I went on a Cardiac Diet

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!) =)

xoxo.
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! =(
