Photo Crazy

I got a new camera for mother's day/4 year anniversary. It's a digital SLR Canon Rebel XS.  Which is awesome because I can use the lenses that I used with my film Canon Rebel.
I am completely addicted to taking pictures.  I have always been interested in photography, but never invested much time into learning about the camera.  I know that there are photographers everywhere, but I can see myself doing this for a living.
Like everything else this will take some time.  I want to do it right.  I want to learn about my camera and know how to take pictures without using the automatic settings.  I bought the book for my camera and think that I will start there.
So my friends consider this your WARNING... there will be lots of pictures posted and even more pictures taken.  :) enjoy

Binging but no Purging

I am starting a weight loss journey this weekend (Sunday, and not a moment sooner) lol.   I am joining a biggest loser type club.  As long as there are enough participants.  We all put some money into a pot and the person with the biggest percentage of weight lost at the end of 8 weeks gets the moolah!  Great motivator!  I need to lose anyway and with the chance at winning some cash, well, that is awesome!

I will be blogging on my journey.  Though, I will not tell my starting weight.  No eff that ya'll.  But, I will tell my weight lost (hopefully not gained).

Until then it's pizza and cookies. I'm not kidding.  I am eating like I will never eat again. And who knows I may never eat Like This again.  I know that my family will benefit in the long run.  I do not want my son eating like a fool for the rest of his life.  It is totally up to us(Nelson and me) during the first 10-15 years.

Speaking of food it is time for breakfast! Gotta Run ( not literally though... that starts Sunday, and not a moment sooner)

Update 10/8/2012- I lost 8 lbs during this.  And gained it back and have been holding steady. ick. Time to revisit this.

Someone else's shoes...

I remember when I used to think that being a stay at home mom would be an easy thing to do.  Yeah... umm I was wrong.  Having another human relying on you for EVERYTHING is not an easy task.  Don't get me wrong... I love my life and my son, but dang.

What's in a Name?

I have never really blogged before but I figured I would give it a shot.  I named it baby steps because:
1. This is my first official blog site.
2. I have a little man named Alexander, whom I am sure I will write lots about. ~ he's my baby. heh get it?
3. There are lots of things that I need to work on, like, weight-loss, finding myself both in the role of being a mother and wife and myself outside of motherhood and wifeyhood.

It's all gotta start somewhere and with me it has got to begin with baby steps.

There is no promise that I will blog everyday, but I will try to keep this up to date.
So there ya have it.  Enjoy.
