Fitness Update!

It's been a busy time around here with working out and trying to get school started and getting projects completed for my etsy shop, something had to get pushed aside and the blog is what it was. But here is an update on my fitness progress and maybe I'll be able to come back and write regularly again!

So I have some progress to report but I really wish I had better results to share. I still workout with my trainer/friend but 3 days a week has been difficult with fall here because cold weather brings colds into the home and we don't want to share. However, I have another friend that works out with me on the nights I don't workout with her. So I'm proud to say I still am averaging 4 to 5 workouts a week!

Strength training is a big part of our workouts because muscle burns more calories, so building muscle is very helpful. The downside is that muscle weighs more than fat so that means I'm not seeing big changes on the scale. It was a bit frustrating for a while but now I'm starting to see changes in my body and trouble areas. I have bieceps that actually have definition, my belly fat is lifting and changing which is great because carrying babies sure does a number and your midsection!

My current struggle area is food. I haven't been eating as healthy as I should. It's just something I haven't felt like doing. But that's ok because part of my baby step goals is to add changes one at a time because it makes it easier. So first I did the workouts and I'm doing really well so I started adding in some healthy foods but this week I really plan to eat healthy foods that will help me reach my goals. I'm spliting a Bountiful Basket each week with a friend to get more fruits and veggies in the house. I love that it gives me healthier options at my fingertips.

So hopefully next time I update you on my progress it will be better results to share because I keep hearing once I get my food right things will really start to improve.

So wish me luck on my continued progress!

Holiday Traditions?

I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family.

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
