Good morning! I was so tired last night I went to bed at 8 p.m.! Naturally, I’m going to wake up at 4 a.m.! 8 hours of sleep! Just what I had planned! Gonna hop in the shower real quick, then go downstairs and make breakfast for Seb to take on the way to work.
ALHOA! I’m baaaaaaaaack!
Okay, I’m going to “try” and be back. How’s everyone doing?
Just woke up and got the urge to make a post before I go off to the store to buy some supplies to make Irvine Boy – S – my husband some breakfast before he takes off for work.
I was just looking through some of my old posts and noticed I haven’t posted in forever. Aaaand I was kind of missing posting here on Xanga.
Some updates in random order:
1. I’m married! Yay!!
2. I just got back from Taiwan.
3. I started investing in stocks and options (Got a lot to learn. But it’s so fun!) –I feel like I’m in Vegas EVERYDAY. lol.
4. Seb and I moved to Corona, and we’re FINALLY living together (For those of you who remembers that episode about us about to move in together, then didn’t cause of the lamo roommate).
5. Samurai lost a tooth for some weird reason.
6. Seb quit smoking (or so he says). *REWARD FOR INFO ON SEEING S SMOKING OUTSIDE*
7. I still go to the gym.
8. I gained 28 pounds in 2008 to 138. Then I worked really hard to lose about 20 pounds and now weigh 118. (Still working on the rest)
9. I ‘m still going to the gym doing HIITs and weights.
10. I started an excel budget worksheet… (Really fun. Everyone should do it. Makes you NOT want to spend money! Isn’t that fun????)
I think that’s about it.
So yeah, I just got back from Taiwan… now it’s back to work. A new year, a new start, a new quota to complete.
Almost 5 a.m.! What time does Albertson’s open anyway? Guess I’ll find out.
Have a great Thursday everyone.
Heading out.
I went to the gym again last night and did lower body work along with 15 minutes of HIIT for Cardio. Felt really good.
Breakfast today was 2 egg whites, 1 slice of black forest ham, 1 slice of Monterey jack cheese, all on a slice of whole grain toast. For a mid morning snack I had 1 scoop of protein shake and a string cheese. Lunch I’m having egg whites and ham sandwich again. I’m out of state right now, so not too many choices for healthy eating.
Lunch time right now, so I think I’m going to go to the hotel gym and do 15 minutes of HIIT again and then weights at night.
Meetings all day today. I’m still going to the gym even though I’m in another state at a hotel. Still going to go 5 days a week. That’s the only way visible results are visible FAST. And since my wedding is coming up I need to be on a plan that works fast. So far, I see some pretty good results. I’ve been keeping weekly pictures of myself and I have to say now when I look back at the first few sets, they were BLAH. I started working out 08/02/2008. A little over 2 ½ months. I have almost another month to go till the big day. So now I have to get really serious about my meal plans and eat really clean. And eating clean in actually kind of boring, …..but totally doable.
I was thinking the other day that food makes up most of what people physically look like. It’s not how much you exercise; IT’S WHAT YOU EAT DAY IN AND DAY OUT. But most people don’t have the slightest idea what the stuff they’re putting through their mouth is doing to their body. And all those girls out there that think they’re just naturally thin, you won’t be for long just because your metabolism changes as you age. So to look good as you get older actually takes work. And my belief is, if you don’t develop some good exercising habits and great food knowledge, that amazing young body of yours will be no more. Ok, SORRY, I shouldn’t be so harsh. But I’m also bitter I got fat. Wanna know how fat? 25 pounds this year. And with the weight gain, I'd have to say I lost a good amount of my self esteem and confidence. And it was the weirdest feeling and something I didn't expect. But it was really hard for me this year, along with some other stuff I was dealing with, which I have a sneaking suspician contributed to my weight gain. Nevertheless, no excuses! So since 2 ½ months ago, I feel great! I feel stronger! I’ve increased my knowledge even more about food and working out. There's a whole other universe of knowledege on food and working out and how to combine it all effectively.
Have a great week everyone!
I’m on East Coast time. On a trip. I was so tired last night, I fell asleep at 9 p.m. and then woke up at 4 a.m. Went down to the lobby, a few people were already up and on the internet. Or maybe they just didn’t go to bed yet.
I decided to start my day out with a fruit and cheese platter while waiting for the gym to open at 5:30. I don’t understand why the gym can’t be 24 hours. Worked out. 5:30 – 6:45. Went back to room to wash up, change, came back down to lobby and got on computer to catch up on news.
Okay, meeting going to start in 4 minutes.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
反正最近沒什麼時寫, 那就用xanga學打中文好了. 但是我打的真的非長慢. 然後
國文又不好.
我在等男朋友從賽車場回來後 我們要去 Disneyland.
美天都好無聊. 沒什麼市想做的.
Hi Friends!! Thank you for being so excited together with me. I’m really touched by all the comments I got so quickly, even though I haven’t updated as much. I’m sorry I can’t reply to each and everyone of you one by one these few days as I’m participating in the Landmark Forum and the hours are literally ALL day long, but very rewarding, and every fun. Also, just preparing to leave in-between all this is also a little overwhelming. But I’m still here!!
I promise to come back with pictures soon!
I need to go to bed now.. because it’s another 14 hour day tomorrow…
Love you all….
And good night..
I thought S was CRAZY, asking me to go to Disneyland to get our annual pass last Saturday with the rain and all AND in between my moving. But once we got there it was so fun. We went on my favorite ride in California Adventure, The House of Terror… or something like that. I can never remember the exact name… or maybe that is the name of the ride. So we did that … and then went to go grab dinner inside Disneyland. The whole time I had NO idea this was going to be another turning point of my life! While waiting to be seated, S said he was going to the bathroom. And then some time later, or was it before (?), he said he was going to the bathroom again. All the while I had no idea he was actually setting everything up. After dinner we walked right by a caricature artist, and he asked me if I wanted to have one done of us. He asked the lady how much it would cost to do the both of us, and she said something like $30 for each person…. That’s $60 to a cartoon drawing of us!!! But then again, I always like to have these little keepsakes of us… so I reluctantly agreed …. And boy was I glad I did! What would S have done if I said I’d rather not cause we need to save money for the house?! So after she drew us, she asked us to step over to see if the drawing was okay before we paid her. I got up, got to her side… and saw a drawing of us side by side… with S holding a ring between us and a little bubble above his head that said, “Will you marry me?” At that moment I wasn’t sure WHAT was going on, cause I turned back around and he was on one knee with a ring in his hand and he asked me again, “Will you marry me?” I was SOoooo excited… I don’t even remember if I said “YES”, and I completely didn’t know if he was supposed to put the ring on my finger? Or was I supposed to put it on my own finger… But what the hell… I just snatched the beautiful ring from him and slid it onto my own finger! Everything was so perfect…. I really had no idea… he would do it that day…. at that moment.
Even after 6 days, I still feel like I’m floating among the clouds….
Happy 2008 everyone!! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted … but I’ve been tremendously busy with my move. I moved into my girlfriend’s house this week seeing that my lease is up at the apartment complex. I’m really blessed with wonderful friends… as she’s letting me stay here rent free to help me with the down payment on the new house S and I are going to be living in after the middle of the year.
2008 is going to be a great year!
A few things off the top of my head….
And……………..
Proposal story in my next post.
For now, here’s a few pictures of the ring…… and it’s perfect.
