Relay for Life

I have always wanted to do a relay for a cause, but have known that with as heavy as I have been, I would never be able to finish a 5k or any type of relay/race/walk, so I always just sit back and watch. This past year, I have decided not sit back and watch anymore. It is my time to get healthy, lose weight, and join the masses. Since January, I have lost 20 pounds, I am eating healthier, and hitting the gym M-F after work. My blood sugar has been down, as well as my BP. So, when I saw all the ads for the Relay For Life event, I told myself, I am going to do this. I had been posting on Facebook that I wanted to get a team together. I wasn't getting any responses, but finally, I talked to Katrina, and between the two of us, we have gotten a team together. We will be participating in the Murrieta Relay For Life on June 2nd & 3rd. We could still use more team members if you are interested, and if you can't join us, maybe you can donate to this great cause. There is a link on my Facebook page if you would like to donate.I am so very excited. Our team name is 50 Shades Fighting and we have designed an awesome t-shirt for our team! It's going to be a great time for a great cause. I myself, am walking in memory of Phil Heldrich, one of my best friends husband who lost his battle with cancer in November 2010 at the age of 45, and for Princess Hayley(whom I only met once at my cousins wedding, but had me at Hello) who lost her battle in December 2011 at the mere age of 7, and for all the others that have lost their battle with this dreaded disease. I am also proud to walk in Honor of one of my best friends, Steve Ferrell, who is a Prostate Cancer Survivor. I hope to make this event an annual part of my life.
Thank You Katrina for helping me get this team together, and for keeping me on track. I couldn't have made it this far without you. :-)

To You and Yours,
Shari

Weekend Fun!!!

Had a pretty good weekend. Friday night Rick & I went out to dinner (yep, just the two of us) to BJ's. Had a great dinner then headed to Target for a little bit. Got up on Saturday and met my former bosses at the preschool to help them with some paperwork. Then from there went and picked up my mom and she & I went to Disneyland(THANK YOU SHAY for signing us in). We were supposed to meet Laura & Peanut(Andrea) there and as they had a birthday party first. When they finally got there, Laura's pass was blacked out for that day, so my mom & I met her at Downtown Disney for a little while. When they left, we headed to California Adventure. We went on some rides and watched "The World of Color" water show. It was amazing!! On Sunday I watched the Angels game(they lost) and went to Costco & Sam's Club. Now it's Monday and back to work! Have a great day my friends!!! xoxo

Angels Nail Art!!

So I thought that if I painted my nails Angels Red and wrote Go Angels that maybe they might win a game or two.  So, that is what I have done here and I am hoping it works.  If it does, I will continue to wear Angels Red nail polish, and some sort of positive Halo's motivation throughout the season.  Thanks to Katrina for the painting and writing.  And
LETS

GO ANGELS!!!  It's time for some WINS!!!!!!

Worst Night Ever

I will have to say, that last night was one of the worst nights I have ever had in this battle with the hormones? I am not sure, but I think I am having some major side effects of the Thyroid medicine I am on. I cried like I have never cried before, and cried for hours last night, for no apparent reason at all. I have been feeling blah for the last couple of days, and kinda weepy, but wow, I didn't think I had that many tears in me. I want to take this time to thank Steve and Katrina for being there for me last night (via text messages), and Rick & Kyle, for their continued love and support while I am going through this trying time. I will be calling the doctor today to let her know what is going on, I already have an appointment for April 24th for my physical. I really don't think she will change my medicine yet, as when she put me on it she said I have to take it for 6 weeks, then have another blood test to see where I am. UGH!! I have already had a little weepiness this morning, but feel a little better then yesterday. So we will see. Have a good day everyone, I am going to do my best!!! Love Ya!!!

Angels Game May 6th!!

So my plans have changed. I just got 2 Angels tickets to May 6th's game. Its a Sunday afternoon game. My son's friends girlfriend was selling them, for $40 each, and the seats are right behind the Angels Dugout!! So my friend Laura and I are going to go. I CAN'T WAIT!!! My first game, and I have great seats!! So I guess I will skip the train on Friday night and just go on Sunday instead! All Right....now I am going to brave the storm and go home.

Here is an Alley Cats video!!

Had a Blast with The Alley Cats!!!

Last night was so much fun. Left work, picked up Deborah and her mom, and off we went to Santa Ana to see The Alley Cats. We left Horsethief Canyon at 4:35 and made it to Santa Ana by 5:05, no traffic at all. Since we were so early we stopped of at Jerry's Dogs, a place I used to go when I worked at WestWorks. We had a quick dinner, and headed to the church. There we met up with, Laura, her sister Patty, and of course, Baby Andrea. Once we were finally able to get in, as the gates were locked where we parked, it was off to the show. We walked in and I saw Royce right away and gave him a big hug and his & Mando's gifts. He invited me back to the dressing rooms so they could open them. I made them each a Silver Record, with the label saying The Alley Cats 25 Year Anniversary-1987-2012. Then I listed all their CD's and DVD on the label. Put them in a frame, and there you have it. They both loved them. :-) I took a couple of pics, then went back out to sit with my friends. The show was wonderful, as it always is. I was introduced later as their #1 Stalker. (And I am Proud of that) Andrea did great during the show...she was even singing(okay kinda screaming, but a happy scream). After the show was over, we took some pics and headed home. I was home by 9:00ish. I then wanted to upload my pictures onto Facebook, then I decided to upload my videos to YouTube...big mistake. I had never done it before, and I couldn't remember my username or password, and I have a few out there with each email address. So, about 3 hours later, I finally was able to get into YouTube and upload my videos. LOL! Then I couldn't fall asleep. I finally fell asleep around 1:30am, and my alarm went off at 5:00am. Yep, I am really feeling it now!! I am exhausted. So, since it is pouring rain, and I just want to get home, I am leaving work, and going to once again hit my treadmill at home. I am really doing quite well. Have lost a total of 11 pounds, and feel healthy. So on that note, Peace Out Cub Scout!!
