Día 24 / Day 24 30 Day Shred

Parece que la noche anterior dormí mal y me levanté con un horrible dolor de espalda pero, aún así fuí a hacer mis ejercicios. Que horrible es hacer abdominales cuando se tiene dolor de espalda.


Annie

It seems that the previous night I slept badly and I woke up with a horrible back pain but, even so I did my exercises. It is horrible to do sit-ups with a back pain.

Día 23 / Day 23 30 Day Shred

Hoy tuve un poco más de ánimo realizando el nivel 3 pero, la mejor noticia es que pude ponerme un mahón que no me servía y que la última vez que lo usé fue en el cumpleaños de las nenas el año pasado o sea, que hace casi un año que no lo había podido volver a usar. Eso sí que me hizo bien feliz.

Annie

Today I had a little more spirit doing level 3 but, the best news is that I was able to wear a pair of jeans that I haven't use since my girls' birthday last year I mean, for almost a year I have not been able to use them. That indeed made me very happy.

Still frustrated but I cannot give up.

Fin de Semana / Weekend

El fin de semana fue bastante tranquilo. Veamos que hicimos:

Viernes: Fue otro día extremadamente lluvioso (al igual que el jueves) y ajetreado (así es en la semana).

Sábado: Lavar y realizar algunas compras, especialmente las meriendas de las niñas para la escuela. Almorzamos en Pizza Hut, rico!!!!

Domingo: Fuimos esclavos de la casa (limpieza, lavar, planchar, cocinar, fregar, organizar). Mientras a Pablo le tocó la limpieza del patio. No olvidemos las asignaciones de la escuela.

A excepción del domingo todo fue muy tranquilo. Veámos que tal va la semana ya que mencionaron que se estaban formando tres ondas tropicales para esta semana (pero, aquí no se puede creer en los meteorólogos por que cuando te dicen que llueve el sol no puede estar más caliente y cuando dicen que habrá sol terminamos con inundaciones,jaja).

Que tengan una linda semana.

Annie

The weekend was quite tranquil. Let's see what we did:


Friday: Was another extremely rainy day (just like Thursday) and hectic (is like this the whole week).

Saturday: Laundry and some grocery shopping, especially the afternoon snacks fotthe girls at school. We had lunch at Pizza Hut, yum! !!!

Sunday: We were slaves of the house (cleaning, laundry, ironing, cooking, washing dishes, organizing stuff). While Pablo had to clean the patio. Let's not forget school homework.

With the exception of Sunday all was very tranquil. We'll see how the week goes since the weather people mentioned that three tropical storms will be formed on this week (but, here we cannot believe completly in the meteorologists because when they tell you that it will rain, the sun cannot be hotter and when they say that there will be sun we finish with floods, jaja).

Have a great week.

Día 20 / Day 20 30 Day Shred

Hoy decidí realizar el nivel 3 y por un momento pensé que me terminaría en el hospital,jaja. Es una recopilación de los ejercicios realizados en los niveles anteriores pero con la idea de querer matar a uno. Insisto Jillian, no eres mi persona favorita en estos momentos.

Annie

Today I decided to start on level 3 and for a moment I thought that I would finish in the hospital, ha ha. It is a collection of the exercises made on the previous levels but with the idea to kill you. I insist Jillian, you are not my favorite person in these moments.

Me siento frustrada con los ejercicios. Ayer me pesé y aparentemente aumenté otra libra, verdaderamente no se que ocurre, estoy siendo bastante moderada con la comida y hago ejercicios por lo menos 5 veces a la semana o tendré que cambiar la balanza.

Annie

I feel frustrated with the exercises. Yesterday I weighed myself and apparently I gained another pound, I truly do not know what is happening, I am being very moderate with the food and I do exercises at least 5 times each week or I will have to change the scale.

Día 18 / Day 18 30 Day Shred

Hoy fue muy gracioso hacer los ejercicios por que cada vez que hacia un movimiento terminaba abostezando, ja al parecer todavía tenía bastante sueño.

Annie

Today it was very funny to do the exercises because each time I make a movement ,I finished yawning, ha, apparently I still was a bit sleepy.

Ayuda con el Almuerzo, Por Favor / Help with Lunch, Please!!!!!!!

Nuestra rutina diaria a cambiado bastante con las niñas en la escuela. Por ejemplo, yo me levanto a las 6:00 a.m. (cosa que no sucedía antes a menos que yo tuviese que ir a alguna cita médica). La mañana para mí es muy corta y ya a las 11:30 a.m. tengo que tener a las niñas listas para salir a buscar a Pablo y llegar a tiempo a la escuela. Lo que me hace estar un poco estresada con el almuerzo de las niñas (el cual tengo que dárselo entre las 10:45 a.m. a 11:00 a.m.) y necesito con urgencia alternativas para el almuerzo que sean rápidas de preparar pero, con valor nutritivo. Ojalá que me puedan diversas sugerencias para no tener tanta tensión con el almuerzo.

Espero sus sugerencias.

Annie

Our daily routine has changed enough with the girls in school. For example, I get up at 6:00 a.m. (Thing that did not happen before unless I had that to go to some doctor's appointment). The morning runs very quick and at 11:30 a.m. we need to be ready to get Pablo at his workplace and to arrive on time to school. What makes me a little stressed with the girls lunch (which I have to give them between 10:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.) and I need urgently alternatives for the lunch that must be fast to prepare but, with nutritious value. I hope to receive diverse suggestions so I will not be having this much tension with the lunch.

I expect your suggestions.

Día 17 / Day 17 30 Day Shred

Hoy intenté buscar una excusa para no hacer ejercicios ya que Pablo no tenía trabajo (por su cumpleaños) así que yo dije hoy es un día feriado pero, el remordimiento no pudo más conmigo y a las 5:00 p.m. me fuí a hacer mis ejercicios. Tan sólo espero que todo sea un buen indicio de los cambios que espero ver en mí.

Hablando de cambios al parecer el más notable es en mi trasero, pueden creerlo,jajaja.

Annie

Today I tried to look for an excuse for not doing exercises since Pablo did not have work (it's his birthday) so I said today is a holiday but, the remorse of not doing it was to big and by 5:00 p.m. I decided to do my exercises. I only expect that this is a good indication of the changes that I expect to see in me.

Speaking of changes apparently the most notable is my rear,can you believe it, hahaha!!!.

Annie

Happy Birthday Pablo

You are an amazing husband and excellent Dad. We love you so much!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Día 16 / Day 16 30 Day Shred

Jillian, aún no he hecho las pases contigo y sigo detestando tus ejercicios pero, sé que son buenos para bajar de peso o sea, tengo que seguir rendida aquí hasta lograr mi objetivo.

Annie

Jillian, I have not yet done pass with you and I continue detesting your exercises but, I know that they are good to loose weight that is to say, I have to continue yielded here until I achieve my objective.

Organización es la Clave / Organization is the KEY

Tener hijos en la escuela es como tener que asistir al trabajo. Mis niñas apenas llevan cuatro días en la escuela y yo me siento como si llevarán tres meses,jaja. Ahora mis días comienzan a las 6 de la mañana de manera que haga mis ejercicios temprano y me olvide de eso el resto de día. Todos los días hago una lista de las tareas que debo hacer y así no se me olvida nada y siempre me da resultado.

En el área de la comida he optado por cocinar bastante y luego congelar comida de manera que aquellos días en que el tiempo sea limitado solo tengo que descongelar la comida y listo.

En mi tiempo "libre" pienso pasar tiempo con mi mamá, ir de tiendas (algunas veces compraré algo pero, otras ir de "window shopping"), realizar los preparativos del cumpleaños de las niñas, manualidades, hacer algunas tareas en el hogar o simplemente no hacer nada, en fin, creo que ya encontre en que invertir ese tiempo. Pero, lo más importante es mantenerme organizada y enfocada de manera que no añada demasiadas tensiones a mi vida,jaja.

Que tengan una feliz semana.

Annie

Having children in school is like having job routine. My girls have barely been four days in school and I feel as if they have been going for three months, jaja. Now my days begin at 6 in the morning, this way I do my exercises early and forget about that the remainder of the day. Every day I do a list of the tasks that I should do and this way I'll make sure that I will not forgot anything and it always works for me.

In the food area I have opted for cooking enough and then freeze food so that on those days in which the time might be limited I only have to defrost the food and ready.

On my freetime I think to spend more time with my mom, to go shopping (some times I will buy something and others I'll just go for some window shopping), complete preparations for the girls' birthday, handicrafts, house shores or I'll simply won't do a thing, in short, I believe that I have already find ways to spend that time. But, the most important is to maintain organized and focused so that this won't add not too many tensions to my life, jaja.

Have a happy week.

Annie


PS: Thanks for the best wishes for my mom. We had a wonderful day.
