Getting to know Cami

Okay, Jill. You asked for it. Here is a picture of my precious family. That's me on the top right, with my amazing husband James holding me close to his side. Hopefully this health blog will be able to help my facial hair too. This 5:00 shadow of mine, is really starting to bug. Our two kids are amazing. That's Carson on the left, with his sweet little sister McKenzie on the right. We couldn't be a happier family. Okay. Just kidding. I couldn't help myself though! Don't ask me why, but this picture was already downloaded in my files on the computer, so I thought, "What the heck?"

This is James and I. You can check out my blog at www.funfamilyoffour.blogspot.com to see more pictures of us, and mainly pictures of the kids. We live in Pocatello, while James is going to Pharmacy school. I'd love to get to know you all better, and so I'll be checking often to see some pictures of you sexy ladies! (Come on- it can't be worst than mustache-mama!)
I've done really well at exercising 6 days a week, but I'm still struggling with eating better. I feel like I've hit the wall that Jill was talking about. I'm worried (with Girl's camp coming up, and going home to visit over my anniversary), that I'm going to really have a hard time with the junk food, if I don't set some really strict rules. I want to do good. I really do! Why can't it just happen for me? Okay- I'm going to be better. My goal of 3 treats last week has gone to pot! I think I probably ate all 3 treats in one day. I am going to snack more on healthy food, and this is my new idea. I heard somewhere that if you want to eat something unhealthy- tell yourself you can, ONLY after you eat at least 2 healthy things, (for example: and apple and a handful of almonds or a big glass of water). In most cases, you won't be so hungry and you'll either decide you don't really want the junk anymore, or at least you won't eat as much of it because you won't be so hungry. So...I'm going to give it a try. I struggle mostly with small things like- a piece of licorice, or a salt water taffy. Things that I think won't really be that damaging. I just don't know how to really limit myself. Once I pop in a few nibs, I don't stop. Maybe this new idea will work. I'll let you all know next week!
Can't wait to see your pictures!!!

Love the first picture Cam. You dork(dork is a good thing at our house). Im going to try the 2 healthy snack idea. I think it makes sence.
I also think that at girls camp you should just have fun and eat! What a couple days off. Am I going to get in trouble for saying that on a health blog? Please dont kick me out of the group.
