The line up!

Coach Ray, my very patient husband, is giving the team a "Pep Talk".

Excited Smiles

First at bat and he had a GREAT hit!!

Well, you gotta talk to your friends on first, even if they play for the other team :)

Adam was not very happy because he didn't get to wear a "blue shirt with a number on it and play with Nick and Daddy". Mr. Attitude.

Needless to say, I found one at a craft store and made him his own for being a honorary bat boy.

Friday Flashback - Mother's Day Edition

I was short on time today to fully prepare for the Mother's Day photos I wanted, but...

This photo is from Mother's Day 2008. Adam is 1 and Nick is 4.

Taken right before we went to brunch.

Friday Fill Ins

1. Salsa is best when it is homemade and one of my favorite snacks, with chips of course!

2. Look at all the condiments and you've even got mustard.

3. By the time I get home I will have about 1/2 hour to get changed, quickly feed 2 kids, and head out to Nicks t-ball game!

4. A good bargin is what I look forward to most when grocery shopping.

5. And I was dreaming about my Anniversary vacation with my hubby that is NEXT WEEK!!!!

6. A warm, sunny, relaxing day off work...is there anything else better?!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Nick's T-ball game, tomorrow my plans include planting some flowers and finishing up last minute Mother's Day gifts, and Sunday, I want to enjoy Mother's Day with my family!

Slip Sliding Away!!

Is there any better way to enjoy an 85 degree day?

The boys had a blast!

Today the 1 lb At a Time begins!

Ok...I am weighed. I weigh *** (you didn't think I would actually put the real number - did you? ;) and now I will update you each Saturday on my (hopefully) weight loss and exercise goals for the week. It's exciting!!

1 lb. at a Time!

Those last few pregnancy pounds are hard to loose!!

I have about 8 more pounds to be exactly were I want to be. I am not so interested in the weight as much as I am eating healthier and getting fit and tone. I am a nutritionist, with a bachelors degree in nutrition and dietetics and a successful career, so you would think it would be easy. Well without support and accountability, it is not! People wonder why I am doing this because I am small, and I still wear a size 6, but I still feel the need to be healthier.

I loved this challenge when I read about it on the This Mommy Works blog and I knew it was exactly what I was looking for.

Here are my goals:

1. Walk for 1/2 hour during my hour lunch at least 3 out of 5 days, weather permitting,

per week.

2. Pack lunch 4 days per week and if I have to eat out, only allow myself to order only

healthy food .

3. Exercise 4 out of 7 days in th evening after supper. I have a great development for walks/runs and I can always count on Adam to be my stoller buddy.

4. No fried foods!

5. Only eat a snack in the evening if I am TRULY hungry.

6. Weigh myself every Friday morning and report my results every Saturday.

7. My ultimate goal is 10 lbs and a toner body in time for summer.

This is a great oportunity...good luck! Deadline to register is April 30th.
