Quick Post

Hi Friends!  Glad that I still have some readers out there.  Is a great joy to get comments on what I'm posting.  Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that I have great plans for this Summer.  I already put my new schedule to work for a few days.  Its helping me to not get sidetracked.  I still have to work on being less time on Facebook.  Yes, that place take away lots of my time.

I have a motivational groups that I keep up with and well, in a way I get learn a lot from other people.  But its taking away my time from other important activities.  Just like blog reading did to me a few years ago.  Balancing our time and saving our free time for fun activities is good.  We do not neglect our important activities  and we still have time to sit and relax on our favorite media site.

Hope all of you have a great week.

Summer Plans

Hi Friends.  Sorry for not posting as usual.  I get so caught up in other activities, that I don't have time to sit and  write a post.

I'm doing well. Updating my schedules for the coming up Summer. The kids are still in school for a few more weeks.

 This past Tuesday, one of my nephews promoted to High School.  He finished 8th grade and graduated with honors.  My children and I attended the graduation ceremony.  To make the night even more special.  My sister and her husband were celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary.

A few weeks ago, my children participated in their school's Music concert.  Here they are with their music instructor.  Marah plays the violin and Julian plays the drums and acoustic guitar.

On Mother's Day I went to visit my Mom.  My sister and I took pictures with our children.  Two of my sister were in Mexico at the time, that's why we did not take a picture with Mom.

This is my sister Erica and her kids

Next is my daughter and I.

 My Son and I ,after Mass was over. 

After Mass we went to a restaurant to eat.

My mother, my sister and I ordered margaritas.

Here is Mom with her drink.

  I continue to do exercise.  I have a walking buddy now.  We walk Monday- Friday for one hour.  My new friend goes to the same parish I go to.  A few months ago, I was leaving my house and saw her walking on my street.  I ask her if she lived close.  She said she lived a few block away and that she walked every morning around the neighborhood.  I asked her if I could join her on her next walk.  We have been walking together since then.  And now she is also attending the prayer group on Tuesdays.

I have been getting lots of positive comments on how thin I look.  I have lost 17 pounds.  The last 12 pounds were from February to May.  Shakeology has been a great addition to my healthy food choices.  I keep telling people that my success has been a combination of exercise, nutrition and motivational support.

I have not yet reached my weight loss goal.  But I continue to exercise and I keep making those healthy food choices to maintain my weight and not gain back the pounds.

I hope all of you are doing well.  I will try to post more this Summer.  I'm updating schedules and will be concentrating on declutering certain areas in my home.  The attic is finally free of all those donation boxes.  There is still a few boxes that need to make their way out.  But the clutter is more contained.

The office needs lots of work.  But I will leave that for the next post.  Take care and keep calm, smile and be have fun this summer.
