By the way....
Oh yeah i started a new blog just for my photography stuff to better display my work. Take a look. www.sbphotodesign.blogspot.com
Erin and Bri
I took some test shots of Erin and her daughter Bri. Erin rarely makes an appearance on camera due to the fact that she's usually the one behind it :o) So before the previous baby photo session I made them both sit for me while I tested the light. Here's the result.
And my favorite of all poses by Bri, the psychotic pirate!
Makes me laugh everytime ;o)

A complete 180
I realized a few weeks back, after my brief stint in the hospital, that I needed to make some serious changes. So I made an appointment with my doctor and the health coach. I stepped on the scale and maxed it out. They had to add extra weights on the end and i had to help the nurse figure my own weight out. And so it was I started out last month at the heaviest I've ever been: 360 lbs.
At first, It was a bit tough to deal with the fact that I had let my weight go out of control. I had quit taking my thyroid medication during my whole employer/insurance change. But I am determined to change. I managed to start making little changes; cut my portions, parked a little further out in the parking lot, eating less more often so that I wasn't hungry all the time. When i do slip up I realize it's not the end of the world. Yes i might have had something i shouldn't have but it's still better than not trying at all and I can still make the rest of my choices good ones.
To date I've lost 8 lbs in four weeks. I was waiting for calls at work and started thinking about my goal weight of 180lbs. I laughed when i realized figuratively and literally I was going to have to do a complete 180. I've decided that for a little extra support for myself I'm going to try to keep my momentum going by blogging a bit about what i have a feeling is going to be a pain in the butt, but all too worth it, struggle.
Anyhow, I'm headed to bed tonight. Check back in tomorrow.
P.S. Hopefully I can be one sassy hippo through this!
