This is a quick pic I caught of Aiden while we were in NC after Xmas. I talked my husband into letting me get the camera I'd been wanting (as my xmas gift, of course) and I'm amazed at the shots I can now get. This was a complete random shot I took when I was just playing around with it, but I love it. It shows his gorgeous eyelashes; ones most women would kill for! ;)

The new year is going great~ I've been working out consistently and with more passion, or so it seems. I'm feeling new soreness and the weight is dropping. I've lost 4.8lbs in 1wk, which I KNOW is mostly water weight, but it sure feels good. My energy is way up and it's getting easier to say no to the junk food. I ate so much crap between Thanksgiving and New Year's...I couldn't look at myself without disgust. That was enough. I took pics and got back on the track I needed to be on. Jon & I have committed to eating clean together and not even bringing junk into the house. Our time feels so limited together anyway, so we're having 1 free meal per week, wherever and whatever we choose. This gives us something to look forward to and keeps me focused throughout the week. He leaves Sunday for Notre Dame for the week, so next week should be easy~ I'm usually my most focused when I only have to cook for Aiden & I! lol

Classes start again next week but it shouldn't be too bad. I've made my schedule so that 3 of my classes fall on Tues/Thurs and the others are all online! So this way I only have to go on campus 2 days/wk. :) Sounds good to me!
