August 2- August 3, 2012. 

I can't believe it has been a year already. Still missing you as much today as I did a year ago. Sweet sleeping baby. So many hugs and kisses for you Sweet Livy. 

We celebrate you and how you have changed our lives. 

Celebrating all things pink and girly

Your Oma and Auntie Dedhra

Your Mommy

Your cake that your Mommy made you. 

Still at it

Just wanted to update on my progress. I'm down 111lbs:). Stronger than I've ever been before. I'm able to do some exercises without modifications:). I've signed us up to the local rec center and now we can go swimming whenever we want and Chris and I can go to the gym now:). I've started strength training now that I've hit the 100 lbs mark. One of my other goals is to be able to do pull ups. Gotta bulk up my arms to do that! LOL

Still doing my running training program. They are def getting tougher but that's good b/c I like a challenge. Sometimes they are tough though. Haha. 

This is me after two sessions at the gym...wonder how I will look after a month or two...super excited to see!! I do the machines 3 times a week and more when the kids are in the day camp. 

Big News!!

I'm down 100 pounds!!!!! Wow!! Plus I've increased my speed during my runs also!!! Yay!!!

So many changes

So July 2nd marked my 5th month of my lifestyle change:) I was down 92lbs and can run a 5km no problem! So happy with the positive changes I've made in my life:)

Almost done run clinic

I'm almost done my 6 week run clinic. Just one class left:( On Wednesday night we do our fun run. It will be timed. I'm guessing I will do the 5 km run in under 45 minutes. Hope so anyways!! LOL

My gift for 80 lbs down

Hit the 80 lbs down mark!! Rewarded myself with a nice new watch:)

It cost $160 brand new but I only paid $7.50:) Yay for gift cards

 

75 mark

Last Tuesday I hit the 75 lb mark!! Yay!!! Now I'm not so obsessed with the amount of weight I've lost. I'm concentrating on other aspects of my new lifestyle. I'm working out so hard lately and am very proud of how far I have come. I'm fitting into sizes I haven't seen in so many years:) 

Looking forward to what summer has in store for me:):)

I've started running and really like it. I've now done 2 5km plus runs in 3 days!!
