Mommy & Me Shoot

In September, a friend from high school came down for our 10 year HS reunion (yes, I am getting that old) from Arizona. He happens to be a professional photographer and he happens to be amazing at it. I could not pass up the opportunity to have a family shoot with him. Unfortunately, Randy happened to get sick that very morning! so it ended up being a Mommy & Me shoot instead! This actually worked out perfect, being behind the camera 95% of the time, I rarely have any pictures of Hailey & myself.

So without further a do, here are the photos courtesy of Larry Reeves Photography

Hailey's 1st Birthday Photos!

The Pro pics are finally here. I wish I could post them all but there are too many to upload! Enjoy!!

Operation Shred: Below Pre-Pregnancy Weight!!

Drum roll please........ 15.6 pounds!!! In less than 2 months!! I can now say that I am 1 pound below my pre-pregnancy weight with Hailey. Now, I must add, that I was about 13 pounds heavier than usual at that time but hey its progress right?

I am 17 pounds away from where I started before I was pregnant the first time (I am adding 4 pounds for fluctuation purposes since us women have the luxury of this wonderful, wonderful thing). I consider that my goal. When I look at the fact that I have 17 pounds to go it seems so far away! But I CAN do this!!

And I just have to AW myself that this is the longest I have ever stuck with a weight loss program. The longest before was 6 weeks. Yea, I usually suck at this (hence my notorious big ass).

Sadly, I have not done The 30 Day Shred for 2 weeks. Good thing I am still losing weight in the meantime. To be honest, I tried level 2 and hated it. It's just not very much fun and I spent most of the time trying to figure out the move than actually working the muscles! Although this cannot be an excuse. I plan to jump back on this wagon soon. Since it's been so long, I will start with Level 1 again.

So here's to another successful week! Cheers!

Operation Shred Update

This is actually going very well. For myself and Randy. I lost 3lbs the first week, and actually gained 0.4 this past week. I am trying to not let that discourage me. I have been working out which includes strength training so I am chalking it up to that so I do not get discouraged!

It's great having a partner to do this with! A friend of mine, Amie, has come over to do the Shred workout with us as well. My friend Autum comes with me to Weight Watcher meetings. Randy and I always Shred together. It's a great support system.

I still have a long way to go but I am hoping I can meet my goal without losing track or getting off course.

Father's Day 2009

Randy's first Father's Day was spent fishing at "The Secret Fishing Hole" down in Newport Beach in the Balboa Bay area. This is a spot his family has been fishing at for years. It's located in the residential area and is pretty peaceful and quiet.

This was Hailey's first time at the beach. Although technically the Bay. The water is not fit for swimming so she did not experience that yet. We will have to visit the ocean side eventually.

It was a relaxing day. Hailey's Nana & Papa joined us. Also her Uncle Adam. I have to say she held up pretty well for skipping her nap. She didn't even sleep in the car (Uncle Adam was very entertaining on the trip down!).

We finished off our day by having dinner at Grandpa Wiesman's house to celebrate Father's day with him as well. Hailey conked out early and is still sleeping peacefully as I type!

Here are some photos from the fishing trip!

The cuteness is just overwhelming!

It's that camera again!
