Life style change

Here are the many indicators that I needed a lifestyle change (exercise and diet).

1. When telling my doctor that I thought I needed to lose 10 pounds, she looked at me and stated "no you need to lose 20."
2. When a girlfriend of mine saw a picture of me during my honeymoon years, she stated "my you were TINY."
3. When I am currently wearing my "post baby jeans."
4. When two years ago I decided to buy a size larger in jeans convincing myself that it would only be temporary. I still am wearing them.
5. When I put on my jeans, some unsightly flab rolls over onto the jeans. Was that TMI?

So I took action. I enrolled in jazzercise and been doing a modified weight watchers. (Calling my sister and asking how many points each food has that I am about to eat.)

Its almost been two weeks. I love jazzercise. I haven't had any winter blues since my enrollment which is an added bonus. Plus my little girl loves playing "jazzercise instructor" and dances around the house. So much fun to watch.

But here is my question? I haven't lost a single pound.
Not one.
How can that be?
I have been to jazzercise 7 times in the past week and half.
I have not had any Sonic 44 Dr. Peppers. It had been my daily morning intake.
I have cut my food intake down significantly.

Maybe I'm delusional.
While I am jazzercising I look at the instructors and think I'm their size.
Then reality hits.
I look at myself in the mirror.
Ugh.
Will I ever get down to the size I once was?

Rub a dub dub

There's a baby in a tub.

Not just any baby.

Does she look familiar?

This sweet thing made her modeling debut

on the front page of my website.

She's a few months older,

but just as precious and beautiful!

"E's" mom has two pictures similiar to this black and white of her two oldest girls. She asked if

I could duplicate it to make it a trio. So fun. This mom is so creative and sentimental. What a blessed family!

Our Angel

Valentine's Day is fast approaching.

Here is our sweet Angel.

My daughter just got another set of purple wings that flap and play music.

The first day she wore them,

she did not understand

why she could not really fly.

It seemed so logical.

Valentine's Day special. Set of 24 cards 4 x 5.5" for $30.

Spread the love.....

Temperate Tease

Yesterday was one of those days that I live for during the winter. It was 65 degrees outside. I had to enjoy it with my little ones, so we ventured to the school playground to play.

My girl instinctively knows about pure joy.

She somehow finds it everywhere.

My hope is that she will rub off on me.

I'm dreaming of another temperate tease.

New Website

I am so excited. I have made it official; I have created a photography website. Thanks to everyone who has provided so much support while I have been contemplating my new business venue. I absolutely love photography and can't wait to see what happens in 2009!

Birthday girl

This beautiful girl turns 6 today. Happy Birthday "E."

On the day of the photo shoot, it was unseasonably warm. 70 degrees in January. Maybe if I look at the last photo long enough, I can go back to that day when I was able to bask in that warm sunlight. I can dream can't I. It's 2 degrees right now. That should not be allowed.

80's revisited

My niece is super photogenic and seems to like to be in front of the camera.

I am liking her new style. A mix between Punky Brewster and Molly Ringwald.

I'm aging myself just a tad ;)

Don't you love her freckles.
