It's a new year, folks!

Well, Happy New Year!  Last night I really didn't do much - just the normal we've got babies routine.  We let the kids stay up till ten and then we watched a movie(Julie & Julia) and ate too much food.  As for the movie - it was pretty good.  I think it would have been really good if we could have left out the part about Julie and just heard about Julia.   And speaking of eating too much food...

Today Ashely came over to go over the workout routines she had given me and to help me learn the moves and stuff.  If you didn't know it Ashley is a personal trainer and after I saw the amazing transformation of one of her clients I yearned for her services.  But it wasn't until she called about doing some pictures that I thought of trading my photography for her expertise.  It has been really good.  She really knows what she's talking about and has told me what equipment to get, how to use it, and is helping me train for my races.   In this photo you can see my slobby body as I'm doing fake jump roping.  I guess most of us don't have the ceiling space for regular ropes so she had me use one pound hand weights instead.  You can see cute little Ashley on the right.  So, that was good.  She also had me get a ball and a band and showed me how many many things you can do with those two basic tools.  It was great.  I'm excited to know all that new stuff!
