So much has happened....

During the last 7 months in my life. 

I was laid off from my awesome job back on March 8th. March was the hardest month so far this year. The day before I found out that I was laid off, I was told my Fertility Specialist that I was probably never going to have a child of my own. Why? Because at 26 years old, my reproductive system looks like a 40 year old. My uterus is tilted back, my hormone level is supposed to a 4.2 for my age and it's down to a 1.4. I don't ovulate every month so it's hard to even begin to see when we can try. I also had a polyp in my uterus that I had to get surgically removed because it was the cause of me not getting my menstrual cycle every month and getting it for 3-4 weeks at a time. 

I started working for my aunt at her restaurant and had a a horrible time, unfortunately they really didn't treat me like family and they couldn't wait until they got rid of me. I worked for them for 4 months, and decided I couldn't take it anymore and gave them 3 wks notice. During that whole time I was fighting with unemployment also. 

I was babysitting for 2 months and looking for work while going on interviews too. I finally decided that no one was going to pay me what I was asking for so I decided to take a major pay cut and call and friend of mine that owns a pharmacy. I am making half of what I was at my old job but something is better then nothing at the moment. Please I'm learning to be a Pharmacy Technician so that is a plus. 

Thank God for my husband he has been a God send during these horrible months. But now he hasn't been working and wasn't getting paid because of the stupid government shut down. Now he is just waiting to get pick up to go to work for the Iron Workers Local 11. 

On the plus side I have dropped 50lbs, in the last year and a half and feel great. I am so excited to see where I will be next summer. I leave you with a progress picture of my jeans.

Hello My Loves...!!!!

Hello everyone, how is every doing this New Year? I'm sorry that I haven't posted anything since Halloween.

I haven't forgotten about you all, I have been reading all your posts though.

As you all can see I continue to workout and lose weight. As of today I am down 35 lbs and 2 sizes down since July. I feel so much better and start TurboFire on Monday (Jan 26th) after completing Insanity, Brazilian Butt Lift and P90X Classic. I am doing P90X Lean along with TurboFire. I can't wait to see how I will look from now until June. I hope that I am able to wear a 2 piece bathing suit if not at least be closer to my goal by this summer.

I'll leave you all with a few pictures of my progress.

Bottom jeans are from July and the top ones are the ones I wear now.

Hurricane Sandy

So as most of you must know by now, the East Coast has been hit really hard by Hurricane Sandy. Thank God that all my family & friends from Maryland to NY are fine. My husband & I are fine, we lost power at our home & don't know when we will get it back. Word on the street is that it might be btwn Nov 5th - Nov 10th. Hopefully it comes on before that because we are staying at my mother house because luckily her power never went out & I don't know how long we will survive here with her.....lol 

Seaside Heights (Jersey Shore), NJ is gone. The boardwalk is completely gone. 

Hoboken Path Train flooded & still suspended

In NY the taxi's are immobile because of the flood. 

To however is without power & affected I pray for you & your family. 

25 lbs down....!!!

So from may to now I have lost a total of 25 lbs all together. I feel amazing carrying less weight around, I feel more healthy and confident. I'm into my 3rd week of P90X and after doing Insanity it really isn't that hard, but it's still challenging. I decided that I also wanted to start running so I made a running playlist on my iPhone and I can start on Saturday morning. So wish me luck everyone! I'm hoping that I can be at least another 15-20lbs lighter by the end of this year. Then rest for a week in the new year and start the Lean Program for P90X.

July to Oct.



This was on Tues 10/16/12



Back From Crap-Ghanistan

Hey everyone, sorry I havent blogged for a few days. But I was extrememly busy this weekend.  I had to leave for Maryland at 6AM on Saturday morning to go sign the house closing papers. I put my name down on the deed so the bank wouldn't take my aunts house away. So her boyfriend Vinnie & I have our names as the owners of the house.

Then I found out that my cousin Christian was coming home on Sunday from his deployment to Afghanistan (was there almost a yr). We did what we had to do to get ready for Sunday on Saturday. Then my cousin (hos sister Stephanie) and I got up and got ready to go get decorations at Party City. We came back home she went to the airport with her twin sister and my aunt, I stood at the house decorating and getting everything ready. Around 4:30 he came in through the door with a big smile on his face. Boy did we miss that face.

It's tradition to hang up your boots when your back from a deployment, so that's what he did.

More than a cousin, he is a brother.

All the cousins from the East Coast

All the aunts & uncles

I was so happy that me & my mother were able to see him because we headed back to Jersey around 9:30pm that same night. We enjoyed the day with him.

Now we have him home for awhile so I can't wait to go back & see my family for Thanksgiving.
