which is sort of like the cabbage soup diet, but with variations. the 2nd day you get to eat a baked potatoe, and on the 4th you can eat beef. i unfortunately did cheat along the way, it's just very very difficult to exist on leafy veggie soup all day. however, after one week, with some exercising, i lost 8lbs! wow, i'm very happy. I can stand to lose about 5 more. BUT BUT, i'm totally veering off. this week we already had 3 dinner out with friends, and i need not go into details as to what we ate, but it was def a no-no of course. and i've been munching on sweets. i will however, try to go back on diet as best as i can, because, health first! eating less or no oil really helps alot in terms of loosing weight! and this diet allows a lot of fruit and even unsweetened fruit juice (but most juice are so sweet naturally)- that suger don't seem to be a 'main' factor, i think it's oil!!
wish me luck!
ps superman joined me on this diet, but of course he didn't really need to loose any weight to begin with. he cheated more of course, since he can, and he lost 5lbs! his waist is definitely trimmer! =)

I've never WON a Sweepstake!
Have you?
Well, let me rephrase, I've never won any major sweepstakes!
Sometimes, I'll receive a lip gloss I may have won from a fashion magazine... and maybe a pencil, eye shadow, sample size of something or two. You get the point. I've never won anything substantial!
With the economy the way it is..... and I've just started clipping coupons and braving stores that give me 'crap' for it, but nevertheless going at it head on. A new idea popped up, what about entering sweepstakes?! What if, What if... yes I'm sure the statistics of winning is probably close to the state lottery or are my chances better?! You know what they say, you have to think positive, think 'winner!'
So here I go, since I am without job, always always serving my darling daughter, I suppose I can carve out a chunk of time to enter sweepstakes!
So this is my personal endeavor and blog. I'm posting all the sweeps I enter and official rules, for myself. You can just laugh at me for my futile attempts, or laugh with me, or just enter for yourself too.
Now, has anyone actually ever win or can some of these sweeptakes be a scam! Well, let's find out.

supergirl is doing great, albeit a little slow on gaining weight! she does not like to eat meat nor egg yolk! her favorite is squash soup. oh! she does like fishsticks though! she's not picky per se as an eater, she does seem to ingest a lot!! hmm... we'll have to keep 'fatting' her up. =0)
she's sososoososososososososososososo cute and smart and the light of my life. she's got a over 2 dozen words in her vocabulary and she's assertive, uses a combination of gestures, facial expressions, sounds, and words to ask for what she wants when she wants it. hahaha~
she loves to dance and sing too. always fun to watch!
she is still co-sleeping with us, but we wouldn't want it any other way. it's been colder this past week and she loves to snuggle in my arms--- i enjoy it so much. and she wakes up talking in her babytalk and blowing me kisses!! (most days!) =)

took supergirl to her pediatrician's office yesterday. while, she needs to gain weight- i really need to loose weight. it's been almost a month, i thought i was eating smarter, and definitely more active... but i gained 3 more pounds! (yes, i weighed myself at the office!) i'm very disappointed. i've never been this overweight in my life and friends' notice and comment on it!! that's how awful it is and how awful i feel. =( i haven't done much of any shopping for self since i was pregnant, and now everything is starting to feel tight and uncomfortable..... and i just don't care to shop. i just want to go back to my normal weight- healthy!
but, i'm secretly fearing maybe there's another reason i'm gaining so much weight? can something else be wrong with me? but is totally dragging my feet to see my doctor! =(

so i've started working out......
it's 15-20 mins of dancing, stretching, crunches, and push-ups. usually supergirl dances with me.... or sits on my tummy as i do crunches. it's only been a week, but superman says i look 'tighter.' lol. i have a good 10 lbs to drop! it acutally feels good to sweat. =)
anyway, all this weight gain; i just haven't felt like going out... nothing seems to fit well! it's a terrible feeling. i wish i took better care of myself when i was thinner! i just took it for granted. when supergirl was 6 months old, hmm.. about a year ago, i weighed 10 lbs less than i do now. =(
all these hormones kicking in and my insatiable sweet tooth. though, i've been able to quit lots of snacks cold turkey by now. not fun.
wish me luck!

weight gain
it's been about 2 months since i've stopped nursing supergirl. (i still miss it at times!) she's so darling, she still likes to snuggle into my chest sometimes, haha which can be kinda cute and kinda weird.
i've gained so much weight since then!! a lot. it's seems all the fats' gone to my tummy, thighs, butt, and arms. my arms are sosoosososossoososo flabby. i've never been this out of shape or overweight, i felt thinner and more in shape when i was pregnant! it's all flabby now. and what surprises superman and i is how suddenly and how fast my body just morphed.
i dropped all my pregnancy weight around 6 months after giving birth to supergirl. i was so proud and pleasantly surprised. now i believe it was just do to lack of sleep and the constant nursing perhaps. my tummy was so flat, arms were thin, and no weight gain on my hips at all!! i couldn't believe it. i ate chocolate, lots of suger (maybe cuz i needed energy really badly), and whatever i wanted.
then... my period returned when supergirl was 8 months. i did start to gain a little weight then, thanks to my hormones and pmsing, and my skin started to break out. boo hoo. i suppose i should have been more careful about what i ate and worked out, but i didn't.
so by the time supergirl was 15 months, my skin was wrecked. it doesn't help that i like to 'pick.' such a bad habit which i do enjoy though! anyhow, and now... at 17 months, hahahahaha i am overweight!! i would say a good 10 lbs packed on since 16 months. i blame it all on myself and my inability to stop drinking sugary drinks and sugary snacks!!!!!!
i've since started a new beauty regimen last month, and my skin is definitely clearing up. and somehow i've refrained from picking at my zits. i was just conversing with my sister and totally realized that 8 out of 10 pimples i have were do to my own picking! if i feel a bump and i just had to pick at it and it get's infected since i've not gentle to my skin, i pretty much squeeze until my a layer of my skin comes off! =( bad bad habit. but yes, i seem to be doing ok in not doing that for now.
and i've swore off sugary drinks=== sort of. i was obessess with 'izze' (carbonated juice) for a while and it's 120 calories a pop, i can down more than one a day! and sugar flavored tea. i've since cut down, but am a bit addicted to real honey lemonade. and yes i do know honey is sugar, but it has to be better than white cane sugar right?! here's to hoping.
and i've stopped chowing down on chocolate, but have picked up on chips. i've been weighing it out, salty better than sugary?
anyway, i'm just happy my skin is recovering, i really really need to take care of my body though. i feel like i'm just wrecking myself. i can't get myself to workout. i'm not a lazy person, supergirl keeps me plenty busy and we are active!! we go out walking almost everyday........ but i just can't seem to want to do any cardio, at all.
and i still don't like to sleep. and i don't get good quality sleep.
i'm a heavy dreamer. and serious dreamer. when i sleep, it's like i am living in another place.
so i never feel fully rested--- never.
i can remember people i meet in my dreams, read in dreams, memorize numbers in my dreams. yeah it's pretty crazy. so i wake up darn exhausted. =(

Like a Tree
You are like a Tree – Like a mighty oak, people who fall into the Tree category tend to be down-to-earth, with strong roots that provide strength to stand up to life’s daily challenges, and long branches to nurture those you care about. But like a tree’s leaves changing in the fall, you might find that your moods change when life’s challenges occasionally overwhelm you.
