Nov. 2010 (The Dec. picture was a bad angle so I used Nov. instead)

Hopefully all changes since last year have been positive changes. The most noticeable, and worked on change has been my goal of getting in shape. I have another blog that is a weight loss/fitness blog that I am a part of. I took these pictures for that blog. (Monthly pictures to show the progress) That was one New Year resolution that I actually stuck to (well, with the exception of this last month. Those Christmas goodies are TOO good.)and I'm not done yet. Within this year I have pushed my body and mind to limits that I never thought were possible. I've become more comfortable with myself. That isn't all because of the weight loss, but taking the time to do something that is important to me, and giving me time to think has been good for me. It's also because my kids are older this year, mainly Sydney is more independent and I'm not in that frazzled 1st year of life of a baby. This year I've also been able to make some wonderful, lasting friendships, and that helps me to feel more like "Sarah" and not just "Mom". I absolutely LOVE being "mom" and I'd never change that, but it's nice to remember who I am in addition to mom.
