P365-MMX:0419: Biking.

Stripe and I never thought we will have weight issues or would even consider taking phentermine. I am just simply happy that we are both supportive in terms of our fitness routines. For 2 months now, we have been biking and jogging in the nearby park. Boy, I have developed a love affair with biking and even considered on getting my own so we wouldn't share on 1 bike anymore.

I like it more when there are high terrains and those paths that have obstacles such as this which makes biking more challenging. I guess next time, we will try triathlon. Hee hee.

Have a Healthy Weekend everyone!

P365-MMX:0407: Banana Split.

Stripe has the craziest ideas.
One night, we were having a DVD marathon when suddenly he thought of preparing 4 bowls of his version of Banana Split! And told mini-Stripe that we were having an eating contest (me and him). Of course, I have no way to say NO especially after seeing the excited smiles of our little boy.

I lost!

Now blame the extra pounds of Stripe to his craziest idea. These best weight loss supplements would do him good hee hee.

P365-MMX:0320: Ideal.

Before I click here and check another site that would give me tips on losing weight, let me share with you this photo I took on another beach trip in March. This is one of the reasons why I love our city. We are 20-minute drive away from a beach, and then more... Although the water is a bit chilly to take a dip, mini-Stripe and his pals cannot resist not to take a plunge.

P365-MMX:0304: Pasaway!

I was seriously doing my lower ab workout when Stripe came home with this! It truly distracted me from my workout routine. The next thing I know, this was gone and I was munching on chips, yes, chips, chips, chips and plenty of chips! He can be such a tease sometimes yay! That or is it because I am already losing weight and he is gaining more hee hee.

P365-MMX:0225: Oysters.

Birthday seafood buffet lunch date with Stripe.
...and yes the birthday boy's seafood-allergic except for Oysters, that's all he ever had.

We were running late for our reservation on this Seafood resto. There had been another road accident on the way. Good thing that there was a 24 hour towing service centre who came to rescue the crashed cars.

Be careful drivers out there.

P365-MMX:0224: Chubby Cheeks.

This was supposed to be a surprise birthday drawing for his dad but mini-Stripe erased it and made a card instead.

Guess who was the biggest face in this drawing? ME! Yay!
I still look fat to my kiddo even if our weighing scales are telling me I lost 7 lbs. There must be something wrong with them, I better weigh myself in one of those weighing scales in the mall :P.

P365-MMX:0211: Biyernes.

Since we do not have anyone to leave mini-Stripe with, except for occasional Parents' night at MyGym, we make sure that Stripe and I allot one day a week for just the two of us. Yes, Fridays are meant for home-dates, beers, chips, movie marathon and catching up with the hectic week that was. Mini-Stripe has been consistently sleeping at 8ish or 9ish, and so we have at least 4-5 hours of weekly dates :P. Also, Fridays are meant for Stripe to enhance his toy and by that, I meant his car. This time he was very busy looking for wood dash kits at CARID.com. Yea, boys and they car :P.

P365-MMX:0209: The Plan.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
Todo na ito! Please give me back my pre-wedding weight!!!

Stripe is so patient at making this kind of meals for me. He makes the best salad, in my opinion. He has been also very supportive at my yoyo dieting, non-stop weight woes and what-not. But one thing's for sure, we have to seriously hit the treadmill everyday because there are 2 big reunions we are attending this year. Of course, we want to look our best :P.

P365-MMX:0126: Back to B.

It is not only me who is treading the path to healthier lifestyle in 2010, Stripe too! In fact, as soon as he saw this point of purchase displays ad about how much weight he can shed off from biking, he revisited his bike in the storage and start biking again. Oh how we wish, Spring would come sooner then we can all troop to the nearby park and go biking with mini-Stripe while I run, run and run :).

P365-MMX:0122: Chuck E. Cheese's Day with Dad.

At least once a week, Stripe makes sure to have one day wholly spent with mini-Stripe. So your guess is right that this photo was taken by Stripe and not me, hee hee.

For this particular boys' day out, Stripe took him to Chuck E. Cheese's after buying some office supplies.

Who plays like this? Only mini-Stripe, my ever mischievous son! hahah! Obviously, he was having a good time.

P365-MMX:0114: Life's a Beach

(Yes, this is a back-entry for those who are readers of my feeds :P, I just had to share this photo before I check proactiv reviews.)

This photo was taken the day we arrived home, it was also our first day in 2010 at home without my folks. Stripe brought us to this beach we frequent whenever we want to unwind. For this specific visit, he brought us here to get off our minds from homesickness bouts. True enough, when we got home, we felt better :).

We are lucky to be surrounded by beaches, our home away from home.

to you and yours

How is everybody's thanksgiving weekend going along?

We had a wonderful time and my first time to camp out at BestBuy. It was truly an experience of a lifetime hee hee. I'm still crunch with time at the moment because of a Sunday Thanksgiving get-together but I realized I haven't dropped you all a Thanksgiving greeting so here's wishing you all the Blessings you want and dream to come this Thanksgiving 09. We hope to spend next year's Thanksgiving out of town, orlando vacations perhaps?!

Have a good week ahead y'all!

he loves picking up flowers for mama

Stripe is no doubt a very romantic husband, sometimes mushy I may say hee hee. He's the kind of husband who never gets tired giving me flowers or sometimes plant hahah! (like what he did last Valentines.) So I never wonder where mini-Stripe got his training, he just loves picking flowers for me :).

What's nice about having my folks around is the fact that Stripe and I can go out on errands while leaving mini-S at home. One time, we went out to check some truck accessories and this is what I saw in the passenger's seat. The little boy's surprise, definitely, he loves picking flowers for mama.
