Dont let it go wrong!

The other day I was flipping through the channel when i happen to stumble on Oprah. i don't see her show that much anymore but when i saw what they were talking about i was very interested. They were talking about a book call "Women food and God" She had 2 friends there that had stopped talking to each other many times in their lives and it was all because one of the women had lost so much weight that her friend didn't want anything to do with her. I started to think how selfish that person was. i know for me i have a ton of friends that hit their goal weight and I'm nothing BUT excited and Happy for them. As a matter of fact it pushes me to get there faster. Well The friends are now super close but not because the other accepted the fact that she lost weight but because she gained all of her weight and some. They now are super over weight but friends. The author of the book told them that their friendship is based on their insecurities and self hate.

I know for me i would want nothing but love and support however I have been hit with someone giving me negative support. A person that i don't even know told me that I was a Fat Loser and I needed to get over myself."He" commented on a post a while back. I was hurt. How can a person not want the best for someone else? How can a person not love you for who you are today? I mean come on I'm sure people are happy for you right? i hear stories on people losing friends when losing weight. its sad. It SUCKS! Some will stop losing the weight and hate them self to keep those "friends" close. i say lose them. i say keep those that LOVE you and support you. Don't let them hold you back. Don't let it go wrong. Keep pushing. i know I am. And one day those "friends" will realized that they are the ones with insecurities and only using you as a mirror.

El Gimnasio

El Gimnasio, the Gym. Its place where ppl go to work out, feel great, get sore, Some might even use it to pick up on girls. LOl But I use it to get to my goal faster and work on my insecurities. I go to think. I go to laugh (with Analiza) I go to feel better about myself. Feel like Im accomplishing a better life. Event though there are days i don't want to work out. i don't want to be around girls with a way better body then i do. But instead of using that to have negative thinking I have been using it for the positive. I look at them and get inspired. Instead of being upset that I'm not where they are at I say "ill be there soon enough" and keep pushing hard..

I just finished week #1 on Friday and let me tell you it was hard but so good. We took some way cool classes and some not so much. We have been pushing hard. We have been pushing each other. Today marks week #2. I'm gong in with a bang. Trying to keep thinking good about myself and knowing that I have many readers that support me and are inspired makes me push that much harder.

When you think of the word "gym" some might not get excited and some might be scared to even enter through those doors. Use the gym as a positive thing, not as a scary one. Go and make friends or go with ppl you love. It will be easier. It will be fun. It will change your life!

So this is LOVE....

Every little girl wants to be Cinderella. I dont care who your favorite Princess is (mine is Ariel) every girl watches Cinderella and wants a Prince to pick her off her feet and love her like the Prince did. I have always wanted someone to love me. Love me for who I am. Love me for what I am. Love from the inside out. Love my flaws. Love me silliness. Love ME! Someone who will help me for just one moment not feel ugly. for one moment not feel ashamed. for a moment not feel hurt or sad. Help me see things and better myself. Help me love others. Help me make the right choices in life.

I have been beating myself with negativity for a few months now. I have been insecure. I havnt felt pretty and not because people think Im not but because I'm just allowing the enemy get to me. But there is one person who has loved me no matter what size I am or was. Now matter what I have done in the past. No matter what! Today marks out 5 year anniversary. In these 5 years I have about 10 plus songs wirten about me. I have over 20 poems about me. Every girl has one point in their life thought about having atlest one song about them. Im a lucky gal. We have been through everything. We have been through Rocky waters (those are far in between) and the most calm waters (those are about everyday) I can call him whenever and just talk. I can feel sexy. He looks at me as if i am pure gold. He makes me feel beautiful even on the days I dont. He kisses me from head to toe. He tells me he Loves me everyday and can give me 50 reason why (he has done that many times) He will play his guitar and put me to sleep. He calls me just to hear my voice. He wont go to bed unless we resolve our issues. He talks to me. He listens to me. He loves hugging me. He loves kissing me. He is my better half. He is my breath of fresh air. He is my Rock. He is my best friend. He is My Prince Eric. So this is love. One who will put me first as put him fist. One who will love that person so much you forget your on planet Earth. Thank you for these 5 years. We have grown so much. We will continue growing and even through we have and will have bad times it makes us stronger. Im happy. Im loved. Im in love.

Going Organic & Meatless thursdays! :)

So it has been said that in order to lose weight you have to eat right and exercises. I have been doing just that. Its been about a month or so that we have been eating pretty much everything Organic and we have a vegetarian day once a week. or as Eric would like to call it (meatless Thursdays). We have cut out meat all day and eat veggies. I have made some good meals. i thought it was going to be hard but its been easy. I make pasta on that day esp for dinner since that's what my girls and Eric love to eat. BUT I don't use regular pasta I have been using Organic brown Rice pasta and its super super yummy (You can find it at Trader Joes) We also cut out all fast foods. not that we ate there a lot anyway. But its a good to start now and teach your kids to eat right. And if we o go out we make sure its a place where you can find foods you can eat and not feel bad about it.

Analiza my work out buddy and i will be buying our meat from a Organic free range farm. We will be splitting the cost and amount between the both of us. We are getting our chicken from there too. We both have watched Food Inc and let me tell you once you see it I don't think you will ever look at a hamburger the same way. I don't think eating meat is bad at all BUT when the cows are eating things that make them sick I don't think i would want to give it to my family. If you haven't watched it please do. My next book will be "Skinny Bitch" I hear there are some good things in that book things that will help me live a better life and eat right. I have a few friends that have read it and they are now Vegan. I dont think being vegan is for everyone and i dont think its for me but I know I will learn a lot from this book.

I started the gym on Monday and its been good so far. Today i will meet with my work out partner. We are going 5 times a week 2 hours aday. With all this and eating right i think we will get to our goal a lot faster. If you are having problems going to the gym or eating right try to find someone you can trust. Someone that will keep you on track its way more fun and keeps you doing your best!
