Feeling Lazy Today

I told myself this morning that I’d only eat one breakfast taco, so I only used 3 eggs (instead of the usual 4–2 for Mario, 1 for me this time) and then added the diced tomatoes, onions and cheese. I stuffed the mixture in flour tortillas. Mario and I were watching something where they were talking about heart disease last night and I told him, “I really need to stop making you so much food that you ‘require’ flour tortillas with.”

He replied with, “No, you need to stop being stingy and put more in there.” “There” being his lunch bag.

I began my lecture about cholesterol and heart disease (which runs in both our families, aside from diabetes) and he, of course, tried blocking me out. He hates talking about his health. Just because he’s thin and fit doesn’t mean other things (bad things) are going on inside. He already smokes for Pete’s sake!

Anyway, Mario left one of his tacos and well, I ate it. With a glass of Coke . Then I told myself, “Okay, no coffee this morning. Try your hardest to stay awake.” Soon after Mario finished breakfast I laid next to him on the futon where he was watching TV. And I fell asleep …right after eating! I’m so disappointed in myself *hangs head*. At this rate, I’m going to end up a very short, round woman.

Yesterday was a really nice day and I almost wanted to pick Eenan up walking but since Noelia was here and so was the car, I took it. Noelia has meetings at UTPA today, so she won’t be home so I’ll pick Eenan up on foot. He wanted to go walking to school yesterday morning, but it was drizzling so we didn’t go. He’ll be happy to know we’re walking today. Lord knows I need the exercise, heh.

He’s probably back from practice at the high school right now. They were going to be there from 8:30 till 11:30. He must have been so excited since he got to ride the bus .

Gar…the darn internet keeps disconnecting. It’s been this way all week! It’s a miracle I got this much finished with the skins and all. I hope I can finish today and maybe resurect a few old layouts? I’m just glad I got GM to work. I was so afraid I’d screw something up. This time, I’m keeping one of my scripts off the site–the print screen disabler, buahahaha–since it even annoyed me and lots of visitors using I.E. probably didn’t even know I had it enabled. It sure did give me that extra peace of mind though–haven’t had my layouts jacked since I started using it a few months back. Since it doesn’t work in other browsers other than I.E., it’s safe to say most of the layout stealers use I.E. LOL.

Oooh, forgot to mention: Andy was visiting with Noelia last night and they came over to see the turtles. He couldn’t believe how big Daniel’s gotten . I don’t see a difference, probably because I see him all the time. I’m just glad they’re doing well. It scares me to think we’ll have to eventually put them in a kiddie pool when they become adults!

Mary was talking to Jorge (Mario’s Nino) last night. He’ll be coming down from California during the Mother’s Day weekend. She was bragging about my cooking (how sweet!) and he said he wants to see how good a cook I am so I was appointed to cook one of the nights he’s here. I’ll be making enchiladas…chicken enchiladas probably. I hope I do well LOL. I don’t wanna goof up, especially in the presence of Jorge…he’ll be making fun of me for years!

Okay, going to reset the modem and hopefully it starts working again. Damn Roadrunner .

Ugh, I have high cholesterol and I’ve been trying to cut out fat and some carbs as well. There was this study posted on Yahoo! news yesterday about how obese so many Mexicans are now because of processed foods being incorporated into their diets. They used to be so healthy (obviously not EVERYONE LOL) and now that they can buy corn tortillas instead of making them, buying flour tortillas instead of corn because they hold up better, and are trying “new” things they’re ditching the old healthy things they once used, a LOT of people are becoming ill and obese down there.

Well, you could always get the “low carb” or “low fat” flour tortillas for him. He’d probably never even know. They have no cholesterol most of the time. You could use eggwhites (or eggbeaters) instead of whole eggs, which means you can throw a WHOLE lot more in for him. The veggies you put in are great. Cheese, used in moderation, is good for you. We used to put cheese on EVERYTHING when I was little. It’s no wonder I’ve got such shitty eating habits now. Well, hope I helped a little. 😀

ohh.. the heart disease is a real killer. my friend’s dad died just recently. he was bearly 50! 🙁 sorry to scare you. anyway aside from that, was readin bout the breakfast made. hahaha. i’ll jus tell you what i noe now.

to prevent all these heart disease thing, the maximum eggs one can consume per week is 4eggs. it really works. my grandpa studies this sorta things and thats wad he told me. it can also prevent you from getting high blood pressure and all! and as for coffee.. its not really that healthy. once a day is okay. but not more than 3 cups per day.

don’t worry bout eating alot for breakfast and lunch, you need energy to do chores. u have gotta eat a filling brkfast & lunch, but as for dinner.. you take half of your usual serving. you’ll not only maintain your weight, might even lose some pounds! i did that.. haha. and when u feel like munching, make the habit to grab fruits! hahaha.. junk food is really evill~~

and, do your kids take vitamin C? haha. its good for growing kids! but not too much also. ^^^^!! health tips! haha.. sorry im so nosy. jus wanted to share. i’ve got more, so if you wanna ask me anything u can! haha. takkaires okay! <3<3 PS: brisk walking is good!!
