The World I live in and Life in General

Day 3

A week or so ago I figured out that for as much as I can exercise with no problems I just can't get the eating thing and don't believe anyone who says that just exercise will get you to lose weight it won't.

So I see an advert for the cooler clense and it sounds like something I could do. I decided against a five day clense and went for the 3. It's not cheap but I figured it was my way to find discipline in
My eating and jump start some path to eating better cleaner.

So the cooler arrives on thursday and it begins 6 juices for the day that you drink in a certain order.

Funny thing I am a fan of the green juice at whole foods but this one I found really thin and watery. Loved the grapefruit juice the almond milk was also tasty way to end the day.

I only really felt hungry once. I kept exercising so maybe that's why. No headaches maybe a little moody that I couldn't enjoy a bowl of Pho with the family on a rainy day.

I felt a real mental hunger. Like I wanted to eat something just because I knew I couldnt not because I was hungry but because I just wanted to which tells me my body doesn't need more food and I can say no to my cravings.

So day 3. Im not going to lie I'm looking forward to that bowl of Pho in a couple days. ( you need to ease out of the clense slowly with healthy food).

Oh and I miss my soy lattes.

                                         

Papa

Moments like these remind me that my kids are really lucky to gave such a hard working loving caring giving papa who takes time out of his day to come to "lunch with someone you love" day with his girl.

Packing

I've been thinking about the future lately. My little one is almost 5 and in a year he will be in kindergarten. My girl is at a place where she's not my baby anymore and she likes her independence. She is learning big girl things like 3 number subtraction and soon enough multiplication. I wonder now 7 plus years of being a stay at home mama what is next for me.

I spent today packing for tomorrow. It was a really gorgeous day. I'm thinking more and more about focusing on becoming a little more Erika and not just mama.

Decide how I want to use that degree I got 10 or more years ago. Decide on a goal beyond raising my kiddos, which afterall will always be my first priority, them.

 

Back to blogging...

It's been so long since I blogged that I thought I would give it a try with the iPhone.

Why not start with a list...TODAY:

I had breakfast with my mom friends. I love those girls, it's been weeks since we've gotten together and we went big...Norms.

I got my eyebrows waxed.

I need to finish packing (well to be honest I MUST be done by tomorrow).

This weather has me worried that the seas out of Los Angeles will be rough (I hope not I'm a bad sailor in rough waters even with Mickey aboard).

Both kiddos have soccer practice this weekend, I'm thinking the rain will probably stop that from happening.

We will likely order pizza and have movie night while we stay inside away from the 'biggest storm in my lifetime' according to KFWB.

Happy New Year....1.1.11

November 4 and 5th

Happy Birthday Katya.

(almost) Wordless Wednesday

 
My Red Cup Gingerbread latte.  The last photo of her at 6.  Ready to celebrate 7.

ten on tuesday

1. The kids wanted sushi for dinner, Oli ate $10 worth of Salmon and $10 worth of Shrimp sashimi...crazy.
2. Zumba, Zumba, Zumba.  I love it.  now if I could only stop over eating.
3. im thinking Meg Whitman (and the others) could have done so much with the MILLIONS she spent running for office that would actually help people.  I didnt like either choice, but it is sick how much money was wasted on this years elections.
4. I had my first gingerbread latte!!
5. Picked up Toy Story 3 on DVD
6. I ordered the food for Katya's tea birthday party.
7. I need to take down the Halloween decorations.
8. Tomorrow is clean the house day and do laundry day.
9. I am watching 16 and pregnant.  yes, its embarrasing to say so.
10. It was almost 100 degrees today...

November 1. this and that.

Yesterday I got my first Red Cup of the season.  It made me really happy.  I love this years design.  Hope to be able to get my hands on a gingerbread latte before the week is over.

 
We went to see Nick Jr. Live on stage, the kids loved it....even my not so preschooler enjoyed it.  That made me really happy. We stopped at the Marmalade Cafe for dinner and picked up a Shakira CD...(LOVE her new single She was AMAZING at the Honda Center last week).

 
Max and I celebrated THIRTEEN years on Thursday we had burgers with the kids....I got flowers he got a 12 year old bottle of Jameson.

Took the kids trick or treating we had lots of kids.  My favorite memory of last night, the kids trading candy seconds after they collected it from the houses and Oli saying "mmmm..." when they would drop a treat in his bucket.  funny.

 

They decided not to be Peach and Mario for trick or treating, we went with Rapunzel and a cowboy (from his harvest festival at school).

We also celebrated the birthdays of my twin nieces who turn 6 TODAY.  It is amazing how time just flys by.   Happy Birthday girls.

 
My baby girl turns 7 on thursday.

 

 

 

 

Blog-a-day November 2010.

The goal is to blog everyday this month.

I think I can do it.

I know blogging is less popular now than Facebook...but maybe there are still a couple of people reading blogs, maybe my mother in law is still hanging in there to see pictures of the kids.
