I'm blogging about fitness- figured being put on the spot to lose weight may be my only option! ha ha no seriously.

I'll be HERE from now on- and this blog will be shut down shortly.

And ps- I won't only be talking about fitness, you know I have to insert some sassiness, etc. in there!

Needed

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 14:56:00 +0000

Shameless self-promotion here.

Women, men, children and animals- please go follow me @beastsportsgirl on twitter. I need you! :) and I will follow you back for sure.

Be a witness to my journey to getting ripped, ok more fit.

Thank you!

PS- someone asked me to delete a comment from a previous post- I would gladly do it except you didn't tell me what you posted under. :) So let me know!

Totally forgot about this

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 22:17:00 +0000

Holy cow! I totally forgot about this website and thought it was 'off'! how about that? that shows what a horrible owner I've been.

Well lots of things have been going on recently. I am now working for a company and guess what? they want me to write on their blog (Flab to Fit) which yes, by the name of the title it means I know HAVE to work out a little more often and post pictures on the site. Shoot me now.

Anyhoo, so I'll be on twitter quite a bit posting pics, doing updates, and blogging. Would love for you to follow me so we can chat because God knows I need and could use a few friendly faces around :) The blog address has not been published yet so I don't know what that is, but the Twitter? Yeah I know what that is:

www.twitter.com/beastsportsgirl

Follow me! it'll be fun! oh and here's what my lovely daughter has been up to this summer:

ziplining

swimming

got new glasses

got a surfboard

and a bird.

Life is...nuts.

82 days to go

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Tue, 03 May 2011 10:41:00 +0000

The pain is unbelievable! but starting to feel the 'no pain no gain' thing of it...but it still hurts and I want a massage pronto. The workout was 9 stations of all upper body and stomach exercises with weights. We'll have the same workout for the next 2 weeks and then it changes. The tricep exercises so kick my ass and I can barely do them. And I'm not too fond of medicine balls anymore...not that I ever was.

Jill- I joined a group and it's extremely organized...to the point that if you don't follow their diet and their regimen, you get kicked out. It's what I need because I thrive on structure.

I'm off to eat my egg white burrito. Will chase with a few advils.

Still 83 to go

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Tue, 03 May 2011 01:21:00 +0000

I went to the boot camp workout.

Can't type much because it hurts to have my arms so high up on the desk.

Will write more later.

Please send ben-gay.

83 days to go

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 02 May 2011 10:19:00 +0000

I haven't even started and I'm freaking out over the food. I have a list of foods I am allowed to eat. NO MEAT. Hello, have you met me? My name is "K"arnivore, and I'm not particularly pleased about this.

Anyways, I go to class tonight and can't wait because I have lots of questions. I'm supposed to have 6 meals a day but if they want me to fit in 6 meals from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep that means I have to get up at 5am for my first meal and then my last meal at 8pm. Considering my class tonight is at 430pm I'm pretty much counting on being dead by 6pm so what's going to happen then?

84 days

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sun, 01 May 2011 22:04:00 +0000

Tomorrow I start my 84 day body transformation. Twelve weeks of a boot camp of sorts just because I am not happy with what I've become...haven't been for a while.

Stay tuned as I chronicle my daily struggles and successes within the next 84 days; it'll be all about me, myself and I. And whatever else comes with trying to figure out whether or not 'whom' is a direct object or something else. I mean, really? this is the part about English I hated.

20 to go!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:35:00 +0000

That's right! I weighed myself today. Minus 7.2 pounds!!!!!

Thank goodness the hardest part is over ( holidays)

Is this thing on?

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 14:03:00 +0000

So tell me....blogger or wordpress? Can't decide and it's driving me crazy.

Lazy River my ass

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 02:00:00 +0000

Go here www.mrskinflorida.com so you can see what I'm talking about it- I'm back from vacation. My butt hurts. My sides hurt and well, everything hurts.

yeah well i lied

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 10 May 2010 18:30:00 +0000

after many months of thinking things through- who knew this silly thing would weigh in my mind so much?

well- it did- and have decided what to finally do with this.

introducing:

www.mrskinflorida.com

This is the last time...I promise

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:05:00 +0000

But I really prefer Wordpress...I keep moving around. I need a change before my head explodes...and guess what? I'm going back to my old roots. To the way things used to be...and guess what? You'll all find 3 years worth of posts back from my single days since that's where I used to house my itsjustjane.com blog. (Those, however, will be up in about 24 hours as Wordpress is revising the merging of the old blog with the new one).

You can now find me here....itsmejane.wordpress.com; because Wordpress wouldn't let me use itsjustjane again. I'm going back to basics and I'm going to have a little more fun doing this. And I promised you will have a little more fun reading it too.

Love,

Jane ;)

It's Christmas!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:10:00 +0000

We just got back from a little winter holiday- we went to Disney and stayed at the beautiful Animal Kingdom Resort. And, get this: as we were about to enter the park on Saturday, I realized that J's seasonal ticket was not valid because it was officially 'blackout time'. So we get in line and I get tapped by 2 girls on the shoulder...next thing I know they are insisting that I accept two park-hopper tickets. Merry Christmas they insisted, and I was just waiting for the 'but' in the sentence. They even walked us in, gave us our tickets, hugged us goodbye and told us to enjoy our day. I shit you not. J couldn't believe it...what nice girls....I think. ;)

So that was our little Christmas miracle. I saved $200 in entrance tickets which I then went and spent somewhere else. One guess.

You all have a Merry Christmas, I'm off for the week; I haven't wrapped ONE gift. And I have stuff everywhere- must get cracking.

It's safe now to show you this

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 10:59:00 +0000

Our Christmas/Holiday picture...

and it says:

Seasons Greetings from G, C, J...and the random Frenchman!

I know, I know...it's not the same but believe me, my phone hasn't stopped ringing with people telling me they've laughed their butts off...

Movie Review- Invictus

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 23:48:00 +0000

I went to see this movie on Sunday because being married to a South African, well I was literally dragged by my feet to go see it. I didn't even have a sitter so J had to go with us- it is rated PG-13 and sometimes I flinch at taking J to these movies. BUT- it had no sex (shocker), no drugs (really!) and one act of violence from old tv footage and one bad word that I remember...the F word. Once.

I was actually quite entertained and never really thought I would find men in short shorts hot. But oh my! the eye candy! J and I both left thinking that rugby is a rough sport, G left in his glory (he used to play rugby) and I went into the closet to get his Bokke shirt just like the ones above. It was interesting to watch this movie with a product of the apartheid movement next to me. Let's face it, G never lived in the country where there was a 'one man, one vote' type of thing. But he said what the coach said early on. Everyone thought that when Mandela would leave jail, there would be chaos. But it wasn't like that- during the years he presided over the country, the country actually flourished. It has been the presidents after him that have allowed the country to go 'to the dogs'.

So if you have 2 1/2 hours, go see it. It was slow at times, but good.

Aw...how sweet!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 11:38:00 +0000

A day in the life...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:43:00 +0000

Work is crazy. Let me tell you CRAZY.

When you deal with bankruptcies, it's like opening a box of chocolates; you never know what you are going to get. Every single one of our clients is a mess. And I understand why. But some are better than others at handling their situation.

Case in point...

We have clients who bring us cookies for getting them out of a financial mess a husband or wife left behind when they perished.

We have clients who should wear shirts that say 'It wasn't me'...their credit cards are out of control, why? SOMEONE must have stolen their numbers. Because they surely don't have 100k+ in stuff at their home to show for it.

We have clients who cry poor when it comes to paying attorney fees but when we call to tell them, that we can work something out, they are on vacation...in Europe.

We have clients who have gotten themselves in such a mess that they dont' know what to do with themselves and they blame US for not getting them out of it fast enough.

We have clients that never do as asked but claim they sent in papers that were asked from them. And then they pull the race card- they say that because they don't speak my perfect english, that I'm just throwing their stuff away...then I tell them to speak to me in their language because I can speak it as well.

We have clients that should just be declared angels...except the world is against them. The ex wife, the kids, everyone but the new trophy wife. Pretty soon, when we ask him to be accountable for some things, we will be against him as well.

This is taking longer than expected! More to come later.

Have a great Friday.

My baby is TEN today

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:23:00 +0000

Double digits. TEN. Diez! She is NOT A BABY ANYMORE! Gone is the new baby smell...gone is the goo-goo-gah gah and the teething pain. Gone. Kaput.

Oh but what do I have now? A girl whose feet stink when she exercises, a girl who is now 5' tall and growing, a young lady in the making. A girl who has the sweetest heart and is the most compassionate kid I know.

My baby girl is growing up too fast for me to handle. Where is the pause button?

**She is so sweet that when I told her I "forgot" to buy her birthday gift (of course I didn't!) her response? 'that's ok mom, you give me plenty all year 'round, you really don't need to give me anything, just a hug and a kiss". I SWEAR to you...I'm at a loss as to where this kid came from- because I'm all about the presents!!!!!

So what's a happening?

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 00:26:00 +0000

Life is crazy...my boss wants me to work 3 days a week, my husband wants me to help him, my daughter has swimming every day.

How do I split myself in 3 ways so I can a)keep my job, b)please my husband and c) do my motherly duties?

I think I'll just have a nervous breakdown.

But seriously, I'm trying to delegate a lot of the house duties in order for me to have some time alloted for grooming, bathroom duties, and just some web surfing. So G and I decided whoever wakes up last, has to make the bed and clean up the room from the night before. We couldn't help but crack up the other morning when we were both awaking from our sleep at 625am, when I held his hand, he turned to hold mine and I quickly jumped out of bed and triumphantly screamed "I'M UP FIRST! YEEEHAW!"...at 626 in the morning. We thought that was going too far.

So now I turned the alarm clock off, put my phone under my pillow just so that I'm the only one who can wake up first...at 5 in the morning.

I'm tired, but at least I don't have to make the bed. Yay me.

I guess he'll have more time to himself now

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:17:00 +0000

and he can at least scratch one person off his Christmas list...funniest/sad story I've read lately.

HERE is the story.

Phiew!

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 17:08:00 +0000

Sorry I've been scarce, but I've been getting ready for J's 10th Birthday party- we're doing something different this year- I'm taking six of her friends to dinner, then back home for movies, popcorn, candy and a pajama party!

And the most stressful part? J asked that I bake her cake and NOT order one...so this is what I came up with...can you tell what the theme is? :)

My favorite part is the cake stand...it's my new find and I only paid $5.00 for it on clearance!! Homegoods is the best place ever!

Christmas Shopping is...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 20:31:00 +0000

kicking my butt this year!

Ebay? I've sold over $300 worth of stuff and I'm now hooked- I almost took G's shoes off of him so I could sell them. I'm anticipating having a very minimalistic look soon because I'll probably start selling all sorts of stuff. Like the little flat screen that has been a decoration for over a year because well, I can't get cable in my kitchen.

I don't know what to do for my kid; other than the kindle, I have no clue. I bought her some clothes, and her stocking stuffers are done but what else to get her? NOT A CLUE.

I'm done with the husband. A few shirts, and some kind of pricey magazine subscriptions to soccer mags from England. Let the worshipping begin.

So you wanna know what I've been up to?

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:57:00 +0000

Cleaning closets...and organizing drawers...and putting my tree up.

And as a result of cleaning closets, THIS is the end result. Just in case you know anyone who is interested...I haven't worn these in forever and a day. So it is time to just let it all go.

Weirdest Thanksgiving ever...

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 18:52:00 +0000

So yeah this Thanksgiving John and I are finally sharing the day with our kid. No YOUR or MY holiday anymore. He calls me 2 hours before he's supposed to pick her up for lunch to "talk"..'real quick'.

Of all the things I thought about what he said were the last words I thought I would ever hear...what did he say?: 'I'm getting a divorce'.

Even though all this time I've been telling him how wrong she is for his entire family, I suddenly felt shocked because what John is told is bad for him, John will keep doing. But first things first, he always said he loved her and everyone deserves their own little piece of happiness, right? I never thought I'd say 'whoa, are you sure? can't you work it out?' the answer was no because she made him choose. My kid or her. WHOA...I literally said it out loud. I told him his own daughter had predicted this day and told me her fears about him choosing his wife. Well he said no one is going to tell him he can't see his child. And apparently this woman is not telling him just that she doesn't want J around her house...she doesn't want HIM to even make the effort to see her during holidays, or whatever days at all. Talk about a mean bitch.

So this year I'm thankful for one more thing: that my daughter's dad had the good sense to pick his family. Even though I feel sad for him. I'm thankful that my daughter will no longer feel like the red-headed stepchild (nothing against redheads) and unwanted in that house because there will be no more going to that house...ever. Very thankful that she can finally see concrete evidence of all the support she has around her.

I'm thankful I've managed to still keep my kid well dressed, groomed, and well fed (I really do surprise myself because dogs were too much for me to handle).

I'm thankful for my husband even though we've had a heck of a time trying to find a negotiable place amongst his family, my stubborness and just life altogether.

I'm thankful for my job-I'm thankful that I can work when I want and still play all the tennis I want, meet my friends for lunch as often as I want, etc.

I'm thankful for my latin friends- they keep my brain busy and my Spanish alive.

I'm thankful for my tennis friends- they keep my body going and my swear words alive.

I'm thankful for the rest of my friends- they understand me and still want to go hang out with me.

I'm thankful for everyone I've met in cyberspace....I've even met some of you in person and hope to get invited to a wedding soon...HINT HINT HINT. We'll come M!

And of course, I'm thankful for everything else around me as well.

The Holidays are here...how to hide from the in-laws?

noreply@blogger.com (Mrs. K) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:46:00 +0000

Ok so not really.

G and I have come a long way this year...never mind we almost killed each other in the process but I think we have found a way to compromise for the holidays from here on forward.

I get a present for every Jewish Holiday Celebration I have to attend and I get a present from the one Christmas Holiday I make him participate in. Isn't it faboo??

And seriously, he said he wants nothing for Christmas but of course, I can't give him nothing- thing is I have NO IDEA what to get my husband with non-existent gadget operating ability. I love gadgets, my daughter loves gadgets, he? not so much.

My question is- if his family are all Jewish...am I obligated to buy them Christmas gifts or Hannukah gifts if they participate in neither? Who do you buy for outside of your husband/children? I haven't gotten a gift from my parental units in like 25 years so why do I have to now buy for my husband's parental unit? But alas, I did- a small token (not from Chuck E Cheese) and will give her a holiday gift. If you had all paid attention I gave you a very good linke a few weeks ago- I got MIL a Kate Spade make up bag...originally priced at 85.00 but bought it for 15.00 during their sample sale. So that's what she's getting and I got myself one too. But my SILs or BILs don't really even acknowledge the holiday so I figure it's ok to just not buy them anything right? I will, however, invite them to Christmas Dinner because damn it, I want to bake a turkey!

Thanksgiving will be spent at a Country Club this year (YUK) but I'm ok with it because last year I had it my way, so it's fair this year is their way. But...they are eating at 5pm and who goes out to eat that late for Turkey day?

No matter, I'm making this holiday season the best ever because frankly, I can. I'm about half way done with shopping - J is getting a kindle- that's her big gift because she's a reader and I'm really sick of finding her books EVERYFREAKINGWHERE so this is really a gift for myself also.

As far as G, I'm lost. I wanted to get him a Garmin or whatever but guess what? I took him to the store to 'see' them and he couldn't figure the damn thing out and I refuse to buy things in which I have to give tutorials in.

Ok so after this post I seem like a bit of a Scrooge- maybe that should be my cover...bah-humbug!
