Where has the time gone? And her super big sister Emma...she'll be 6 on the 22nd! I just can hardly believe it every time I look at the girls and remember being Sophie's size, especially seeing Sophie in some of Emma's old clothes and jammies. You never quite grasp the truth in the statement when people say how the time flies and cherish every minute because they grow up so fast!<br /><br /><br />Mom's photos are here too in a different slideshow:<br /><div><embed src="http://widget-04.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=1873497445014017540&site=widget-04.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1873497445014017540&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-04.slide.com/p1/1873497445014017540/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1873497445014017540&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-04.slide.com/p2/1873497445014017540/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=1873497445014017540&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-04.slide.com/p4/1873497445014017540/bb_t056_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><embed style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 320px" name="flashticker" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" src="http://widget-ea.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2377900603280869866&site=widget-ea.slide.com"></embed><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 400px"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2377900603280869866&map=1" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://widget-ea.slide.com/p1/2377900603280869866/bb_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2377900603280869866&map=2" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://widget-ea.slide.com/p2/2377900603280869866/bb_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2377900603280869866&map=F" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://widget-ea.slide.com/p4/2377900603280869866/bb_t046_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" /></a></div></div>Not So Anonymous Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159054257896481122.post-57296824838384999962011-04-12T12:36:00.001-05:002011-04-12T12:37:29.112-05:00Carpet tilesGO win some funky fun carpet tiles!

Those old habits come back way too easily, more easily than they go away. I'm a snacker, it has taken a lot in the couple of days since I rejoined WW to get through each day without all that snacking...or when I did snack, making better choices. I did it before, lost over 65 pounds just before getting pregnant. On the 30th it will be a year since I found out I was pregnant with little Sophie, seems fitting that I'm back to WW now. I'm tackling the food first then will work my way back into zumba eventually. It feels good to be back, I went to the meeting Saturday morning then went to get a new haircut...many layers, just like my personality! haha!</div></div></div>Not So Anonymous Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159054257896481122.post-68505501619618276752010-06-01T09:26:00.002-05:002010-06-01T10:24:24.725-05:00Videos of Sophie in belly!Well, Friday we will welcome our little girl to the world via c-section!

I hit that 50 pound mark one week when I weighed in at Snap Fitness for Biggest Loser but then it never reflected on the Weight Watchers scale...in fact the WW scale seemed to creep up, then go down a bit then creep up...I'm still like 2 pounds from my official 50 pound mark! <br /><br />So, I started Zumba class 2 weeks ago or so and I've been much more consistent in going to Snap Fitness and busting my butt in the last couple weeks so on Saturday when I was up half a pound I was on the verge of tears (I know it's a little nuts). I talked to my trainer at Snap who is wonderful and said I wanted to come in to be measured because I was still feeling like I was slimming down and sure enough, in one month I've lost 10 inches total between 4 areas of my body! I was beaming last night! I bid a fond farewell to 2 inches on my bustline, 4 inches in the torso area between bust and belly, 2 inches at the naval line and 2 inches on my hips! Buh bye!<br /><br />I just had to share this and hopefully anyone else who might be fumbling through weight loss hitting plateaus might stumble on this page and see that it's not all about the scale!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307180783721429874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 114px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 114px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTv4bfi3TXJDxAvKJbjgPEaswlRGZHPCRTAmmbfyNY9ukpQgk0-7igsybBYcb6GSVody955YqKls38vv17VP-_CDNLF5MmC8hJvXofjxQ67z-paDUxOA3DcuZGBE2JapqRSCYtGQovWyIW/s320/scale.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Not So Anonymous Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159054257896481122.post-86792142852646689272009-02-16T08:15:00.002-06:002009-02-16T08:21:31.292-06:00Ice Bites!This weekend I ended up with a bruise the size of Montana on my butt! I was leaving my dad’s to go visit my newest baby cousin in Oshkosh and dad and grandpa were behind me as we walked out of dad’s house and I said to be careful because the steps looked a little slippery…apparently my feet didn’t hear me and I went down, hit one butt cheek on each of the 4 or 5 steps on the way down. OUCH! By the evening time I had a big red mark going through a large nasty looking bruise across most of the one side of my butt!! Today I woke up pretty stiff and store and my back and butt are hurting now! Oh well, at least it will feel better within a couple of days, not like I broke anything and at least I was not carrying Emma or anything. <br /><br />If it weren't for embarrassment over it being my butt, I'd post a picture of that nasty bruise, it's the most hideous one I've ever had I think!<br /><br />Other than that, business as usual around here, busy with school and work and anxiously awaiting news at work about possible layoffs. There's a meeting of the Board of Trustees Wednesday and on Thursday we have a debriefing about that meeting and the buzz is we might hear about layoffs. My husband spoke with some high up people on campus yesterday that were talking to him about 25 staff and 25 faculty being laid off...here's hoping I'm not one of those 25 staff!Not So Anonymous Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7159054257896481122.post-30871994378616627132009-02-04T13:05:00.004-06:002009-02-04T13:16:52.807-06:00Zumba & Ice Skating<div>I only have a second but must say you have GOT TO TRY <a href="http://www.zumba.com/">Zumba</a>!!

I'm going to try some on at stores and see how I do with my weak ankles!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRmUFpnKvZ158Kuj-JeE1qpN9fOHNaWTCMVAF0PUp9RTgb_ik4lVDQ-SZzkssHn1JXd9Zb493wS-2Fj5i1a6SH4TiCWX_wKVbgTsbJKZt_sqQ1NBXy-FD5mHyaobhAp-0H3q1Q2XLUlmI/s1600-h/IMG_4836.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299021439300180290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIRmUFpnKvZ158Kuj-JeE1qpN9fOHNaWTCMVAF0PUp9RTgb_ik4lVDQ-SZzkssHn1JXd9Zb493wS-2Fj5i1a6SH4TiCWX_wKVbgTsbJKZt_sqQ1NBXy-FD5mHyaobhAp-0H3q1Q2XLUlmI/s320/IMG_4836.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4oe9QEwAYKJDDftVdPVYUWLDsGnxBSF_zwmy7Mi2WavDb34D7ULDTWjNCT65PpzZw3zUtI2irc6ZUu0udHdlH0N848Py-i6tYEKDj99CeepeSc5yqy7CmD4H4nO4T88VnzUW6_N-xyWU/s1600-h/IMG_4830.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299021433320721954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw4oe9QEwAYKJDDftVdPVYUWLDsGnxBSF_zwmy7Mi2WavDb34D7ULDTWjNCT65PpzZw3zUtI2irc6ZUu0udHdlH0N848Py-i6tYEKDj99CeepeSc5yqy7CmD4H4nO4T88VnzUW6_N-xyWU/s320/IMG_4830.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN4aNYiaFr-hVdlGSxfRj0GG1xJeJUBbdS4CQTDfSey-EDXbzLXT-Wn_-PIB0t-hb86RvhucCt9CfKakqaO9R3XB7bxiJo6NLOacMrm1ugbELHDgDziKOON46CXhx8QBdY35AUKgYJinUr/s1600-h/IMG_4816.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299021425889575954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN4aNYiaFr-hVdlGSxfRj0GG1xJeJUBbdS4CQTDfSey-EDXbzLXT-Wn_-PIB0t-hb86RvhucCt9CfKakqaO9R3XB7bxiJo6NLOacMrm1ugbELHDgDziKOON46CXhx8QBdY35AUKgYJinUr/s320/IMG_4816.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YROnkk-UvzjTUvKze_s1HmOo154U8668fB0gJpxE2uhZdG_ll79QLtCDpjgtt2KjdXfIm92QPS1Mq3yJ37_oID_qXRe8zON4XH_H7e2PzCXS20Q5UFGWGwR88sUtkmhAn6mVTT5Z-o3i/s1600-h/100_3879a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299021418819243074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3YROnkk-UvzjTUvKze_s1HmOo154U8668fB0gJpxE2uhZdG_ll79QLtCDpjgtt2KjdXfIm92QPS1Mq3yJ37_oID_qXRe8zON4XH_H7e2PzCXS20Q5UFGWGwR88sUtkmhAn6mVTT5Z-o3i/s320/100_3879a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4BV0nRndg01ImLJM7GxJEiSWocaPWWhekO3BHeWjNj9Tt4mJepO07kEtmz-gCJOQd2VqT0ABopNFkWnHXZb1eTCmtj4IKOyQRaR-4VNd0NPt-YaZl7fI8hOwtXVhaDP1XpS7svtuAdmzP/s1600-h/100_3874a.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299021412450463474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4BV0nRndg01ImLJM7GxJEiSWocaPWWhekO3BHeWjNj9Tt4mJepO07kEtmz-gCJOQd2VqT0ABopNFkWnHXZb1eTCmtj4IKOyQRaR-4VNd0NPt-YaZl7fI8hOwtXVhaDP1XpS7svtuAdmzP/s320/100_3874a.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Check out Em on her skates!</div></div></div></div></div>Not So Anonymous Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09124270202359921566noreply@blogger.com4
