Wow!! I need to do this more.

Hello everyone,

It's been a crazy few weeks here and I can't believe I haven't posted since September!  That is terrible.  There have been little boys with colds, Halloween, Remembrance Day and lots of regular days in between.

I talked in my last post about how I am trying to loose weight and get fitter, that has continued with a few interruptions because of sick munchkins. I started taking a Zumba class which I absolutely love but am going to have to find a new time because Thing 2 now has swimming lessons during the same time... that was a scheduling mistake on my part. I also had two sessions with a personal trainer who provided me with a couple of great programs so I am been doing a lot more strength training and about 30 minutes of cardio instead of up to an hour.  I can already feel the difference in my muscles and my trainer noticed a difference after six weeks. 

I said that I would post a before photo in the hopes of holding myself accountable.  So here it goes....
Left: On the treadmill after a hard 20 minute hill workout that I found on the Instragram feed for Livy Love.  Right: the dreaded before photo.
Hopefully I will be able to schedule a few more training sessions as I found it very helpful and motivating but the $64 price tag isn't great.

I have also been doing a lot of work trying to catch up on my Project Life.  I kind of have a love - hate relationship going with Project Life.  2014 is my first year doing it, I decided once we found out that we were moving that it would be neat to try.  I am finding that it takes up too much of my creative time and actually stresses me out.  I have decided that next year for sure I will just do a monthly highlight layout.  I am spending less time worrying about making it all embellished and just getting the photos and stories in.  I have completed up to October 4 which has me over the moon!  Only a month behind, if I can get all caught up I will be able to do traditional scrapbooking with all the kits I have piled up.  I can't wait!!!

Alright, time to Project Life for 30 minutes before off to get Thing 1 and take him to swimming lessons.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
Gwynn
