Too Much For Excitement
My hubby’s cousin Jason bought a big bike. Along with it he bought an array of accessories as well. He got a leather biker jacket and pants to complete the look. He even scored new boots too. He was so engrossed in all these things that he completely forgot what is essential, a tool box. That’s why when he had a flat tire he doesn’t even have a motorcycle jack for easy change of tire. Too much for excitement huh?
Tempt Me Not!
We’ve been to too many parties this month. Be it a simple one or an extravagant one. Name it and we’ve been there. Party does not only connote fun and excitement, it also means FOOD, and lots and lots at that! More food is equal to added waistline and equal to added weight. That’s why in times like this, I whip out my Medifast coupon code at once. Good thing that I am an avid collector of coupons. And this is one coupon that always comes in handy whenever I let temptation win over diet.
Smooth Criminal
Cancer is the biggest criminal of all. It commits the most heinous of crimes. It breaks happy family, it destroys dreams, it shatters hearts and takes away life without any remorse. Cancer has no mercy and it is selfish. It feeds on you not just your flesh but also your soul. It pays to learn everything about this killer disease. Do you know that mesothelioma is a type of cancer too? Go and read about it.
Winner Takes It All
My friend in the US broke up with her live-in partner and she had to move out as in pronto. But she had a hard time looking for the perfect place that would suit her small savings. Getting a place in the city was out of her budget that’s why I advised her of Outer Banks rentals. And she was never happier! And now, romance is even just around the corner for her. New place, new love. Its a win-win situation after all.
Traces of Time
As I look at myself in the mirror, I notice the crow’s feet around my eyes and laugh lines too. It was like yesterday when I was just a babe in the woods and now I already have my own baby girl and married to a wonderful man. I’m not sure if I want to erase the traces of time from my face. It’s a beautiful reminder of all the punch and blows that life threw at me. Some I had luckily dodged and some I’ve patiently endured but good or bad, there were learnings that helped mold me into a better person. But just the same, if I do change my mind, the best wrinkle cream is just at my arms length.
Short-lived Happiness
As I have mentioned in my previous post, I shouldn’t have rejoiced too early that I’ve lost 4 pounds last Thursday. Because now, Ive gained it all back in just 5 days! I don’t know why its so hard to say NO to red meat, junk food, sweets and most esp. RICE! Its that time of the month again when its so easy for women to indulge in anything that they can sink their teeth in and that is whenever the red flag is up. I’m back to square one again with a faithful ally, diet pills. I guess my happiness is just short-lived.
Hubby’s cooking
I started my special 3-day diet last Monday and I’m proud to say that I lost 4 pounds at once. But I can’t totally rejoice yet because since yesterday I’ve been over eating. Hubby cooked my favorite stir fried chayote with pork and chicken barbecue. Though I did not eat rice, I still ate a lot. And tonight my brother in law cooked our sumptuous dinner and invited his girlfriend over. We had salt and pepper pork and baked mussels. It was so yummy! I think I will need my ephedrine hcl again.
Ultra Woman!
It’s just so hard to curb your appetite, especially when it’s just so enjoyable to eat! It’s very difficult to resist my sister in law’s cooking. She doesn’t need formal schooling anymore since she already cooks like a chef. That’s the reason that dieting for me is so tough. But I need to be firm in my resolve, I have to continue dieting and drink my ultra 90 or all my efforts will be wasted.
My Friend Au
My friend’s Au birthday is today. She’s celebrating her _ _ birthday already. She doesn’t want anyone to know her real age. That’s her secret to staying young. ? She migrated to Canada last year. I wasn’t able to bid my last goodbye to her because I wasn’t around when she announced that it’s going to be her last day on that day. I felt really sad that I wasn’t even able to wish my good friend luck. She’s such a great friend and she’s very dear to me. Maybe, she still doesn’t know that, but I do appreciate all that she is in being a friend to me. I’m just glad that even if I cannot be with her today at least I can send her an online greeting cards to express my gratitude and love for her.
Time Off
Everything happened so fast. From the time I was pulled-out from my previous group to a month of intensive trainings to finally being on board with my new team. It all happened in just a short span of time. I feel like my body is screaming and my mind is already malfunctioning because of too many information that I need to absorb at once. They are expecting us newbies to finish off thousands of customer emails by next month. And now they are also proposing for a Mandatory OT of at least 2 hours every day. And from what I heard from the grapevine, they are planning to give us graveyard shifts as well to cater to our roaming subscribers. And my say to that is this… ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! This is not what I signed up for! In times like this, I just would like to sit back, relax and sip my glass of pina colada and start booking one of those orlando vacations.
