I just updated all the photos up until yesterday. I'm happy to say that I've been able to keep up with my Daily Photo since the beginning of this year. It's easier when I tell myself it doesn't have to be perfect...just document the day to day stuff. I know I will be so thrilled to see this at the end of the year.

a brand new year
Happy New Year! Does anyone even follow this blog anymore?
Sorry...it's been a rough few months around here and haven't really had the urge to blog much.
For my WW friends, I did start another blog specifically about my weight loss journey. If you want to read it send me an email or leave a comment and I'll send over the link.
I also decided to give the photo a day project everyone is doing a try. So far they've all been iPhone photos, and they may stay that way. I added a little link on the right to the gallery if you want to take a peek. Just a little disclaimer...these are average, everyday photos of things going on in my life - so nothing fancy and not photoshopped.
Here's my image from today...

Are you still here?
If you still hang out here and check in on me...THANK YOU! I'm hoping to start back up and give this space some attention. I'm making some changes to the blog and fancying things up a little. It's time for some little changes.
Stay tuned and thanks for being here!
Oh...and because lately this is all we seem to do...here's a pic of my up and coming soccer pro (who happens to be really pissed about the fact that girls can't play in the World Cup)...

keepin' it real
you know it was a good boot camp workout when you can barely drive home from the gym. this is me a few minutes after the workout. it takes a good 30 minutes for the redness to go away. it takes about the same for the frown to turn upside down.
actually...i'm smiling on the inside. i've been to the gym every day this week except this past weekend.
i'm on a roll! and that feels pretty good.

pink is the new pink
happy october!
as most of you already know, october is breast cancer awareness month. there's a flurry of pink all over the internet and on tv. i had to run to sam's club this morning and the entire front of their store is lined with pink products and products with special breast cancer packaging. i thought that was pretty cool. they even had a bin with a bunch of pink roses for $6 - super deal.
we are all signed up and ready to walk the susan g. komen race for the cure next weekend in honor of my mom. so of course we have to shop for some fun pink accessories for our group. i know she'd like that. this race will always remind me of henry. we brought him home a year ago on this day.
speaking of henry...he was my helper this afternoon while i tried to get a decent photo of my pretty pink roses. here's my naughty little counter surfer...
ladies...have you felt them lately?

seeing
i had lasik surgery on friday. day 4 and things are going well. it feels like i need to unsharp mask* everything i see at this point, but it's getting better. i keep reaching up to adjust the glasses on my face and they aren't there. i feel like i'm missing a step in the morning when i'm getting ready - putting on my glasses before i walk out of the bathroom. that's going to take some getting used to.
i also feel a little naked without glasses on my face. it's a weird thing to not have them there to hide behind. i can see puffiness around my eyes and a few wrinkles that i ignored when my glasses were in the way. my hairdresser even mentioned maybe cutting bangs now that i don't have to deal with glasses. and wearing makeup might be fun again.
for now i tucked all of my frames and cases away in my nightstand. it's like a little piece of my shell has been cracked. this is definitely going to take some getting used to.
*it's a photography/photoshop term. it makes things sharp and a little more in focus. sometimes it's a photographer's best friend. :)

time flies
It's not that I forget I have this blog...it's just that I feel like I don't have a lot to say these days. i'm just doing my thing...and apparently it's pretty boring stuff. ww stuff. and not to be superstitious or anything..but every single time i've mentioned ww stuff on the blog my train derails. what is up with that? i really want to talk about it though...so i have to work this out (in my head, apparently).
so i started back to ww about 15 weeks ago. i'm .2 lbs away from 30 lbs lost. but if i factor in what i lost prior to falling off the wagon the last time i'm down 38 lbs. so...things are going really well for me lately. and i'm working hard every single day to keep it that way. it's a process, right?
john took this picture of me in san diego last month. i knew he was doing it and i was cringing inside thinking i really didn't want to see it. i am painfully aware of what i look like. but on a good day, i block that image and make my own self image (does anyone else do that??). and this is definitely not what i look like (in my mind). but...pictures don't lie, right? and so every single day i'm working hard to make changes. so one day the picture in my head matches the picture in my camera.
one step at a time, right?
