{Coburn Family Photos}

Hello there. Today is my Friday, I'm so excited for my 3 day weekend to start. This has been a busy week with ball and work and everything else it seems. This past Saturday we had some family pictures done by the talented Ashley Allbee of Zesty Photo in Florida. She came up for a friend of mines' photos and we got in on her awesomeness too!


Right before I started this journey to getting healthy we had family photos done. I love any picture that has the 3 most important people in my life in them, but since they were taken so close to the start of this journey, they officially became the "before" photo for me. From the moment I realized that I could really make a difference in the way I felt about myself, I've been dying to have a "redo".

We've received a few peeks of the photo and I am SO happy with how she captured our family. I can't wait to get all of them and get them on my walls in our home!

I also met a very important goal a couple of days ago, my "ultimate goal" weight. A little over 6 months ago I threw out a number of 130, thinking it was completely unattainable. I was at 188. Now I am reevaluating what my next goal will be, which I know will include a whole lot of toning. I seem to have hit a point where people think it is appropriate to tell me that I am going to "wither away", that I need to eat something or that I need to stop trying to lose anymore. Of course this is a first time being in this situation for me, but I'm a little amazed that people think this is okay. I can count on one hand the people that it is okay to make this kind of comment to me. I am VERY aware of my weight and my health, I am doing this the healthy way and am in need of no advise on this matter from those that have no right too. Honestly, it doesn't anger me or frustrate me, because for the first time in a long time I am so very comfortable with myself, and also trust my husband to be the person that brings something to my attention if necessary. I am just simply shocked that people think it’s okay. You would tell someone over weight to "drop the cheeseburger", why would you tell someone getting in shape to "get off that scale". Okay, off soap box now. :)

I hope you all have a lovely Easter weekend if I don't have a chance to blog again before. I'll leave you with a few more of our photos.
