20

20 pounds in 7 weeks. That is how much weight I've lost thanks to changing my eating habits, Body by Vi and ZUMBA Fitness.

I've tried quick fix diets before with limited success, but then I had a friend and fellow ZUMBA instructor tell me about Body by Vi and how it worked for her. I sampled some of the product and loved it.

It is 2 shakes a day, and let me tell you - they are so good (there are hundreds of different recipes out there so there is no chance of bordem)! Snacks in between and then a sensible dinner - easy!

My goal is to lose 25 more pounds by May; I'm going on a nice little get-away with my sisters to Cancun - I'm so excited!

Birds!

I have recently started some sewing projects (me? Me! The one who nearly failed Home Ec. in high school!). Maybe it's because I love color and love to look at all the different fabrics and prints. I came across these adorable bird softies and I'm thinking its about time to pull the sewing machine out and give it a try!

Are they not just the cutest little things?!


In other news, Kyle and I have signed up for a weight loss challenge. The winner will get about $350 CASH!!
So far it has been going great! We are in week 3 of a 28 week program and so far (drum roll...)

I've lost 9 lbs
AND
Kyle has lost an amazing 16 lbs!!

It has been tough not eating the things we love (bread, pasta, pizza) but these sacrifices need to be made for us to get healthy AND be an example to the kids.
