I was so lucky to have the pleasure of capturing my niece, Analeise, for her one year birthday shoot. She was so much fun to work with. We originally wanted balloons in the background, but apparently there is a shortage of helium. So we had to say goodbye to that idea. Luckily, Analeise has so much personality, that we wouldn't have needed anything to distract us away from her smile. Here are a few samples from the shoot. 

Paleo Diet

So yoga just did not excite me. Maybe it gets more exciting the better you get, but I have decided to turn my attention else ware. I have heard of this "new" way of eating. Well, not new. It has been around since the beginning of time. But it has finally been written down and bound together in book form. So now it is official.  That way of eating is call the Paleo Diet. Basically, to sum it up, you eat as a hunter-gatherer would eat. Processed foods, gone. Dairy, gone. Grains, gone. Vegetables, fruit, and meat, here we come. To learn more about it, I found a website that really puts the diet to the test, and shows wonderful results. http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10/04/the-beginners-guide-to-the-paleo-diet/

This diet is best used with an exercise routine of mostly weight lifting. So time to dust off my gym pass, and get started. I will keep you updated with the pros and cons. 

Day One!

Day one begins with Bob Harper. I thought it seems like a more relaxing form of yoga. I thought, if the contestants on the Biggest Loser can do it, certainly I can do it. But it turned out to be a challenge, and I loved it. Bring on day two.

First Adventure

YOGA! 

What a great way to start off this adventure! I've always wanted to get into a habit of practicing yoga on a weekly basis. Starting this Monday, for the next 30 day, I will do some form of yoga, Monday-Saturday. From hot yoga to yoga, P90X style. Give me all your suggestions. And I will keep a journal of yoga, and its pros and cons.
