Happy Monday!
So, I'm totally on track regarding my Summer Goal List.
A huge part of my list is about improving myself- taking risks and enjoying life outside the malls.
So, I have signed up for 2 cake decorating classes, and I am also signing up for Ballroom and Salsa dancing. On top of all that, I am still boxing... which actually has been brought to a new level since I am now going to be sparring tons- within my gym and at other gyms. A bit scary, yes. However, I refuse to give in to that.
So, on certain days I box, I do cardio tons on my own, I have cake decorating on Wednesdays for the next 4 weeks and certain Sundays. Then on Friday nights for the next 6 weeks, I have ballroom and salsa.
I need to find soemone who will teach me how to sew :)

100 things about me (21-40)
21.) At approximately 7:52PM, Sunday, July 6th, 2008- I MISS MY HUSBAND TERRIBLY!!
22.) I used to be fat. 180 lbs. fat.
23.) I now work out A LOT. Practically everyday. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes 3 times a day.
24.) I LOVE boxing.
25.) Paolo Coelho is my favorite author.
26.) I am not very religious, but I am incredibly spiritual.
27.) I try to buy flowers every week at Trader Joe's for my house. It somehow makes me feel incredibly happy and totally brightens up my day.
28.) I am the youngest of 4 children. All girls. Huge difference in age between me and my 3 sisters. It has its pros and cons.
29.) I believe that in a past life, I was from Africa.
30.) I absolutely dread Sunday nights. They always freak me out because it means that it's Monday the next day.
31.) I am currently looking for grain free dog food that does not contain chicken or chicken meal. I believe that Cash is allergic.
32.) I am ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED of pregnancy weight, which is the reason why I don't believe I'm ready to have a baby.
33.) I have tons of lists- I'm afraid that if it's not on my list, there's a huge probability that it won't get done.
34.) I used to want to be a doctor- only now, the thought of blood and touching other people totally grosses me out.
35.) I don't like to be touched really- don't hug me unless I reach out to you.
36.) I have a weakness for french fries, ice cream- actually all types of desserts.
37.) I hate small talk- especially with my neighbors.
38.) I am working on realizing that I am not an island and that often times, I need other people. This is incredibly hard for me since I've crashed and burned so many times, and I am now having to learn to reach out to people, which means putting myself out on the line.
39.) I love my dad's side of the family. My mom's side- not so much. I know the feeling is mutual as well.
40.) I love giraffes and elephants. Most def my two favorite large animals. Did you know that elephants never forget who did them wrong- and that they seek out revenge?

100 things about me (1-20)
To try and amuse myself, I thought I would copy this from someone's blog... in no order of importance- just however they come to mind.
1.) I was born in the Philippines.
2.) I was the spelling bee champ- 7th and 8th grade.
3.) My husband is my best friend and my one great love. I got pretty lucky that way.
4.) I don't have a lot of girlfriends. I've never been good at it. Although I am now realizing the importance of this and am working towards building FABULOUS friendships. One uppers, takers, slackers, etc. need not apply.
5.) I've always been driven- Ambitious, let's say. Not in a bad way. I would never cross anyone to make my dreams come true. Just hard work and determination. After all, we're all here with our own paths and goals.
6.) I LOVE to read.
7.) I have a deep affinity for shoes. And bags. And clothes for that matter.
8.) My oldest niece looks like me. People often think we're twins.
9.) I can eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for weeks at a time and not get sick of it.
10.) I have 3 journals that I write in every night- my gratitude journal, my affirmation journal, and my emotions journal.
11.) I'm in therapy and I'm damn proud of it. It's definitely the best thing anyone can do for themselves. I highly recommend it.
12.) I have a better relationship now with my father than I ever have- and he's deceased. I do miss him though, but enjoy my talks with him. I know he's around.
13.) For the first time ever, I'm on a budget, and DAMN- it's hard. We're trying to buy a house and trying to save more than usual. Definitely an adjustment period.
14.) I LOVE sparkling water. We buy cases and cases of Pellegrino at Costco.
15.) I got married at the age of 22 to the most wonderful man I know.
16.) I now feel more grown up than I ever have. More so than when I first got married. More so than when we first moved out on our own and had responsibilities.
17.) I have two beautiful pugs- Jamba and Cash. They are the best. They are incredibly spoiled and I would not have it any other way.
18.) I am incredibly grateful for everything and everyone in my life.
19.) I am working on being positive all the time. It's an everyday challenge.
20.) My mom is my best friend. My other best friend. I see her practically everyday.

It's a BLAH day!
Asides from the fact, that in all actuality, I did have a decent day, I can't help but feel a little sad.
Or indifferent.
Maybe a bit of both?
After having my husband home for 4 days- 2 days longer than usual, I got used to having him here.
Now, I can't help but feel pretty sorry for myself.
HA!
I just miss him- that's all.
It's weird to have someone to talk to at night and sleep next to, and then all of a sudden not have it again- at least not for two weeks.
I guess I'm having problems sharing. Sharing my husband.
Although I know now is not the time to be selfish- especially with all these fires out there.
Jesus, give me strength!
Life is GRAND- even though it is trying me right now.

Off day
Today...
I trained for 2 1/2 hours.
BUT...
despite the amount of time I trained, I was still off. At least on the bag.
Better on the speed bag though.
Tomorrow- I'm spinning and lifting.
Saturday is spinning.
Sunday is yoga.
Damn! I gotta lose the last bit of this. Seriously.
