Awesome weekend Alta!! Congrats on not drinking! I need to start trying for a baby so I quit the booze too - it always leads to a nasty downward spiral for me.
I'm not sure if I told you this but hubby and I were talking about options if we find out we can't have a baby and moving to California was one of them - we'd have to find work there for a reason to move but it's a dream of ours to live there and then you could be my beachbody coach!!!
That's so awesome that you went for it and now it's a reality! Thanks for motivating me today! I really needed it!

It's my boyfriend's birthday TODAY! I'm so happy!! I love celebrating people on their day! Especially those that are close to me. :beating: Growing up, my mom always celebrated us for the slightest things that we did and holidays. Even for Easter, even if she had no money, she would get a brown lunch paper bag, put some type of goodie in it, leave it next to the bed so when we woke up, there it was. A present. She always knew how to make a girl smile. Make a girl cry with gratitude. And make a girl appreciate. Growing up, my boyfriend never had that. His family doesn't ever reach out to him. They only call him for money, even though he tries to build relationships with them. They have very loose family ties. My mom hasn't changed. She will randomly show up on my doorstep, with a bag of groceries or something to give me. It's her way of filling the need to be needed. I love her! I'm crying as I write this :beating: :cry: because I LOVE LIFE so much and am so grateful. Everyone deserves to feel special. His mom would never even celebrate his birthdays. How sad is that. :( It breaks my heart, because even if we had no money, my mom taught us how to have FUN without it. Taught us how to feel fulfilled without it. Taught us how to stretch a dollar SO FAR. I've been playing and joking lately a lot about his birthday, actually the WHOLE month! haha. I'm like that! I see now, he LIKES it. I could see it in his eyes. He likes to be celebrated. I see the child in him. And it makes me sad, because I know that his mom, was only reciprocating what wasn't shown to her. A long chain handed down. It's interesting. I see this a lot with my clients too. The chains passed down, and the blessings passed down.

I bought him a really NICE Diesel watch $95, that looks TIGHT! Two shirts (they were on sale name brand! haha! $20), that he'll hopefully like, and going to take him out to dinner. :) I'm excited! I realize in this life, sometimes we want to get nice things for people and restrict ourselves because we think of the price. I realize now, that no matter what your situation, we always have enough. And we are always lacking. It's such a paradox. Humans, are insatiable by nature. So for that same very reason, and for the same very reason that in the past I have allowed myself to indulge, is for the pure memory of it. I want my memories to be based on GIVING the best. Not worrying about how, why, when, or where. That always figures itself out. Just GIVING, to ourselves and to others what we truly should have. We deserve it. In the end, it's only our memories that we are going to have. I always ask myself, do you want to remember yourself as "cheap?" Giving less because you questioned if more was coming? Or do you want to give knowing that more is coming?

The one thing my bf always mentioned was that when he was growing up, he didn't know how because of finances, but his mom ALWAYS got him the new cool pair of JORDANS that he wanted that cost a fortune! She couldn't afford them, but she DID afford them! ...Honestly, I tell myself, can you afford to NOT afford quality memories? You get what you give. It's your choice.

With that said. And with those tears dried up. I am happy. I am loving. I am here. I am present. I am grateful. I am aware. I am one. We are one. We are united. We are blessed. :beating: ~Peace & Joy~Alta

p.s. Is it any wonder, I LOVE brown paper lunch bags? LOL! I even love the crunch of it. Especially if they are really wrinkled and have been through a long day. Weird right?! ;) Or not? :D! Love the crunch.

I think you misunderstood me. We are only going to look into moving if we find out we can't have kids. Like if my insides are all messed up that I can't or hubby's sperm are inadequate or something like that. If we have kids we'll want to stay where our family is so we always have a babysitter!
 
Happy BD to BF! :biggrinjester:

Your workouts are making me think you are lying or something! LOL
With that much caloric expenditure, don't cut your food calories too much. Just try to avoid the junk foods. I know you have quite a sweet tooth. ;)

Keep up the awesome work, Alta!

DECISION = DESTINY! You have to decide to Raise the Standard. To GROW! Have you noticed sometimes people will say," it took me 10 years to get to this change...". No! No! It took you 10 years to get to that DECISION. It's often not a lack of resources to get to where we want that hold us back, but a lack of RESOURCEFULNESS. You have to do something that moves you! It's there. Inside of you! Let's SEARCH for it! ?
 
Fourtyfour: Thank you! That is so sweet! :beating: He is a lucky guy! I know, and he knows it! :) And, I am blessed that you are reading, let alone commenting! Means a ton.

Lisa: So sorry, hun! Completely messed up that post of yours in my mind. I know that your insides are going to be just fine! You look like a walking fertile ground to me! God told me so. LOL! ;) :grouphug: I'd love if you moved out here, but ONLY with a baby!

Sunflower: Thank you sunshine!! Love your little face and energy! :)

Derrick: WHAT!!!! :eek: You think, I'm LYING!? Oh hell no, Derrick! Am I going to have to make a video just to SHOW YOU!!? hahaha. :reddevil: PSH! I'm BRINGINT IT to my workouts!!! As far as the calories,..I'm also listening to the stomach here. I do feel satisfied. And try to stop there, instead of full. Mindfulness eating, as well. So we'll see how weigh in goes tomorrow. Lying, huh? I am APPALED! ..haha. I did learn that lesson at 5 yrs old, and try and keep to it!! I got an ass whupping for that!! IMPRINTED ON MY MIND. LYING=BEATDOWN! hahah! ;)

I can do PULLUPS!!!!!!

Also, today was a REVOLUTIONARY day in Bootcamp!! This little girl, did 8 sets of 10 pullups in crazy rounds with 25 pushups in between each other. Usually, they are assisted, but today, I felt like I could DO THEM!!! Guess what, I COULD!!! I did the first 3 of each set, where my CHIN would go up above the bar, and I could hold myself up for 5 seconds on the first, and then just go up and over and down on the others. The rest of the ones in the sets of the 10, I was only able to go up to nose level on the bar! I was DAMN proud of myself!!! :coolgleamA:
 
That is so awesome about the pull ups! I would love to try those but I'm afraid of the machine that assits at the gym - I think I need someone to help me the first time but I'm always afraid to ask someone. You are getting so strong girl!!!
Won't be around for your weigh-in today but I bet it's going to be great! How'd Wednesday go? Did your bf like the watch?
Check back MOnday - have a great weekend!
 
Hey girl!! Yes, he loved the watch!! He loved the shirts too. I actually bought one too LARGE! Which means, that he is shrinking!! :beating:!! Good for him!! He is gonna have it tailored a bit. He was grateful.

WEIGH IN TODAY 163.8!!! :cheers2:!! Hopefully, with hard work, next week will be 159!!! Can't wait!! Gonna go rollerblade for like 10 miles with my bf on the boardwalk of the beach once I finish making my clients Hypnosis mp3 downloads that they listen to at night before bed. Ahhh.. 2 more and I'm finished and ready to PLAY!!!!

I decided, that just like the Biggest Loser show, I want to SKYDIVE AT 135lbs GOAL MET! To leave behind my past. Rid of all fears. Break new barriers.
 
Funny thing, I was talking to the trainer this morning about, ...DERRICK, and telling him that I know this guy online for quite some time. And he knows that I don't lie. BUT he thinks I'm LYING! And I told him, it's funny that he said that because before he did, I already didn't tell people what I can do, because if I heard that this frumpy girl can do all of that, I'd say, "YEAH, Fuc^*n right!! LOL!"

He started laughing. He said, "We're gonna have to do a little video!" haha. I laughed. And thought about how the last thing I really want to see a video of is, me SWEATING LIKE I SHOWER AND HUFFING AND PUFFING on the internet!!!

...but mind you,...if it has to be done,..it will be!! ;) Also, I thought, not that I ever want to stop improving but the thought did run my mind, like..maybe I do want to have proof for myself as well? So that I can re look at them, and inspire myself more. hahaha! So I can tell myself, "DO IT, BITCH!!" :smilielol5:!
 
Gosh darn girl! All those pull-ups and push-ups make me feel like a wimp. That is incredibly strong for a male, much less a female.
