{Okay...}

This past year and a half has been a really rough.....I had finally gotten back into shape.....and then we tried getting pregnant again....and we did. :-) That was wonderful, but everything else that was happening in our lives was not. So of course since I am and emotional eater.....I did not keep my resolve to not gain a lot of weight during my pregnancy or to continue working out. I had my little sister's wedding to be in in August....I thought I would have plenty of time to get back into shape by then.....but as the turmoil continued in my life....I didn't do it. We also move from North Carolina to Washington in between that time. We were staying with my parents while we were looking for a place to rent here.
I haven't really been taking pictures of myself because I don't like the way I look. Sometimes it's not too bad.....but then I remember how I looked the summer before.....when I was in shape. Christmas Eve I finally got somewhat of a decent picture of Tommy & me....it's the one of us on the left. I realized that I not only had let myself go farther than I ever wanted to go again.....but that all I have to do is take one step forward, and I really can get back to where I'd like to be.
I don't want to say that I want to loose 'X' amount of weight.....or get back into my jeans.....or the many many clothes that I have in my huge closet that don't fit me anymore.....what I really want to be in shape again.....I felt good....good emotionally....good about myself....
I love the Pin Up style......I fell in love with it a few years ago.....SO I want to find that inner Pin Up in me....I know she's in there.....I've seen her before......and I know that as I take one step at a time I will see her again!

This is my journey to a better life style and to feeling better about myself! :-)
