summer reading party & finding healthy again!

We have been having lots of fun the past week!

We had the end-of-the-summer

readig program  party at the library:

 (That super cute big man in the blue & white

 is my cousin, Haedon!)

 Sara did such a good job sitting so still

until they called her name for her award!

Right before I got sick, I had gotten on a good kick of eating healthy, exercisng, and was feeling REALLY great about myself. I think I am to the point now where I've adjusted to my new life and am going to start getting back into everything. Cooking healthier meals, more water, and getting bac to "exercising". I use that term looselybecause, let's face it -- I can't do much. But everyone has to start somewhere, right? I miss my evening walks with my girls and doing exercise videos together. Watching them try to exercise is hilarious!

One blog I love reading is Mama Laughlin.

She's hilarious, she's gorgeous, and she has lost a LOT of weight

by eating healthy and working out....

without going to a fancy gym and buying fancy foods.

Because, I'll be honest with you --

I'll give up my fave foods for a while to get back to where I need to be,

but I ain't giving them up forever!

I AM from Alabama, honey!

I have a few things I want to write about...

including a picture of me, current da.

Short hair & all.

Because if Anne Hathaway can do it,

so can I.

I PROMISE I'll be back shortly this time.

Like, tomorrow.

I really do promise!

 Miss June Claire passed out...

when she finally gets still for 5 seconds,

she's out!
