The Before

Here is a picture of the before.

Here I am at lets say 155 cause I don't have scale and the only time I can use one is at my parents house. If I measured right the hip is 33 1/2 the waist is 40 1/2 . The plan is to lose any where from 30 to 40 pounds by the end of the year. Which will put me back at the weight I was when I met Brian. According to the wii fit I should weigh around 116. I don't know how true that is but whatever. So i'll try and keep you updated on how the progress is going. As for today I feel pretty skinny and it feels great.

Update

Emma and Channing have gotten so big over the last few months. Emma is on her way to being a big girl by using the toilet, going to sleep on her own and she is even learning the months. She already now January. Channing is teething and trying to roll over. My girls are getting big fast. I was going threw pictures the other night and I saw some of Emma just last June and if you look at her today you can so tell how big she has gotten. Same goes for Channing if you look at her new born pictures and ones that we have taken today you can tell how big she has gotten to. pretty soon my girls wont be babies at all.

Well as for Brian and I. Brian is working hard on getting at least one appointment a week for world financial group. So wfg and his regular job keeps him busy. As for me I'm working on losing weight and making sure the girls have everything that they need. I have thought alot about doing some online classes I just don't know where to began or go to do what I want. Well that is what we have been up to. We are having fun do it to.

Christmas time and the new year.

I know that Christmas has come and gone but I still have this to say about this time of the year. At the beginning of December we put up the tree at my parents house. It wasn't until the week before Christmas that it got decorated and before that happened it didn't quit feel like Christmas. The day that it was decorated we turned on the lights and I sat there looking at and feeling like the season had just began. The holiday season (for me) is the best time of the year. Not because of the presents or the insane amount of food that we eat, but because of the meaning of it. Christ was born on Christmas. For me it's a time to reflect on everything. I love how the air just seems to beam with miracles and the feeling like anything can happen.

Now that the new year has come, it's time to try and reach the goals that we have set for us. My goals this year are going to be simple. Things that I know I can do, cause lets be honest if they aren't simple we would never achieve them. So my goals are 1. that I will serve more people 2. that I will play with my kids and have the best time doing 3. that I will spend time with just my husband and kids no every once in a while 4. That I will take better care of myself 5. that I will be there for my friends and family when needed (but not over do it) 6. That I will do everything in my power to take care of my family 7. That I will try hard to work at my calling 8. that no matter what happens I will be happy and look at the positive out come in life. I know that looking at this it seems like a lot of things, but they are small and I know that I can do it. It might not be easy with kids but I will do it. Have a great new year.
