Half-way

First of, I'd like to thank everyone who's being leaving comments on my "May Challenge" post.
I really didn't think it was going to get such a vivid response.

Today is Thursday and I'm half way through the week, I was going to post on Tuesday so it was a week from when I first started the challange, but Ils mentioned she thought the whole concept of "May Challenge" was a reverse of SuperSize me..I think she's right!

So, I still don't have video footage, but I'm going to get on it..I will try to keep the video and comentary as flattering as possible(a woman always has to be on point!)

I will tell you how the week has been coming so far, for one no starbucks has been consumed(more difficult than it sounds-i live a block away from it), no alcohol has been had either, now for the last portion of the challange..I'll leave it up to you.

As part of the challange i am not allowed junk food. Let me preface the junk food factor with this: I usually have a 10 a.m. snack, this snack is usually a fruit(pink grape fruit,orange, golden apple,grapes, etc). Eating snacks in between your main meals helps your metabolic rate keep steady,hence you burn more calories when you eat smaller meals.
Having said this, I've been broke(like you have no idea) and not had enough $$ to go buy adequate groceries(healthy food is WAY more expensive than you'd like to admit)

Ok, now back to the point..Tuesday and Wednesday i've had a muffin(blueberry, and poppy seed).
So, my question is....do you think this is junk food? If yes...why?

Thanks for the input guys!

The May Challange

Hello people!

I know it's been a while since I've posted but, I'm here, back and ready to roll.
Currently spring here in the Nation's Capital(Ottawa), which means also time for Spring Cleaning. Back in the D.R. I don't think we do too much of that either cause we think we're always clean ;) or..cause we just don't have to put stuff away for the winter.
Anyway!
This post is to let you all know that I have taken it upon myself to conduct a little experiment, the subject of the experiement? No one other than MYSELF! :o *shocker!*

So, here is the premise... Most of you don't know this but... I drink alot of Starbucks each one of those puppies costs about 5 dollars so it starts to add up. Other than starbucks, alcohol is my drink of choice on the weekends :p That's also$$ cause you need to pre-drink and pay cover at the bar blah blah
As a concecuence of the drinking, McDonalds is a must to avoid hang overs. I hope you aren't loosing respect for me people :p

The point of me telling you about my "lifestyle" is this..all those things I mentioned are 1. Fattening(and bad for you) and 2. They cost me lot's of $$!

So for the month of May, I'm giving it all (alcohol,starbucks and junk food) up in order to see how much money I can save and how much weight I can avoid piling on ;)

I start tomorrow and will be documenting my progress, if you are interested or care enough to stop by once in a while, you'll see how i'm doing..and if I can even make it a whole 31 day month!

Stay tuned, and if you're interested in taking the challenge with me speak up! :D

OUCH!

What was she thinking!?
Before you scroll down I must warn you this post is not for people with weak stomachs!

Supposedly tattoos aren't "in" anymore, and this is the latest trend..and this my friends is why I am trendsetter NOT a follower!

Las cosas que se ven en este mundo.

I wanted to show you guyz a video. I hope you will take the time to read the news release.

Trust me, you want to read this. I've attached the video in the post after this one.

Police arrested 17-year-old Demetris McCoy on Feb. 23 after finding the video which shows the two men giving marijuana cigarettes to McCoy's nephews.
The video shows two children being taught to smoke marijuana and the men encouraging them to "get high," police said. A man can be seen placing a marijuana cigarette into a baby's mouth and, in another part of the video, a different boy is shown smoking on his own. ^[1] WATAUGA, Texas -- The great-grandmother of the two young boys who police say were coerced into smoking marijuana by their uncle calls the entire episode outrageous, NBC 5 reported. The videotape confiscated by Watauga Police shows the boys, ages 2 and 5, actually being provided with marijuana by their uncle Demetrius McCoy, 17, and the uncle's friend, Vanswan Polty, 18, police said.^[2] In a search for stolen goods in Watauga, Texas, police discovered a disturbing videotape of a two-year-old boy and his five-year-old brother being coerced into smoking marijuana, CNN reported yesterday. Two teenagers, aged 17 and 18, are facing third-degree felony charges for their alleged involvement in trying to get the two young boys to smoke the drug.^[3] The video contains disturbing images of the young children being badgered into smoking a marijuana cigar, commonly referred to as a 'blunt,' the release said. The paper said that the current charges against McCoy represent a third-degree felony and he is being held on $150,000 bail until trial.^[4]

Laughter is heard throughout the tape, and McCoy jokes with the boys about getting the munchies. Police have now arrested both men, and they face charges of injury to a child and felony child endangerment. When Polty was asked why he would give marijuana to children, he responded with expletives.^[5] Mr. Polty, 18, was arrested Friday at a relative's home in Fort Worth and is in the Watauga City Jail. Both men were being held in lieu of $150,000 bail and face two counts of injury to a child, a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.^[6] WATAUGA, Texas - A second suspect was arrested in connection with a videotape that shows him and another man teaching a 2- and 5-year-old how to smoke marijuana, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.^[1]

Police are still investigating and haven't ruled out charges against a third teen, a 16-year-old who was the cameraman, or the mother, who was in the house at the time. Fort Worth police came across the video on Feb. 22 when they executed a search warrant at a home in the 6000 block of Hickoryhill Road in Watauga, Mr. Ure said.^[6] The Texas courts have issued third-degree felony charges against the derelict teenagers. "I have never seen anything like this quite so disturbing," said Bruce Ure, director of public safety for the Watauga Police Department. "Our children count on us to protect them; these individuals did everything but protect these children."^[7]

WATUGA, Tex. - A Texas Police team says it's the most disturbing video it has ever seen. Police say they recently found home video of a 17-year-old and his friend coaxing his 2 and 5-year-old nephews to smoke pot. In the video, one of the older boys can be heard asking the young children if they have the munchies.^[8]

Officers say at one point the video shows McCoy lighting the joint for the 2-year-old. Police say this wasn't the first time the kids were pressured into narcotics. "The 2-year-old child, he's actually inhaling it," said Chief Bruce Ure of the Watauga Police. "He's got a raspy voice. He gives all the indications that this is not his first time, which is incredibly sad." Both of the young brothers seen in the video are now in foster care the teens are being charged with injury to a child.^[8] McCoy's two nephews, ages 2 and 5, were placed in the care of Child Protective Services shortly after the tape was seized on Feb. 22. Police said they located the video on a camera while acting on a burglary warrant linked to a string of burglaries they suspect McCoy of being involved with.^[4] The boys, who are McCoy's nephews, were removed from the home by Child Protective Services, a spokesperson said. The boys' mother told police she was asleep in another part of the home and was unaware of what was happening.^[9]

The children are stumbling, falling around." The 2-year-old was holding a suspected marijuana cigarette "like he's done it before," Ure said. "He's inhaling." The boys' mother is McCoy's sister, and told police she was "sleeping in the back bedroom during the incident."^[7] The 5-year-old, police said, hit the 2-year-old in the head to get the crackers. "You would think out of sheer family values, McCoy would have stood up for his nephews and said, 'We shouldn't do this,' " Mr. Ure said. Mr. Ure said investigators haven't interviewed the children but believe that they probably were given marijuana before. "There's no telling how many times these kids have been subjected to this type of mistreatment," Mr. Ure said.^[6]

The camera then pans to Mr. Polty, who laughingly makes an obscene gesture, Mr. Ure said. On the video, Mr. McCoy also calls the children "potheads" and jokes about them having the "munchies" when the children begin fighting over crackers.^[6] Mr. Ure said that in the video, Mr. McCoy is sitting in an overstuffed living room chair. He places a marijuana cigar, called a "blunt," into the 2-year-old's mouth and tries to light it with a lighter. He then takes it back and lights it before returning it to the toddler's mouth, Mr. Ure said.^[6]

In the video, the children are called "potheads" and a man can be seen placing a marijuana cigarette into a baby's mouth. In another part of the video a boy is seen smoking on his own. The children were also asked if they "have the munchies."^[10] "The video contains disturbing images of the young children being badgered into smoking a marijuana cigar, commonly referred to as a 'blunt,"' according to a release from the Watauga Department of Public Safety.^[11]

Police determined that the lengthy video depicted two children being taught to smoke marijuana and encouraged to "get high," the news release states.^[12] CNN shows us a shocking video of two teens teaching a two year old and his five year old brother how to smoke Marijuana.^[13]

On the home video, a teenage uncle and his friend laugh and giggle as they watch a toddler and his 5-year-old brother smoke a marijuana cigar at the Watauga home.^[6]

Watauga Police said the boys' mother could also face charges. For images of the suspects and more screenshots from the video, click on the thumbnail links this story's sidebar.^[9] Polty faces burglary charges and is free on $22,000 bail. The boys' mother, McCoy's sister, has told police she was sleeping in a back bedroom during the incident. She has not been charged.^[14]

The police were reportedly searching McCoy's home on a burglary warrant. He was arrested on suspicion of injury to a child, a third-degree felony.^[15] Another teenager has been arrested in connection with a videotape showing a 2-year-old and 5-year-old smoking marijuana, police said.^[16] A Watauga woman says she is just as shocked as anyone to see her grandson helping her two great-grandsons to smoking marijuana. She says.^[9]
