The last day of 2013!
Sometime, it amazes me how the space and time create the distance, yet the radio signal can bring everything close together. I am talking to my childhood friends from China in chat room, right now, at this moment, even though we just started the last day of the year, as we are talking, they are stepping into the New Year already! Its like that I am running through a time machine, am I a year older or not, right now, at this moment?!
We started our new exercise program - Focus T25 - 25 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Now we finished the day 1, it is going to be a beautiful day! The last day of the year and a great beginning of a new year. I kinda forgot how wonderful it felt to sweat this much. Since 8/2 David hurt his back, I have not done much of anything exercise wise other than jogging (I know, I am not sure why he hurt his back and I stopped working out, don't ask me). How time flies. We got to know ShawnT over two years ago from his Insanity and here we are, exercise with him again.
I think I have one more big meal to eat tonight. After that, I should be good all the way till May when Jamie's back from school again. Life is just wonderful. David always tells me that I need to count my blessings. I do. We are indeed blessed!
Well, Happy New Year, peeps :-) Where ever you are, whatever you are doing, Happy New Year!!!

Jamie's Birthday
Last time I cried was when she left. I said to all the friends and family who wanted to make me feel better after my baby left for college: I just want to sit here in her room, by myself for a little while, just me and my memories of her and I, from day one of her came into this world to the moment she turned her head back to me at the door way that morning, smiling so brightly, saying - bye mommy. I wanted to cried, to feel the ache of my heart, to miss her, to miss every day the past 18 years we spent together ...
I stopped crying only a day later. The world is so absolutely beautiful for her, I can't cry any longer, not that I have to force myself not too, I just was so full of joy, for her; my heart soar with her - if I could sing, I would; if I could dance, I would!
Today, September 5, 1994, 19995, 1996 ... 2010, 2011 ... 2013? 19 years!!!! I want to hold her in my arms, I want to kiss her, I want to see her smiling face, shining eyes. Instead, I sang the happy birthday song in my text, on her facebook timeline, she texted back to me: love you MOMMY.
So the first time in a month, my eyes filled with tears again. Oh, my baby! How I love you so dearly!!!
Happy Birthday!!!!

Nutration
I am not sure why, I felt weak often. Is it because I am not eating enough? I am getting old? Something is wrong with me?
I have reviewed the P90X nutrition plan again this morning and decide that I am going to follow that again for a while, see if I can improve how I feel. My memory about this plan while I was doing P90X is that I was always eating. Lots of food, lots of meat. Look back now, I did feel my best then, at least strenth-wise. (I'd rather don't think that I am feeling weak now is because I am getting old, or something is not right with me :-).
So here I am, going through my frig to see what I can eat every 2 - 3 hours: we have no protein bar what so ever in the house, no ready to eat white meat, no snacks, no nothing :-(
Weekend is coming, I have a honey do list ready for David. Ready, set, go!!

before and after picture - articles on AOL.com
go to http://junsp90xjourney.blogspot.com/ to read the post and leave comments!
It was late last night when my friend text me to read this article:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-dixon/weight-loss-secrets_b_3643898.html
while it shock me that you can actually do that, it makes me sad to think that people would lie about their progression, to prove what? For what? The article actually named the name, P90X and Insanity both are on the list (matter of fact, the only ones :-) Ha! Wonderful!
Its time to do P90X for the day, whatever you think, both David and I saw the result, and actually GOT the secrete of weight loss from Tony Horton P90X :-D and we enjoy it :-D :-D
So, I lost 3 out of my 5lbs goal (doing P90X and Insanity :-) before Hawaii. Didn't gain any while were there, and finished up after I got back. Now the one Haagen Dazs bar a night before bed needs to stop, really!!

6 days to Hawaii
Just spent 10 days in FL. The last AAU we attended, a little lost and depressed - we folded a life that we devoted our full attention to the past 8 years and the uncertainty of new life is making me feeling ... anticipating, a little scared, excited, lost, full of hope, worry ....
But next thing next, we are heading to Maui next Sunday, the first time Zhou Family Reunion ever. I have 5 pounds to loose before that, and today is the day one.
I went back to read my day 1 P90x post, 134 lb when I first started 2 years ago. Really??!! I can't imagine. I have finished the program since then, off and on doing it for the rest of the two years. I got involved with raw foodist movement, and find out that I love my rice too much to be a monkey. I did my one round of master cleanse, realized how much food are around everybody's life every moment. We ate more organic and non GMO now, fresh fruit and salads, I just can't give up the meat, but certainly ate a lot less (in who's standard?)
Oh well, I am going to do speed 8 today and play volleyball tonight. Here is what I plan to eat:
Breakfast: 1/2 cantaloup with 16 ounce water
snack: 4 oz greek yogurt with 5-6 raspberry
Lunch: chef salad
snack: cliff bar + almond
Dinner: steam fish + 1 cup brown rice + steam vegetable
So far, I did alright for the first two meals. After and night is always a challenge :-( .... and it is Monday-my traditional night out with my volleyball friends - no beer, Jun, no beer!!! You don't even like it, so NO BEER!!!!!!!
