Juicing for the first time!

FINALLY, I have a juicer. Now what....... Haha those were my thoughts exactly, I have it now what the H do I do with it?? So, pinterest it was!!

I was at Kroger and I called my friend Kate. " KATE TELL ME WHAT TO BUY TO JUICE, GET ON THE COMPUTER NOW!". Not like I dont have a smartphone and cant look it up myself, but still.... I went to Kroger and bought different kinds of fruits. Mango, strawberries, kiwi, berries, celery, kale, pears, apples, and pineapple. Thats a good list huh? Well I thought, I will surely mix something I like with all these yummy fruits! So I headed home to try out the beast. Just kidding, its a small juicer, but still. Its better than the juicer I had..... which was NONE.

When I got home Mr. Million was like whaaa? You want to use the juicer, but we have no fruits? HAH. As I unload my 20$ worth of fruits, YES WE DOOOOOO!!!!!! He was more excited about actually using the machine. I washed it, put it together and BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZ started sticking fruit in there. Kiwi, pineapple, celery, berries,and apples!!! Mr. Million was looking at me like... hmm that one is yours, that has a veggy in it ( celery).... :O I know right? He ended up making another one with just fruit. I was like what ever all brave about to take a sip while thinking, if this taste bad, just pretend its good and show him its delishh!! GULP... YUMMMMMMMMM It actually was delicious!

Considering you are just shoving a bunch of stuff in there, it tasted like something you could pay 4$ for at Smoothie King. I cant wait to try more. Well I have to since I spent 20$ on produce. Juicing is something I can see myself keeping up with its easy and nutritional. For someone like me who really HATES veggies, its a great way to sneak them in there and get the benefits without the taste!! Even Jolene loved it

Lalala now if only it had a selfclean button, I would give it a A+!!!!

The biggest YARDSALE in the world..... Yeah right more like the biggest headache I've ever had!!!

Ever heard of the biggest YARDSALE in the world?! Yeah well my mother in law who like I've said before, gives things that didn't get much love, a lot of love and resells them. She sets up for this huge YARDSALE and sells her art. Because after today I consider it an art. Anywho I need a new camera, so I've embarked on a journey to do some crafts, sell them, and get me that new camera!!!! 

That is me, getting high on spray paint. I am not a very patient person, I am all stressed and will keep being stressed until all this "junk" turns into gold. Ahh!!! I have some DIY projects I am doing and I can't wait to share with you all and show you step by step how I did them. 

Today I turned 3 old windows into chalkboards and learned the following:

-I don't like spray paint

-I think chalkboard paint is over priced

-I admire my mother in law and her patience with projects

-I don't like help/opinions even though I need them 

-This is an expensive hobby

-I like to play with modpodge

-This isn't easy 

Lalala..... Hopefully I can sell all of this stuff and get that camera ;)

A walk to K-Roger

Today I woke up in a weird happy mood. Since my sister is still here I asked her if she wanted to walk to Kroger (1.2 miles away) and get stuff for dinner. She agreed! So we put on our walking shoes and off we went! 

First off there is a house on the way that I am in love with. Since I was on foot I got to creep in the windows and take pictures. The house is for sale by the way there was no one home! Hah! At least I hope! Anyways a few steps later... Wait for it.... There was a YARDSALE! So, I told my sister when we come back we are stopping there. Once we got to Kroger.... I decided I was hungry. So we walked a little further to subway and shared a yummy sandwich with my sister. Oh! I forgot to mention. I got chips and drinks at Kroger because subway is way too expensive. So I busted out my Kroger chips and Ale8! We got a few looks but OH WELL! 

After lunch and Kroger I walked twice as fast to get back to that YARDSALE! Hee hee! I bought 2 feather pillows. 5 little tea cans that I want for my kitchen to put stuff in. And two metal wall decorations. One says love the other laugh. All for 7$!!!!!!!! *pats herself on the back* 

Heat and MS is like tequila and burbon they do NOT go well together. So, by the time we got home all 3 of us girls crashed. Jolene was asleep by the time I opened the door. Then my sister and I crashed on my bed! 

Today was a great day with my girls. And there is nothing like a YARDSALE to lift your mood. 

ZUMBA!

So you probably already know I am full puertorican. If you didn't? Now you do. My sister and I thought lets do Zumba together! I must admit I was scared because I did it last week and I had ZERO rhythm. But off we went to shake our butts and have fun. 

For some reason I always thought my sister was a great dancer, since my mom and family are. Oh boy was I WRONG, she was worse than me! Poor thing has two left feet too :( it was a sad day when we both realized we missed a huge part of being Latina.... The dancing part. Hmmm we both had tons of fun though! First song Danza Kuduro. Definitely made us sweat. Which is why we are there.  I just look at the instructor.... Tall, long hair, fit, and just... Gorgeous! So it's my goal to get close to that! 

Mi hermana y yo, decided not to make it obvious that we couldn't shake it. We moved like our lives depended on it!!! The teacher said we could have burned up to 550 calories. That's pretty good for an hour of dancing and fun! I can't wait to do it again. Then we went for smoothies, healthy healthy healthy! 

" this doesn't look like a bike, Zoe"

GYM.TIME.

My sister as you can tell is a walking stick. So I couldn't wait to get her in a gym and wear her out.  So I decided what better than to take her spinning. Since my first time spinning, well lets just say I was walking like a cowgirl for a week after. I was so excited to watch her sweat!! We got to the gym and after she drooled at all the older men we walked into the spinning class.

My first spinning class was at another gym and well it was intense. This little blonde girl ( the instructor) hops on her bike and starts talking through a mike all soft and relaxing. I am like whaaaa? hold up. I wanted dark and loud and exhilarating!!! What the french toast is this???! NOT at all what I thought it was going to be. Did we sweat? Yes. Did we wanna give up? Yes. Did we have fun? NOOOO!!!!


Lesson learned. Every instructor and gym is different. I had fun with my sister though! She was like okay at 30 minutes I am DONE! haha the class only lasted 45 so we were good. I couldn't believe I made it through some of the hills. I need to bring my sister more so I can show off and sweat my butt off. OH well la la la I guess we will do Zumba tomorrow and take it slower. Dont want my little stick to break ;P

AHA Moment

I was standing in the line at Walmart-fallappart and the lady in front of me had a cart full of fruit and a crap ton of produce. So me, Mrs. Nosey, I asked her what could she possibly need all that for. And she said... juicing... so I was like O.o? WOAH I need to try this, she proceeded to tell me how healthy she was and how much weight she lost. So it got me thinking... and started to make me want to just go run 30 miles until I looked like this -------->>>>> again. But lesssbeeonest that cant just " happen". I looked through all my old pictures and I wanted to cry! I mean I thought I was fat back then. Given I have had to take alot of steroids and meds for my MS... not an excuse just facts!

I have gained a good 75 lbs in a year... and I lost a little when my baby was born. But now I am still over weight and still up in the 170s. And I want to get to back to this ------->>>> 145.
Well, I know better. there is no way I can juice and completely change my eating habits. I have to do it slowly. And with my MS, its best if I exercise. So I signed up at a gym! They have a pool, daycare, tons of fun classes, AND a smoothie bar! So, here begins my journey of getting back to a comfortable weight. I have never been uncomfortable with how I look. But I just want to feel better about myself. I am 20 for crying out loud! I want a hot body! I am done with the Kangaroo pouch.
I will be posting periodical before and after pictures, so stay tuned! 145 145 145! I can do this! right?.... Lalala yeah I can!

Family Pictures!!?

Ever since Jolene was in my belly I just couldn't wait to do family pictures! You know sit everyone looking glamorous and happy... Little did I know how unrealistic those expectations are! But my photographer/best friend was going to make it happen. We left the city ( she lives out in the boonies) and headed to go take our picture.

I picked white for us to wear, white T-shirts and blue jeans. I bought Mr. Millions shirt too big so he was going to rock grey. White, grey, and jeans. For pictures, with a 6 months old... OUTSIDE. It was brilliant. My friend and I always talk too much and then end up not doing the pictures. So since we were determined we just headed outside to do the pictures. We headed into the woods of her house... the woods, I hate the woods. But! Fabulous pictures are worth it, right?

Between the fact that I hate the woods and I cant be serious for a picture to save my life... The pictures were turning out to be more something you keep and laugh at and NOT show people. Because Mr. Million and I weren't in sync and Jolene..... she was not participating! I decided to put Jolene down for a few pictures.. well Kate has a creek, and a dog... Right in the middle of Jolenes'  pictures her dog( Griffon) jumps in the creek and then shakes it off next to his buddy Jolene... Poor Jolene her mother made her wear white.

Here is the picture that describes that day and us as a family. Me, Mrs. Bossy, who just has to be always talking and cant just smile for a damn picture. Mr. Million, always so relaxed and careless. And Little Miss Jolene.... Just wondering why she is outside in the woods and not inside playing with her new toys.

Lalalala I cant wait till fall so we can try this again!

Here is my best friend/ photographer. Kate and I after the hectic photo shoot!
