Heavenly weekend =D

Hey gals!!! My pants this morning feel looser...why don't they make profesionnal black pants belt ready?!! I never understood that. So I guess I'm shrinking!! YAY!! Last Saturday was amazing. My guy picked me up at 1:30 and surprised me with flowers We then rode to the Park and we walked hand in hand on lil trails in the woods....it was beautiful!!! I'll post some pics tonight =D We talked, we laughed, we were silent. It was all good He even brought 2 water bottles..what a sweety!! I payed the Quiznos for him since we drove kinda far and with the price of gas nowadays, I found it fair....but asked him first if he was confortable with it. lol We watched a bit of tv and also watched the national Lampoon's xmas movie...freakin hilarious. lol It can never get old. Buuuuuut...we mostly cuddled and kissed and talked about everything -------I've never met a guy like him. We have similar values and goals and dreams and we understand eachother already. We have this beautiful complicity ...we read eachother so well...we're compatible in every way possible..and oops...I've fallen in love with him. Just like that. After 3 weeks of taking my time and being careful. Of course I can see some of his flaws but they're really all not that bad ..although I'll see more of them with time =D Girls.....you would NOT believe all the sweet things he's told me with such sincerity. It makes me want to pinch myself...just to make sure I'm not dreaming all of this. It's exactly the kind of love I've always wanted and ...wow..I just *know* we'll last

Now for weight related stuff!!!!!!
I've joined 97gstchick's crunch challenge =D I need to be crunching more and it's a great opportunity for me to do this. Sooooo..Thx girl!!!! I've noticed that my weight has been quite stable and for a reason......I actually no longer obsess with the number and I'm quite comfortable being the size that I am =D I haven't stopped eating healthy or exercising...I'm just not as strict as before.

To end my post........

Why can't we adjust the size of the pics we add anymore?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!
and oh..have a great week girls

Youtube

ok the YOUTUBE application kept deleting my post for some reason so here it is

2 posts in a row!!

Tonight I'm gonna take it easy or I may go out..I'm still undecided. Tomorrow I'm planning an afternoon/evening with my guy...I'm thinking of a nice stroll in the park near his place with our cameras to take pics of ourselves and the pretty colours =D Hopefully we wont get TOO distracted and only take pics of one another *giggles* Then some coffee or tea somewhere cozy...after we could go out for dinner somewhere..then makeout for the rest of the night. lol...what do you gals think? Is it too simple? I feel comfortable enough with him for all of the above...although it took me 4 dates before being comfortable enough to eat in front of him?! I'm so weird! LoL

Ok ok, enough about men ;P You gals have been laughing at me in your blogs haven't you!!! hehe =D YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. LOL

I'm actually eating reasonably these days but I should be more serious about exercise. Walking and playing badminton just doesn't cut it for me anymore. My body wants more of a challenge =( Darn...it's a shame really..I'd love for it to react to walking everyday and playing badminton a few times a week. lol God I'm lazy But I do love going to the gym..don't get me wrong..I just need a lil more motivation to go.

Soooooo...I hope you girls have a good weekend !! Did I mention that my man is taking me to the Cirque du Soleil?? (cool artsy circus) Although that's not for another 2 weeks =(((((((((((

Update

Hey girls =)

I'll be reading up on you all and commenting tonight so I hope you've been good!

I'm busy with badminton, work, laziness and mr lover boy.....but i know, excuses excuses!!! hehe

I seriously need to meet up with my guy for some Zzzzs or something because we're kinda beat lately. lol Met up with him again last night He DOES sound like a keeper Chargail hehe hence why it's making me a lil nervous...I had started to believe that I was never going to find one! lol We're so open and honest with eachother...it's an amazing feeling. =) I even dreamed of him last night...geeze This is beyond a crush..it's a much more meaningful bond that's taking place and I'm ready to hold on tight and enjoy the ride!!!

My friend cancelled for badminton tonight so this is basically the first time I'm gonna go play without my girl!!! But, I feel ready and I'll even take advantage of  the freedom to play from 7 till 8:30 instead of 9:30 since I still go to the gym during lunch hour and need my beauty sleep. lol

Hope you gals are moving this week!! You're all in my thoughts =D

Stretch mark cream???

Ok..so we may not talk about this often but it's a reality. We probably all have stretch marks..be it before or after childbirth. It's when your skin reaches its breaking point, like when you pull on a rubber band until it SNAPS.

So..yeah..I have old marks from when I was younger so they don't show as much but man are they ever there!!! I've been doing some research on this and found a cream that *could* minimize the look and feel of them, even if they're old : Trilastin. www.trilastin.com . Ok, it's not cheap nor a miracle cure. BUT, it apparently has great results in under 4 weeks and has even greater results after a 6 month treatment. So what do you guys think? Should I go for it? =P

--------------------

As for weightloss, i'm not budging : still 169. I've had a great anorexic (Erg!) week last week due to the flu....had to force feed my poor self dry toast and soup so I wouldnt wither away. I had it real bad =( Now I think my beau has it....great..lol.. I'm still going to badminton and running, though. I even ran 5KM in 36 minutes last week. Is that good? lol All I know is I had a steady pace for 30 minutes and ran for my life the other 6 mins. hehe

I had a movie date at JF's condo last Saturday and it was wonderful =) Cozy and sweet. He's definetely different from all the men I've dated before....he's a sweetheart and respects me and wants me to know that he's interested by not moving things too fast.  It's actually nice for a change. I'm really starting to like this guy....and omg, you should see his condo!! My apartment looks like dirt compared to this. lol And *gulp* it was so clean. I'm starting to feel a tiiiiiiiiiiny bit intimated here. lol I'm gonna try to see him sometime this week..because..lets face it..seeing him once a week is DEF not enough ;)

*floats away* Hope you gals are having a wonderful day!!

Slack-no-more!!

Ok, this time I mean buisness =P I'm gonna start going to the gym again...badminton has encouraged me to stop running..does that even make sense?! lol Badminton is not too challenging for me since i'm so use to more exercise so I'm incorporating running back into my routine as well as ab work. Strenght training? Not this week but I'll start again next week every tuesday and thursday.

As for food, NO MORE JUNK. I've been living THE life but man do i feel fat and bloated. I feel much better without diet pepsi, pizza and ice cream. Without a second's hesitation. Sooooooo new action plan, I'm back to no dessert (except for fruit and yogurt) and will focus on fish, chicken and especially veggies!! Last night I had fish with fresh zuchinni and carrots zapped in the microwave *drool* It's easy to do so I might even have that again tonight =) I've also bought some almonds as a snack in the afternoon I think i'm on the right track!!!

As for my shy guy, things are going good so far.  I *could* see him tonight but maybe I should just rest and relax and take some much needed alone time =D And clean my apartment......only for an hour, though.  We're still on for Sat. night so i'm kinda excited about that ;P He was suppose to work Sat. night but since he's the boss he asked another boss to let him go on Sun. instead. Yay!! He's such a sweety. I know it's a dumb thing to notice but when i got in his car the inside light went off so i couldnt buckle my seatbelt and without even having to ask him, he opened the light for me ;) I'm not use to men noticing things like that. It's a great feeling. hehe

I hope you gals have a good one!! I started my day off with positive thoughts, oatmeal for breakfast and the intention of working out this lunch hour and maybe even going for a walk after dinner! =)

How did you start your day off??

A dating story

Last Friday I decided to ask Travel Guy if he wanted to do something (it was 11ish). After an hour of trying to convince him, he drove to my place and we met up for a midnight stroll and a good talk =) He surprisingly talked more than I had expected and I was pretty  happy about that..we had a good time sharing thoughts and laughing. It was a good first meeting and loved that it was spontaneous like that, it's always better on the nerves. lol I hugged him goodbye and slept at about 1:15am. The next morning i had my hair cut and layered and it looked hideous. You girls would of laughed so hard. LOL My hair was all puffy and i looked like a rich bitch..so when I came back home i jumped in the shower to make it right again. lol

I had a fever all day Saturday and I started to feel nauseous after 6pm...and since I had a date at 8:30, I didnt want to cancel on him so I still went. lol Despite my fever and trying real hard not to throw up, it went really well...we whispered comments and laughed during the movie..but...he's so shy! He didnt even make a move on me. lol Better, he didnt even buy my movie ticket!! Which really made me think "oook...mr cheapskates" lol but I think he's just really really shy and nervous....because he obviously has an interest in me. Long story short, I only survived the movie and asked him to give me a ride back home. lol....So there I was, a few minutes after my date.. in my apartment building's elevator and thinking out loud: What the heck...he didnt even pay for my ticket?! lol

I find this funny because I always tell my girlfriends that if a guy is interested in you, he'll pay for you. But this guy is totally different so it really throws my theory out of the window. lol *sigh* Why can't I get simpler men =P But I'm drawn by the fact that he's taking things sooo slow and wonder if this man is really worth it because..I seriously think he is. We have so much stuff in common and have fun talking and being around eachother that I don't see how I can't wait a week or two more for him to get out of his shell. Anyhoo, going back to the story, I received an email from him on Sunday morning telling me that he had a great time in my company and then he asks me if i'd want to do something with him sometime this week or this weekend. lol THEN he suggests I come over to HIS place for a scary movie and some red wine (knowing very well that I cant handle a lot of wine). haha..so while I'm reading this I'm thinking "Finally......" lol....I'll sit close to him and take hold of his arm at the first sign of scariness. How about that. lol Gosh...as long as he loosens up a little being in his own condo and having a lil wine. lol We havent had a decent head-to-head so this will be interesting.....and who knows, he might even kiss me. (I'm so devilish..I know he's shy and I seem to like seeing him get nervous about all of these dating things and I want him to make the moves himself so he can have a lil more confidance in himself in the long run ;P   )

But, he's the DIRT you want to hear.

• He's 27, going on 28 this December
• He's 6'0", normal built, manly looking. lol..
• He's got a nice voice that makes me feel at ease with him
• He might need help in the clothing department  LOL
• He smells darn good
• He makes me laugh and laughs at what I say
• He's a gadget loving guy..he even has that robot floor cleaner like Shelley  lol..
• He seems like a really decent and caring guy
• I find him hot (bwahaha)
• He's got sexy hands (don't ask..i'm weird)
• I still have no idea how he kisses yet or really gazed into his eyes soo...to be continued ladies!!

I'll keep you girls posted on the developments. I'm just happy that i'm not as nervous as I was last week. lol...I'm pretty calm around him and the butterflies have ceased to annoy me.

The pics of my professional wardrobe will be coming soon....be patient! ;)

Have a great week gals!!!

Confidence leads to success ;)

Sooooo...I have trouble sleeping these days, AGAIN. But, for happier reasons ;) I've got a date with an amazing man on Saturday night (if he isnt still sick) and everyone is respecting me much more at work because of my change in clothing =P I'll have to post a pic for you all....

Think of me this weekend!! I'll be back to normal soon i swear ;P After all these darn butterflies go away......he's too good to be true!! lol

I can't keep up!

I Know! I'm such a bad EP friend lately. My mind is so busy thinking about this guy..lol..I definetely need to meet him soon so things can go back to normal....although..they may never. lol For the better I'm hoping.

I wish I could talk about weightloss stuff but..all I have my head is : JF JF JF JF JF JF JF JF JF JF JF

He was feverish last night and he looks sick =( I'm hoping he's feeling better by Saturday!!! I have this sneaky plan of asking him out soon.

Take care gals and plsssssss dont be mad!!! I still love you guys xoxoxox

OMG!

I LOVE this new EP Layout!!! We have private messaging now!! Woohoo =D And I now have another goal in mind...be one of those success stories! hihi You girls look awesome, by the way!

The BBQs went strangely well. I opted for veggy burgers the entire time and had diet cola...with a few sweets for dessert on Friday. I basically switched my supper and my lunch for three days....=) It didnt make me feel all big and bloated so I think it worked wonderfully!!! I went to play badminton on Thursday night and did nothing Friday because my brother ditched me again and didnt come visit me. Saturday I went shopping for a new professional wardrobe and spent a fortune =P For the good of humanity, of course. lol The people at work are already starting to treat me differently ;)

Saturday night I stayed home because my friend cancelled on me at the last minute to go dancing..and i was all pretty and had bought a new bottle of Captain Morgan spiced rum and diet caffeine free coke. Sooo..obviously I was bummed about all of this so I went online to find facebook guy online on facebook chat. So I waited. Nothing.  I gathered up my courage and started a tiny convo in the chat window with him =D Then I asked for his msn address...and we talked for 6 hours. lol It was so exciting..getting to know a new person, joking around and flirting like there's no tomorrow. Found out he's 27..going on 28 in December and quite shy and hardly has any relationship experience. This man is HOT girls. lol. Square manly jaw..nice arms..*fans herself* Well, I find him hot. lol I'm not too sure how I could of had found a shy-ish hot guy that hasnt been womanizing for all those years but I'm in luck. I just hope I don't scare him off. I'll be good I swear =P I'm secretely hoping to meet him in at least 2 weeks. *crosses her fingers* He already talks as if it's in his plans...so we'll have to wait and see!!

Went shopping Sunday again and spent another small fortune...and i dont think ill be setting foot in a mall for another month!! God im sick of shopping (for now..lol) but i got these killer outfits and mix and match stuff and its all sexy and professional. I'm actually trying this out to test people at work..since i want more respect and obviously people react to some artificial stuff in order to judge me so lets see how this week goes!!  So far so good..a man already waited until i got up in the elevator to hold the door for me on the 2nd floor (i was soo not taking the stairs with these heels..). haha...damn i feel hot. LOL

Hope you gals have a great week!! Take care
