Tah-Dah! Some fun for the littlest this past summer. Mud is some fun stuff.
Like my "Strong Is The New Skinny" picture, this one is an inspiration. I'll curve like that again!
I have 14 pics in my gallery

"Assume the attitude of prayer, and in time the attitude becomes the prayer."
I'm a 30 year old mother of three and my first weigh-in was 275 lbs. That was November 2011. When I first went through and set up my introduction text I had no idea how finding this site would impact my life.
More has changed than just the scale. The contents of my kitchen are unrecognisable, my husband and kids complain that I never have anything to 'snack on" in the house now, and I'm more likely to buy low calorie, whole grain bagels and low fat cream cheese than cookies, ...
I'm a 30 year old mother of three and my first weigh-in was 275 lbs. That was November 2011. When I first went through and set up my introduction text I had no idea how finding this site would impact my life.
More has changed than just the scale. The contents of my kitchen are unrecognisable, my husband and kids complain that I never have anything to 'snack on" in the house now, and I'm more likely to buy low calorie, whole grain bagels and low fat cream cheese than cookies, crackers, ding dongs, or candy even if I go to the grocery store hungry. I'm slowly changing everything I do. I'm even keeping my kitchen cleaner so there's no mess between me and the making of a healthy meal.
At first, I just wanted to lose some weight and be done with it. Now I can see the life I used to live when I was fit and healthy as something attainable and I'm beginning to live there now, not in some nebulous future, now. We go to the park just to throw balls and a Frisbee around, we all pack up and walk around the block just to walk, and even though my kids still complain about a lack of 'snack foods,' they're gobbling the fruit and veggies I keep on hand faster than I can restock the fridge.
If these are the changes two months have made, I'm excited to see what the New Year will bring.

It's February; and again, I'm reminded of how far I've come. I am doing things I've literally not done in a decade, and I'm enjoying them. My new motto for February, "Assume the attitude of prayer, and in time the attitude becomes the prayer."
I'm done waiting for the things I loved to come back, this month I'm going in search of them instead!

It's now March, and my motto for February has served me well. I'm going to continue with it through March. "Assume the attitude of prayer, and in time the attitude becomes the prayer."
Rather than sit and wait for my life to happen to me, I have a conscious effort to reclaim the things I loved when I was thin and to seek out new passions. I succeeded. I can't wait to see what I'll discover in March!
