“It was amazing, fun and well worth it.” How I did it: Ok so I have been over weight since I had my second child. I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with the after birth weight gain. I started trying everything under the sun. Acai berry, Alli, Aiken’s and dozens more. Also the old fashion way with changing my diet and exercising everyday. I would lose about 10lbs and then it would all just stop. I would still exercise and nothing happened. My doctor ever prescribed me some weight loss pill... Read Full Story

I am so excited I’m about to burst.  I’ve been waiting until just the right moment to write about my experience of becoming a first time auntie. My oldest sister is now 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant and we just found out that it’s a boy.  I so happy I can’t even explain.  I was kinda hoping for a girl because I already have two boys of mine own as all of you know, and I’m not planning on having another.  Well that option is still up in the air but I wanted her to have a girl because she would...

Image via Wikipedia On January 3rd I wrote a post about losing weight .  It has been a couple of weeks  since that post and I wanted to give an update.  I have been working really hard at eating healthy and exercising .  That’s has been something that I haven’t done in over about 2 years.  I say two years because I was pregnant with my youngest son for 9 months and I used that as an excuse to eat what ever I wanted. Since then I’ve  only talked about getting fit but didn’t do so.  I had... Read Full Story

A Long Island surgeon embroiled in a nearly four-year divorce proceeding wants his estranged wife to return the kidney he donated to her, although he says he’ll settle for $1.5 million in compensation. This is by far the most outrageous story I’ve ever heard.  I was in the kitchen cooking dinner with the television turned on to the news channel .  Out of nowhere they  announce that a...

Well Happy New Year everyone it’s now 2009, and I have to get off this holiday weight I’ve gained over the past two months.  Okay let me keep it real I need to lose all the baby weight I gained when I had my son.  He is now 1 year old but for some reason it’s been harder for me to loose the weight this time around.  What’s so strange is that I didn’t gain any weight the entire time I was pregnant but when I had him I gained almost 30 lbs.  Yeah I know that is a lot and I really thought It...

Image via Wikipedia Christmas is now over although I love the holiday season I’m also glad when it’s all over.  The holidays can be so over whelming with family , friends, parties birthdays, and work.  My birthday is three days after Christmas and I’ve never received and birthday gift until today.  When I woke up this morning my 4 year old son greeted me with a rose and a beautiful hand written birthday card .  It wanted to show me that he has been working on spelling his name.  I was...

Image via Wikipedia (CBS/AP) There’s been a mixed reaction so far to President Bush ’s promise of $17.4 billion in loans to troubled U.S. automakers. Congressional Republicans don’t like the idea of using money from the $700 billion bailout program intended for banks and other financial firms, and the union representing autoworkers says this is too harsh on its members. I was debating over the past few weeks  whether to right about the huge $17.4 billion bailout for the auto... Read Full Story
