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
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.
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.
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?
The bet is for $150 dlls. By the end I was more conviced than she was....and then today came.
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??!!
Well...at least it's helping me push forward. Wish me luck! Any tips?
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.
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.

When your eyebrows are getting fat...you should probably start worrying.
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.
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.
I know it takes time, but I don't want to lose focus. I want to gain more (focus not weight haha).
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.
The biggest loser started yesterday and I love the show. I am obviously going to watch the new season. :D

My town is so small...
My town is so small whenever you meet someone new, you always know a person in common (well, 99% of the time).
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.
Lucky for me I was not one of the unfortunate cases of salmonella. Thank God. Two weeks ago I had rotavirus.
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).
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?
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.
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!
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. :/
Wish me luck!

Today is the day...
So I decided today is the day I finish my I'm just not that into you book (Delirium). 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.
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
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. :)
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.
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.

My hair is so Pinterest
Yesterday I decided to style my hair like an image I saw on pinterest.
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)
What do you think? Do you think I could upload my tutorial and everything? Lol!
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.
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 ;).
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. :)

Yesterday I ran....ok Jogged.
How had I never seen the Title spot on the top?....
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. I had to finish my mile because I was trapped inside of the university campus.
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.
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 ;)
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
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.
What? That is totally how I looked. No I did not do that on paint.

On series and not so many books lately...or any other healthy things.
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.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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.
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. :)
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. :)
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.
