★Shit I Hate Sunday★

I'm in one of those moods today, so I'm linking up over at Rockin Mama's for 

Yupp.  Shit I Hate Sunday.

Shit I Hate... People trying to tell you how to raise your kids when they have zero experience or when their kids are complete screw ups.

Shit I Hate... Seeing people in public that I used to party with.  Embarrassing.

Shit I Hate... Eating a delicious taco and having it ruined by biting into a piece of fat.

Shit I Hate... Some of the people that work at carnivals.  Some stupid Carni was telling Cangrejo to come play a game and when Cangrejo was like "We're out of money" the guy said "You have to be rich, you're married to a white girl."  Um.....wrong.  I'm pretty sure carnival worker earn more than we do.

Shit I Hate... How hot my head gets in the summer cause of all my freakin hair.

Shit I Hate... 30something year-old women that are more dramatic and more immature than high school girls. You have 5 kids, bitch.  Act like it.

Shit I Hate... People that put Facebook statuses up about how shitty their life is and then when someone asks what's wrong they say "I don't wanna talk about it."  Then don't put it on Facebook, dip shit.

Shit I Hate... Knowing that I could go on all day about shit that I hate, but I don't have that much time or energy.

The time I was attacked by a vicious sea creature

Ladies and gentlemen, it's freaking hot in Texas.  SO we went to the lake.  There weren't that many people there because IT'S SO FREAKING HOT and there's a little bit of a warning out to stay inside.....cause it's freaking hot.

I'm kind of a wimp, people.  I LOVE the water, but I have serious issues with fish, plants, and really any kind of underwater life.  I can go to Bear Lake because the water is semi-clear, and I can see what's going on and stuff like that.  The water in Cooper Lake, is not so clear.  Like, if you're standing in the water up to your thighs, you can't see your knees.  They finally convinced me to wade in a little and I was standing there and something brushed against my leg...........let me make sure you understand.........I was standing in murky, gross water and SOMETHING TOUCHED MY LEG!!!  You better believe I was out of that water in about 0.3 seconds (which was hard because I was wearing flip flops and it's hard to run in deep water with flip flops.  Duh.)  For real, people, I almost shit myself.

Anyways, after Isabel had her fun in the water with Cangrejo I was holding her and it took her about 30 seconds to start snoring on my shoulder so we went to the picnic area.  I ate a butt load of Cheetos and I don't feel guilty at all.  Now we're back at the house.  Isabel and Cangrejo are sound asleep, so I think I'm going to start packing up our stuff so we can take off early tomorrow morning.  We want to leave here at about 6 AM at the latest.  The plan is to drive about half way home tomorrow (about 12 hours) and then find a hotel and drive the rest of the way on Tuesday.  I'd like to get 14 or 15 hours in tomorrow and get us that much closer but we'll have to see how Isabel is doing and how tired we are.

Haha, Cangrejo threatened me not to put this on Facebook.  So I'm blogging it, instead.

He's so cool.

She was exhausted.

I wore sunscreen, people.

Adventures in a Far Away Land. . . . .or Texas

I thought I would give everyone a heads up.  I'M NOT DEAD.  We made it to Colorado.....and then we left.  We went to Houston, Texas.....we left there too.  Now we're in Dallas, and I've having a great time.  In a couple days, we're headed home to Utah.  Why?  Because people that were supposed to take care of stuff didn't hold up their end of the deal, in Colorado AND Houston.  Also because I almost killed my cuñado and his girlfriend because they have officially moved to the top of my shit list.

So now we're in Dallas.  Cangrejo has a friend from El Salvador that lives here with her husband and his parents and they have a son that's 2 weeks older than Isabel.  We've been here for almost 2 days, and they keep convincing us to stay longer.  I think we'll be headed for home Monday morning.  They're pretty much some of THE NICEST people I've ever met, and what started as a really crappy ordeal will end up being probably my favorite vacation so far.  Saturday we're going to the lake and I'm SO looking forward to that.

More to come, sometime.  A lot has happened in the last week.  So peace out, for now.

Ch-ch-changes!

So those BIG changes that I mentioned in my last post came a little sooner than I was hoping.  Actually A LOT sooner than I was expecting.  And the 'plans' we had made, have changed.

We WERE planning on moving to California.  We were going to stay here to save up money and go in October-ish.  Cangrejo has a SHIT TON of family that lives in San Jose and we were going to stay with one of his cousins until we found an apartment.  I was pretty excited, honestly.  I've never met his family that lives there with the exception of one of his cousins, and I was looking forward to meeting them.  I've never even been to California and the prospect of LIVING somewhere that doesn't have below freezing temperatures for 8 months out of the year was VERY appealing to me.

Now we're not going to California anymore.

We're going somewhere else.


Somewhere where the weather is very similar to Utah weather (maybe colder).


Somewhere where neither of us have ever been.


Somewhere where we know absolutely NO ONE.


My cuñado and his prego girlfriend are moving there to (so I guess we will know SOMEONE).


Ladies and gentlemen, we're moving to Pueblo, Colorado.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go cry some more.

Weight loss Monday from my bedroom

I've been hit with this insomnia crap ever since I really started dieting and exercising my ass off and it's annoying. I think it actually bugs Cangrejo more than it bugs me, because I stay up and do stuff in bed...........stuff like.......well blogging.  I made you this short little video.  I'm sure tomorrow morning he won't remember any of it.  Anyways I hope not.

Is it inappropriate that I make vlogs in my bed???

Maybe.

Do I care???

Ehh not really.

I would laugh my ass off if someone else did it.

Let's just hope my husband's sense of humor is as good as mine.

Stay tuned for the next week or so.  There could be some big, exciting changes coming my way, and I'm sure you all find me VERY interesting and you want to know everything that's going on in my life.

For real, though, people.  BIG CHANGES.

(NO I'm not pregnant.)

Exhausted

I have so much to tell you but absolutely no energy to think that hard.....plus I can't put picture up because my phone is disconnected and I can't send them to my e-mail.  Just know that I had an amazing weekend.  I danced for almost 4 hours straight Saturday night IN HEELS and then somehow managed to have a major water fight today.  More to come.....I don't really know when.  Maybe I'll try to do weight loss Monday tomorrow (if I'm alive.)  For now rock out to my playlist cause I just added it and it's awesome.

For Real This Time!

So, after several months of zero progress in my whole weight loss crap, I'm finally bucking down and forcing myself to do it.  It's hard, and I'm hungry.  It's not like I'm starving myself either.  I've made a profile on MyFitnessPal and it's GREAT.  It helps me keep track of not just my calorie intake, but also carbs, fat, and protein, and my daily exercise with the approximate amount of calories burned.  I can also keep track of how much water I drink daily and chat with other people that are using the site.  I think I finally found something that can work for me!!!

The only problem I'm facing. . . . .is my husband.  I don't really understand why, and I probably never will, but Hispanic men (most of them anyways) DO NOT CARE if their wife is a Fatty McFatterson, and he thinks that I'm starving myself.  I was getting a little hungry about an hour ago and said I would just sip on some water, because I hadn't had enough today anyways.  He insisted I eat something.  I still had some calories/carbs/protein/fat left for today, so I decided I would have a slice of bread with some jam.

He didn't see me eat it.

5 minutes later he came to see if I ate it, and then continued to check underneath the couch cushions and under the chair to see if I had hidden it instead of eating it.  I finally convinced him that I DID eat it and he left me alone, muttering to himself that I should have at least had a bowl of cereal or something.  OH WELL.  I'll work around him somehow. . . . .


Another feature on the website is a Body Mass Index calculator.  I know that that isn't 100% accurate, but I think it can give you a pretty good general idea of where you stand.

I think the formula is like, height times weight divided by 2 or something like that, but anyway, this is the key:

Underweight-18.5 or less
Healthy-18.5-25.0
Over-25.0-30.0
Obese-30.0 or more

I score a 30.3, and I was generous with my height.  Yeah.  Call me Mrs. McFatterson.  My target weight range is 104.4-141.1.  While I think 104 lbs is REALLY low for my body shape, somewhere in between those 2 weights would be AMAZING.  My goal is 125, which will be 31 lbs lost, and if I make it, Mama is treating herself to a nice big shopping spree, because my fat pants are gonna be a little baggy.

Here's my ticker :)  I'm only going to update my weight every 1 or 2 weeks, so I'll have that stuff coming on Weight Loss Mondays.

P.S.  I learned how to do a Fishtail braid today, and I'm really excited.  I just had to tell you.
