I can and I will…. that’s what I’ve been telling myself for the past three days.
I’ve been repeating it over and over like a mantra…
You want to know what’s that all about, don’t you? Well, I downloaded Hip Hop Abs by Shaun T the other day….
I figured a video isn’t so hard to follow and so I say my mantra ….I can and I will….
I just want to incorporate some exercise into my everyday life….not really aiming for that “Hip Hop Abs” because I know it’s not gonna happen… I love butter and sugar too much….Oh dear me.
Sis ate half a bag of Cadbury chocolate eclairs last night while watching Being Human. I pass by her when I go to the kitchen and I could practically smell the caramel and chocolate.
I ate 6 pieces.
Its Wednesday.
I haven’t done a single thing on that video. Go on laugh. I’m embarassed.
Today, I promise I’m going to do some working out….
I can and I will.
And I’m gonna reward myself with Bacon Jam tomorrow….
And if, miraculously, I lose some weight, I will reward myself with anĀ htc desire hd — the latest Windows 7 phone — for a job well done.
And as if you didn’t already know, here’s the recipe for that Crispy Shrimp Wonton I made…

OMG..I totally love that you wrapped the shrimp IN the wontons!!!!!!Ā

I like the idea of rewarding oneself for losing weight. I might consider that too š
oooh. yum! my brother loves shrimp and I’m sure he’ll definitely love this! š
That looks awesome!
These look delicious! Yum! I love shrimp.
hahahha! I know how you feel. For the past 3 years or so I’ve tried a lot of things to help me lose weight: (in no particular order) pills, ab-swing, the bean, gym, badminton. But apparently exercise isn’t really my thing. Right now the only thing I’m doing is getting an almost daily dose of running, and I’m glad to say I’m not getting tired of it. Hopefully I never will. Good luck on your “hip hop journey” and maybe the key is balance – eat and exercise heartily. šĀ
