Weight Loss Update

This past week has flown by but I already feel soo much better. I forgot to mention in my blog last week along with my new exercise regimen, I also joined Weight Watchers. I had my weigh in last night and I lost 3lbs! At first, I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for a little more since Jillian Michael's tries to kill me EVERYDAY, but I'll take it! Hopefully, next week's weight loss will be the same or even more!

Does anyone have any wonderful low fat/calorie recipes to share?

On another note, my photography website is updated and up and running. Feel free to visit the updated site at www.sitphotography.net!

To All My Best Friends

Today I was thinking...I really miss all of my friends. When I moved back to Indiana from South Carolina I was soo excited to get to spend some quality time again with all my favorite people. Some of my best friends live in Indianapolis (1hour away), Lafayette (2 hours away), & Kansas (9 hours?). Yet I hardly see anyone either due to school, work, family functions, etc. One of my other resolutions this year is to see all of you more regularly. You all mean so much to me!


~I just want all of you to know that I think about you often and just because I don't see you or talk to you everday, please know that I am here for you no matter what. I miss you and love you all and hopefully we'll see each other soon~

The New Year

I know I've been a major slacker blogging lately, but I promise I will make more of an effort to let all of you know what we are up to! We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with our families (I'll post some pictures later). This year we ended up switching up the rotation and we were actually at my side for Thanksgiving and Christmas; this way we can be on the same every other year rotation with the rest of my family members. It was soo great to see all of family especially my cousins on Christmas Day. We aren't those little kids anymore that had sleepovers all the time at Grandma's (one of my favorite memories) but we each have grown up and and our making our own lives. Some have kids, expecting a baby, and or making their way into the real world. It amazes me everyday how close our families are to each other; I'm so grateful for our incredible families and our amazing friends, so life is good.

The New Year…. I love that feeling of a new start. One of my resolutions is to get into shape and feel healthy again. I hate that I despise shopping for clothes and just feel unhealthy in general. While I am not bold enough to announce my weight or post a picture of my increased waistline...I am here to say that I would love to lose 60 pounds.

Therefore, with the New Year underway and my life on the path it should be I feel like I am finally at a place where I can really invest some time in me.

So, at 6 a.m. (yes, you read that right - AM) I woke up and began my thinning journey. I busted out the 30 Day Shred with Jillian Michaels and I got to it. As a previous high school athlete & a regular exerciser in college, I thought I would always have SOME type of physical ability...no matter how long I went between workouts.

WRONG.

Apparently, if you let yourself go for 5+ years, you actually lose everything - including muscle tone, endurance, stability - all of it - gone.

So, watching me and Jillian this morning wrapping things up at 6:30 a.m. was rather humiliating. She kicked my butt and I could do nothing but weeze and pray to God that I didn't pass out or die...And, at 10 a.m. I am already feeling stiff and sore...which only leads me to believe that day #2 of the 30 Day Nightmare will be just as hard as day #1.

No matter how hard it gets I am determined to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
