before and after

i am so proud of you.  i've tried over and over again to express this in a different way but no other words seem to work.  thank you for letting me be a part of your amazing journey.  2 months.  that's it.  i cannot wait to see what 2 more bring you.  congratulations on taking such an active role in your own life.  i am so proud of you.

take a leap. do it because you can. push yourself

cheaters

after a rough week and a night of dealing with large crowds (more on that tomorrow) we headed home early, changed into our pj's made a bed on the floor and popped in a movie.  these nights are always my favorite.

his whole life challenge ends in less than a week but we couldn't wait any longer.  we cheated and gorged on candy and chips.  we'll regret this in the morning.

be content.  brave the crowds.  enjoy one another.

cleaning out the kitchen

since our very first date i've heard my BF talk about the paleo diet.  since our very first date i haven't done my best to support his no dairy, grains or refined sugar abstinence. shame on me. now that we're officially living together (i still can't believe it!!!) i can support him in his desire to live a cleaner much more healthy life. yesterday he officially signed up for the whole life challenge through his gym.  starting on the 15th of next month we'll be eating nothing but the paleo diet for a month and a half.  to get things started off we made a dinner menu for the coming week.  buying only from the outer perimeter of the grocery made for a quick and easy shopping day!

standing above the kitchen table on a chair with my camera viewer pushed up against the ceiling was slightly precarious and really kind of scary. and difficult. (this was the best shot i could come up with)

try a new vegetable. do something different. sing in the shower. loudly.
