SHOO!

i absolutely hate it when people tell me things that i shouldn't be doing because it can harm my baby. i do appreciate their concern, but i just don't like the negativity. it's extremely irritable to me. i especially hate it if the person giving me unsolicited advice is someone who has never even been pregnant!! i only like getting pregnancy advice from people i'm dearly close to (family and extremely good friends). if you don't fall into any of these categories, SHOO!!!

where did it go?

i can't believe the first month of the new year is about to end. say what??? where did the time go? i guess i can't call the year "new year" anymore. i try to look back and think, what did i do the first 29 days of the 2009. nothing really comes to mind. seems like every moment that passed seems so fleeting. what happened?

hit pause

lately, i'd catch myself juggling way too many things at once. i try to think why i end up being caught in such a predicament. just trying to type this post, i ended up doing the following:

- setup a series of meetings with a vendor
- answer an email
- google for good italian restaurants in orange county (i started thinking of dinner already)
- talk to co-workers about our weight issues
- reschedule the series of meetings i setup with a vendor
- check my email again
- complete a users request
- investigate an issue

that's just in a span of an hour. i was told to try to do things one at a time. in this day and age, i'm not too sure if that's possible. we're expected to do a gazillion things in a day. i just want to hit the pause button and take some time to breathe.

buzz

it's only 10:00am and i'm already on my second can of diet coke.

off to a rough start...

RUUUUUUUN!!

ok, so it's been a while since i posted anything on this blog. i have writer's block, seriously. i think i've been suffering from it since high school. i used to write a lot. i don't know what happened... i'll elaborate on this maybe on my next post (probably in a year or two). ha!

latey, i'm trying to be more active. i've been a couch potato my whole life. i was never into sports. i'd just stay at home, read a book or watch TV. weight has always been an issue for me. i tipped more than a 100 lbs when i was only 13. that's a lot, considering i was less than 5 feet tall at that time. i've tried numerous diets - 3 day diet, hollywood diet (aka suicide diet), herbalife, atkins, south beach, food combining (this one was actually not too bad). but nothing really stick. i'm pushing 30, and man, maintaining my weight is harder than ever!

i decided to RUUUUUUUN!! yes, i decided to run from my weight problem and just get liposuction. NOT!

i'm trying to get into running (as in the act of moving quickly on foot) . about 2 years ago, i got into this already. i signed up for several 5K runs. after 5 months, i was burned out. i enjoyed it for a while, but too many things happened in my life and i just stopped. i know that's not a good excuse, but that's really what happened. so now, i'm back! i just woke up one day and decided, i need to be more active again. with that, i think i'll make running as part of my lifestyle. i found a very apt article - The Couch-to-5K Running Plan. it seems doable. i guess the trick to running is not to overwhelm myself. when i tried running 2 years ago, i kept pushing myself until i just gave up. now, i'll try the snail's approach. we'll see how it goes.

uninspired

i feel so uninspired. i have nothing to write about. i'm fat and my life is uneventful.

we got a new toy. hope this inspires me to blog, somehow... i need to get a life outside work.

CHUNKY!!

i'm at my chunkiest. i need to do something about this.
