La Vita E Bella

Officially A Brazilian Babe!!

Kayli picked me up last night at 5:15 to head into Anahiem Hills for our appointment. The 55's traffic is ridiculous, so we had to give ourselves 45 minutes to make the usual 20 minute drive. Such is life back in Souther California. But anyway, I took 4 Advil before we left, and anticipated the arrival at the salon. Pretty much the entire drive I was thinking of what I was going to say when I chickened out. Ha ha. Kayli was saying everything possible to keep me excited, and she actually did a pretty good job, because when we pulled up to the house....I was suddenly fearless. Ready to jump on the table.

Kayli had offered to go first, but I knew if she did, I would risk losing my nerve - so I was first up.

....Just Another Manic Monday.....Wish It Were Sunday....

I can’t believe it’s Monday again. Didn’t I just get off work on Friday? It feels like it. What’s the point of home, if we spend more time at work, then we do there? All I know, is I am not ready for the day, and it’s already started.

But enough of that, why don’t I talk about what a lovely weekend I had instead. Friday morning at 5:45 am, Kayli, Kari and I went to the Turbo Kickboxing class. It was really funny. We didn’t really care for our teacher that morning, so instead of her suggested dribbling moves and backwards skiing (is that kickboxing anyway?!) We booty dancing through most of the class. We are the dumb girls in the back who spend the whole class giggling, and laughing. Ironically, I really despise girls like that. Why is it that we feel like we can act in ways that others can’t? Ehh, who cares. All I know is that kickboxing on Friday ended my third week of working out. I almost feel like a pro. Almost.

Friday after work, Trei picked me up and we went to Disneyland. Well, first we ate dinner at Tony Roma’s and then we walked over to the main gates. We spent the first part of the night in California Adventure talking to Crush from Finding Nemo. That interactive theater is so cool. Trei and I kept talking about how cool we would have thought it was as a kid. We were the only people in there without kids, after hearing a majority of them whining and crying – we were pretty happy about that. After talking to Crush we sang in Ursella’s grotto, found out what Disney character Trei was, and walked around the animation studio. After that we went to the pier for some carnival rides, and then headed over to Disneyland. As we were walking towards Indiana Jones we could hardly get through the crowds – so instead of riding any of the rides, we took the train around Disneyland (Trei hadn’t been on it since her was a kid). The whole tour is about 20 minutes, so we just sat and relaxed as we rode around the park. It was a blast. Man, it’s great that $149 can buy you hundreds of cheap dates for an entire year!

This is The Best I Could Come Up With!

5:30. That’s what time I woke up this morning. I had to be at Kayli’s house at 5:50 to pick her up for the gym. I  don’t think I actually got out of bed until 5:40 – but I was on time to Kayli’s house – and even brushed my teeth!! We had planned on going to a weight class – only we were a tad bit intimidated by the weights when we got there, so we just skipped the class and did our own thing. Elliptical, abs, and arms. Seriously, I am so proud of myself. We’ll go tomorrow morning at the same time for Turbo Kickboxing and then be done for the weekend (unless I make it on Saturday). All I know is I haven’t stepped on the scale since Monday and I don’t plan on it till this weekend. I don’t want to disappointment myself in case I haven’t lost anymore weight. Wow, is anyone else as sick of my gym talk as I am?

Wedding Pictures.....and No, They Are Not Mine!

Remember the wedding Trei and I went to in Indianapolis for his cousin Chadd? Well I got my hands on a few of the photographers. However, they are small, and difficult to see. But something is better than nothing, right?

I am a Workout Machine!

Sunday marked the end of Week #2 on my road to skinniness. I have officially lost 4 pounds, and although it’s on target with my whole “2 pounds a week” deal…I’m a little sad it wasn’t 5. I guess I should be proud that my clothes are a little looser, right?

I skipped the gym yesterday….shame on me. I wanted to enjoy my day with Trei without any interruptions. However, this morning I woke up at 5:45 because Kayli and Kari were picking me up to make the 6am Turbo Kickboxing class.

Holy cow…that class kicked my butt (I know, I know, everything “kicks my butt”)!! Towards the end of the class….I felt like my legs were kicking, but by looking in the mirror, they weren’t moving at all. Ha ha ha. Screw kickboxing, they should just have an hour of freestyle dance – that would be cool. Honestly, I think I worked my abs out the most from laughing so much. I can’t take myself seriously working out to rap music. I’m too white.

But on a good note….I got a Pilates mat for 50% off…..and I love it! Looks like I’ll be making the PiYo class tomorrow night. Yipee.

I've Said it Before....Life is Beautiful!!

I'm always sad when a Tuesday comes after a long and wonderful 3 day weekend. The next one happens in the end of May. That's 3 months. But enough of the small talk, it's time for a recap.

Friday night Trei had to work, so I spent the evening in front of the TV....for a little while that is. I had gone to the gym in the morning with Kayli, so I didn't have to that night. After watching TV, I went over to Kayli's for a little while and made dinner with her and sat around to watch some more television.

Saturday morning came around really quickly, and I was so excited because Trei and I were going to Whittier to see the newest member of his family...

You are smart, a real thinker. Every situation is approached with a plan. You are very healthy in mind and body. You don't take crap from anyone. You have only a couple of individuals that you consider "real friends." You teach strong family values. Keep your feet planted in them, but don't overlook a bad situation when it does happen.

Hey, that's pretty good! To find out who you are....visit Analiza's blog and take the test for yourself!

Pretty in Pink

I am so tired today. I’ve been going to bed really late because I wait up for Trei to get home from work. So Tuesday night I went to bed after midnight, and last night I went to bed after midnight, and tonight it will likely be the same. I just need to go to sleep. I don’t know though, until he walks in the door – I’m nervous. I like to be assured he’s home safe and sound.

Yesterday was an extremely full day. Work flew by like always (and I really appreciate that). After work I went home to change and picked up Kayli so we could go to Target and buy a gift for Trei’s newest cousin Kaylee. I’ve never had so much fun picking out stuff for a little baby. I did a pink themed basket, and my mother is going to be so proud. (I’ve attached pictures of the basket at the end of this post). Kayli and I pranced around the baby stuff for way too long.
