Nós sabemos que a cada dia que passa, crescemos mais um pouco como pessoa e como casal e a minha admiração pela sua força de vontade e sua determinação aumenta.

Eu amo muito você!!!

As usual...

... the forecast was wrong. We had a lovely day by the beach and as usual we ate more than we should at our friends house.

The week is starting with more sun and too much heat in the forecast.

I wil let you know!!!

Have a nice week.

The milk war

Ever since I was a baby, I battled against milk. Just the smell of it makes me sick.

But with my diet crusade, I had to have to break a few paradigmas and the milk was the chosen one!!

Yesterday, I went to the groceries store and I decided in favor of the soy milk. I gave the first try this morning and it wasn't that bad. I put it in the blender with 1/2 papaya and Voilá!!! Papaya Smothie with soy milk. I drank it and the best part of it.... it kept me full longer .

So far so good!!!

I hope your weekend is going fine!!!

~Kisses and Hugs~

Cleaning Weekend!!

I hope you had a wonderful first week of the year and your weekend is being better yet.

As I anticipated, this weekend is a cleaning weekend for me.

I spend Saturday afternoon cleaning the house, but I couldn’t finish, I still have the living room and the office to clean. And I still have to finish the laundry.

Don’t think my husband didn’t help. He was uncharged of the outside cleaning (Hall ways, kennel, porches). He did a good job as well. But Sunday will be a long day again.

On another subject, I went to see a doctor this past week about my hips. I am having a hard time to walk (for exercise). Every time I go for walk, I come back with a lot of pain on my left hip. As I already have osteoartrose in my neck, it is always a possibility.

The doctor pretty much confirmed my suspicious. Yesterday morning I went to take X-Rays and to make ultrasounds only to be sure. But I am seeing a bumpy road ahead of me.

It looks like I was already guessing when I decided to go for a more “strong” diet. I have to go back there this week and I will tell you what he says…

Have a nice Sunday!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve. Just the party decoration was a party by itself. It was a combination of tropical flowers, candles and white balloons.

We spent the evening with our friends. The food was outrageous and my shrimp and catupiry was a hit.

As the clock hit midnight we ran to the beach to jump the seven waves, we ate 12 grapes with Champagne and lentil soup to bring fortune!!!

But now the reality…. I gained back all the weight I had lost and I am back to ground zero again.

I will have to come up with a plan to exercise more and eat better.

New Year, New Goals. !!!

I already started the diet and I updated my weight tracker, so I will keep my self in my toes and I will reach my goal by the end of 2007.

I am back on the diet and I hope I will swim for at least 30 minutes tonight.

I will keep you posted!!!

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!!!
