The sun is shining!

Spring is flying by and the kids are soon to wrap up their school year. Cam decided this year not to play baseball and Lexi is playing competitve softball for the first time. Softball season is here and most of my time is spent watching her play, we have a Tournament almost every weekend in June.

I've been consistent about my daily workouts and getting to the gym. Fitness has now become a daily part of my routine. I am hoping Cam decides to follow my lead and join me this summer.

I am excited about the arrival of my "dream" camera on Friday, I sold my trusty Canon 50D and some older lenses I do not use to fund my new camera the Canon Mark III. I cannot wait to play. Lexi has promised me a photo shoot so we shall see how it goes.

I think it will be time for me to start a Project 365 again..

Keep on truckin!

I am so proud of myself for being consistent about going to the gym and monitoring my nutrition. All this hard work is paying off. I have lost about 10 pounds and many inches, most noticable in my upper body right now. I am starting to weight train 4 days a week and doing cardio 5 days. I feel amazing! My trainer is so motivating and pushes me when I feel like I've done enough.

Tonight is sew club with the girls then Tom and I are going out to listen to some music with friends. He is taking some guitar lessons and his teacher has a CD release party tonight. Should be fun.

As time flies by...

I cannot believe we are in the middle of February already! The last few weeks seem just a blur of activity. Lexi turned 10yrs old and she celebrated her birthday with a group of girlfriends, shopping at the mall and having a sleepover. It was fun and exhausting. 

We are in the process of doing some home renovations. Painting, removing carpet and installing wood floors. I've been really drawn to dark woods lately, Pininterest has been such a source of inspiration. Tom is doing his office first. I will be relocating my studio/sewing space to a larger room. Yipee!!

Heading to the Portland Modern Quilt Guild meeting tonight. Should be fun!

2 weeks of success

YES! Results at last. 2 weeks into my training program, 6lbs down and 3% body fat gone. Goodbye fat!! I am so motivated to continue.

Here's to a healthier and leaner me.

I am a week into my new program at the gym. I am fed up of sweating my ass off and not seeing any results. So, I hired a personal trainer. It has been an eye opening experience. I am now eating every 2-3 hours, drinking 96oz of water daily, having protein every time I eat. 40minutes of cardio, not a struggle as I love doing classes anyway. Zumba and Turbo kickboxing are my favorites. I will work out with my trainer 2x a week till I reach my goal which she estimates will be about 12 weeks or so. So far so good, hopefully I can stick with this for the long haul. Goodbye body fat! 

Today I realized that I am not really hungry when I eat more often. In the past I would tend to skip breakfast except for coffee and would not eat often for 4-5 hours then I would be so hungry I would over-eat whatever I could get my hands on. 

I am really excited and motivated about my health, it's been too long.
