Here are a few photos from New Orleans.  Since I’ve been home I’ve been inandated with work.  I haven’t had much time for anything!

I hope everything is well with all of you guys and that your Christmas season is coming to an end.  I know I need a break!

On the PLUS side of things……  A lot of you know if you’ve been reading my facebook my husband was offered a job the other day back in the field he’s used to working in.  It’s been a year and a half that he was laid off of his job from of 10 years.  He’s meeting with the boss today to talk about everything but my husband and I are incredibly excited because he will have paid vacation, a company truck that pays for his gasoline, sick leave and health insurance.  We haven’t had any of that and it’s been very rough!

Also, on the weight loss topic.  I have been working literally my butt off!  haha  Seriously, I’m almost at -20 pounds.  I’ve been very frustrated b/c my goal was to have 20 pounds off by tomorrow but I don’t know if I will make it. As of two days ago I was -18 pounds.  I have been working out almost every single day for a minimum of 45 minutes up to 75 minutes. We have a exercise bike and a treadmill.

A fitness gal, Wendie Pett, who I photographed not to long ago that I’ve also become friends with.  We talked yesterday on the phone and I told her about my progress and was telling her I was frustrated but she told me I was doing more than good at the rate of losing weight.  I started October 5th and tomorrow it will be 2 months. Hopefully, tomorrow when I get on the scale it will be -20!!

Since, I’ve been doing all of this the confidence that has always been shoved way deep down is finally emerging.  I’m having more confidence in myself and I can’t wait till my jeans are too big and I can go shopping.  And if you know me.  I absolutely hate shopping. I’ve despised it for years.  When you are a bigger person it’s very hard to feel good about oneself especially when you see all these awesome clothes out there and you know you’d look terrible in them.

As promised, here’s a photo of me in New Orleans.  I was at -15 that weekend. Normally, I’d completely say absolutely no photos of me but with this new confidence I was just messing around with Renee when she took this photo of me by giving her a funny look.
