Been 5 Years....

...... since my last entry.

Another child had left the nest and still doing college, another had done his dues for our country which leaves the last child to be ‘the only child’. Can’t decide if I should say ‘yay yay yay’ or ‘OMG I feel lonely’ cos seriously, I do miss my big children, but I am glad that I hear from them only when they need me.
 
 

Within the last 5 years I have also learned that hardwork and positive thinking do pay off….with added strength and determination. Don’t expect bucks to jump onto my lap if I don’t work it unless my jewish multi millionairess mother in law decided to hand down her inheritance before she ‘hits the soil’. Anyways, yup, and with the pay offs from the hardwork, I shamelessly admit that I am a luxury purse addict. Hmmmm, maybe I should open a blog on my obsessions .


 

And then I discovered that a happy marriage is hard work. Yeah yeah, you all know my husband. We have been married for almost 14 years. We took each other for granted, threatened to throw in the towel many a times until one day something just hit us on the head. We turned around, hugged each other and decided that we were too tired to fight. Or maybe cos he will never find another wife like me haha!

 

I refused to believe when others told me that Life begins at 40. It truly does dammit! Started the big 40 with a bang in Vegas, started running some distances the first 2 years and then decided to go gungho with Beachbody hardcore workouts. So far, I had done PiYo (pronounced as Pie-Yo), T25 and doing 2nd round of P90X3 now. I feel energetic, happy and healthy. I wonder if I get really hard core with my diet, would I be a size sub zero? That’s right, cos I will never find out! My next adventure is pedal boarding and  water skiing….and maybe a tummy tuck to go with it.
