Its almost over!

Well this has been one interesting week. The girls woke up Sunday morning sneezing, coughing with lots of congestion. Stephen had already been sick from Friday, so I had 3 people to care for. Camille has missed school so far this week, but thankfully she will make it tomorrow. Her teacher gave me the make-up work yesterday and we completed that already, so now its just relaxing and trying to get her to sit still.....NOT! Simone on the other hand has not stopped moving and this sickness has not slowed her down a bit. In fact, her voice is raspy, but she still continues to yell and scream AND she is eating us out of house and home:)

Stephen is back to work today and recovery good! I have not gotten sick and I am so thankful for that. I like it when I can be well to take care of my family because nobody does is like mama:)

I am still working out 6 days a week and seeing wonderful progress. I know I am going to be in the best shape I have ever been in by the end of May and I can't wait. My parent's have a wonderful swimming pool that is calling our names this summer and I plan on buying a nice 1 piece swimsuit to swim with my family!

Well that is about all for now. Thanks for reading:)

Before & After!

Well I haven't hit my 30lb loss YET, but I am really close. As of this morning I am 22lbs down since Dec. 1st!!! I have a few pictures to show you and tell me if you can see my progress. I'm trying and I think 22lbs in 1 1/2 months is a pretty good start:)

The only picture I have of me before is from this past Aug. and the recent one is from today at my daughters birthday party:)

So, what do you think?

Simone's 3rd Birthday......Part 1

Since we are having her party on Sunday afternoon, we decided to buy just 4 cupcakes(1 for each of us) and let her pick what she wanted to eat for dinner:) So here are some pictures from that this evening. She had a blessed day and thank you all for the wonderful comments, emails and phone calls. We love you all!





























HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET SIMONE!!! We love you so much:)

Today.......3yrs ago!!!!!!!

Today, 3yrs ago I was in the hospital pregnant with Simone. Wow, I can't believe this time is passing by so fast and it makes me sad that its flying by. I went into the hospital on a Saturday night Jan. 14th(full moon) because my water broke at exactly 7:30pm. Things were good no major contractions. Doctor gave me something to help me sleep and around 10pm, Stephen and I got comfortable and watched a little tv before trying to go to bed. Not long after that, my contractions picked up BIG TIME. So to make a long story short. I labored hard from 12am to about 4 something. I dilated from a 3 to 7cm in 10 minutes(the most excruciating pain I had ever felt). And at the last minute, Simone decides to turn face up and was "trying" to come out chin first! She was already stubborn then, trying to do things her way:) So I ended up having to have a csection. Simone was delivered healthy and screaming at 7:53am Sunday morning(Jan. 15th). She has been an absolute blessing to us and we thank God for her everyday. I put together this montage of her 3yrs of life. I hope you enjoy it. It brought lots of tears to my eyes . HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET GIRL! I You!!!!!

Simone & the pink Ipod

Simone went into Camille's room and got her ipod. She was dancing all around the house and singing the songs I HAD get the camera and capture this moment!!!! Oh and I had to include the famous "walk" she has been doing for some time now! I don't know where she got it from because Camille nor I ever walk like that:)haha




And here is the "famous walk"!!! It almost looks like she is doing Salsa dancing:)haha

Keep it going, Keep it up!

Well this morning I stepped on the scale and since Dec. 1st to this morning I have lost 20lbs!!!! Stephen and I wanted to start before the New Year because we didn't want this to be a temporary thing, its a complete lifestyle change. We are going to the gym and having fun cooking together!

2009 is going to be a year of wonderful changes and new things for the Moody family. I am excited about getting healthy and adding years to my life besides taking years away! God is good and as soon as I hit my 30lb loss, I will post before and after pics. I still have 60lbs to go, but I know I can do it! Way to go me:)
