you want a piece of me?

oh my gosh has it really been almost a month since i've written a post? i've gotta say, it's felt a lot longer. i'm so used to writing at least a post a week that 3 weeks feels like forever! i guess i've slowed down because blogging became kind of weird for me. it's mainly used a tool for my family that's out of state to keep up with me, but a lot of my friends read it too. which is great, anyone that finds my blog entertaining enough to read-go for it. but when i would get together with friends who i don't see very often, who i know read my blog, i wouldn't have anything to say. i felt like they already knew what i had been up to, and if i was grasping for things to say, i would try to think of old posts i've done, hoping they happened to have missed reading that particular one. when i talk to people i like to tell stories, and when i feel like all my stories had already been told-that's a problem.

i think right now i'm struggling to find a good medium-what to write about, what not to write about, what do people want to read, do people even care? so please be patient while the new direction my blog is going in is under construction :) (i don't know what that direction is, so it'll be a surprise to us both)

in the meantime-i can give you a cliffsnotes version of my current going-ons!

*the biggest and best one is most definitely that i am an aunt again!! my sister gave birth to my niece rylee reynolds on aug 27th and both are doing wonderful! pictures to come soon....

*as of a week ago i've lost 31.5 lbs doing the biggest loser. i feel amazing. i'm fitting into sizes that i haven't worn since jr high, and i'm more athletically fit than i've ever been in my whole life. that's not saying much, i'm not gonna win any marathons or try out for the olympics anytime soon, but it's awesome setting personal physical goals then working to achieve them. i mentioned the warrior dash a few blog posts back, and i was SUPER stoked about it until...

*you know that ongoing back problem i have? yeah, it totally flared up again. pretty sure it's zumba's fault. i went to class one day and couldn't walk the next. i missed 3 days of work and, unless some magical back healing fairy comes along, i am pretty sure i'm not going to be well enough by sunday to do the dash. i'm actually taking an unofficial (short) break from biggest loser since i can barely walk, let alone work out.

that's about it for now...now, the fun part!

remember my last vlog where i mentioned fitting into my favorite dress of all time and my roommate doing a photo shoot of me in it?? well, here's the pictures! i think the pictures turned out great and she really did a wonderful job of capturing "me". as it turned out, the best pictures are the ones where i was just goofing off,not even posing for.so, in no particular order, here is our favorite shots:
