back in the saddle

last week was amazing...who'da thunk!?
anyway, today i am going to go on to both sculpting and cardio and abs, a 3 for all!
i think it will work, i have done a week of working on technique and i think it will be a breeze.

on my day off, i did not eat like a pig either. portion control and i have learned to eat till i was not hungry, not till i was full...

and we are going up and getting P90X, WOO! a friend is giving it to us! i can not wait. but i think i will stick to P90 and do that to completion... i have a bad habbit on not finishing things and i will finish this first.

and guess what!? i lost 5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO!

*sigh* day 3

they say if you can make it thru the first week, you will be good to go!
who is they? i want to punch them in their cooters!

so back to cardio last night. did the warm up stretch and started on the works.

i HATE YOGA!!!!!!!

i was fine after that , but that upward dog, plank, downward dog crap kills me....so i paused the dvd, got some water and walked around till it was over! LMAO...cheater!

the rest of cardio was awesome, then came the abs!
i did all 100 reps !!!!!!!!!!!

tonight, back to sculpting I-II, i wonder if i will ever advance to III-IV? LOL

Day 2

i am beginning to think, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?
got home last night, changed and started on sculpting...with resistance band.
holy Toledo!
a resistance band is like this

i played with it when the box came in and thought, what a piece of cake....YEAH RIGHT!
so 30 minutes of warm-up, using these bands from hell and a cool down. then back to Abs.

so yeah, i am one sore lady today....

i did take my body measurements last night...every inch counts.
i did notice that one thigh is bigger then the other, by two and a half inches? strange! i measured Fred's and his is only like a quarter inch....hum? anyway, i have a goals....
goal #1 : lose 40 pounds. the reason? get back to pre-Lauren weight.
goal #2 : get my thighs even. now i look in the mirror i can see the difference! so weird.
goal #3 : get down to at least a size 9-10 in jeans... i never threw you out my darlings!
goal #4 : eat better. add for veggie and meats to my diet.
why? because i want Lauren to eat better and if i do, she will.

okay, so tonight i got cardio again....and abs....

by the way, in the past 4 days i have only had 1 1/2 cokes.! this is a big deal

day 1 of the the next three months

yes, i started a workout program and diet... time to shed that weight and get in shape. i think my low point was about January...i turned 35 and just looked in the mirror and thought, " what the hell have you done physically for the past 35 years?" after about 2 minutes of thinking and looking at myself in disgust, it donned on me! i need to get in shape and lose some of this extra flab.
so i kinda planted the seed. telling Fred i wanted p90x. www.beachbody.com
one day he called and mentioned a boot camp version of the famous program (p90x) called P90 or power 90. not as hard as the p90x, but you walk away with about the same results.

so i have it in my mine it's only 90 days, 3 months...not that long. i have made a few promises to myself and intend on keeping them. i finally am able to keep a journal on what enters my body and i am sure i write it all down ( kinda hard with all that damn Easter candy sitting there), but i look at it and say, nope! you have a promise to keep.

i am so took pictures like the program said....first day, 30 days, 60 days and the final. (i will work scrapbooking in to this you know> LOL)

so here is to a new me! my goals are number one right now and i will keep my promise to myself...

side note: glad Easter is over, enjoyed time with family.

talk to y'all soon!

ahhhh!

winter is over! i will miss you old man!
but i welcome spring, flowers, thunderstorms and the sun.

we have a lot to do, clean pool, finish the deck and plant the flower beds in the front.

girls weekend

Fred left yesterday to go on a weekend fishing trip with my dad, in Pecan island.
So, Lauren and i get our first girls weekend!
so far so good. Last night we did homework, played a few games and watched hannah montana and ate mcdonald's.
tonight we will be building a FORT in the living room, watching movies and eating pizza.

she was lonesome for her dada last night so i got his huge pillow and put his sleep pants on the pillow and his night shirt. she was so happy about that. and she slept with it all night! so cute! sucha daddy's girl.

i have no idea what to do for saturday, we might so shopping for a wedding present for some friends on the family? i just don't know yet.

i am glad fred is going and doing things, that man needs a hobby.
i will take some pictures tonight and try to post them tomorrow.
have a great weekend!

even though i can not recall much of it.
(i will have to watch it in full on DVR)

so glad they made it, So glad history was made.
and very glad i was off yesterday.

just days now

sleep is so overrated!
as i wait for the game to start sunday, i am overcome with dread and joy.
the pressure on the Boys will be so heavy. but they will overcome.
when we won the NFC title, i said many times, "i could careless about if we won the super bowl". but now, i know we can...we have too. not for new orleans, not for louisiana, but for us Fans...we need this...i will start praying for you guys!
give 'em hell out there!

Dear Miami:

The Saints are coming. And so are we, their loyal, long-suffering and slightly discombobulated Super Bowl-bound fans.

While there's still time to prepare -- although a few hard-core Who Dats will begin trickling in Monday, most of us won't arrive until Thursday or Friday -- we thought we'd give you a heads-up about what you should expect.

First things first: You need more beer.

Yeah, we know. You ordered extra. You think you have more than any group of humans could possibly consume in one week. Trust us. You don't.

New Orleans was a drinking town long before the Saints drove us to drink. But it turns out beer tastes better when you're winning. (Who knew?) So let's just say we're thirsty for more than a championship; adjust your stockpiles accordingly.

And look. When we ask you for a go-cup, be nice to us. We don't even know what "open container law" means. Is that anything like "last call"?

It's Carnival season in New Orleans (that's Mardi Gras to you), and we'll be taking the celebration on the road. So don't be startled if you walk past us and we throw stuff at you; that's just our way of saying hello.

Oh, and sorry in advance about those beads we leave dangling from your palm trees. We just can't help ourselves, also don't forget to order more beer.

February is also crawfish season, and you can be sure that more than one enterprising tailgater will figure out a way to transport a couple sacks of live mudbugs and a boiling pot to Miami.

When the dude in the 'Who Dat' T-shirt asks if you want to suck da head and pinch da tail, resist the urge to punch him. He's not propositioning you. He's inviting you to dinner.

And if you see a big Cajun guy who looks exactly like an old Saints quarterback walking around town in a dress ... don't ask. It's a long story. Have you ordered more beer yet?

We know that crowd control is a major concern for any Super Bowl host city. Our advice? Put away the riot gear.

Reason No. 1: Indianapolis is going to lose, and their fans are way too dull to start a riot.

Reason No. 2: New Orleans showed the world on Sunday that we know how to throw a victory party. We don't burn cars. We dance on them.

Reason No. 3: Even if we did lose, which we won't, leaving the stadium would be like leaving a funeral, and our typical response to that is to have a parade.

Speaking of which: If you happen to see a brass band roll by, followed by a line of folks waving their handkerchiefs, you're not supposed to just stand there and watch. As our own Irma Thomas would say, get your backfield in motion. Don't forget the beer order.

And hey, Mister DJ! Yes, we know you've already played that stupid Ying Yang Twins song 10 times tonight, but indulge us just one more time.

To us, "Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk)" isn't just a song; it's 576 points of good memories. It's the sound of a Drew Brees touchdown pass to Devery Henderson, a Pierre Thomas dive for first down on 4th-and-1, a Garrett Hartley field goal sailing through the uprights in overtime.

It's what a championship sounds like. You may get sick of hearing it. We won't. Encore, dammit.

Inside Sun Life Stadium, you may find your ears ringing more than usual. We're louder than other fans. Seven thousand of ours sound like 70,000 of theirs.

Don't believe us? Ask the 12th man in the Vikings huddle.

Some people think it's just the Dome that heightens our volume. But you're about to discover a little secret: We can scream loud enough to make your head explode, indoors or out.

It's not the roof. It's the heart.

Well, OK, and the beer. (Be SURE you ordered enough)

Don't be surprised if there are more Saints fans outside the stadium than inside. A lot of us are coming just to say we were part of history, even if we can't witness it up close. The Saints are family to us, and you know how it is with family: We want to be there for them, whether they really need us or not. Because we know our presence will mean something to them, whether they can see us or not. And for those of us outside the stadium, the beer stands should be no more than 50 feet apart.

Come to think of it, seeing as how you're taking us in for the week, we pretty much regard you as family, too. So we're warning you now: If you're within hugging distance, you're fair game.

Hugging strangers is a proud Who Dat tradition, right up there with crying when we win.

Most sports fans cry when their teams lose. Not us. We've been losing gracefully and with good humor for 43 years. Tragedy and disappointment don't faze us. It's success that makes us go to pieces.

Hurricane Katrina? We got that under control. The Saints in the Super Bowl? SOMEBODY CALL A PARAMEDIC!!!

So anyway, don't let the tears of joy freak you out. We're just ... disoriented.

OK. Let's review:

Order more beer. Throw me something, mister. Suck da heads. Wear da dress. Stand up. Get crunk. Hug it out. Protect your eardrums. Pass the Kleenex. Hoist the trophy.

See you at the victory party.

Faithfully yours,

The Who Dat Nation

this is wonderful

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

first off, THANKS DAD!!!!!!!! i love, LOVE my birthday gift!
i will wear it with Pride and Love in my black and gold soul!

and now, my insight on that game Sunday...

holy crap, was that awesome? nail bitter, heart attack for those long hours of play.
texting back and forth with my dad...phone calls with mom...
i started to think that "those people" were right.
that the NFL wanted a farve / manning super bowl.... the refs were calling crappy plays and then our guys were playing shotty. Bree's was off and the "slippy handed bush" was not on mark.
but then OT came....i HATE NFL over time...sudden death , it all depends on that coin, heads or tails.... Bree's called it and BAMMMMMMM! we got the ball. COME ON GUYS , show them what you can do....
it all came down to the field goal kicker....Garrett Hartley....when i saw him walk on the field my stomach turned....i knew the Vike's were gonna screw with him , they had a TO left....and they did... went out side to catch my breath, i was hyper-ventilating.

then the time came.... Hartley up, he can make this...He has too...
I started praying Our father....when i got to : but deliver us from evil, he kicked.... OMG it looks good.... will it go thru, THANK you Lord it went thru....
tears streamed down my cheeks... Cheers all thru the house! THE SAINTS MADE IT!

since the SAINTS started Nov. 1,1966. they had never made it to this level!
going to the SUPA BEAUXL!


WHO DAT?

WE DAT!

now i sit , enjoying the win, will they beat Manning? at this point i could careless.
my boys are going to the 305 and that is an awesome feat in it's self.
congrats to them! they deserve it.

GEAUX SAINTS!
