Today is my birthday... it was low key. I kept my BFFs gorgeous baby girl, Emma & watched the Cooking channel. It was a treat because we don't have cable. I learned a lot about babies and the amount of liquid they contain, as well as the amount that their diapers cannot.
I came home to a beautiful bouquet from my honey. We had some Sonic & ate birthday cake. I am EXHAUSTED!

What the camera sees
So, I went to the zoo with a friend and her family over Spring Break. I thought I was pretty cute in my aquamarine tee and my jeans, with my Vera Bradley mini-hipster bag and tennies. I left my hair down and even wore make-up (and sunscreen, too!). In the photos they took, where I am posing, I look cute. In the rest, not so much. It is an eye-opener to see myself as I truly am on the outside.
And while at first I was like, ACK! NO! DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! now I am ok. This is in no way a post about me bashing myself over the way I look, just an acknowledgment of what I am up against and where I am starting. It also helps me put myself in perspective. I mean, I did look cute and my outfit was fun & appropriate for the activity. And we walked, and we walked, and we walked...from 10:30am until 4:30pm. The zoo is great for that. The Fort Worth Zoo is HUGE! And Springtime in Texas is a great time to be outside.
Hmmm... maybe I need a zoo membership. I could walk around the zoo all day.
Here are two posed pics... I like them.
and ZOMG! I have HUGE BOOBS!!! (yes, I have know this for a loooong time.)

Return of the Blog!
Howdy peeps!
This is just the notice to let you know I plan on resuming blogging and my fitness quest. I will be 39 in five days which means I have a smidge over 52 weeks to get fit before I turn the big 4-0. I have to put myself to the test... get it gear... and all the other JUST DO IT-type mottoes!
Having been in exam prep freak-out mode for the past forever and then PASSING MY DOCTORAL EXAMS (WOO HOO!) it is time to get back on the wagon. We have been living on food that is delivered or collected through a drive-thru... I miss veggies and cooking. I only gained 5lbs during this time, which isn't great, but it wasn't 15, so I am ok with that.
SO
I need to resume the following (in no particular order):
