Sheesh working out and losing …wait … oops I mean “weight” and getting fit USED TO come with at least a month of semi-hard work watching what I ate and a little exercise. That was like 5 years ago. Being over 30 and trying to get back to being fit and tone has been a struggle for the past month and 1/2. Yeah, yeah, yeah … I know weight isn’t the most important part and you’re right its not cause it definitely ain’t shedding as fast as I would like … I gotta take into consideration … muscles and inches and I’m am … but it doesn’t make it any easier when measuring my success is done by what I see on a scale. Yada yada blah blah blah … (i’m already hearing the voices in my head tell me throw the scale out the window)… I know the scale doesn’t matter, but it does matter to me …  BUT…

 Its different this time … its not just a cardio based work out (dropping the majority of excess water weight) … but changing my eating habits … lifting weights… trying new outdoor activities and the one hardest to change is trying to drink alcohol less often (yeah thats a hard one … even if its just to avoid the usual beer or 2 with dinner).  I’m aiming for a healthier lifestyle change not just a diet.  Oh boy did I really say that … I’m not getting any younger and the metabolism is functioning slower, gravity is slowly but surely taking its hold … but you know what …I’m gonna resist as long as possible. I’m gonna ride the ”I look young therefore I will feel young” train.  I don’t know how long it will last but MighTy J is motivating me to vibe the vibe were aiming for … sexy, cool, different … therefore hopefully these baby steps will get me to my goal of feeling, living, being healthier….

I’m not trying to be a size 3 or enter any skinny pageants or be someone I’m not, but I want to live up to my own expectations and my own potential. Later in life I still want to be able to run with and surf with my kids when it due time. I’m not making any announcements just stating my future endeavors …yet I hope they (the little ones) come soon (but not too soon) cause i don’t know how motivated i’ll be to stay fit.  LOL … kidding but not.  So I’m still chugging along (no pun intended when it comes to drinks) … taking it day by day … if anyone else wants to join in on Tiki’s Fit Club …hollah in the shoutbox … or talk to the MighTy J PA Rai … i’m sure the exercise nazi will be able to assist …

So folks, how ya’all doin? Today’s my birthday, happy ummmm well, neva mine… Ya know, I have come to a slight conclusion that in the beginning when parents had a party for your birthday and planned games, made goodie bags, tailed the donkey, paid for pizza, say cheese with chuckee Chesse, it was truly to celebrate the passing of another year and a blessed one at that for our parents being able to simply get through the year and have a child that is not completely screwed up, or screwed!!! Ha!

These days, now that we’re older, I feel that its important to celebrate your la hanau so that you won’t feel that left hip wear out, or that high school track injury as much, or that fog horn that supposedly is supposed to be blowin’ any moment by now. Your celebration is to be with real friends. REAL FRIENDS!!!! REAL FAMILY, meaning people who are supposed to act, funtion, and operate like a real family. As you get older, this is how you should celebrate your birthday. You need to be able to enjoy getting a year older. You deserve it!

I enjoyed my birthday eves everyone. Mahalo to our boys of the band!!! We played at D and B’s off of WARD and they rocked our show. I was also taken out to a nice dinner where I was able to get slightly plastered with karaoke and hiccupping on the mic followed; and I was also given a beautiful key chain and a yellow top. Tonight I got to finally see Milo Shade (tiki’s group) perform at Ige’s. PRICELESS!!!!! I loved it, I miss the sounds girls, mean!

Most importantly, I don’t think its what you get for your birthday, its the thought that counts, and what YOU give… So, mahalo everyone who remembered and emailed me, texted me, called me to say happy birTday…

But I’d like to mahalo you all deeply and wish you an awesome day and I hope I’m there to help celebrate it with you!!!

ps, we need a cool slammin’ name for our boys, help us!
