First I have to start off saying how very sorry I am, I have not been the best buddy lately, hell even my computer is missing me! I have been very busy, yes still sticking with my exercise every day woot!

But seriously this is a very busy time of month for me and on top of that my best friend has been really awesome, coming over all the time to hang out with me as I try to help her, she has a lot on her plate, single mother of two, with a job at the gas station around the corner and she also takes care of her disabled father, all on her small pay check….I feel for her, she is trying so hard to take care of her loved ones, her boy’s dad quit his job so he wouldn’t have to pay child support! So I love making dinner for her kids and mine and I have been spending my time with her, giving her as much support as I can since she is having a really time in life…

Life, it sure can deal all of us a hard hand…but we all continue, we all go on and face every day….I figure its best to be optimistic, when you see a beautiful sunrise it can be so very uplifting, the birds flying in the sky can really give you a sence of hope…..every day is a smile waiting to happen!

So I started on this site on December 19th, its February 1st and I have lost 24 pounds since I joined here, how awesome is that! Tomorrow is February 2nd, and its my Birthday I will be 27 years old, I am looking to having a great time with my friends and family, my brother is coming to spend the night and my friends are coming over for the evening, yes there is going to be drinking and food, I say you know what, I have worked my ass off, literally!, and I deserve to enjoy my B-day, I know for one thing that my tummy cant even hold nearly as much food as it used too, I will still be conscious of my journey and I wont go out of my way to mess things up for myself. This is the first B-day since I was 19, being this weight! I am happy

On another note, I have kicked up my stationary bike routine up to a whole hour, 45 minutes of vigorous, hot and sweaty biking and 15 of moderate biking with 2 pound hand weights. Oh it is awesome, I get 20 miles done in that hour. My friend gave me an MP3 player, I put a whole bunch of my music on it to sweat too, see I am not your normal pop girl, I LOVE Metal, so when I have been riding, I have been trying to keep the pace with my metal, which has a lot of double base, its like a hard core work out hehe….for example, I will give you the link to my hardest work out song, and what makes it hard is when your on the bike and keeping your petaling up with the music, so here is the link of my most sweaty work out song~

Think of keeping up your petaling to the fastest rythm of the song, any one with a stationary bike wanna give it a try? I know I get so sweaty, I am loving listening to my music while exercising! Oh and I am keeping up in the Crunch-a-thon, which is cool!

Anyway guys, I wanna say sorry for not being as good of a buddy as I really love being, but hopefully things will be slowing down soon and I can get back in the pace of things here on my favorite place to be!

We can so do this guys, keep up the good work, take each day, each pound at a time, the future is nothing but possibilities, reach out and grab yours!
Peace Always,
