Real Women Lift Weights!

Now that I surpassed my weight loss goal I am now making things interesting with adding more intense weight training. I am up to 3x a week for 15 min and my arms are pretty ripped. I am so looking forward to spring/summer to wear tank tops. I am also going to add in hitting the punching bag a few times a week with my cross training. I saw some really neat pink ones at sports authority. I don't want my body to get used to the same old routine that I have been doing for a while now.

Goes without saying February is the month of love, so I want to post a little something to acknowledge that special man in my life.

He has so much love to give and he gives it without limitations, he will never complain if he is tired or in pain, I truly love and respect this man with all my being. I am Proud to say he is all mine :) This if for you Andrew... I LOVE YOU!!! ;*

5 Months in the Making...

Ever since I completed the Disneyland Half marathon and came out with some injuries, I am happy to report I have signed up for my second Half. It will be the " A Run Through Redlands" the very first race I ran last year (the 5k). I have spent the last almost five months recuperating my knees with Physical Therapy, stretching, and slow and steady building up my mileage again. I did 10 miles today and I feel great! It has been a while since I have been able to log 20 plus mile in a week. My official training starts next week and I hope all goes well because come December I am going for 26.2 miles in Las Vegas!!

MMM...Menudo!

This morning I am attempting to make Menudo. I haven't had it in a while and I have been trying to venture out from my same old menu that I go by every week. The husband is very excited to try it. He wanted to know what was in it and I said "you might not want to know ":). The lady at the meat counter gave me a grossed out look when I told her I needed a pound of beef tripe. She asked "what are you cooking with that"! I told her Menudo! she looked horrified, what people don't eat menudo anymore with the meat!! It brings back good memories when I was a youngin when making Menudo was an all day event kinda like making tamales. Well its in the crock pot and hopefully it turns out yummy else the husband might not trust me to cook anymore...haha!

Xmas Party

Friday night was my company xmas party didnt win any prizes but here are a few pics.

Cake and Giving Thanks!

I remember years ago my mom had told me when she was a little girl she always wanted a Barbie Cake. So this year I made her a Barbie Mermaid cake. It was super easy to make and I think it came out pretty good. Here are a couple of pics from Thanksgiving. Didn't get there in time to see my older sis and my niece, but here is my mom and sister Adriana.
