Diez del Domingo

1) Weigh in time again. I thought I would be quoting - "if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all" because I didn't exercise much this week nor did I eat very well (we had pizza a couple of nights) But this is my progress.
My weight today: 147.6 lbs
My weight loss this week: 0.6 lbs!
Pounds to go: 22.6
My goal weight: 125 lbs
So I lost more than I did last week. And because I didn't exercise much I'm not going to accomplish the 30 day Challenge on Wii Active. Whoops! Oh well, I will try again. I'm going to complete it nonetheless but I will have done it in 34 days.

2) Ms. Bela is laughing!!!!! Full out HAHAHAs! Or JAJAJAs in Spanish ;) We have a few videos and I will post them soon. The first laughs occurred while we were tickling and laughing with her, the second laughs happened on Wednesday night as I was explaining that we were going over to a friend, Sal's house for pizza and she laughed over the word pizza. And the third time happened this morning as I was signing "Sugar, sugar, honey, honey"
- Juan just reminding me of another episode. Last night she was having a wonderful laugh session and Juan and I planted kisses on her cheeks! We think that was the best one so far.

3) Further growing up news for our little Ms. She is holding objects now to inspect them and quickly stick them in her mouth. She also succeeding in unplugging her soother and then plugging it back in again. She hasn't done this in her sleep yet. But its awesome for us to see how much she is changing.

4) And even more growth moments! She is pulling herself up into a sitting position (not from flat on her back, but reclined) and staying there, just sitting. She still needs to find her balance and only needs help staying up with the nursing pillow, but she's getting stronger. Sometimes she does sit too far forward and then cries because she doesn't quite have the back strength to pull herself back up.

5) The house hasn't been cleaned in a looooooong time! I did clean the bathrooms earlier this week, but the vacuuming and dusting were completed today. Thanks honey! You are a great cleaner, which is something I cannot call myself! HeHe.

6) Juan and I watched the Blind Side last night. Great movie. You should check it out. A fell good movie.

7) I've been doing some Spanish this week. Juan talked to his parents a couple of times, but I didn't understand too much this time. Not sure why, I just couldn't concentrate. I will be doing some more studying after this.

8) I've been watching The Masters. I know, its strange for me to watch golf, but I was sucked in by the Tiger Woods drama. Now, I have a hard time figuring out why this guy owes the fans an apology. Personally, his wife and his family are the only people that deserve one. Did he really hurt you? Did you cry over his indiscretions? I don't think so. I'm sure his wife and family have gone through a tonne more heart-ache than any of the fans. Get over it. I also read an article from The Daily Beast on one of the lawyers, Gloria Allred, of one of his mistresses whom he paid millions for her silence in not selling her story. Ms. Allred held a news conference the day of Tiger's first conference. Her plea was to condemn Tiger for not apologizing to the women he slept with. WHAT!?!?! Are you kidding me!! Why should he apologize to them. I'm sure they are really angry at him for sleeping with them and getting millions of dollars from him. Ms. Allred also called Tiger sexist because he's called these women transgressions - umm, hello, apparently they are human beings. To make a long story short, Ms. Allred is arguing that Tiger should be championing for women's rights and use his super stardom to fight for them. Then after the news conference Ms. Allred announces that her client will be posing nude in some show this weekend in Atlanta. WHAT!??!! Ahh, we've come so far ...

9) But speaking of The Masters - the actual play - holy eagles Batman. And for my mom - Go Freddy! And for my dad - Go Phil!

10) Onto more important things. Right now I have this total obsession over Marble Slab ice cream. I am craving some rum ice cream with raspberries mashed up in it ... ahh, so tasty. I think I will finally give into my craving tonight. HeHe.

P.S. I will post some pics tomorrow ... I haven't downloaded any from this week
