Toothache.... Ahhh!!

Last night I bite into my sandwich when a I felt a sharp pain on one of my back molars! After that I just couldn't handle the pain (I'm still in pain), I didn't slept at all so I call the dentist and I have an appointment to see him tomorrow so he can fix my molar and take away this awful pain!! Toothache is a pain that you don't even want your worst enemy to experience! You can see I can't handle pain! Hopefully your day was better than mine!!

Christmas is Here!!

Finally my favorite season is here!!! I love Christmas, it makes me feel so happy! I love the smells, and colors, can forget the decorations. Love the lights and how the Christmas tree makes the house looks so cozy! As a child I love to help my Mom to decorate the tree and  waking up Christmas morning to the sounds of "Jingle Bell" was amazing. Gathering all together in the kitchen to do breakfast it is one of my most dearest memories. Now that we are all adults it is more challenging to get together and continue the tradition! Since I am in Delaware and they are in Puerto Rico I can be physically with them but thanks to the wonders of technology I can join my family via Skype and have breakfast with them and open the presents all together!!

Let us enjoy this season and please remember that the true meaning of Christmas is not the presents or the value of it. The true meaning is be together as a family creating new memories. In the end that is what we would have with us for ever!

Today was an excellent day!!! Hubby and I finally finished painting our rocking chairs (they look beautiful!!). I did not exercise today but I spend quality time with my hubby, and that was priceless!! The weather was gorgeous so I do regret not getting out for a run but I was active painting my chairs. On another note, today Chris and I went on a date to Ruby Tursday and to the movies, we watched Maleficent!! It was awesome!! Love it, love it!! So if you haven't seen it go and watch it. This is all for today will see what I can get accomplish tomorrow!! Thanks for your support!!

Excuses, excuses and more excuses!!

It has been a couple day since I have gone out to run or walk, I have been meaning to do it I just don't have the energy o the desire to do it! I don't know what is really going on. I want to exercise, I know I have to do it but I still haven't done it! I have decided enough is enough! Enough of excuses and laziness! I have told myself I'm getting out today and there is nothing that will prevent me on getting on the road and get in some much needed run! If you are going through the same, just brush off the excuses and the laziness and get up and moving! Until the next one!!

Getting healthy is not easy so join me on my journey to a healthier me!

I would like to share with you my struggles and accomplishments and would like to know all of you! I have been overweight most of my life! I only remember been at 125lbs when I was a senior in high school! The beginning of 2014 was a defiant moment for my life, I stepped in the scale on January 1,2014 and weighted at 210.6 lbs!! I knew I was tipping more than 200lbs I just was in denial.

Although since 2007(year that I moved to Delaware from my beautiful island Puerto Rico I lost 13lbs! How I know it? Well when I went to get my license changed I weighted 223lbs and I was wearing pants that were size 18/20. I feel so a shame now when I see pictures from those years and I can not believed how I let myself get so heavy. In 2008 I went to see the Dr and I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes, I was devastated! I couldn't believed that been so young I gad developed diabetes and I was more devastated because both my grandfathers had type 2 Diabetes and one of them died with complications caused by diabetes! I cried so much and I was determined to beat this disease but it didn't last long and I entered into a denial stage that lasted for couple years. I ate anything without controlling myself and my disease! I was injecting myself with insulin 4 times a day plus had high cholesterol and triglycerides. Shortly after been diagnosed with diabetes I was diagnosed with polycystic  ovarian syndrome p and I was told I'd never be able to have children! That was the tip of the iceberg. I felt depressed and betrayed! I had no motivation in life, an even though my husband Chris was so supportive and I absolutely had no pressure from him to have babies I felt so alone and angry!

Today I have lost 26lbs so far and have been managing my diabetes to the point that I was put on a pill instead of the injectable insulin! My journey is just starting and I would like to joined me on this journey, let's motivate each other to do new things to improve our quality of life!
