Day 52

Ashes to Ashes

Today is the begining of lent, fresh starts. It's constumed to give something up during lent or do something that is good. All day I pondered what I would do or give up. I don't want to do something superficial like give up bread, soda, tortillas, etc. I want to do or give up something that will make a difference in others or my life.

I have a clutter/hoarding problem that has trickled into my children, and it has been bothering me for some time now. For lent I am going to make a conciouse effort to organize my life and home

Thanks to Little Bits of Life blog , I found I'm an Organizing Junkie.

And Peter Walsh is on Oprah tomorrow, gotta be a sign.

Day 50

Confessions

It feels like I blinked and January was gone, and now I am on Day 50.

I haven't been on track with the weight-loss. I don't want March to arriave and feel like I let February go to waste on this journey. I was going to go on and on about my confessions of what I haven't done and when I started to think about it, yes I haven't lost the weight I wanted to loose in January but I did accomplish a lot. I rather focus on my accomplishments

I started to take a longer route (2-miles) to pick up daughter from school.

I started to take vitamins that are good for me.

I try to make good food choices.

I started to exercise again.

I can go on to say they are days I don't do all those things but at least I do them some of the time. So for that I applaude me.

Computer Crashed

Our home computer crashed. Fourtunetly we have a couple of laptops but they are a bit outdated. I'm going to have to do a blog roll on my site to remember blogs I read, some I never bothered to learn the names.

I'm so bummed that it's possible that I lost so much, specially my pictures. This is why it's not good ot procrstinate. I was going to get around saving them on disc. :(

Day 49

Wishy Washy

Now why can't we loose hundrends of calories doing laundry? I've been doing laundry late at night to save on energy and cost. I read somewhere that doing laundry late at night helps with the energy and gas bill.

Day 48

You are Beautiful

Today I felt rejected, fat, out of whack etc, etc. So I ate and ate and ate. I finally caugth on what I was doing and how I was feeling that I snapped myself out of it. I can't compare myself to others. I have to learn that I am beautiful in my own right.

Artist: Christina Aguilera
Album: Stripped
Title: Beautiful

Don't look at me Every day is so wonderful

And suddenly, it's hard to breathe

Now and then, I get insecure

From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring me down

I am beautiful in every single way

Yes, words can't bring me down

So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious

So consumed in all your doom

Trying hard to fill the emptiness

The piece is gone and the puzzle undone

That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say

Words won't bring you down

You are beautiful in every single way

Yes, words won't bring you down

Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do

(no matter what we do)

No matter what they say

(no matter what they say)

When the sun is shining through

Then the clouds won't stay

And everywhere we go

(everywhere we go)

The sun won't always shine

(sun won't always shine)

But tomorrow will find a way

All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words won't bring us down

We are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words can't bring us down

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today

Day 47

Dancing Feet

I didn't get the job. "It was a really hard decission, blah blah blah, but we went with another candidate, blah blah blah." Oh well. God has something better in store for me, just hope he'd hurry up to show me what it is, is all I'm saying.

I was feeling a little bummed and the opportunity to go out appeared, so I took it. :)
