I am finally getting back into the groove of exercising! I guess a couple of extra pounds added in about a year is enough motivation for me! The husband and I have been hitting the gym and trying to hit it regularly. This past week, I have gone to the gym on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday!
Today starts a new week and guess what? The husband and I went to the gym today too! I hope we can keep up the good work. I must try to get my jeans to fit comfortably not snugly.
Of course when you hit the gym, you also have a tendency to eat healthier so it is a plus. This past week we have eaten dinner at home on Monday through Thursday! It's great! I'm psyched about the progress.
So this upcoming week, I am hoping to go to the gym Sunday through Thursday and Saturday. I already have Sunday crossed off. I think I can achieve the goal as long as my co-workers do not ask me to go to lunch with them. I'm afraid then temptation will take over....I also need to come up with the meal plan for the week. Today we are going to dinner with my in-laws so I don't have to cook but what about the following 6 days? Hmm....my friend gave me this fish recipe that I want to try this week.

Unmotivated
I have a bunch of stuff to do this week and need to get the ball rolling but I am so unmotivated! I've been such a bad blogger. I haven't updated this blog for almost a month now. Everyday I keep saying, I will log on and update. Everyday I sit on my butt in the front of the TV. =(
Just a quite update, I was out with the flu about three weeks ago! I can't believe I got the flu. I usually get colds, maybe a bad cold, but I don't ever remember getting the flu. Unfortunately, as a by product of the flu, I trying to get rid of a cough! It's been about three weeks now and I still have THE COUGH!
On a better note, the husband and I have been going to the gym every Wednesday for the past two weeks. Now we just need to add 2 more days in that schedule to make 3 work-out days! One month and two days until vacation! I CAN'T wait! I'm so looking forward to vacation! I just need to remember to finish a bunch of projects (personal and work) before heading out.
I'm so proud of the husband today! Well, I must provide some history first. The husband is NO HANDYMAN! He avoids fixing things around the house until I give him a nudge (well, more like a kick in the butt ;P). It seems like there is always the excuse of "well, I don't know how to fix that" or "I don't know how to do this." You would wondered how they ever built skyscrapers if everyone kept up with those comments. Anyway, our place was built back in the 70's (1970's to be more specific). When we moved in, we made some cosmetic interior changes but we never fixed the bathrooms (limited funds ya know). Now, the outside bathtub on the second floor has a leak but we haven't fixed it yet. No one uses that bathtub so we don't want to spend the money just quite yet.
Anyway, we also have a bathroom in our bedroom. That bathroom has this faucet drip in the bathtub that is quite annoying to me. The husband seems to be fine with it but I really cannot tolerate faucet drips. If there's anything I can't stand (well...actually...there's probably a lot of things I can't stand), it's faucet drips. This past week, the dripping got worst. I mean, I used a one gallon tupperware to see how much the drip was for a day and the next day, it overflowed. This happened for a good 4 days. That's 4 gallons plus of wasted water! Today, we decided to head to Home Depot to buy a new faucet set. As we were getting ready to buy the set, this Home Depot employee, told us we needed a particular part to install the set. This part is called a "stem."
I had no idea what a "stem" was and of course the husband didn't know either. We followed the HD employee and he showed us the item. In talking to him, we also realized that we did not have to replace the whole entire faucet set, which would have cost about $ 80! Switching out the stem only cost about $ 15!
Anyway, we left HD and arrived home so that we could remove the original stem part. (The husband actually wanted to wait until NEXT WEEK to work on this project.) Can I say, eyeroll? I was, like, "No, we are fixing this dripping TODAY!" After the husband removed the stem, we headed back to HD and purchased the replacement part. The husband installed the new part and now we have a non-drip faucet! I LOVE IT! No more, drip, drip, drip, drip...... Plus, the husband learned how to fix a dripping faucet! Exra plus for him! =)

I did it! I signed up for my pilates classes! I bought a series of 10 classes to start out and I hope I like this new studio. It's close to home and actually also conveniently by the freeway as I head home from work too! I'm excited! My first class is this Sunday! I just hope this studio is as good as the previous studio I attended.
What other random thinking? Oh, I met with another bride AND GROOM this past Sunday and they booked me! Heehee...I think the groom was a bit taken aback. He said that I seemed kind of young and asked how long I have been wedding planning. Hmm...sometimes I think it's partly because I am short that makes me look young. Oh well...after 5 minutes with me, they were convinced I knew what I was doing! =)
As for continuing education, I printed out two sessions and I have been reading one session. My goal is to finish that session this month and read my February book, The Cider House Rules by John Irving. That's a lot of reading! I will have to cut back on web surfing which I really should because sometimes I can spend a few hours a night online wandering around aimlessly.
