Weightloss Update...

50 lbs lost and 25 inches!!! I look at the pictures and I can't believe how much better I feel about myself. I feel a little taller, more confident, and I carry myself so differently. I am so glad that I finally decided to break this barrier.

For so long I didn't worry about it. I made excuses, I told myself that fat girls were so much happier than skinny girls. I then realized that I wanted to be healthy. I wanted to run after my kids and play with them. I don't get winded anymore. I can chase them around and it is such a great feeling. I don't carry that distended feeling in my stomach anymore. I don't have swelling in my ankles. I can move and dance, and play football.....and most of all I am happy with myself.

I am a work in progress...I have 30 more pounds to lose and a few more goals that I am setting for myself. This package may not be perfect, but it's pretty darn good. :)

Kindergarten

Finally!! Carly started kindergarten today. She was hoping to start last year but she missed the cut off by 8 days (lame). She was so ready to go. She is getting to be such a big girl. :)

Mommy and my princess.

The kids' school is really cool. They have giant pencils as columns.

Beautiful girl. :)

She was really so excited for school.

Here she is at her desk. It will be weird not having her at home. She is my little mess maker though, so it will be really nice to have a clean house for a few hours. Carly, we LOVE you!!
