OMGIF Friday!!  ~  329

Three years ago I lost 85 pounds.  I used as part of my self-discipline the mantra, “Nothing taste as good as thin feels.”  That mind-set and an average of 1 – 2 hours a day of exercise depending on, what time I got started after getting home from work, and the long bike rides on Saturday and Sunday plus being hungry all the time helped lose the weight.  During the last few days of the diet I also caught the dreaded Norovirus and that took an extra eight pounds off that I hadn’t counted on.  🙂

I now weigh with in a couple of pounds of what I weighed when I graduated High School.  Now before you say, way to go consider that if the little school I went to had a football team I could have been the entire front line.  Over the years I have lost conservatively over 500 pounds and put it all back on.  What’s my point?  I don’t have one other than to say that this cake and ice cream from last Friday night blew my mantra all to hell. 🙂

So at some point (probably this Summer) I’ll give it a go again and shed some pounds and as always the goal will be to keep it off.

Grandmas and Mommy probably won’t enjoy this image but I was ripping off a bunch of shots of Josh last Friday evening and asking him to show me different moods.  This is his “Mad” face.  Hard to convince someone you’re mad with red velvet cake crumbs all over your face.  Josh has such an expressive face I like to capture all of his looks.

Finally my littlest sweetheart.  I cleaned her face up a little (with Photoshop) but you can see from her dress that she attacked her food with a vengeance.  She has an appetite for about any type of food.

Well that’s it for today.  Not exactly a prize-winning blog from either the photography or pontification standpoint but maybe it will help bring a smile to your face.  That and the fact it’s Friday. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
