The Stary Life: Random

Thats pretty much this post.

Nothing exciting has been going on. Its been a busy weekend, and Tim was asleep at 8pm last night....I think DST is getting to him ;) I stayed up for a few more hours and caught up on the DVR. It was a needed break.

Saturday AT & I headed out to a bday party, and then when I got home I helped Tim finish cleaning up the boat. We are in winterizing mode. Its time to clean it up and store it till the spring. I already miss our rides and our swims but I know there is always next year and for now I have views such as this out my back door.

No joke its our back yard and what I see when I look out my kitchen window, I was so thrilled Sylvia was able to get this shot down there. Its just gorgeous right now.

Sunday we headed to Charlotte to see that Panthers play....or should I say lose? We were able to snag a table inside where we could see the game and just hang out in the warmth. It was a nice time just catching up and enjoying good friends. Now I can mark an NFL game off my list of "maybe one day".

The past few weeks Ive been good at getting to the basement and getting on the treadmill. I looked at the calendar and really since the last time I weighed 12 days ago Im down almost 4 lbs. Small changes are the key, and taking it slow and steady. Ive found a few good books and it makes the time go by so much faster. AT has a change of scenery down there with me and enjoys th 30 to 40 mins of running around. If he gets bored he just heads upstairs to hang out with Tim. Its really been nice. Ive noticed my sweet cravings are better. Im allowing myself a little of something but not a whole dessert. That really makes a diff. I have a few things coming up this week that I need to prepare for when it comes to food so Im hoping I can stay grounded. I did end up finding a little journal to track my food....now I just need to take advantage of it when I feel a bad day coming on. I can do this....and I can do it through the holidays. Im where I was this time last year....I cant punish myself or be too happy about it. Lets just say I was lucky to maintain for a year. Thats progress in my life.

Here are the rest of the pics from our photo shoot last week. These are my faves. I didnt get nearly as many with AT looking at the camera as I had hoped but my goal was family shots and I def got those.
