Testing testing

Is this thing still on? 

I know there’s been a little lull in the conversation, and I really don’t have much of an excuse. 

Rebeca and I were going through a wee bit of shit, but all is well now.    

The holidays were busy as usual.  It was nice having 2 weeks off all together.  We did some beach time and some just lazing around the house time.  The girls were pleased with their Santa presents, although he did have to make a phone call to them a couple weeks prior to tell them to get their shit together! 

Rebeca and I went back and forth until we finally decided to relent and get Isa a K.ind.le.  We’re so opposed to “devices” but decided that at least she can read books on it and do her online homework.  We put all sorts of parental controls on it so really, she’s still quite deprived and oppressed.  Just how we like her.  MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! 

Maya is so difficult to shop for!  She doesn’t ever really feel strongly about wanting anything.  We got her a bike since she’s never had a new one.  She’s the hand me down queen, poor baby.  She was happy and Isa was jealous.  All par for the course. 

What else? 

The girls started judo in late October.  We initially wanted to put Maya in as a “positive outlet for her physical and emotional aggression”.  But, surprisingly, Isa wanted in as well. 

A few weeks ago we threw them into their first tournament.  Isa was totally freaking out and said that she was going to puke etc etc.  Maya was out after her first 2 matches, having a ball the entire time.  She gives no shit. 

Check out the sad sad face.  lol  

Ready to tear some shit up!  Next time.  

Isa lost her first match and I think it surprised her that the other girl was definitely NOT playing around.  I was nervous when she went into her next match but she ended up winning!!  She won 3 matches that day and came in 2^nd in her group!  She was over the moon!  Suddenly she WAS judo.  She was cheering for her teammates and strutting around like she was Da.niel LaRus.so.

Hilarious.

   

During December Rebeca made me start this 30 day workout from hell challenge.  It sucked ass majorly!  But I finished and was quite pleased with myself. 

I knew that I needed something else to keep me going.  So I started a group on FB.  A 100 Day Get Your Ass Moving Challenge.  It’s 30 minutes of any kind of working out every day for 100 days.  So far, so good.  J 

My sugars are down and my boobs are smaller (hallelujah), but the weight is still there.  Bastard fat. 

One day.  One day I will be less fat and more tall.
