125 lbs Lighter!

I have been quite a slacker when it comes to updating my blog. The summer months flew by and now we are knocking on the door of winter. Adam & I spent the majority of our summer exercising but all the hard work paid off because we are now 125 lbs lighter. Adam lost an amazing 100 lbs and I lost 25 lbs. Adam was much more dedicated than I was waking up at 3:30am to get in 2 hours of exercise before work then completing another 2 hours of exercise after work. On the weekends he would do between 4-6 hours of exercise per day. On the weekdays, I would join him for a morning walk and bike ride around 4:30am then go again for another walk and bike ride after work. We learned early on that exercise alone does not produce good results. Eating sensibly and counting calories is essential when trying to lose weight which we both did faithfully.

Here are our before and after photos which compare our "fluffier" selves with our current "less fluffier" selves. The before photo was taken on our cruise in March of this year. We both hit our goal weight last month and have successfully maintained our current weight for 1 month now.

Leonard the Great!

As I was looking back through my summer photos, I realized that I have gotten out of the habit of taking my camera everywhere I go. Now that the kids are older, they really arent that exciting and usually complain when the camera comes out so I just dont take it with me as much anymore. I did notice that the majority of the photos I did take are of Leonard, my new favorite son. He cuddles on my lap, doesnt talk back, isnt camera shy and is by far the cutest, funniest and sweetest member of the family. So here is another photo collage of the adventures in life of Leonard.
