Hey girls! Katie and Caitie know me and my family, but Shelley and Cindy don't so here's a little get-to-know-you...
I live in La Mesa (San Diego), California. I'm a stay at home mom who also does part-time daycare during the week and photography sessions a couple weekends a month. I love to read and get free books by running a book review blog Heidi Reads...
My favorite exercise is running but since I had a stress fracture in 2012 and then developed plantar fasciitis in 2013, I haven't been able to run without making something flare up. I really miss feeling fast!
I was raised with healthy eating, but after I got married I enjoyed the freedom to eat whatever I wanted... and paid for it in a steady weight increase over the last 15 years.
Here's my most recent selfie- just got a short haircut!
My sweet family- Jason, Emily (age 9), Annibelle (age 2)
We adopted both our girls as infants, they are our precious blessings!
This is a candid shot of me last October at my mom's wedding... I felt much thinner than I look (thanks Spanx) and when I saw the pictures I realized how distorted my self-image is. I think that because I feel younger than I am, I also subconsciously think like I look that way too... not so much. I've had lots of reality checks over the recent years, and this latest one is motivating me to change before we get to swimsuit season!
So here's my "before" pictures. My goal is for this shirt to fit slightly loose (it's from my first Color Run!) These first few days have shown me how easy it is to eat well during the day... and how much I struggle at night! I'm so glad that we're doing this together- I need all the help I can get!
