Summer is officially over, at least for me. My summer companion and my ride, my mom, started working today. That's it,the two month's went by too fast, as they do every summer and on the end of summer I let myself down. Why? Because on the very first day of August, of this new semester, … Continue reading Keep it up, don’t quit now

So this morning I was tagged in a Facebook post about people waiting in line at the bookstore nearby as they opened the box and revealed the new Harry Potter and the Cursed Child books. I am one of the Harry Potter fans, one of those who bought the books as soon as they were sold, one who will … Continue reading He’s back so I’ll be reading
I don't want to talk about politics, but I have to say something: Last night I stayed up a little later than I usually do because I was watching Hilary Clinton give her acceptance to her presidency nomination, making her the first woman in the history of the United States to be nominated by a … Continue reading In my opinion, she deserves your votes
That's it, I don't want to worry about my size anymore. I have been worried because I have been trying to fit into clothes that just don't fit me anymore, they were small sizes I could fit into when I was too skinny after my accident. I'm tired about feeling ashamed of my body just … Continue reading Forget clothing sizes, they’re just numbers
Day 3, but i've been working out everyday since Monday so really it's day 4, and I'm feeling it. Not the work, the pain. I am so tired and I can't believe tomorrow I have to go again. Why do I do this? Well, I said on my blog so I don't want to be … Continue reading Why did I say I was going to do this?
Day one of my new healthy lifestyle went very well. I don't know if I'm doing this right because I'm not on a diet so I ate my cheeseburger and Ruffles chips with sour cream and onion dip for lunch, but the cheeseburger wasn't big. I also went to the gym after that, so that's … Continue reading Day 1- I’m not quitting
This summer has been a rude awakening for me, showing me that I need to worry about my weight. I never cared about this, I love to eat and that's true love, I will never abandon it, but I forgot I can't eat everything on my plate and then have two, maybe three scoops of … Continue reading This is not a diet
I just found my post from a year ago today, when I had reached a low point in my search for a job. I want and need a job I had finished a summer job, but that only lasted a month, I needed and wanted something more permanent. It makes me really happy to be able … Continue reading Then and now
I had just arrived at work this morning and I was reading an article about Uber in Puerto Rico; is it good, not good? Now suddenly the taxi drivers are good? I was hoping to get to the part where it made sense but then I felt dizzy. My head was spinning and that scared … Continue reading 15 months seizure free!
Today I want to talk about my mother. What can I say about mami? Well, she is the daughter of abuela, so she is one strong woman. She did everything she could to raise my brother and me, to be independent, successful, and to be good people. She did everything, from always having dinner on … Continue reading Mami
I talked about my grandpa, and now I want to talk about my grandma. They both deserve their own separate posts because they are both very important and very interesting. I hope she already knows how much I love her, and how important she is in my life, but if she doesn't, here goes. Just like … Continue reading Abuela
A very important part in my rehabilitation has been the large support group I have, from my family and friends, to friends of friends. There has always been someone there to help, from getting a job, a doctor, or medicine, to just talking. I will not forget all those people who have been there to … Continue reading My support group
I like to run, mostly on the treadmill, by myself just listening to music; music is a must. At the beginning of the run I just want to give up, but as I keep going I start thinking; sometimes about dinner or lunch, sometimes about movies or TV. Other times stuff in my head starts … Continue reading Run for your neurons
I'm a soccer fan, not a huge fan but I like to watch the tournaments and I am in love with a few players. However, I had not been watching the UEFA European Cup or Copa America both being held right now. I really haven't had time and that sucks, but this after noon, as … Continue reading Euro 2016 cardio
I would like to take a moment to say Happy Father's Day to all the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers (who are also fathers so they get a double celebration), and other father figures, be it a brother, a friend, or uncle, out there. I am lucky to have a few father figures in my life who … Continue reading Happy Father’s and Grandfather’s day
