy and God for giving you to me. Thank you for choosing me to be your mama. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Love, your <u>mamita</u></p>

If I have a drawing/picture to base my drawing on, let's just say I don't suck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My weight is going down and I am very happy about that. I have lost the incredible amount of 4kg/8lb. I am not even kidding when I say it's incredible and I am so very happy about it. :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">By the way, I had a little teeny tiny breakdown on Sunday when my competitor wanted to quit our bet. I have been working so hard to actually lose weight and it was actually working but she was complaining too much. Just because she had had a bad week. At first I told her that we had made a deal, and of course there had to be a loser in a bet and if she thought she was winning, she would have never wanted to give up. At the end though, I just thought she was a bad competitor and it would be better for me to continue this journey on my own. I got really discouraged by how she was handling it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was really good for me to start though and prove to myself that I can lose weight and there is nothing wrong with my body and if I really make an effort I can even lose weight fast. SELF HIGH FIVE!!!............ I know....that was a little dumb.........I promise to never high five myself again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On monday I tried working out with youtube videos. It was funner than I remember. Maybe I am already starting to enjoy this exercise thing a little bit. When I was 17 I used to go to hawaiian/tahitian dance lessons. I had never been really good at coordination or remebering all the steps in any other of my dance classes (doesn't mean that I enjoyed them any less) but when I started taking these classes I felt like they were meant for me. I was finally good at dancing. Anyways, I looked for Tahitian/Hawaiian cardio and I found these really great videos. I felt really good doing them and by the end I was sweating a lot. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since they weren't very long (like 30 minutes I think) I decided to look for some videos for my arms. I did a Tracy Anderson video. It was a little crazy but it was really hard to hold my arms up and she said on the video it was really effective, so I am going to go ahead and believe her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I looked for some other videos and tried this really weird dancing which I never really understood the steps to, so by the end I was just walking/jumping around my room moving my arms not even trying to follow the "choreography" anymore and it was about an hour of working out by then so I decided I had exercised enough for the day haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday my day was ruined by my phone company because they're over charging me like 50 dlls. They didn't activate one of my free numbers to call and basically told me I made up calling them to activate it in the first place. I was so VERY upset and one of my friends called me to go to starbucks. I told her I was really mad and probably would not be good company but she insisted on us going anyways. Oh starbucks <3 I can always count on you to make my day better. When I got there I had a free drink and I felt like it was a gift from God. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, I am out of work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hugs from Mexico!</span><br />

(a long post)<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I am a failure.
I am used to failure. Failure sometimes even makes me happy. I am ok with failure.
I don't really try hard changing it. I am talking about failure when losing
weight. Why do I admittedly call myself a failure losing weight? Because it's
true, and I have to be honest with myself. I love food. I wish I didn't have to
exercise a day in my life. I would be COMFORTABLE sitting at home eating
whatever I want all afternoon. I've done that. I've lived that. I have been ok
with that most of my life.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Failure
sometimes makes me happy. Food is such a pleasure to me. I think about it a
lot. I would say I am in love with food. It's like when you have a boyfriend or
a guy you like you can't stop thinking about and sometimes, you have to have
it. Same thing happens to me with food. I start craving something and I could
think about it all day. Sometimes when I eat it, it makes me so happy. Other
times, not so much, either it's not what I remember, what I picture in my head
or I feel guilty.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Remember that bet
I made? Well this weekend I didn't really think about it much. I did eat less
than usual. But I don't think I ate one piece of vegetable this weekend. Monday
came along and the last thing I wanted to do was go for my walk/jog. I wanted
some ice cream and I had to have it. I did. It was good. Only ok to be
honest. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Monday night I
got a message from my friend who I am doing the bet with and my head pictured
the pizza I ate this weekend; the delicious Frappuccino I drank on Saturday at
the movies (which I ate healthy all day for), and of course, the damn ice cream
I had just finished eating. O.O I started panicking again and I promised myself
Tuesday would be better. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday was
pretty decent. I ate two eggs in the morning with some milk. I had a salad for
lunch, but it had white rice in it. An apple in the afternoon and Tuna salad
for dinner. I went for my walk/jog and did a little bit of zumba (like 15
minutes lol). I remembered all the rice I had with the salad at lunch and
thought again about how I am not doing well enough.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today I had
again 2 eggs for breakfast, some coffee and lentil soup for lunch. I still
think I am not doing good enough and I am becoming a little obsessed. I keep
remembering my friends that have lost a lot of weight and how they never feel
like they have done good enough. How they exercise a lot, watch everything they
eat. I started getting anxiety because I am not running enough or because
walking doesn't help me that much.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

why many people don’t eat vegetables or exercise, why they eat junk, why they
don’t start something new. But we can be OK with discomfort, with practice.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The reason why
I am not feeling like I am making a difference is because I am not comfortable
losing weight. I have never been good at it, why should I not eat whatever I
want when I want it? Why should I HAVE to exercise if it's not something I
truly like?</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sure once you
get used to it you start to enjoy it, but it's so much easier to stay at home
or go out with your friends. Why should I live to other people's expectations
and not only my own? If I love eating I should be able to eat. If I am
comfortable with my weight I should be able to stay this way. If I don't like exercising
I shouldn't have to.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Whenever I look back it seems closer than it really is, a year has come and gone since I discovered the blogging world. I remember I used to think blogging was for weirdos, I had no idea what people would write on a blog or why they would share it with the world.<br />
<br />
I remember having this friend who told me he blogged, I looked at him funny and asked him "What do you blog about?". He said "Oh you know, just thoughts and life". I thought it was so weird, I checked his blog once. WEIRD. I can't even remember what it was about.<br />
<br />
Anyways, who would have thought blogs would be such a big part of my life? Because they are. Even though I don't write that often, I read blogs almost everyday.<br />
<br />
Life can change so much in just one year, even if you don't notice big changes, when you look back, you realize almost everything has changed.<br />
<br />
Last year at this time my life was so different, I had different goals, I wanted different things for myself and I was so ceirtain of what I wanted. I was in a long distance relationship and was sure I wanted to spend my life with him. I had no idea how we would adapt our differences together. I was unsure if I would feel comfortable living away from my family and friends and from the culture I love. It was scary, but I was so sure.<br />
<br />
This year, I am not certain of anything, my goals have changed (well some at least) and though my life is uncertain, I feel like I am on the right path now. I don't know where this path will lead me but it feels so much better than the one I was going through last year. It feels so much more adequate for me, for who I am and for what I want for my life. I feel relief, because even though I have no idea where I will be, or what I will be doing a year from now, right now I am happy, and that is all that matters. NOW.<br />
<br />
I have spent so much time planning my future and things never turn out like you plan them. Everytime things don't turn out like you want them to it is a blessing. Maybe you don't see it at the time, but once time has passed, you understand why things happen and smile as you look back.<br />

Yesterday I went to cut my hair with my usual stylist Melissa. I've been going there since 2009 so you could say we've known each other for a while, she knows some of my secrets, I know some of hers. You know, the usual hair stylist routine whre you spill your guts haha<br />
So ever since I've known her, she's been a little over weight, but as the years have passed, she has gained some weight.<br />
When I met her I had just lost 20 something pounds. Which I gained back last year plus a little more. Anyways, weight is almost always a subject, mostly comming from her.<br />
This time it was different though, this time she decided we should make a bet. I am always scared of any type of bets. I am not sure if I lose because I almost never participate haha. She started pointing out how we have been trying to lose weight for quite a while now and neither one of us was seeing progress. I of course was scared of participating haha..but by the end I said, so what if I do win?<br />
The bet is for $150 dlls. By the end I was more conviced than she was....and then today came.<br />
I ate the usual, except I ordered a smaller salad. The hard part for me is the afternoon. I started getting a lot of anxiety and after eating cereal and an avocado (a very small one) I started freaking out. I went for my usual walk for an hour and by tge time I was done I felt like I hadn't done any excercise at all. I did some push ups by my car and came home. I am still frealing out. What did I get myself into??!!<br />
Well...at least it's helping me push forward. Wish me luck! Any tips? <br />
On other totally different subjects. I have two dogs and two cats. They're all females. Boni is my poodle, Chita is my hairy chihuahua and the two cats I have no idea what kind of cats they are, but their names are Teresa and Gachu. <br />
Chita is the baby of the house, and of course she thinks she's the queen. She is really funny though. They have this ball that makes a squaky sound and she and Boni love it. So today she was bringing me the ball so I could throw it. Teresa was laying on my bed and she decided to start bringing the ball to Teresa..the cat, so she could throw it. I thought it was soo funny how she brought it and stayed there looking at her waitng for her to throw it hahaha aah that dog. She is too cute. <br />

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So yesterday was a normal day, having coffee with friends and someone decides to take a picture of us. In the picture I am looking sideways (profile) and wow..I have a big doble chin..and the bottom chin is bigger than my chin. I don't know if you can really call it a doble chin because you can't see it from my front pictures. But you can definitely see it in my profile pictures.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways...I started analyzing other parts of my face and I saw that my eyebrows are getting fat. O.O I didn't even know that was possible. I've been walking/Jogging three times a week but I am not sure it's enough. I have changed my diet but I haven't changed it enough. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know it takes time, but I don't want to lose focus. I want to gain more (focus not weight haha).</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am still really scared about the race, specially because I haven't gone on my three day walks this week. My left foot has been hurting and I am trying to let it rest and not hurt myself more.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The biggest loser started yesterday and I love the show. I am obviously going to watch the new season. :D</span></div>

<br />
My town is so small, when there is a salmonella crisis at a sushi restaurant, everyone know someone who got it....or got it themselves.<br />
<br />
Lucky for me I was not one of the unfortunate cases of salmonella. Thank God. Two weeks ago I had rotavirus.<br />
<br />
It was quite the horrible week. I won't go into further details but they are nasty, and my body was in a lot of pain, I had a temperature and ot a headache for 7 days straight. I felt really weak. Not cool. Thanks brother! (he's the one that started this family crisis in which, him, my dad and I were affected).<br />
<br />
There was a military race yesterday here in Hermosillo and th winners were given medals by the mayor in the inauguration of the baseball games. Baseball is very big here. I thought that was really cool and thought it would be cool to participate next year. Probably won't be among the winners but who knows right?<br />
<br />
There is another race in two weeks and my friend (who was in the race) wants us to be in it. I have never done a 5k race before. The only race I have ever been in was back in may. It was a "walking" 2k...or so I thought...that's what it said. :( I believed them. In short, I realized there was only a few of us actually walking. I thought all the people that were running were in the 5k. Joke's on me when I saw I was one of the last people in the race. So I started jogging/running/regretting thinking it would be that easy.<br />
<br />
I spent the whole time trying to beat these girls that suddenly passed next to me. Everytime I would hear steps right behind me I would start running again. I beat them. I also passed an old man and his grandson who was like 3 or 4. Damn. I really thought it would be that easy haha fail!<br />
<br />
Anyways, I am pretty scared about doing the 5k race. My friend said everyone had finished in less than 50 minutes. If I can't get my time down to 50 mins I will not be racing. I don't want to be the one with the ambulance. :/<br />
<br />
Wish me luck!<br />

It has not captured me at all, although the story is creative, I have not enjoyed it that much but I do want to know what happens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Obviously it has to have a happy ending, because I do love happy endings, even though I think they're cliche I am never happy when a book doesn't end like it's supposed to haha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Recently I watched the movie "Instructions not included". I loved it. Even though it had a not so good ending. There are a lot of people that expected it. I did not expect that ending at all. Maybe I am just gullible. It was made by Eugenio Derbez, a mexican actor/producer/director/writer who is very famous here. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This day is so long. I did not go for a walk/jog yesterday and I totally regret it. I was so sleepy and tired and I wanted to take a nap but I couldn't. I've felt a lot happier every time I go lately and today I don't feel unhappy but I feel totally blah today. Oh well, now I know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a birthday party today but I will be sure not to miss my walk because I am sure I will regret it tomorrow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My hair is not long enough to make that bun buuut..for when your hair is not long enough you can always make a half pony tail...is that how you say it? When you use the top half of your hair? I've never heard it before and that's what google translated it to. Google is always right, so I trust it. (Sarcasm)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What do you think? Do you think I could upload my tutorial and everything? Lol!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What I like about curly hair is that since it always looks messy, it looks like you meant to make it messy...or is that just me? lol It just seems that when I straighten my hair, my hairdos have to be more put together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday I walked/jogged 5km. :D that's a big step for me though it might not seem much. I am working my way to be able to jog an entire 5k. All the people that were running were passing me but I was passing all the ones that were walking ;).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can't believe how exercise makes you feel so much better about yourself and happier. I didn't know it could make you feel so much more confident in yourself even though there is really no change in my body yet. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I was so proud of myself yesterday when I was in the middle of walking my last mile and then the friend I was supposed to pick up called me and told me she was already out.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had been jogging and stopped probably like a month ago. I had this friend/autoprocclaimed trainer that moved out of town and I called him to tell him the good news. That I had jogged for the first time after he left and I could still go farther than I thought I could.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I though he would be so proud lol silly me. He was like whaaat?! You had stopped jogging?!! After all the work we put in you stopped?!! I thought we would be jogging at the same pace when I got there blah blah blah (this was all in a friendly/funny/I am kinda upset but still your friend kind of way) and I said but...but I thought you would be proud that after not jogging I could jog...and he said why would I be proud if all this time I thought you were jogging and you had stopped. We had some laughs and I promised I would keep on jogging and we would start running at the same pace next time he's here ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, yesterday's jog really motivated me to keep going. I really thought I had lost all the progress I had made and turns out I didn't. :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I did not take a picture of myself jogging or a picture of my jogging shoes but here is a picture of how I probably looked jogging.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 36px;">This summer I have really gotten into reading, but right now I am reading a book I have not really enjoyed that much. It's called Delirium.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 36px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 36px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The story is good but...I haven't really enjoyed the book too much. This is just my opinion but it has too many details that aren't really relevant to the story. I haven't started any other book because I do want to finish this trilogy first.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyways, everybody has been talking so much about orange is the new black and I wanted to watch it. I started it on saturday and finished the first season on sunday. I totally recommend it! I loved it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was so sad to hear the new season is coming out until 2014. I don't think I can wait that long, I'll have to read the book lol but I want to finish these ones first.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On sunday I started watching breaking bad. I know I got to the party really late and it ends this week but oh well, better late than ever right? I watched two episodes yesterday.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On other healthy things. I have a health coach. He must not be very happy with me lately because I've been slacking on everything lately. I haven't been walking. I haven't been eating healthy, although I have improved from two weeks ago. I haven't been doing his assignments. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was going through something and that was all that was in my mind. I feel better now and I feel like I can start getting back on track. It's really hard for me to start exercising, and since I stopped, it's like starting all over again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There's this girl at work that goes for walks everyday and I asked her if I could start going with her. She agreed and she is one of those very constant people, which I am not at the moment, so I am very happy to have found a new walking partner. :)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am happy to be feeling a lot more stable lately and I hope it gets better day by day. This recovering from a break up is hard stuff. But I am absolutely positive it is all for the best. :) </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Any book recommendations? My favorite books are the young adult genre. They just really get you into the story and they're so easy to read. Since I haven't really read that much in the past years, it's a good way to start. </span></div>

weight...<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You know how my
description says "Forever trying to lose weight?"<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well I can't make
a post on how to lose weight (yet, someday though :)) But I CAN make a post on
how NOT to lose weight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know what you're
thinking, and how is this useful to me? Well, by learning all my easy steps on
how NOT lose weight and doing the opposite, maybe you can lose weight. My
method is GARRANTEED. If you do not lose weight doing the OPPOSITE of my
method...then I am sorry, you are not doing things right. YAY! I told you it
would be useful to you ;).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Buy Nutella and
eat spoonfuls of it as snack everyday while laying on your bed watching your
favorite series until you finish the whole jar. The more spoonfuls you eat a
day, the better. If your dog wants you to share DON'T. One, because nutella is
not good for them because of the whole chocolate thing (even if it has little
amounts). Two, because you cannot share your Nutella for my method to work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyR-kjsupTxhc453eB0C4PV9ttmKZ-8VFg-dxu9M3Fhi74WXG8xHsqr7YinsQHdh8hp-9kaAl781ErR1Mhahp_Aq9IBNfcYbA_2UgexKd516OImCiergp4VK-jYnKonQ-d8PkjtSR_Z2lM/s1600/CAM01842.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyR-kjsupTxhc453eB0C4PV9ttmKZ-8VFg-dxu9M3Fhi74WXG8xHsqr7YinsQHdh8hp-9kaAl781ErR1Mhahp_Aq9IBNfcYbA_2UgexKd516OImCiergp4VK-jYnKonQ-d8PkjtSR_Z2lM/s320/CAM01842.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Do not exercise. Go for walks
once or twice a week and walk around a mile each time. A little exercise is
better than no exercise right? Right.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Always buy take
out. Unless your mom had any left overs you can take for work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. ALWAYS eat
breakfast. Yes this is correct; this is an important step for NOT losing
weight. For breakfast drink a frappe coffee drink from Starbucks or whichever
coffee place you prefer. You can ask for light milk, this will not make a
difference in not losing weight because you will still get all the yummy sugar
in the drink. Accompany your frappe with a cupcake or a burrito, sometimes
both, the more the merrier.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5. It is important
NOT to skip ANY meal during the day. Please eat at least four meals a day for
my method to work correctly. What is a meal you're asking? Well...we already
talked about breakfast. All the sugary goods. For a morning snack feel free to
eat whatever you'd like cookies, chips or you can mix things up with an apple
or some other healthy stuff. This is a sacrifice, I know, but it is optional.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For lunch please
enjoy the quesadillas from the lady at work, or any other food she decides to
make that day. If you decide to go out to pick up lunch at work you can eat the
really good Chinese food by your work, or that really unhealthy
"salad" that has a really big base of white rice. You can also choose
from any of the pastas your local market offers. You can accompany this meal
with chips and a soda if you're feeling it. Your soda can be regular or diet.
It doesn't really matter, soda is soda. YUM.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When you get home,
be sure to eat a plate of whatever your mom made for lunch that day. I am going
to take advantage of this space to teach you some culture on Mexico. In Mexico
most people don't move out of their parent's house until they are married,
moved to another city or decided to live with someone. You're welcome, now you
know one more thing about Mexico.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Be sure to make
yourself some dinner if you are not going out with friends that day (which I
will be discussing more of on my next point). But I already ate a little
earlier you say? What did I say earlier about not skipping any meals? Please
eat at least four meals a day. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6. When your
friends ask you to go somewhere, leave all your exercising plans aside and go.
But my plans are at 8pm and get out at 4pm from work so I can exercise in
between? Naa but that would involve me taking another shower during the day.
Plus maybe there is something more exciting to do like...watch tv, lay in bed,
play with the dogs, read, you can always find something else to do.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">7. When you go out
to a restaurant/bar/movies/other think YOLO. YOLO? Yes, that annoying catch
phrase teenagers now a days use to say You only live once, like we didn't know
that before, unless you believe in rebirth or something. Should I get the
popcorn and soda or iced coffee at the movies? YOLO. Should I buy the salad or
the hamburger at the restaurant? YOLO. Should I go to starbucks today? YOLO.
Should I eat dinner again? YOLO. You can then proceed to feel a little
disgusting with yourself for writing YOLO so many times, like I am feeling
right now.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">****Let's pause a
second for a little real advice. Please do not use the word YOLO, please do not
hashtag it on Facebook. Now that we are on hashtags..if you must use a
hashtag..please use only one, two TOPS and it's kind of pushing it. Please do
not make your hash tags miles long. Please do not make a hashtag for #every
#word #you #write. I wanted you to see how gross it looks. I am sorry you had
to see that, it won't happen again. At least on my blog or pictures or anything
I upload. You can do that but we will not be friends..or maybe we will be but I
will read your post looking like this:<span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">See, this is why you shouldn't use too many hashtags. I assure you I am not the only one making that face haha Anyways...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think these points are all the wrong advice I can give you for now but if I come up with more I will be sure to let you know ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On a more serious approach, I did lose more than 25 pounds once and the following is basically what I learned from that:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Always eat what you like, but be open to trying new things. Always remember you are not a magical being that can eat everything she wants and not gain weight. Always remember not to get too carried away by what you want at the moment vs what you want in life (this applies to other situations too).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You do not have to eat just salads all day everyday to lose weight, moderation is key. Don't stop eating, this will only induce binge eating or eating the first thing you find instead of making the right choices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Exercise. You do not have to kill yourself in the gym to lose weight. Walking does work. Always have fun. Remember weight is not the most important thing in life, you are worth so much more than your weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is so easy to let yourself go and really hard to get back on track. It is not impossible though and very worth it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This made my day, week, month and probably one of the best things that has happened to me this year (I am not too exciting, I know haha).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have like one post on my blog. I never in a million years thought that anyone read it. My design is horrible because for the love of me I can't figure this whole blog designing thing out, it's not like I have tried a lot yet and I will get there, but still.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And then yesterday I get this email that said Katie commented on your blog. I clicked on it and couldn't believe it. Katie from <a href="http://www.runsforcookies.com/" target="_blank">Runs for Cookies</a> commented on my blog. On MY blog. I can't even begin to describe how excited I was. I was equally excited the day I got an email from <a href="http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/" target="_blank">Andie</a>, <a href="http://www.nerdfitness.com/about-2/" target="_blank">Steve</a> and <a href="http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/" target="_blank">Janae</a>. I've gotten several emails from Janae (ok like two) we're kind of friends from different countries now (except she doesn't know). But it felt so so so so special that Katie took the time to click on my blog and read it. Wow. Just Wow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You see, last year I discovered I really like reading blogs. I became a fan of a lot of blogs and<i> </i>I kind of see them like celebrities. Have you ever met people who you admire and want to be friends with? These are those people for me, but online.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All these people are SO Beautiful inside and out. I have a sixth sense about these things so you have to believe me haha</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/" target="_blank">James</a> from Bleubird Vintage. She's just got it all, the looks, the family, the talent. Her pictures and family are gourgous. I've always admired her and had a girl crush on her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.runsforcookies.com/" target="_blank">Katie</a> from Runs for Cookies. She is awesome. She is so consistent, admirable and an example. Her posts are always entertaining. She is so real and honest about everything and I love that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/" target="_blank">Andie</a> from Can you stay for dinner? If you find someone who writes more beautifully and honest about weight loss, recipies, struggles, etc. Let me know. Her posts have made me cry and feel so identified.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.hungryrunnergirl.com/" target="_blank">Janae</a> from Hungry Runner Girl. She has so much personality, she is so fun and you can see it on all her posts. She's so charismatic and I don't think anyone can not like her. She runs super fast and has the cutest baby in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.nerdfitness.com/" target="_blank">Steve</a> -sigh- So handsome. So smart. Such a great person. Point made. I don't have to say anything else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.danoah.com/" target="_blank">Dan</a> Have you ever seen anyone get more personal on their blog and have you reading for hours, days their really long posts, yet ALL so entertaining? Nope. You haven't. Have you EVER seen someone be SO honest about EVERYTHING? He is SO BRAVE. Seriously. I respect him so much. I can only imagine all the emails, comments he gets and wow he is one though guy. I love them by the way, all his posts, I don't understand why people think they can judge him so much. He is really great.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.dailygarnish.com/" target="_blank">Emily</a> When she writes, you can't stop reading. She's got it all together, even when she doesn't. She has a beautiful home and family and I just love reading her posts, they capture me every single time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I read a lot more blogs, but these are my blog celebrities.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have any blog celebrities, please recommend them to me so I can read them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks.</span><br />

I don't remember ever
liking reading. I remember reading books as a kid, the Goosebumps books and
Animorphs. I remember being really excited to go to the library and to order
books from those sheets that came to school.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I read a lot
everyday on the internet, but I hadn't really taken the time to read...and then
there was grey, 50 shades of it. I got so into the books I finished the three
of them in a week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">They

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The next
morning, when everybody woke up, they found the cow was dead. What a horrible

starve....</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The

have not helped them.... "<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The master

I killed her"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

passed, and the master returned with his disciple to the farm. They found that
this family that was very poor before was now living in abundance. They had a
great harvest of vegetables, chickens, horses, pigs, ....<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was just checking my previous blog entries and seeing how I was feeling during my relationship and after my breakup. Wow, time really does make a difference. I am in such a different place in my life right now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Previous entries on sparkpeople <a href="http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage_public_journal.asp?id=ZHIOVAL" target="_blank">blog</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I remember feeling so sad all the time after the breakup, like my world had come to an end. I used to cry everysingle day all day long, I used to have to go to the restroom a lot at work because I couldn't hold my tears back. It was such a bad breakup and it hurt like nothing before in my life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now even though sometimes when I remember everything that happened it still hurts, I am so happy. <em>30</em> Happy for the new start, the new posibilities. Having something bad end and knowing something better is waiting for you is the greatest feeling ever, although at the time it doesn't feel that way,but with time you realize that when somene doesn't appreciate you, you are so much better off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The best part is I am writting this with a smile on my face. <em>41</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Life can be hard sometimes but what you learn from the bad parts let's you enjoy life so much more. All the good parts :)...and the bad too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last week I weighed myself and I weighed more than I usually do. I panicked a little bit because I thought I should be losing weight but I am eating healthier and I am ecxcercising so....I will just give it time and not panic.</span>Rociohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04436328628233083549noreply@blogger.com0
