Dream in Green

I wish I had a good reason to buy a clutch right now, 

because this is ABSOLUTELY the one I would get!

The color is timeless. The size is perfect for fitting everything I could need.

I hope you have a reason to get this so I can enjoy seeing others walking around with it.

here is where you can find it

I'mmmm Baccckkkkk.

NYE 2011

OH & I almost forgot...

here's an update to my post in October:::

I have officially past my 10lb mark & am working toward my next goal weight! 

Took abut 3 months, but I did it! 

If you don't have a treadmill in your house...go get one. 

It's worth every penny!

I'm forced to look at mine every time I walk into the room.

serious motivation!!!

I haven't bought my vibram shoes yet, but they're on my list. so excited!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful first week of 2012!!!

It's a bit of a joke at our house, my exercise routine. Let me explain before the assumptions begin...

I love to run. It's something that in a short time I can get pretty good at. At one point I was running six miles a day. It was the best I have ever felt! The issue, as it is for most women I talk to, is sticking with it for longer than a few months at a time. The joke, as I mentioned, is that my husband who works out at 4am almost every single day, still can't believe how even after the treadmill and I aren't on good terms [aka It is covered in dust and I avoid the room it is in at all costs] I can somehow manage to jump back on and it's as if I barely took time off.

Here is where I am going with all of this:::
In my third trimester I was too swollen and uncomfortable to get on my treadmill. I couldnt even fit my feet into my running shoes. No, really...you should have seen me...but any pictures of me were put under lock and key never to be seen again [laugh, but it's true]

I was cleared to start running again about 8 weeks post C's birth. I was about to go back to work, but made it my priority to get on the treadmill everyday.

Then I started at work again. Ugh. Between daycare runs, grocery store runs, being involved in three social groups here in Dallas/Fort worth and getting some sort of rest...my treadmill and I stopped seeing each other.

One month later...Today marks a new day. Today we meet again! I can't wait! My pre-pregnancy jeans [that fit, but are tight] shall fit again! The hubby is picking up our little munchkin and I am headed home to get on the treadmill.

Hello, Old Friend! I am
So looking forward to our time together! :)
