Losing it

Since I'm the one who usually takes the pictures around here most of our pictures are of the girls. Not to many pictures of me actually make it on to the blog. So if you haven't seen me in awhile you might be surprised by this post. A little over 6 months ago I started going to Weight Watchers again. I had gone 6 years ago with great success but had to stop when I got pregnant with Jena. Here I am during our trip to Disney in April.

Last week I hit 31 pounds lost! It was a long, slow and difficult process. I've gotten better at portion control and impulse control. I'm even exercising again. I even do Yoga now on the Wii Fit Roger bought for Christmas last year. It is so helpful to go to my meeting each week and talk to people dealing with this as well. I haven't reached my goal yet, but this is what I look like now:

You might wonder why I pick 31 lbs to celebrate. Well, if you want to know what 31 lbs looks like here it is:


Jena weighs 31 lbs, so I've lost the equivalent of Jena.

Happy Halloween

Sorry this is a bit late but we have been enjoying fall here in NC!

Jena was Cinderella this year.

Lily was a pirate. This is the only picture I got of her in her costume, she wasn't a fan of dressing up that day.

Here is Jena with her friend Maci. Maci and her brother, Zander, went Trick or Treating with us this year. Lots of candy to be had and lots of fun. Lily even got into it!
