Taking a small hiatus

Hello guys.

Ummm I'm going through a lot emotionally and spiritually right now, and I have decided to take a hiatus from blogging for the moment.  I don't know how long this hiatus will last, but I know it will be a small one.  I just need to get a few things going on in my life in order before I can share anything with you guys.  Its nothing personal against you.  I just need some breathing room.

I will return soon enough with exciting stories to tell :]

In the meantime, peace&love.

Life is too short & God is too good.

It has definitely crept up on me...

Hi fervent followers!

Welp. Its about that time of the year again for birthdays...and mine is about 4 days away. wow. another year. another dolla.  I am officially almost at 25 and that means I'm really REALLY grown now.  No more family cell phone plan.  No more "lemme get $50, Daddy."  Its gonna be ALL me from now on, and I think I have officially come to terms with this.  Since being in Bangkok, I have learned how to make a dolla outta $0.15 - literally.  And I have also gained my own relationship with God - which is essential for forging ahead on this journey we live.  I have lived & learned many lessons in my relationship, friendships, family, and professional life.  Now its time to apply the concepts I have learned and LIVE.  easy enough right?  we shall see...

stay tuned for the next page of my life because it will be very interesting!

Cookies are my downfall smh

Hello fervent followers!

I did so well last week with my new diet & exercise plan.  I ate right. worked out. and I looked GOOD.

However, this week, my goals seemed to have fallen out the window.  And its all because of Dewberry cookies!  What are those? one might ask.  Well they are Thailand's own golden oreo's [well kinda] but infused with strawberry jelly-goodness on top!  I CANT STOP EATING THEMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Well..its back to the gym tonight. Gotta beast it out & work off these cookies.

Pics coming soooooonnnn....

Weightloss Updates!!!

Hi fervent followers!

If you didn't know, I joined a gym and have been working out religiously 4 days per week [that's the only plan I could afford haha].  I have been beasting the cardio & weights OUT & have already lost 4lbs!!!  Meanwhile, I have been trying to eat right..and that is the hard part.  My kids have snack, lunch, then another snack after nap - those snacks are usually sugary goodness that I JUST can't pass up - so I indulge; well, overindulge, to say the least.  My sweet tooth [inherited from mi madre] definitely takes over my brain.  So I am really trying to eat better this week so that my weight loss will continue to happen.

Soooo my goal is to be at 125 by Xmas.  And I am gonna let you in on a huge secret & you BETTER NOT TELL ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!  Ok here it goes:  current weight - 147lbs --------------goal weight - 125lbs

I got 22lbs to lose before Xmas.  I have already lost 4lbs and plan on trying to lose a pound per week, which will put me over my goal!  Pray for me & my eating habits...we need it :]

My Curly Crusade!

Hello fervent followers!

I had a good week and decided to share my hair with you there [the rhyme was TOTALLY needed ^.^]

So I've been keeping busy by experimenting with new styles on my newly released curlssssss! And I must say, that I LOVE MY HAIR! Seriously, I am asking my grandmother why she ever gave me a relaxer in the first place. I mean really!

So the people at my job are always like "omg. Cara, your hair is always so cute!" What they fail to realize is that my styles are probably mistakes. haha. I tried to do something else. my arm got tired. and it turned out to be this. I guess it works. Nonetheless, I am lovin my curls & lovin the fact that I can do so much with them! Why didnt anyone help me out before I chopped my length off?! I woulda transitioned for another year..ughhhhh. Its ok though. I have made my decision and must stick with this one. I cant glue my permed ends back on. Would be nice though haha.

Today I twisted my hair back in about 10 flat twists and plan on wearing it big and curly this weekend! Too excited! For pics..check my fb!

Until next time peoples....

peace

A sad moment...

Well I had a nice lengthy talk with my daddy and step-mom and they gave me some very healthy and Godly advice.

I am gonna try to see this thing through..even if it kills me. Please send some encouraging words my way. I really need it.

love you all!

PS a SPECIAL congrats to my big brudder Mayo & Latiria!

life is too short & GOD is too good.

Frustrations begin again...

Fervent followers,

The many frustrations of teaching Pre-Kindergarten are once again wearing down on me. Teaching them simples things takes soooooooooo much longer than any other grade level. I really need to work on my patience. I hope it gets better.

I am sooo frustrated, I don't even want to write about it. smh

peace&love
