A Months Worth of Pictures

With my camera lens having broken while we were in France, I haven't been very motivated to take any pictures. But that changed when I replaced it with an upgraded 50mm lens. 

This glass is SOOO much better its unreal. 

Example 1.

This is inside with no flash.

 Example 2.

I have not been able to get pictures of Ranger because his coat is such a weird color it doesn't show up well in pictures. NOT ANY MORE!

Look at my beautiful dog. 

 This is a ridiculous picture of Lucy just to show you how much she's grown this summer. 

This was a suit that fit her in June. 

She insisted on wearing it. 

I laughed the entire day. 

 Our prizes at the state fair. 

 Asher is now playing flag football. 

I have always used the line "don't smile" to get him to smile. 

So now that I am trying to get a picture of him being "tough" he can't help it, he has to produce the biggest grin you've ever seen.

 Gah, I love this handsome boy. 

 Lucy is as silly as ever. 

We were hiking and she got herself next to a rock and said "Mommy, this will be a good one."

 Then struck this pose. No lie. 

 A boy and his dog. 

I am so glad I captured Asher's expression here. 

Priceless. 

Full Disclosure Week 4

Since my family was in town this past week, I only made it to the gym three times...but I stayed off of the sweets and I was a bit more active than usual thanks to four kids running around my house!

So here is week four: 136.6

Yay! I lost a pound and am about a pound and half from where I would like to maintain. I mean, who wouldn't love to be below 130? But at that point I might have to buy new clothes and I am comfortable at 135. So, a pound and half doesn't seem too unobtainable! That is great fun.

This is the last week of the staff challenge, but it has been so motivating I might try to keep it up. At least four days a week of exercise seems doable. I registered today to do a 12k trail run in the Dupont Forest on March 8 and I am thinking about a triathlon in June and possibly registering for the NYC Marathon lottery again.

I need to make up time with work obligations this week, so blogging might fall to the background again. But, it might also be something that I do obsessively as a way to put off my work! Haha!

How are all of you out there in blogland doing with your workout disciplines? Just a reminder, spring is a mere 25 days away! Are your legs ready for shorts weather?
