Stressful Times

Summer is over and next week school will start.

For this semester it will be a hectic schedule for my family. Big changes will also happen. Major things has happened and the stress level in our house is to the roof. Well, maybe just mine and my husband.

Good thing there's online schools and online classes to make scheduling a little easier.

So, here's some of the things that are going to change. Before, I am the full time mom and student and always take care of our daughter. Now, I will be going to school monday to friday, all day. I just start working part time and that one is during the night, and then my daughter will be starting school as well. On top of that my husband works full time and he goes to school at night as well. Pretty much he will be the sole care giver during the day and sitter for some of the days that he will be working.

The sad part is that we (me and husband) will only get to see each other couple of hours during the night. He works on the weekend so no hopes there. But I am trying to look at it in the long run... After these hectic times/schedules we should be okay at least after 1 1/2 years when I start working full time. For now I am just glad that I can at least take some of classes online. Kudos to the people who started online schools.

Play dress up

Last week was dress up week...it's not the typical dress up like the kids are doing but it's something my husband and I did in order to make a great impression for a job interview.

Since it's a federal job that he was applying for we want to make an impression when it comes to the appearance. So, I had to make sure that all of the pieces of the suit goes together. I found some great long sleeve that he likes and it matches with the neck tie. The hardest part with this dress up was matching all the pieces together, but once I saw the long sleeve it all kinda blends with the rest.

We actually end up with two long sleeves. He used the second one that I bought and I guess the other one will be used for the next interview. The second long sleeve might look nice with a bow ties. I will have to check on how it will go with the rest of the suit.

The fun part is shopping and at the end of the day even though we were all tired (my daughter keeps complaining and telling us that we had enough too many stuff to do...usually she complains because she doesn't have anything to do)we were able to accomplish something. At the same time we had some family time.

Not all diet pills are created equal

Certainly true. Just like not all people are created equal.



So I have this love handle, it's not to much but it still shows specially if the clothing I am wearing is a little snug. As you can see on the picture on the left...:( We went swimming on the lake the other day and I just want to not see the excess skin when I wear bathing suit or even jeans or shorts.

I've heard that there is this new thing where they freeze the fat in your body but its not FDA approved yet. Also, I don't have that much fat in my body to actually do the freezing thing. I just have to do some good toning and exercise and I should get the result I want. I also read some apidexin reviews which are pretty good. But then again, I am not the type of person who will take drastic measure, specially when it comes to losing weight just so I can get faster result. And I only need to lose 10 more lbs.

Maybe after losing the 10 lbs and my body is toned down, my waist can look more like the edited photo... wishing!

Great result...

My husband has been working really hard for the past couple of weeks now in order to lose weight. Finally he said that it's time and he will keep it. He even stop drinking soda and now I hardly drink any myself. The only time I drink is when we go out and eat. At home we drink water or juice.

To date, he lost 10 lbs and his gut is getting really small. He's gradually increasing the crunches that he is doing and hopefully at the end of the year, it will all be gone(crossing my finger).

I want to start doing some crunches as well, but right now I still have a lot of things that I have to finish at home so hopefully next week I can start doing a little bit. I wanted to lose some of the love handle at the same time tone down the arm and legs. I've noticed that they are looking flimsy.

I also want to lose at least 10 more lbs. The other day I checked my weight and it says 100lbs. Yey! So right now I just have to work on the toning part and losing a little bit more. I know there's diet pills that work out there and a lot of people are losing weight using them. But I think its not for me personally. The reason for that is, I really hate taking any pills...even vitamins.

I may have to start walking or maybe jogging. I think I am going to do it in the morning because it's a little cooler between 6am to 7am. And hopefully, the result will be the tone body that I want.

Feels like country

One of the thing that I like about our neighborhood is that it still feels like you live in the country. Like for example there is an open field behind our backyard and if you are into atv riding then its the perfect place to do it. I've seen some of our neighbors that use the field to do some 4 wheeler drive. It's safer because they are not driving by the road and the field is huge.

And then if you want to see get more fresh air, just drive by east and you will see a lot of farm. I kinda miss our house when we were kids. It's so close to the mountain that if you shout really loud, you can hear the echo. And it's also close to the lake...it's a great place to build a vacation house. The only issue with the place is transportation. Since it is so close to the mountain, transportation is a problem. And to get to the place, you have to ride a ship...not plane.
