Reclaiming "Me."

I'm not exactly sure when I "decided" to reclaim my body, maybe sometime in  March?  But, since then I've been eating better, and eating less, and exercising more. Walking on my breaks at work, and adding elliptical at night along with some weight lifting.  Fast forward to Tuesday, and I'm down 11 pounds.  My goal is 20 pounds total, so, halfway there.  I can see, and feel a difference.  Even John has noticed.  Just being able to see the change, is very motivating to keep going.   My goal is based purely on vanity - I want to wear a bikini again, and I want to wear it well.

Exercising has given me another "me" time.  Scrapbooking is a creative escape, exercise is a stress reliever.

We're getting back into the swing of spring/summer schedules again.  Tee-ball for Alexa, softball for me, visiting the cottages on the weekends when we can, looking forward to school being out.

In a couple of days the ASD May kit will go live, and it has one of my favorite scrapping items included in the "bigger than a breadbox kit" - Glimmer Mist.  Even in a color I didn't have! 

Hopefully it will stop raining and dry out here soon, it's been raining bucket and the girls have been a bit cooped up inside after school.
