How Was Your Weekend??

My weekend was marvelous.  I had such a good time.  I feeling every bit of tired this Monday.  This weekend has reminded me that I am not young anymore.  I is getting old.

On Friday I hung with friends and fanily at happy hour. They did a 45 minute Harlem Shuffle mix and I was right there.  I did the whole shuffle, and in the process I had to take my shoes, I sweated out my hair, but I did not stop moving.  If it was a contest I probably could have won.  The dj played all my old school jams. That shuffle served as my 45 minutes of cardio. Here is my pic from Friday night.  My eyes are looking a little low on the picture cause I was tipping. 

On Saturday, I ran errands with my sister and went shopping for a handkerchief for my dad. It was fun hanging out with her, we haven't done anything like that for a while.  On a sad not the vet gave me bad news about my doggy, Nino.  She says that he needs to have surgery ASAP or I need to put him to sleep.  How do you make these decisions.  I am still troubled by it. I want to do what is best by him, but he is old and have lived a good life for the past 14 years. I'm so sad behind that situation.

On Saturday night I went to a friends Halloween party.  My costume was out of sight. I was Snooki from Jersey Shore, and if I say so myself I was a damn good looking Snooki.  The party was fun and the dj was on one. He kept me moving.  Check out my costume. I made my own sunglasses. 

On Sunday it was my social groups F.I.R.E 3rd Anniversary. We had a quick bite to eat before going to Pinot's Palette. Pinot's Palette is a place where you are able to enjoy wine, appetizers, and paint a potrait.  I am so very proud of my potrait. All the ladies did a great job. Pinots Palette is the type of place that is right up my alley.  I love doing things like that.  I like to go to those paint your own pottery places and here I can paint a portrait on canvas.  I absolutely can't wait to go back. For some reason activities like this calms me.

T.G.I.F.

T.G.I. F. Blog World!!!!!

I am so glad its Friday.  This week has been a long one.  I started back working out 1000% and my workload at the new j.o.b. has gotten bigger. I'm not complaining about it because it makes my day go by fast.

I am so looking forward to this weekend. Tonight is happy hour with my sister and then later with my friends. Tomorrow is a Halloween party , I am excited. I am dressing up in costume and can't wait to see how it turns out.  I will be sure to post photos.  Then on Sunday the F.I.R.E. girls and I will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary.  We will be doing something new together.  I can't wait, I'm so excited. We will be going to a place called Pinots Palette. We will be able to drink wine and paint a picture together. This should be fun because I love those "paint your own pottery" places.

I said I'm excited so many times throughout this post.  Well I am. I haven't been this excited in awhile. You guys will hear all about it, come Monday. 

Have a great weekend!!!!!

Feeling Good

I am all smiles today.
I feel so blessed.
I have a job after two years.
I have family and friends that love me and I am so grateful to have them in my life. I wouldn't have made it these past two years if it wasn't for them.  I love them so.
I am just so thankful for everything that is going on in my life.  I feel so appreciative. Things come in due time, patience is the key.
I haven't felt like this in a long time.
I am just full of happiness.

Self Worth

According to the dictionary self worth is described as," respect for or favourable opinion of oneself".
I bring this this up because I was having lunch with a really good friend of mine and we were talking about the relationship between me and my husband. (We are currently separated) She said something like,"I think you allow it because you don't feel like there is someone else out there for you, you don't know what your are worth."  I hope that I am quoting her correctly.

Anyway it got me to thinking, do I value who I am as a person, do I know my self worth?  Those are two very good questions. My initial response to those questions is "I think so".  I should know, why don't I know.  But what determines a person's self worth?  I know that I don't deserve the way he treats me. He shows me no respect, to be honest he treats me as if we just met and not like we have known each other since we were 14.  There are so many questions I can ask myself, "why do I allow him to do this, what keeps me in this position, and why do I allow myself to continue to be hurt by him"  With that being said, his number goes on the call block list. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I pray that it stays there this time around. As for me calling him, if I get the urge to call or text I will just find someone else to call or pray for the strength to not call.

Hopefully by me cutting him off, I can begin to become the best that I can be, and learn my true self worth.  Aren't we all a work in progress?

Cheddar Sour Cream Ruffles

On Monday I started Dr. Ian Fat Smash diet.  I needed this diet, I have gained weight.  I worked so hard to loose the pounds so that I could fit in a bikini for my birthday, just to gain it back. Oh, no no.  So, I started the Fat Smash. I been doing pretty well except for that one day, I broke down and had some Cheddar Sour Cream Ruffles.  Those are my favorite chips now. It was only a handful, but in my mind that hand full held me back.  I was actually surprised that, I only had a hand full because usually I would have finished that bag. I ended up giving them to my nephew. That's in the past and I am only moving forward. Wish me luck.

Getting Back to It

I have neglected my blog in so many ways.  I didn't meant to, it just sort of happened. 
Sometimes I feel as if I have ADD.  Its like I start something but don't finish, even though I really wanted to do it. I started this blog, and I am going to make a conscious effort to blog at least Monday - Friday. Maybe somebody should send me a blog challenge or something so that I would be forced to. So, if there is anyone out there reading my blog and want to tag me in a blog challenge, go ahead and do it.
