This Unfamiliar Road

So, remember my post about my plans for the upcoming year? Well, I have been busy busy making it happen...and it's not even February yet! Could spring be around the corner?! Getting in Shape- Well, let's say I have at least started this process. I had a lot of success with Weight Watchers at one point in my life...

I decided to attempt last night: Spinach & Eggs Grisanti(Elizabeth Cariota) -serves...

I started work as a mother/baby nurse (ok-old pic...but I realized I don't take pictures of me in scrubs very often!) Lots and lots of wedding planning! Kept...
