THROW THE SCALE AWAY LADIES!!!

OK so this past weekend I had a revelation! WHAT THE SCALE SAYS IS NOT THE BE ALL AND END ALL!!! This is how I came to this revelation:
I have very faithfully been doing yoga booty ballet for three weeks now, at least 5 days per week. Since I started this exercise program, I have only lost 3 pounds off of the scale. However, I have lost OVER 10 INCHES on my body (from chest, waist, hip and thigh measurements), gone down a shirt size and almost an entire pant size. I look much trimmer in the mirror to the point where everyone has noticed! However, the scale shows only a 3 pound difference which you wouldn't think is much of anything. So, I have come to the conclusion that it is how clothes fit and inches lost is a much better estimate of how one is doing on a weight loss program! So, to ALL the women out there, if the scale doesn't seem to be budging, don't be discouraged because you are more than likely succeeding at changing inside and out whether the scale says you are or not!

Wednesday September 13th!! :)

Wednesday September 13th marks the 6 year anniversary of the day Steve and I officially became a couple. Steve I love you so much and can't describe in words how happy you make me. Thank you for always loving me wholeheartedly without reservation and for being there for me and supporting me always. I am the luckiest woman alive to have you as my husband and I can't believe our 1 year wedding anniversary is less than a month away! Yay for our weekend in Traverse City! :) I love you so much and I thank God for you every single day :)

We will miss you and you will NEVER be forgotten!!

Goodbye Steve Irwin... :(

My weekend in NY was wonderful. Very relaxing and good time spent with the family I love dearly and miss a lot. Steve, my mom and I were also able to go to SeaBreeze amusement park which was a lot of fun. My parents used to take me there when I was little so it is a place full of fun memories, as well as one of the top wooden coasters in the country, the Jack Rabbit (which we rode twice) :)

During my weekend I was shocked and incredibly saddened to hear of the death of Steve Irwin. I still cannot believe he is gone. I have watched so many of his shows as well as the Croc Hunter movie, all of which were a joy to watch. I want to pay tribute to a man that although seemed quite crazy at times, devoted his life to teaching children and adults alike about numerous animal species and the importance of conservation in a way that was sure to get people's attention. He did so much good for so many animals and his legacy will live on forever. May God be with his family and friends, particularly his wife and children. My heart goes out to them.

Off to good ol' Rochacha

Well I've got less than 1 more hour at work and then I'm off to Rochester for the weekend to see the family and Jack :) I'm so excited, it will be great to get away for a little bit. I'll try to post while I'm there but if not I'll post another update when I get back on Tuesday. Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!! :)
