last week i had alot of nite life going on… my girl MANDY SHERMAN had a birthday party at the”SAINT” on Wednesday nite , Thrusday i had an event for my friend ALLIASON MELNICK at “PLAYHOUSE” and Friday nite my friend RYAN OCONNOR had a play “RYAN O CONNOR EATS HIS FEELINGS” so it was soical nite life at its finest… during the day i was super busy with life…running around phone calls and yes the fun filled gym! TOM and I were so beat by Saturday with just one more party to attend Sunday THE SUPERBOWL! ahhh my “COLTS” lost and lost bad…i was at Toms friends house with 100 people and 90 of them were cheering for the “SAINTS” including TOM … ya and there i was all in “COLTS” gear talking all the SHIT one could until the 4th quarter… oh my ass and ego hurt !!!oh well , theres always next year… now im on to the “LAKERS”…

on Thrus i got the call… and yes my car was  finally ready after 33 days of all the crap and serious work on my car and my baby is back in my belonging… TOYOTA OF GLENDORA  was outstanding in there service of my vehicle… i would like to personally “THANK THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DAVE, DANNY AND THE ACTUAL SERVICE TECH WHO TOOK CARE OF MY CAR”they really worked with TOM and i and now baby is ready to rock and roll…

i had my mama over for the weekend and played daughter and mommy to both her and little MICKEY…it was nice…i dressed her up in “COLTS” gear too…

SOBER HOUSE 2 IS COMING OUT IN A MONTH or less  ON VH1… ive been watching CELEBRITY REHAB 3… last weeks show was amazing for me … HEID FLIESS & TOM SIZEMORE laying there talking as a once couple made me sad…(u cant act that moment as great as they were in their reality) & TOM SIZEMORE  with his girlfriend monroe(wow how she triggers him by just being in his presence) are toxic for eachother…im a little nervous about it ,SH2…i just tried my best to do what my job entailed… although im happy to say i do look much different from even that show… due to my intensive work out ,training ,eating habits and yes DARLENE oh and me too…8-O

ok so speaking intense working out my BOSS ,DARLENE  decided to crank it up a notch … ya thanks lady… to burn 3000 or omore caleries a day 10000 ateps or more and that means much more cardio and moving me around more at all times… adjusting to that has yet made me come to another challenge…she broke down how im not eating enough to burn carbs and fat so my body starts to burn muscle … this whole new way has been so intense… mentally my body doesnt want to keep going but my mind is trying… so hence me grunting like a freak at the gym and on my treadmill (poor TOM and people around me at gym) its me really going for mind over matter… last nite i watched  “THE BIGGEST LOSER’ and so effing related to them… i felt as if i was on the show… when Juliann was yelling at the poor girl who was the “teacher” about how she was playing tough girl and then her teaching her mom and her mom on the treadmill moaning,grunting thats me…breaking thru…

A NEW DAWN IS A RISING IN ME

let me just start off by talking about my tom… seriously he is such a little boy sometimes… as im writing he just locked MICKEY in our patio without even noticing…i clean our house and im a freak about it…i ask him maybe 5 times a year to help me put the sheets on the bed and seriously he kicks and screams like a baby about it… dropping f bombs and turning red its hysterical to me and how can it be a man like him changes clothes so damn much in a week… i feel like i just folded 507 t-shirts….oh i forgot to mention i also do laundry a few times a week …theres so many funny moments with TOM…watching his reaction (sometimes ) cracks me up

well tomorrow is my TOM’s birthday…

 ive been under the weather(again)… ive been around and hugging way to many people and alot of them have been sick… why hug when your sick… i only say this cuz i had pneumonia and bronchitis and its so easy for me to get sick… im now back on meds for bronchitis… man my body is so sensitive lately ….

relearning to eat correctly has been a challenge for me…ya i get sore from working out but trying not to get overwhelmed with this food intake is my challenge…see my head tells me im eating way to much and im going to get fat…but im following DARLENEs direction…i dont know if its just me but being educated on nutrition is something ive lacked in… today i had a protien shake in the morning, 4 oz of chicken and 2 corn tortillas for lunch, low fat/low sodium soup and an orange for dinner…. and yes so much water , i wished it was a slurpee ;)!!! tomorrow DARLENE said to be ready cuz she is going to intensify my training …great…. hopefully i feel better and i can do this…

SOBER HOUSE 2 comes out in MARCH on VH1!!!

its been a little over a month and a half since i wrapped SOBER HOUSE 2… i have to say that this time around there was a greater growing  experience for me… i learned more about the disease of alcoholism and addiction… more about compassion,patience,anger,my body,exercise,sleep depervation,saddness,frustration,happiness,joy,the ability to push thru,accomplishment,being of sevice,tolerance and most important love …this group of courageous men and women were very sharp,intelligent,witty,kind,scared,loving sweet and tender souls…i have to say i was kept on my toes most of the time…This disease of alcohol and drugs is deadly and really isnt a joke it wants us dead…Thank You cast Dennis,Heidi,Tom,Mike,Seth,Jenny,Kendra and Kerrie Anne…i would like to Thank Dr.Drew, John Irwin,Damien Sullivan,Bob Forrest,VH1,Dr.Sophy,Will,Loesha, Noah Pollack,Bruce Toms,Rob Buchta,Alison ,Mark J,Patrick,Louie,Stephanie,Mark P,J.R ,and the crew ,CREW CREW CREW(for being my nightly rock and sense of reality)….also Tom , Sponsor, Rachel and Alec for taking care of me while i was at war!!!…i know it sounds like a lot  of people to thank but it took all our sweat, gutts and tears to do this show…

oh the days of spending quality time with my family was starting to weigh on me… i got the opportunity this weekend…. life has been very full for me the last 9 months … with that said i’m certainly not complaining…. i’m living my dreams today …. i do have to find the balance cuz i just go go go and then i get sick and its like God doing for me what i cant yet seem to balance… balance! ha!!!!i took my ma and godmother along with Tom to the beach Saturday and Sun it was me and the girls to Venice Beach Ca…the boardwalk jeez i wanted to scream i personally dont like so many people in one place…. i did take the ladies to Sidewalk Cafe and i watched the people perform and own their space… people call them crazy but i was in awe of ther prescense,as this band performed Jeff  Buckleys “Hallelujah” and this woman who really loved her moves just danced and i think she might perform with them alot… i couldnt get my eyes off them…. the courage that they had… kinda fasinating to me…well now i’m sick , probably just runned down….i’,m honestly glad i dont use anymore… it really has thrown me off poor DJ AM dying…. i am so sad for everyone who knew him and his poor family… he was an incredible man…i just think man that could be me … those “just one more times” us in recovery say …. i have said that time and time again, my relapses…i’m just grateful 3 yrs &7 months & 23 days  ago my life began healing and i havent had to use or drink since… its just a miracle how lucky i am to have breath… its just so nice to have a grin on my face knowing at this very moment im ok !!!

LOOK! LOOOOOK! LOOOOK AT MEEEEEEE!” and typical guy behavior his eyes pop out and was like “yes” and i started crying as i stood there arms to my side “LOOK HONEY MY BOOBS DONT MORPH INTO MY BACK ANYMORE ,LIKE ONE BIG UNIBOOB/BACK!” crying like a little girl for joy…he just looked at me as was like “um good babe” so didnt get it … for me a huge victory for him just another crazy “girls are wierd moment”… so as for the clothes and my saying goodbye to the protection layer , id like to say “THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING ME WHILE I SO NEEDED YOU TO EVOLVE INTO THE WOMAN I AM BECOMING” growing up is such a trip ….i gave my mom my clothes to give to charity … hopefully it will help a woman like it did me …

I AM DOING A RADIO TALK SHOW THIS FRIDAY MAY 29TH …………………………………………………….            STRONGER THAN LIFE.                                                                                                                                                                                                           

JENNIFER GIMENEZ has accomplished a lot through out her life time so far. From modeling and acting, to addiction and recovery, she has battled and overcome the many obstacles that have been thrown her way. She has learned from her mistakes and has moved on to better her life, her career & other peoples lives as well. She is not only doing it to help others, she is doing it to help herself. And in my opinion, that makes her STRONGER THAN LIFE.
