Im jumpin on the wagon.....

So my bff Alicia has decided to make a post of her weight loss every week on her blog which inspired me to join with her. We are neighbors so we can definently be supporters of one another!! My weight is not such a big problem, but my eating habits are. I eat terrible basically my diet consists of junk junk junk!! I drink soda by the tons and eat ice cream and candy all day its pretty bad. My family has a history of diabetes and heart problems.My dad and me are the biggest junk food junkies of all time. He has diabetes and high blood pressure and takes meds for both. My mom had a heart attack I think she was only in her late thrities or early fourties. She was over weight and ate basically like me and smokes. I dont smoke never have, but most of our life syle habits with eating are very similar. She has in the last few years lost like 80 pounds i believe it is and all by herself!! I am so proud of her for that and now she is not overweight and if she can lose all that I know I can lose 15 lbs!!! My health though is my main concern so my eating is what I need to change, and in the mean while losing a few lbs will be great!! I have 3 kids I need to be healthy and set examples for a husband who himself has lost 80 lbs in like 6 months and a family who loves me and needs me. I dont want me kids to fall into the junk food ways I have and struggle with it like I do so i need to change it sometime. Soon I will post my weight with pics im goin thru my monthly cycle so i will wait till thats over haha. Approximatly I weigh about 149 last time I checked I wear a size 8 I now that and Im 5'6 ish.

Deals, Deals and Deals

Man, I wish I had the money to shop for xmas stuff after the holiday for next xmas!! I went to the mall today with a friend and I cant believe how cheap all the xmas stuff is!! The have the personlized ornaments for like 3 bucks and bath and body works gift sets for dirt cheap just tons of things that make great gifts just discounted down so much!! Not including xmas books for the kids and decorations, if I could buy a year ahead of time I would be set we would save so much. I even think about buying the kids xmas outfits and stuff ahead of time we would save soooo much its so much cheaper!!!

Our Xmas was absolutley perfect. The kids got so many gifts its crazy, and me and my husband made out pretty good too! I got a gift certificate for a spa day me and my step mom will be making a day of it yayy!! It was just a great couple days we had xmas eve at my house with my in-laws it was fun we did the "mexican" xmas haha then my dads the next day was the "white" xmas!!! Im still putting away toys from all the gifts. Im actually really sad its all over this is my favorite time of the year and I feel like it came and went so fast this year. I dont want to put the decortions away or anything. nyway I guess all things good come to an end but luckily If Im' granted I have next year and many more to come!! So here are some pics from our wondeful hiliday...

What a fun night!!!

So today in the morn I basically cleaned house all morn to aftenoon and my hubby hung all the lights and stuff outside since we dident get to that last weekend and the rugrats shuffled between us both. The fun came this eve though we went to my dads house and my stepmom made a lovely dinner then we went to see the xmas boat show ,and the kids dugg that of course!!! It was freezing though luckily we got a front row seat and was able to park the car right at the endge of the Delta and we could just sit in the back of the car with the back open and watch!! Afterwards we got some Marie Calanders pie that was scrumptous so we had a really nice night. I just absolutely love the holidays...sitting at night in the living room smelling my tree and looking at the lights is so nice..

Our Thanksgiving

So we had a nice thanksgiving! It was small this year my in-laws were in Mexico so was my brother in law so that was a good chunk gone. My dad and Jackie spend Thanksgiving with her family so it was just my mom,sister,and brother n law and my nephew. It was nice to be a bit smaller this year. I cooked everything myself.My mom put together my stuffing recipe for me to save me some time, and then we stuffed the turkey with it that came out sooo good. Then she did her mashed potatoes but everything else i did homemade .I was so proud of myself another year I did a good job!! It makes me nervous because its such a big meal, and you cant mess it up!! It was just nice and relaxing I enjoyed!! Today we are having a lazy day, tomorrow is xmas decorations day so there will be plenty to do!! I did not wanna go out into the madness today so I stayed far away from it. I really did not see any deals that would beneift us. So hope all hade a good holiday!! I cant beleive how fast the holidays are coming and going..this is my favorite time of the year.

Christmas

So the list is starting to pile up!! Our ideas are.... for Stomie we want to get her a Nintendo DS or Guitar Hero they are both over 100 bucks so expensive!! Its just hard with her age she is into the expensive stage now. Adriana we want to get her either a lepster or a princess vanity they are both expensive too. Dominic I really want to get him this train table I think he will dig it. I was telling Ramon I feel bad because if we get them big stuff because thats all they get. He made a good point though either we buy them one big thing or a bunch of litlle stuff that they will just break or lose. I think thats so true. Anyways they get a ton of gifts from their grandparents and friends and stuff so its not like our gifts is the only one. We got to my my dads house so grandma and papa spoil them and other relatives give them plenty too. So for thoes who read my blog what do you think a few small things or one big thing whats better?
