Happy Holidays

Totally Random: OMG it has been a long time since I’ve been on here. I just wanted to pop in to say hi, Happy Holidays and to let everyone know what’s been up in my krazy life.  My Thanksgiving was awesome we had a blast. There was lots of fun and drinking and family and fun and did I say fun? Yea we had a blast! I did not cook all the men cooked (I know right) so I got to sit on my ass and do absolutely nothing and it felt great.  Since being a stay at home mom for the past two months, I have been couponing hard core. I did it a two years ago when I first learned but cut back because my hubby said I was becoming obsessed…maybe, but we have not bought any paper towel, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, bath soap, razors, shaving cream, toothbrushes and toothpaste, lotion, or laundry detergent for the past two years. So I will happily take obsessed.  Now my stockpile is…well was pretty much nonexistent so I’m building it back up.  So far I have 32 boxes of cereal that I paid 34.17 for, 12 All brand laundry detergent that I paid $4 for ( dang I wished I had more coupons for that sale) Albertson was closing and everything was 75% off.  I have 10 ragu pasta sauce, and 16 progression meal starters. And that’s pretty much the bulk of my stockpile everything is like in 4’s so… but I am excited that my coupons come tomorrow and I’m going to get (40) 4 packs of Angel soft toilet tissue (I prefer Charmin but hey) oh and here’s a tip : if you want extra coupons try eBay that’s where I get all my extra coupons from. And now time for my big news…well not really big but I’m excited about it. I have a crush on Dave Ramsey! No really he totally rocks my socks! I discovered him last Friday and it was love at first sight. I read his totally money makeover book and decided to try the (7) baby steps.  I sat down with the hubby told him I was now taking over the money and told him my plan (based off the book).  After some number crunching I realized that if we stick to it, which  we will, then in 14 months we will be COMPLETELY debt free!!!!! And I am excited about that possibly becoming our reality. I’m still in awe like no freaking way because it’s kinda a large number. Without giving you the exact number its between $30-50k (student loans are the devil) they take up most of our debt.  My quote for the month is “Live like no other, so later you can live like no other” -Dave Ramsey. Im also signing up for www.emeals.com have any of you used that site? It seems pretty cool and is supposed to help save money on the grocery bill so I’m all for it. Well that’s my update in a nutshell hope you all are having an awesome holiday season, ttyl!

Healthy Me: So I’m back on the wagon ladies. I have been doing awesome in my workouts and three days last week I even did an extra workout  yaaay me J  Okay so I haven’t lost any weight and  Im not sure about inches because I didn’t take them. I’ve been eating well and I feel great.  This week I’m on week 2 of Ripped in 30 (I hate it by the way) and I’m gonna do Leslie Sansone walk at home and maybe a zumba class. I did RI30 today along with Blogilates (YouTube it) melt away your muffin top workout. There are several workouts to choose from, I choose this one because my stomach is a hater and refuses to get flat and sexy for me.  The time has finally come for me to go shopping. I have put it off long enough and I don’t have any clothes to wear except for pair of jeans from 8yrs ago (oh don’t try to act like I’m the only one that has clothes that old.) So I’m going to H&M, Forever 21, Express, and Kholes . I’m not buying too much because I have 10lbs to lose but just enough to get me through winter. I’m gonna achieve this by buying 5 great pair of jeans in different styles and lots of cute tops and accessories to switch up my look. Have a great week Divas.

Quick Update

Totally Random:  Hello Hookstars! Yes it’s Friday and I’m in a totally awesome mood today. So here is a quick update. I have decided to start once a month cooking (I know right?!) Well I have been thinking about freezing meals off and on for the past year and have decided that starting November that I would just dive right in. I have been on Pintrest and Once a Month Mom and I have a few recipes to try out. Starting out I’m only going to cook enough meals to freeze for two weeks (baby steps) and if I totally love it I will cook a whole month of meals the next time.  Is it bad that even though I’m home all day I hate cooking… for some weird reason I feel like it’s such an inconvenience for me. Oh and a friend invited me to go thrift shopping with her. Umm I’m not sure if I will like it but she finds awesome stuff all the time so…we shall see how it goes.

Healthy Me:  So as you already know I’m now a stay at home mom, with that being said I have lost my motivation to workout. I am kid free from 8:20-3:00 and I just can seem to find the motivation to workout. I know I have no excuse. So far I worked out twice last week and once this week.  That’s right ladies I feel off the wagon, but starting next week it’s on. I printed and filled in my workout calendar and bought stickers. I’m going to do Ripped in 30 as my morning workout and walk or run for my afternoon workout. I have been able to maintain my weight which is currently 142.2  my goal is to be 130 by Christmas. I just have to get off my lazy ass and move. Have a great weekend!

My Week

Totally Random:  Well it’s been a busy week for me. I’m now a stay at home mom and my coworkers gave me a going away dinner. I got lots of flowers, a cake, a $100 gift card to the spa, $50 gift card to Target, $50 gift card for Applebee’s, and a  $100 mall gift card. I wasn’t expecting anything but the dinner so I was shocked that I got such awesome gifts. I feel like even though I’m at home, I’m very busy with “mommy duties” that I don’t have the time to do all the projects that I pinned on Pintress. I’m going to make a calendar and come up with a routine that way I can actually get a little down time before the kiddies come home from school. Over the weekend I pinned a lot of Halloween games and decorations on Pintress for the kid’s party. I’m so excited it’s going to be awesome! I hired a balloon guy that also does a magic show. My hubby fixed his sons car so he is doing 1 1/2hrs for free Heck Yea!!!! 

Healthy Me: Okay so as you know I tried out pole aerobics this week. I took three classes and let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it looks. Pole dancing takes a lot of upper body strength and I was so sore afterwards.  Maybe I’m not coordinated enough but I had trouble keeping up and felt so outta place.  Those bitches were working that pole like they were getting paid for it, they made it look so easy and there I was looking like the biggest dork ever. I could not catch on for nothing. I’m not sure if I’m gonna giving it another try or just find something new to try. Have a great week Hookstars!

Im Bringing Sexy Back!

Totally Random: Good Morning Hookstars! Guess what? Ya girl broke out that bag of toys last night! What the fuck was I thinking?!  Those nipple clamps hurt like hell and my hubby didn’t like the cock rings the said it felt weird in a bad way. I did like the pleasure beads that’s a keeper (insert smiley face). We didn’t know what to do with the feather… it was totally useless, the paddle was okay nothing special, and the best was the wedge pillow!!!! Ladies you can do lots of positions with that thing, it’s totally amaze balls we love it! I think I found the dirty whore within me and we had all types of kinky fun. So what’s next for this slut bag….I’m thinking stripper pole!

Even More Random Shit: So I’m having a bit of trouble with my 5yr old daughter Jaya she has become quite sneaky and I really don’t know if I should discipline her. Example: I told the kids to clean their rooms, the boys clean and she didn’t. She told the boys and I quote “Let’s pretend I’m a boss and this is my office and you boys work for me. But it’s my birthday and you are gonna have a surprise cleaning party for me while I go out of town to a meeting.”  She then came into my room to watch Good Luck Charlie and when the boys were finished cleaning her room they called her name and yelled “Surprise Happy Birthday” as she walked into her room. Now I didn’t know if she should have lost a sticker on her chore chart since she didn’t clean her room or give it to her anyway because she tricked the boys into doing it for her. She is always tricking them into doing something and they fall for it every time. Thursday I was looking for my purse for two hours and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I offered the kids two dollars for whoever found it and still no luck.  I decided to take a break to regroup and think about where it could be, after an hour my oldest son Jayson yells “Mommy I found your purse.” I asked where it was and he said Jayden (3yrs) had it. I asked why he didn’t give it to me when I was looking for it. His reply was “ No that’s not your purse, it’s my magic camping bag. I going to the jungle and catch dinosaur monsters. And I gonna chop them up like this (insert karate kick)” Oh I totally could have choked that kid but he looked so cute doing his karate kick that I decided to give him a free pass this time…smh…the joys of motherhood

Healthy Me: Well nothing special to report here. Last week I weighed 141 and this week I weigh 142.2 Next week I going to try pole aerobics to switch things up and learn a few things for the hubby. “Welcome to the stage….Cinnamon.” Well I need to work on the stripper name but you get the picture.  Oh and I have been thinking about becoming a Zumba instructor. I love Zumba so I think it will be fun. I also joined the 30 day Jillian Michaels challenge for Oct. 1^st I’m doing Ripped in 30 and 6 week Abs. My 31^st birthday is on the 24^th and I’m hoping to drop a pant size by then. OMG I can’t believe I almost forgot to tell you Hookstars my best news of the week! Okay I was meeting the Hubby for a lunch date and even though it was his lunch break I decided to get a little dressed up make up and all. Well long story short after lunch I stopped for gas and was approached at the pump by this guy he was kinda cute. But anyway he asked if he could talk to me for a second, I was like no then he said if I fill your tank can you give me a few minutes of your time ( well considering I drive a expedition and gas cost $100 heck yes) So he filled up my tank complemented me on being pretty and sexy blah blah blah. So I asked how old he was and he said 23. I was like a giddy little school girl at that point. I told him I was 30 and happily married and sent him along his way but holy shit 23! Wow I’m defiantly improving my MILF Status!!! Look out Bitches I’m Bringing Sexy Back! Lol.

Happy Dance

Totally Random: I’m on this mission to have a totally amazing sex life and the only way I feel that my hubby and I can achieve that is by trying new things and finding the dirty whore within me. So far the few that we have tried have been a total fail but I have something new up my sleeve I’m talking 50 Shades of Grey type shit. Last Wednesday I took a trip to the adult toy store and picked up a few items: penis rings, bull nose nipple clamps, pleasure beads, vibrator, wedge pillow, feather, and a paddle. I’ve had these items since Wednesday and have been to chicken shit to try them out. My hubby has no idea as to what I’m doing because I want it to be a surprise. Ugh I don’t know what the problem is with me I have a bag full of toys already to explore with my hubby and what do I do…..have a friend take sexy pictures of me posing in different outfits. I took eight pictures and each hour while he was at work I sent him one with a. dirty caption of something I was going to do to him later. He totally LOVED it!!! So my new mission is to break out that bag of toys sometime this week.

Healthy Me: So I mentioned in my last post about this strict meal plan that I was following this week. Well I am happy to report that I have lost a total of 3 pounds and now weigh 141 HOLLA!!!! (insert happy dance here) I only exercised three days this week and now I’m thinking of how much I would have lost if I exercised everyday but whatev.  I’m so happy that shits over with it, it was so damn hard to stay focused but I did and later today I’m gonna enjoy a nice bowl of skinny banana pudding.

Today I ran my first ever 5k. My time was 27:27 and I placed 4^th in my division!! My hubby and kids were there cheering me on but when I crossed the finish line they were nowhere to be found. I called his cell to ask where he was and why didn’t he get a picture of me crossing the finish line his reply was this:

Hubby: “well when you run on the treadmill it takes you 36-40 minutes to run a 5k. I figured that since you were running outside it would take you about an hour so I took the kids to the park across the street.” WTF really?! I was a little ticked but that went away once I found out I placed 4^th.FYI for those that want to know…I trained 4months with the c25k app. I ran outside as well as on the treadmill. A little tip I learned from watching Extreme Makeover Weight- loss Edition: when running on the treadmill run on an incline of 1.5 because it simulates outside running otherwise the treadmill will be doing most of the running for you. Have a Great Week Hookstars!!!!
