Home sick

I came home sick from work so I figured I'd take the time to update a bit.

A couple of months ago my schedule was switched and I had to work eight days straight. An eighty hour period in eight days. It was rough. Now that I am switching back to my normal schedule I will get six days off. And this weekend the husband and I have pretty big plans. Saturday is catching up on family time and Sunday him and I are hitting the road nice and early and heading north to the NASCAR Race. It's an early anniversary present and he couldn't be more excited. I'm pretty excited too. A whole day with him. We are going to stop at my favorite coffee spot on the way up and get ourselves nice big cups of coffee and have wonderful conversation. Something that is hard to come by with a three year old.

But duh! Before that is Halloween. Our little miss is going to be a pirate. I normally make her costume but this year I just got busy. And she really wanted to be a pirate, so I caved.  Since we are new here I'm not sure where we are going to trick or treat. We might meet up with friends.

My photography is going pretty well. I'm in the process of making it legit. Taxes. Paperwork. The shebang. I love taking pictures. It's a happy place and I love seeing the faces of my models when they see them. I'm hoping to eventually have a space that I can use as a studio when I expand later on down the road.

Weight loss is also going really well. I am about to hit the 20 pounds lost mark and I'm way too excited. The gym has also become a happy place for me. I love to sweat now. It's relaxing. I wish I would have made the change a lot time ago. I'd be bangin right now. Haha. I want to be healthy for our next baby. I think a lot of the problems I had before will be eliminated because my weight will be down. And I won't be stuffing my face with hot wings and other bad food. I'm so excited to see where I am at the end of this year. And this time next year. I WILL be the thin/in shape mom who can keep up with her kids and still turns the heads of others. I have a few little things motivating me. But I'll keep those to myself.

Public weightloss update

I am about five weeks into this journey. I have never made it this long. So I'm pretty proud of that.
But here's what I'm most excited about.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE......



I have lost 15.4 pounds in the last five weeks. That's a lot in just a little over a month. *Does a happy dance*
It keeps me going knowing that I'm changing so fast. But I know the dreaded plateau is coming.
