Always love... not just on the holiday. <3

When I got married, we didn't drive right into getting our wedding pictures. They were nice enough, but didn't "Wow" us. We married in October, I got pregnant in December and then we were saving for a house. The pictures were not a priority.

The photographer recently sold me my negatives (cheap!) and I had them scanned and I created a book at My Publisher.com This 11 x 15 leatherbound book was my valentine's day gift to my Husband. It made our not-so-hot pictures, actually come out nice! Of course I can't look at the pictures of me... I think I was 270-280 lbs. in these pictures -- but of course it's a celebration of our love and I shouldn't let my weight in these pictures overshadow that fact.

As for my Cass-a-frass, she was ready for the holiday as if it was Christmas morning. She has a party today at school and was just so excited this morning... For your fashion review (keep it to yourself if it ain't nice) is my Daughter's V-day ensemble, picked all on her own... right down to her red and pink barrettes :)

  3. She really is a cutie pie!! I'd say she did pretty good on picking out the outfit for the day. :-)

    Your book looks amazing! That's very cool... and I can totally relate on how you feel about looking at the pictures, I will feel the same way - BUT the important thing is to look at how far we've come!!

What's happening THIS week.

Image
This week started out with a *bang* yesterday doing the 70.3 in Galveston.  Now, if I'm keeping it real, I only trained about a month for the swim so I wasn't completely deserving of a great swim time.  I'm good with that.  You get out what you put in.

It was a really tough race for everyone, including the pros, who were rolling behind their normal performance (so they say).  The swim was the easiest of all the years I've done this race, and my my worst time.  In the end the swim took me 48 minutes.  I think my best time in Galveston was 43.

The swim was wetsuit optional and I chose to move to the wetsuit wave.  With 50+ relays, we weren't in contention for anything, so we kept it light and fun.  I was a bit uncomfortable until the first turn, but then found my pace.  I swam, what seemed, pretty darned straight.  So straight that I wished I wore my Garmin.  And I didn't wear my Garmin, well, because I didn't want to suck the fun out of it. and see bad data…

I Loved It! Moving Comfort Compression Running Shorts

Thanks to Misty over at the Athena Diaries, I have a new love! The Moving Comfort MCW Compression Running Short.

I have been a long-time fan of MC's sports bras; they are a less expensive alternative to the Enell and keep *things* in place just as well. The Maia is my favorite -- I swim, bike and run in them without any discomfort. I am still on the hunt for a good high impact racer-back bra for a D.

I ordered my shorts but was on the fence with regard to sizing. I call the folks up at Moving Comfort and they were nice and helpful. The customer service rep suggested the MCW version, when I told her my issues and how I am right on the tail end of regular sizes. So I went with their a "MCW" collection. I'm glad I did.

It was nice to know that the MCW version was exactly the same tech-wear, just sized for the fuller figure and 1/2" longer. I really appreciated that the fit wasn't just a larger size of the regular sized version. They took into account the areas plu…
