Can I Do It or NOT!

 

Well as some of you may know I started kickboxing on March 2nd. I had been procrastinating but finally went and I can say that I really enjoy it. It is so much fun even though I sweat and get my butt kicked. It is a great workout. I also started walking/running during lunch or after work on the days I do not go to kickboxing. I have cut down from 6 sodas a day to about 1-2 a day and try my hardest to consume 6-8 glasses of water a day. I also now take my lunch to work instead of eating out every day. My habits have changed tremendously BUT....I don't see the weight coming off. I'm getting kind of bummed about it. I know that I have a lot more energy and also my endurance has gone up. My first week of kickboxing I could not even do 1 push up or do jump roping or a lot of other things. I can say after 10 kickboxing classes I can do a lot more push ups then 1, I can do about a lot more jump roping without stopping, about 85 jumps. I can do lungs and so much more. I feel the difference in my body, I feel so much better but I do not see the weight dropping off.  I know I should be patient. 

 

But when. Do not worry I will not be giving up. I have a contract with Kickboxing so I am stuck for a year so I guess that is a good thing.

On another note I am so proud of myself because last Thursday I ran 2 miles straight without stopping. I am so thrilled. Check out my status from my Nike

Wow! Can you believe that! So I decided I would try it again. So on Saturday I went for it again and I did it without stopping....Whooo Hooo!

and guess what I did it again today. I came home from kickboxing and went straight to run. 

I am so excited and proud of myself.....I am going to start to do more cardio also. 

I will continue to drink my water and go to my kickboxing classes on M/W/F and continue to run. I will not give up.

Week 13: Project Life (March 13th thru March 19th)

    Week 13 Already! Enjoy 

 I love my niece to come over. She is a great baby and is so happy. Always smiling.

 Happy 10 year Anniversary Patrick and Angie.

 My cousin Amy and her family came down from Houston and we had a BBQ. Her daughter Amanda adored Angelina.

 I was putting something away in the refrigerator and look what I found in there. Yes, Micah's DS on the top shelf. I could not help but run and get my camera. When I asked him if he did this, of course his answer was "NO".

 I have two pictures for Thursday. I came out of the shower this morning to find my niece just loving on my pillow. Isn't this adorable. 

The bottom picture are my kids and niece Angelina posing for "St. Patrick's Day".

 Look who my kids bumped into right at 5 o'clock, yes...Mr. Webster. They did not even give him a chance to change out of his work clothes.

 And finally my husband did an awesome job on the garden he and the kids put together. This is mine and his box, the kids have their own. We have 2 types of lettuce, asparagus, and tomatoes in ours. Great Job Hunny. 
Enjoy!Queen April

Happy 10th Anniversary

We got invited to a get together to share a special day with a special couple, "The Reinfords". 

It was casino night at their house and Velinda and Vince walked away with the prizes. 

Happy Anniversary Patrick and Angie!

Happy St. Patties Day!

 

 

Happy St. Patrick's everyone. 

This is my adorable niece Angelina. I picked her up on Saturday to spend the day with us. She and I went to Target and found some cute outfits for her, especially this St. Patrick's outfit for only $5.00. 

I immediately dressed her and put on a bow and busted out my camera...

Great St. Patrick's photos. 

Enjoy.

Watch me grow....

A Night To Remember!

Go Blue Go!

 

I am so proud of my oldest nephew Anthony a.k.a "B.B". Friday, Feb. 25th was MOC tryouts and at first he did not want anyone there but then at the last minute he wanted everyone there so YES I was ready to be there. I was sitting in the middle right were he stood and tried out. It was perfect for me and my camera. I got great shots of him, it was as if he was looking right at me. I love this boy so much and so proud of him for making the TEAM. I can not wait to get my cheer shirt and be at every function capturing the moment of his Senior year. I will be know as his "Paparazzi Auntie".

 

World Thinking Day!

 

Here is Hannah at one of her Girl's Scout functions. 

Proud Auntie!

I would like to say that I am an Aunt who is honored to be a aunt to my nephews and nieces. I love all of them so much. 

Sunday I had the privilege to take care of the two little babies. 

Devin and Angelina. 

These babies are amazing and I love when I can have them over, today they had a play date at Auntie's house. 

My family and I had so much fun taking care of them, giving them both all the attention they deserve.

 

I put both the babies in Angelina's travel pak and rolled them over to the living room to play with big Legos. Micah and Hannah are so great with them, they just adore them.

  I love the way Devin came over in the morning to my house in his Pajamas. Love the colors and he looked so adorable. He is very attached to his parents so even though he knows me very well he still cry's. But we immediately put on one of his favorite movies "Monster's Inc" and he was so in-tuned to it that he forgot about his parents dropping him off. :) We then brought Micah's Big Leggos over so he could play and he really enjoyed them that I went to Walmart really fast leaving both babies with Uncle Vince and went to buy him his own set of Big Legos. I also bought Angelina a couple of stuff also. I love to spoil all of my nephews and nieces with love and more. 

Thank you Lord for allowing me be the BEST Aunt I can be!

Week 9: Project Life (Feb. 27- Mar. 5)

   

 

Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011

Here is Hannah and her buddy Carissa at Sunday night worship service. Carissa hung out with Hannah all day today and let me tell you they played and played and played. They were outside jumping in the trampoline and then playing with our neighbor. They were sweating and dirty by the time 6 pm came around. I quickly took both of them a shower and dressed them for Sunday night worship. They were exhausted but had such a great time having a play date. 

Monday, Feb. 28, 2011

I had Micah get in the shower to bath and so he did, but when he was suppose to get out and get dressed I found this. I turned around from my computer dress to find him on the toilet doing #2. I got a kick out of this because why didn't he go before he took a shower instead he waited until afterwards. It was too funny, he was just staring down I guess waiting for it to come on out....Too funny...

Today was a great day for both my nephew B.B. and daughter Hannah. 

Hannah went on a field trip that I had to miss but her daddy was there for her. She went to HEB and had a great time. As for my nephew he made the cheerleading team at "Moody". I am so proud of him.

March 2, 2011 Wednesday

Today Dylan had his basketball game against St. Cyril. I had to miss this one again because of month end at work. BUMMER....but of course my hubby tagged me in and was there to support Dylan. They ended up losing today but by one point. it was 14-15...very close game...Good Job Dylan

I slipped today and did not take a picture...BUMMER...

Friday, March 4, 2011This was Day 2 of Kickboxing class and I come home looking like a tomato and drenched in sweat and my body feeling like jelly. But it is a start...and will not QUIT...

Saturday, March 5, 2011Today Hannah went to her first day camp for Girl's Scouts. She was so excited and her daddy and I supported her and was with her all day long. Even thought the day started off driving to the camp in rain and then a cold front came in we stuck it out. The best thing about her camp was her Row boat ride. She was a trooper. 

This was my week. Enjoy...
