Sick DH + Hyper Toddler + Warm Weather + Dead Line on a project = One Tired Woman

Hmm may be I am not such a good blogger after all!! Life as I know it has been so crazy and on a roller coaster ride the past few weeks. Work's gotten hectic and DS was down with another bout of lung/ear infection - my poor baby is not catching a break this season and then DH came down with a nasty nasty viral fever. It literally ate him up so much so that he is down 10 pounds in one week. He is a 6.2ft man and well built too but he just couldn't stand on his two feet for more than a few seconds...So between taking care of him and helping DS burn energy thanks to the beautiful Bay Area weather this past weekend and cooking for the week and delivering my projects on time at work I am exhausted. I am sooo looking fwd to the weekend now so I can relax and may be even get some retail therapy.

On the weight loss, like I said DH lost 10 pounds to a total of 20 pounds so far (8.6% of this body weight) and I shed another 2 pounds - not bad considering I barely got time to do my intense workouts. If DH can maintain his weight loss then he might win it all and we might get the weekend getaway afterall and also the team prize - A FREE MASSAGE!!! 4 more weeks to go and I have decided to rev up my workouts and also watch everything that's going into my mouth.

Rainbows

This past week it has been raining a lot in the Bay Area - much needed rain so we don't have to kill our lawns in summer - and the rain brought along so many rainbows. There were days when we spotted even two rainbows at once. I love these little enhanting arcs from mother nature a lot. Growing up in India it was a very rare sight to spot a rainbow and on the very rare occassion that we did it was the topic of conversation the next day in school. But this week DH and I spotted one every single day on our way to work and it kinda brightens my day. I tried helping DS spot it too but for him he expects a rainbow in the perfect shape like in his books and so he could not spot them at all. However, he would spot something else that looks like an arc and would scream "Vainbow mommy" and I know it's not the real one because he would be looking in the opposite direction. Hey, whatever makes him happy right!! Now if only I can find that leprachaun and the pot of gold that's at the end of the rainbow my day(s) would be even more brighter.

Onto the weight loss journey - DH has been getting a lot compliments of late from co-workers on how good he looks and I have to admit it he is looking hotter by the day! Watch out ladies - I might have the best looking man with the best heart ever! As for me, I am down one dress size and would love to go down one more. 10 more pounds and I will be where I was 10 years ago when I graduated from college..

Random Musings

Work today has been pretty annoying..had to install then uninstall and then reinstall etc for umpteen times and I took a break to read the blogs of my friends and thought to myself "why can't I blog as well" and so here I am. I used to write a journal when I was young and always started it with "Dear diary..." so may be I will start my blogs with "Dear blog.." from the next one onwards..this is going to be pretty much what comes to my brain...

So today I was at the gym as usual at my lunch hour and I was checked in by a new girl...BUT from the corner of my eye I could see this guy - let's call him Z - walking quickly to the check in desk and I decided to ignore him(some background - this guy has been flirting with me for a while now) and see how he reacts and guess what he said "Hey how ya doin?" so I smiled and said "good" and walked away..but later I just couldn't stop laughing about it.....I think he has a thing for fat 30 yr old Indian women..I am gonna ask DH to come to the gym with me and flash my ring and may be even go for a light PDA to give the guy a hint...

And oh yah I am also going to talk about my weight loss journey just because I think that if I can do it anyone can...So today was our second weigh in for the Biggest Loser competition and I lost 2 pounds..and DH lost 4. Not bad at all eh?
