1 Snap A Day - Day 1

Resolutions....

Day 1: 

Today I will start with the first of a few "Resolution" photos for this "1 Snap A Day" project.  My first resolution is to get back on track with my healthy eating habits. 

 
 
Throughout my life I've always been athletic, but there came a time where that window closed for me...right after the Honeymoon and start of my Master's Program.  Add to that three children, and helloooooo heavier me!  I finally called a good friend (while eating a huge piece of coffee cake) and asked her about how she was able to lose weight and keep it off, and two weeks later I was changing my eating habits through Take Shape for Life!  I started the program in July, and 3 months later I ran a half marathon....4 months later I officially lost 30 lbs!  I am so happy to see that the window has now re-opened and is wider than ever!  My awesome coach is Megan Guttman...click here for her facebook page!  You can also search for her on the TSFL website.
 
The week between Christmas and New Year's was a very difficult one for me, so I did end up straying a bit.  My first resolution is to get back on track and finish the first phase of my plan in the next 45 days!  I have about 13 lbs. to go until I reach my goal weight, so I am determined to get there by, let's say, Valentine's Day!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone's enjoying their New Year's Eve!!  We went to our friend's house for a little soiree...good food, good company and an early New Year's countdown for the kids.  Hopefully I'll make it to midnight.  I might be in bed reading a book, but I'm determined to see the ball drop. 

Here are some photos of the cookies I made for the party tonight...








Tomorrow I'll be off and running...The Hamilton Hangover 5 mile run, that is!  I am determined to start off the New Year on a positive note.  13 is my lucky number, so it's bound to be a good year...right?!

Christmas Cookies are D.O.N.E.

Yayyyyy!  I've finally completed a project.  ALL of the holiday cookies are finished!  My last order is done and ready to be delivered this weekend...

 
 
One of my holiday traditions are chocolate frogs.  If you know me, you know about my love for frogs (typically not real ones).  Awhile ago, I found some cute chocolate molds at Candyland Crafts...thus started my holiday chocolate frog tradition.  This year I decided to add holiday frog cookies to the mix...
 

 
Tonight I will be bagging about 50 of these cuties for friends and family.  Then it's back to the sewing machine to finish up a couple of orders (and a couple of small quilts for the Moms for their birthdays...I'll post that sometime next week).
 
Happy Holidays everyone!!
