Well...here is an update on my workout-weightloss attempts. I haven't been able to do the Jillian Michaels workout the past few days as I did something to my knees and they make it difficult to walk at times, I can't even imagine working out. But I am sticking with the calorie counting and I've lost about 5 pounds in 2 weeks. That isn't huge, but it is still pretty good for me. I can feel a difference already. I just hope it becomes noticeable to everyone else soon.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. Wish me luck as I battle with all the horribly delicious foods that Thanksgiving has all around. I LOVE PIE...PLEASE HELP ME RESIST!! :)
Happy Holidays everyone.

Analise now has earrings
Analise has been asking for weeks and weeks about earrings. Especially when I am wearing them or when someone we know is.
She is the ultimate girl!! She loves everything girly including makeup and earrings. So, we decided to go ahead and let her get them pierced. They look so cute!
And she did great. She cried at first once they did it, but then she looked in the mirror and saw her pretty earrings and was so happy. She has loved showing them off to everyone we know. Can't wait until we get to change them and start her collection of cute earrings!
Here are some pictures of her getting them done.
Being silly while waiting.
Getting her ears cleaned for it. She thought it was funny and cold!
Getting them done. such a brave little girl.
Afterward still in the store. Such happy girl!
Showing them off for Daddy.
See, Daddy? :)
And showing them to Mommy.

Halloween
Like I mentioned in my last blog...I'm a few behind! So, here is my update about Halloween.
On the Friday before Halloween we had a party at Katie's house with several friends. The kids, and some of the adults dressed up and we played games, trick or treated around the yard and ate dinner. It was so much fun...and I think the kids had a good time too.
Then on Halloween night, we took the kids trick or treating around to family homes. We have so much family here and they get so much candy from them, there really isn't a huge need to go anywhere else. And of course, we stopped at the Hammond's house and at the Lindberg's. But who are we kidding, they are just like family to us.
Here are some pictures of the kids from Halloween. It was so fun this year, I imagine next year will be even better!

Setting Goals
I have several blogs to catch up on, but that will have to be for another day. For today, I wanted to let everyone who reads this know that I have a goal. I don't have a set number of pounds that I want to lose yet, but I know that I want to lose weight. And, I want to tone up and get into better shape.
Ideally, I would just love to get down into single digit pants again!! But mostly, I just want to have more energy to play with my kids whose energy level seems to grow exponentially by the day. And I want to feel better about myself. Right now, I just don't like how I look and it effects to much of my mental state somedays, so I want to look better so I can feel better about myself. I have so many people who love me tell me how beautiful I am...now I just want to feel that way too.
Thank you to those who have given me support so far. It helps like crazy!! But please, keep it coming.
I'm working on eating between 1200-1500 calories a day, closer to the 1200 mark but every once in a while a few more will be ok. And as of right now I'm doing Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred. It kills me!! But I always feel better after I do it.
Again, I'm begging for support because it is way to easy for me to say, oh...what's one candy bar? And that turns into pizza for dinner and ice cream. And, if I let myself slack a day on exercising it will be too easy for me to just slack daily. So, please keep checking in on me and make sure I'm sticking to it. And if I try to offer you an excuse as to why I'm not...kick my butt...please. :) Cause I'm sure it would help. I will let you know my progress as it goes. Thanks again everyone!
