mixed bag

February 1, 2010

Since the new year I’ve started a new work out regimen which includes running in these brisk temps (yes, I invested in a bunch of cold weather running gear), a cardio class I’m in love with at my gym and also attending a semi-private training session once a week with a few of my girlfriends. Actually, my friend Blake is my main motivation. We’ve been doing almost all of this together. I’ve lost a few pounds and feel like a new person. It’s amazing the impact exercise has on your overall attitude and motivation. A little music from me to you. Slightly obsessed with P!nk when it comes to working out lately.

Did anyone see the recent Oprah with Michael Pollan of Food Inc.? I found it very interesting and am focusing more on eating organic, antibiotic and hormone free, local, seasonal food. I’m usually pretty good when it comes to our diet but occasionally get lazy and go to the closer and CHEAPER supermarket. Watch the trailer, if you haven’t seen the movie already. I find it criminal that fast food is cheaper than fresh produce and we have no one to blame but ourselves. This is the problem with our country. We have made it impossible for many families to be able to afford to eat healthy which in the end is only adding to the obesity epidemic. It’s the domino affect. Tonight – turkey tacos – all ingredients organic, farm raised…

I’m also back to reading for my book club. We just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Half Broken Horses by Jeanette Walls. I loved The Help and thought Half Broken Horses was good but not great.

Working on getting caught up on alot of stuff for B. Waters Photography and trying to get my life back in order. Why do the holidays always throw things so out of whack? I’ve been trying to get our family photos in order from last year, working on an Ibook from 2009, putting a wall of my vintage family photos together in our dining room (I’ll post photos once it’s complete) and looking forward to exploring film again once it gets warmer out. I invested in quite a few new and fun little cameras, gadgets, etc. and will share my explorations here.

I will leave you with a photo of Conner today, drawing after school. He is very into coloring, painting and drawing which makes me very happy. My dad told me I would sit for hours coloring when I was little. It’s an amazing thing to see hints of yourself in your child. Nothing is more gratifying.
