Before and After

A few changes in the past weeks.

1) had a root canal on one of my teeth a long time ago. Ever since they put a crown on it, I always pocketed food there. My old Filipino dentists tried to fix it three times! So, my new dentist kept telling me to get it fixed...& once I finally decided to fork up the 1000+ to do it (dental insurance sucks ass here)...my tooth underneath was decayed!!! Omg so disgusting....i was so close to losing my tooth! Finally had an all porcelain crown placed on it today and had it all cleaned up...& I'm sooo super happy. No more food stuck, no more gray tooth, all SMILES!

2) Finally cut my long ass mop hair & had it lightened..subtle ombré. Hallelujah been wanting to cut it since I was in the PI. But as always, miss my long hair after its cut but its all good:)

3) Weight loss picture to be announced. Puahahah, I wish!!!!! No lies, I need to drop at least 10lbs..giving myself 3 months to do this. Since Ive gained a few lbs, my periods have been super irregular, get constipated easily, super hard to lose weight,and just feel just blah! Going to restart by doing the Ultimate Reset..have a lot of friends/acquaintances who have had good results (lose a few lbs, lower BP, improved energy) after doing it, so hopefully I can start from there! I've been wanting to do a good detox but honestly never wanted to pay for it, lol! Gotta start somewhere I guess...let u guys know how it goes!

Anyways, hope everyone is doing good! love you guys!

Easter weekend!

happy Saturday everyone!

Been up super early cuz I pretty much knocked out all day yesterday after work. I was asked to do OT on my last shift cuz it has been crazy busy...as usual! It was also Good Friday...feel a little bad because Lent started while I was in PI so I never got into it (if that's even the right way to put it!) but I always pray and feel thankful!

Anyways, I wanted to talk about how horribly hung over I was last week--a little traumatizing I would say! I went out with all of mikes best friends from HS..even his ex gf was there (haole chick pictured below) lol. But it's whatever, I don't even trip. I think we drank from like 8pm-5am....went to probably 6 bars, & they were all into Patron shots! Agh!! I hate patron nowadays because I get the worst hangovers. Anyways we got home and I wake up and FaceTime with Lynn and Tess all drunk. They had soup..so when I got off the phone I was craving and so I drove mike & I to Chinatown to get pho at like 730Am. Not a good idea, I was soo dizzy!! Afterwards, mike and I were literally bedridden for 24 hours..so horrible. Mike was throwing up til like 9pm that night, haha! & Every attempt to stand up was like, "okay, no I'm still dizzy." I blame it on the patron. I don't think I was even fully recovered til Sunday evening. We drove all the way to Kapolei for our first real meal at brick oven pizza on Sunday night. So that was my traumatic weekend! Lol. I am staying away from Patron for a verrry long time!!!!

So cheers to a new weekend!! I love the e-cards that I posted below..hahah! Reminds me of us, out here at least--regressing almost 30year olds. Me and mike wanted to plan camping this weekend cuz it's going to be my last free weekend for a looong time (damn scheduling!)...but the weather is shitty. Anyways, have a Happy Easter weekend everybody!!!

Puppy love.

Koko Isle Circle. Koko Drive. Koko meaning "blood" in Hawaiian. Sometimes she drives us Koko. How fitting that we named her Koko!!

It's been about 2 months since we've had her, although 1/2 of that time I was away. But, she has brought so much JOY to us! Nothing like waking up to a puppy whining to go shi-shi at 6am, nipping at your toes when she wants attention, & following your every step around the house. Never a dull moment with a puppy:) I seriously can't imagine a baby! Right now, she is teething and boyy has she been biting more than usual! She has this "kolohe Koko face" me and mike call her..looking like she's ready to nip you any second! Ill post a picture.

Anyways, just felt like talking about her cuz I love her so much! Haha. I am back to work again...unfortunately, with the crappiest of schedules starting in April:( working lots of weekends, fridays, and split up nights...but how can I complain after being off for a month. Mike has started his new job as well..& he really likes it so I'm happy for him.

I have lost 4lbs of the weight I gained in PI but I still feel fat, lol! I feel like I always get in phases of eating well/exercising and then totally go bad cuz I go on vacation somewhere every 3 months & just indulge! Well I don't have anything booked at all this year (yet! Haha) so I'm actually gonna stay on island for more than 3months! Hopefully this means I can try to keep healthy for now..well see. Mike and I have been cooking a lot more at home and I would say eat out 75% less than before...that's a lot! Makes a big difference in my pocket & belly!

Anyways, this post was supposed to be about Koko only..& I like how it finishes off with how I want to lose weight. Lol. So random--just how my mind is. Like "oh I love my dog...hm I wanna get skinny" hahah! Ok, until next random posting✌
