So I figured that I better get to posting seeing as I'm so far behind in the bloggin' world. And I go back to work on Wednesday, which means back to reality.
I swore this year that I would lose weight while I had the time off from work and would get stricter with my eating habits. I can't decide which is worse for me; the kind of food I enjoy (cheese, carbs, tortillas) or the amount of food I can consume. Every day I wake up wanting to be healthier and the morning and sometimes even the afternoon go quite well. Then I head to a volleyball
or softball game and I feel that by the time the day is over, I've earned the right to eat whatever and however much I want. It's a constant battle. I know I'm not alone out there but hanging out with my 2 gorgeous sisters makes me feel that way. I constantly refer to myself as the "fat sister" and although I make jokes of it, it is a very real feeling. I exercise regularly (thanks to the dogs) usually running about 2 miles after work and lovin' my Total Gym. Plus I play sports usually 4 to 5 weeknights and every other weekend during the summer. But it's just not enough. I'm hoping that by documenting my pitfalls in this area on here, that might make me second guess when I go to grab for a quesadilla.
As I'm struggling to self-teach myself photography, I find my dogs and husband are not always willing participants in my learning. So I have to set up the Canon 20D, the lights, the backdrop and pose for myself. And darn it, I'm tired of trying to stick my neck out so I don't see that double-chin. HAHA.
