Many of you have asked why I haven't been posting as much lately and in a nutshell, without going into too many details, here is why:
1. I've been mother frickin' SLAMMED with work. (Photography) and I LOVE IT! But I'm busting my ass trying to get these sessions out quickly because I know my work load is about to blow up in the coming months. The sessions I have scheduled along with fall/Christmas sessions AND the weddings I have in coming weeks are keeping me seriously busy. I love it. I love working with each family/couple/senior/child etc. I. LOVE. MY. JOB! But with my ADD, its difficult to stay on task. I get side tracked so I've been gluing myself to photoshop getting these sessions cranked out before I get distracted so I've stayed off the internet (aside from my phone or facebook in between files loading)
2. I'm looking for a Monday-Friday 9-5ish job! Nothing is going wrong with photography, I'm doing fine there but strictly for health insurance purposes. I NEED HEALTH INSURANCE! I have a few medical conditions that I have to get checked out and I hear if you don't have insurance by next year, you'll get fined or some crap... just what I need... Thanks a lot Obama.
3. I've been broke as a joke. Ain't no lie. My washer broke TWICE and I had to get it fixed and a few other financial hiccups and its just been a crazy 2 weeks... I couldn't afford to really buy completely clean so I was having to work hard to figure out how I can eat along with still allowing my kids to eat the things they love and need... its been tough... this week is looking up though, I'm going grocery shopping today and I'm actually excited about it!
The key is sticking with it. Yes, I have fallen short this past week/week and a half but I'm getting right back up there and starting again. I have drank my water like I was supposed to and I've been trying to make good choices with what I have available... I think I'm doing good and I'm proud of myself. Just because I have a little bump in the road doesn't mean I'm going to give up. I'm still determined to make this my life. Its literally all I think about and last week when I was forced to eat a grilled cheese because that was literally all I had in my house, I ate it (on whole grain bread) and made myself understand that you gotta do what you gotta do but as long as you keep on trying, you still win. I'm proud of myself. Despite the not so good choices and the back sliding a little, I'm proud that I knew I was going to get up and dust myself off and keep going. :)
I lost 5 more lbs just so you know. :) I'm down 29lbs total! :) Sure, that could be "water weight" or whatever but I wore pants I wasn't able to fit in this time last year to the wedding I shot on Saturday! Boo-Ya! :)
Exercise
Healthy Choices
Water
Eating several times a day
Having and keeping a positive attitude.
That's my life. And I'm proud of it! <3
Have A Healthy Day! <3

Back sliding happens, and it will happen again, its just how life goes. But you are right.... as long as you keep trying your still headed in the right direction!! This is the rest of your life....forgive yourself for a tough week here and there. A few bad weeks out of the year isnt going to mess all your progress up. AND..... I hear people say "oh, the first 15-30 lbs is just water weight.... WHATEVER! It's still weight thats gone!!!! So, WAY TO GO!!!! The next 20-30 WILL be the hardest to drop, but once you work through it, you will be amazed at how your body begins to recognize what you are doing, and the weight drops off like melted butter on a hot Georgia day!! That's the best part..... Your sooooo close! Keep up the good work! Your amazing!
