I couldn't believe the words my mom said to me last night while I was at her house. She said, "Michael Jackson died!" I said what!? What are you talking about? Farrah Fawcett is the one that died today. She said watch the news, they found him with no pulse and they couldn't revive him. As soon as she said that, I turned on the tv and went online. I saw on TMZ that indeed he did die. I was shocked! I could not believe it! I never knew the man but I grew up listening to his music and … [Read more...]
Happy “Late” Father’s Day
June 25, 2009 by 4 Comments
(This post was scheduled for Monday but for some reason, it was never posted, so here it is.....days later) This past Sunday was a very special day to all the Dad's out there that are active in their kid's life. I say "active" because there are many father's out there that don't even acknowledge that they have kids so the moms have to be both Mom and Dad. So to those moms, Happy Father's Day to you too! I hope it was a good day. I was one of the lucky ones. My Dad was a wonderful … [Read more...]

EA Sports Active Update – Day 19
June 19, 2009 by 3 Comments
I fell off the exercise wagon two weeks ago. I couldn't help it. And I was so ready for the 30 Day Challenge but I forgot about the "woman issues" that I go through. Back & abdominal pain, bloating, feeling nauseous, tired, etc...the list can go on and on. But I did hop back on the wagon and I'm continuing the challenge. So far, I've done 10 workouts and I feel great! My legs are a bit toned and I've lost some of my "love handles". Slowly but surely I can tell I'm losing the fat … [Read more...]

Trying to Lose weight? Remember to eat your fats!
June 15, 2009 by 2 Comments
Most people think they need to start eating low fat or eat no fat at all in order to lose weight. That is true, to a point. They forget that our bodies need the "good" fats in order for our metabolism to work properly and to stay healthy and stay away from the "bad" fats such as saturated fats that clog up your arteries. The editors from Fitness Magazine say to have a small amount of fat in every meal. It digests slowly, so you'll feel satisfied for a longer period of time and you'll eat … [Read more...]

I've been seeing this at Hissip, my favorite Latina gossip site and she does this every week.

I knew people were going to have a hard time with Entrecard as soon as they started those darn paid … [Read more...]
Just one of those days…
June 13, 2009 by 1 Comment
Well, I have to say it's just one of those days. My week hasn't been the best week because of me not feeling well and it won't be a great weekend either. I was super excited about the Big Apple BBQ Block Party happening today and tomorrow but my vehicle decided to tell me otherwise. I'm having car trouble so that leaves me to stay home, which isn't a bad thing but I really wanted to eat some BBQ ribs, chicken, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, drink some beer and interact with people. I … [Read more...]

I decided to do one of these while I was reading Isolated Existence (which is a great blog), so I thought I should do one too. So here are mine: 1. I grew up thinking I was fat because I have thick thighs. 2. Twitter was the last website I was at before coming here. 3. Why don't you sign up for Swagbucks? It's awesome! 4. Coffee helps me relax. 5. Thanks for the visit, I really appreciate it.. 6.Laundry sometimes can become very off-putting. 7. And as for the … [Read more...]
