Got boxes of old photos??



Sent in about 400 pics to be scanned before Christmas and I love love love the job they did!! about 2 years ago I bought a $150 scanner all in one, but it takes time to get rid of some of the scratches and spots on aged photos! So i only scanned what I needed for my video montage and stopped.
Scan Cafe scanned ALL of my pics and I got to choose the one I wanted to keep!! So cool!

VisitScanCafe for more details and don't forget to use the code "twentyoff" on orders over $75!! Hurry this deal ends soon!

Let me know if you know of any other sites you prefer for scans, because I still have TONS of old pictures!

Body After Baby -Week Two

MamaNotes

The Goal- Drink 8-10 cups of h2o a day recording each one in my food journal. Work out at gym at least once.

Success! Although I dont feel very successful!! No weight loss this week! Even though I did 3 days of turbo kickboxing and serious saw my belly shrink before my eyes. Seriously, my baby blob, seems to be firming up a bit. Thank goodness!

Reflecting on the week I realize just how much of an emotional eater I am. I had one bad day at work and it practically ruined the whole week. I didn't just jump back on the horse like I had the week before with chinese food. This time I was feeding my emotions. BOY are they HUNGRY! lol. Anyways. It's a new week and I plan to keep going.

What is your favorite part of your workout? I would have to say my me time. I just posted this on my facebook "i thought working out with a baby would be more challenging, but it's actually more tempting. I get to leave the lil munchkin with daddy while i take a kickboxing class and hit a store on the way home! It's the best kind of me time!!"

My goal this week- Eat a healthy breakfast every morning!! It is the most important meal of the day! Make a habit!

Thanks to Samantha over at MamaNotes for posting the question of the week and I look forward to the mini challenges!

Body After Baby -Week One

The Goal: Start my food journal! Write everything I eat! No exceptions! Work out at the gym at least one time.

Success! My weekly goal obtained PLUS 3 lbs down. I know you are not supposed to rely on the scales as they can be deceiving but it sure feels good when they show you what you wanna see!! lol.

Like every weekend, I splurged. Had Chinese food (practically a buffet) with the family. Can never say no. But I jumped back on the horse by dinner. Before if I ate bad for one meal I would let it ruin my diet for the entire day or week even! But this time I just picked right back up.

Keeping my WW food journal is really my key to success. I only made it to the gym one time this week, but I am on my way to a 9am Core Central Class as soon as I post this!!

Hope everyone had a great week! Keep up the good work ladies!

My Body after Baby Goals

2009 was a year of many blessing! New home, our first born, good health and a year of no diets!! I found out I was pregnant in Nov of 2008 so the word “diet” went out the door. Instead I just “ate for baby” For the most part it was much healthier than I had ever done in the past b/c this time it was for something far better than fitting into my skinny jeans. I had very little weight gain until the last month when I just “blew up” I don’t know how. It couldn’t possibly have been from the quarts of ice cream, boxes of cookies, bags of chips, and lets not forget my mom’s YUMMY southern cooking! Oh no, I was eating for two! Lol

Either way, we were blessed with a healthy, beautiful baby girl July 30,2009. I’m a breastfeeding only momma so I thought no biggie, those extra 25 pounds are gonna get sucked right off!! Yea right. Not even I countinue to eat like a hormonal pregnant woman! My craving were worse after the baby it seemed!

So now, it’s nearly 2010 and I’m writing my NY resolutions. But this year it’s different b/c I am gonna make a game plan as well! Not just what I want, but how I’m gonna get it! And now that I have a family to think of I am getting healthy and fit for more than just me!

Ultimate Goals

*Eat healthier

* Work out 3x’s a week

*Lose 25 pounds (I will be breaking these up in smaller goals later)

Plan

I’m doing the Body after baby challenge b/c I enjoy competition and accountiblity. I also like how she makes mini challenges that are totally doable! So I will def be keeping up with these challenges plus adding a few of my own.

My other get healthy secret is Weight watchers. It is the only “diet” that really works for me. Writing down EVERYTHING I put in my mouth is such an amazing trick! I’m gonna start off with the online version and if that doesn’t work I will pay more $$ to go to the meeting so they can force me to step on the scales each week and really make myself accountable!

Weekly Goals (January)

So I read in this months issue of shape it is better to make smaller obtainable goals each month/week to help reach your ultimate goals. I will start with Januarys goals and post the other months as they come. Weighs in will be on Wednesdays. Slow and steady wins the race!

1: Start my food journal! Write everything I eat! No exceptions! Work out at the gym at least one time.

2. Drink 8-10 cups of h2o a day recording each one in my food journal. Work out at gym at least once.

3. Eat a healthy breakfast every morning!! It is the most important meal of the day! Make a habit!

4. Work out at least TWO days this week. Continue food journal and weekly weigh ins.
