My new bikini body

Not exactly what I was going for! About 3 days into my Jillian Michaels transformation I found out I was pregnant. I was so thankful, both to be pregnant and to get a reprieve from Ms. Michaels. So as you can see, I was a little more white whale than Victoria's Secret model. I still wore the bikini on the secluded beaches because, well I had spent the money and I loved it and I don't know anyone in Hawaii. Sharing it here takes a bit more courage, but most of my readers are my friends who are moms themselves so I figured I am among friends :)

Hawaii tomorrow

We leave for Hawaii tomorrow at 11am. I am so excited. I'll have plenty of pictures and fun to share when we get back!

Mixed Review

I just read this book

and I'm not sure how I feel about it. They do have some good ideas, but they are pretty extreme. I have read a lot of research regarding healthy eating. I agree completely with the idea of reading all ingredients and knowing what you are putting into your body. I don't agree, however, that eating animal products equals eating poison. I feel that organic meats and dairy have their place in a balanced diet.

I recommend this book for a new perspective on food and your body, but as with everything take it with a grain of salt (even if it's not Celtic sea salt) and make your own choices :)

Jillian Michaels is trying to kill me

I started the 30 Day Shred today, thanks Katie!

I do not know how those people on Biggest Loser don't die, literally. I am not totally out of shape, after all I walked 60 miles in October, I can walk 15 miles a day for training with no problem, I ran 2.5 miles last week, but this 20 minute workout was HARD. I mean I'm really glad I did it and I hope to look and feel better in a month, but if Jillian hadn't been telling me not to turn off the DVD player I might have!

It's Yellow, I mean Spring

This is how you know it is Spring in Atlanta

Everything gets a coating of yellow pollen. The news said a pollen count above 120 is extremely high, this week we were at 5,837. When it rained, the streets ran yellow! It's really crazy to see.

At long last

New bedroom furniture! I have been pleading my case to Mr. Boddie for what seems like forever, and I finally got new furniture. I love it. The bed is huge!
