Boudoir 2012!

Let us just start by saying, "sorry"! We have not forgotten about our blog or any of our readers. I think we got a little caught up with the holidays and then with fun shoots. But, here we are and ready to show you some of our newest work. This is our third annual boudoir marathon and it's the best turn out we've had! We can't begin to tell you how much fun these shoots are for us. It gives us a chance to REALLY know you and for us to be super creative. I think the best part for us is making the girls feel beautiful. We have professional stylists come in for hair and make-up and then they are ready for the camera. Now we don't just get your every day, run of the mill stylist! We only use the best...so a big thank you to Amelia Ehrgott and Ashley Anderson. I don't have to say much about them, the pictures speak for themselves. Amazing! The girls wear things they don't normally wear and they feel amazing. It's amazing for us too! Some of the women do it for their husbands, boyfriends, fiance's, but more than not, they do it for themselves. It's an empowering feeling! So, here is a peak at some of our photos. This isn't everyone, because it's not Valentine's day and for some it's still a secret!

Progress...

First pictures

So, these past 4 weeks have been a real eye opener. I have found that I love working out, but don't want to do it all the time. I work out about 4-5 times a week and am finding small changes in my body every day. I've also found that this is going to take a lot longer than it's ever taken me to lose weight. I guess age does that! I'm giving myself a year to get to my goal weight. Me and food have a very bad relationship, so it's going to take me awhile to get that under control. Now, that being said, I am doing much better with it than I have ever in my life. I'm writing everything down with My Fitness Pal (thank you Jeni Selm for reminding me about it), I'm trying food I typically don't like, I'm eating less, butter and I have broken up (with an affair on the side every once in awhile) and my saving grace is my green monster shakes! Most important is my working out. I know that if I stop, my progress will stop. The encouragement I'm getting is amazing! I really don't think I would keep up this pace if it weren't for people's kind words (and the fact that I have to post pictures every month). So, here's my first months progress pictures. Please be kind, it's a slow process!!! Thanks for the encouragment everyone!!! Oh yeah, I'm down 10 lbs!!!!!
