A Little Bit of This ....and A Little Bit of That: Beauty in the world.....

I dare say that Spring is here. I know, that is risky where I live because things could turn in a heartbeat. However, in this moment, it is absolutely beautiful! Warm, sunny, springy. Lovely.

I have been a little inconsistent with my blogging lately. Life has been so busy(as usual) and I sometimes can't sit down to type!! :)

Things have been going SO well though. I have lost more than 40 pounds now. I have the nutrition part down pretty well and really don't have a problem with the healthy eating. I have been working out really hard lately,too, trying to take my fitness\weight loss to the next level. I am challenging myself physically whenever I can. Running hills, extending my workouts, pushing it a little harder. Once you lose a good bit of weight, you have to work extra hard to keep getting results. I am really focused on that right now. I need to really start doing more weight training.....and I will. Just need to make the time!

Mothers Day was absolutely perfect this year. We went to our "hippie church" and listened to a beautiful message on women, motherhood, forgiveness. As always, it was very impactful and enlightening. Then we went to brunch at one of our favorite restaurants with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Misti, Matt, Addie, Grace and my Aunt Bev and cousin Emily. The food was wonderful, as it always is. Since we were in Lake Geneva, we took the kids' down to the beach to play in the sand a bit and I took a lot of pictures!
