My Life in Pictures: 2009

Keri said I need to update. I agree, so here's some new pics and an update of things that have been going on in the wonderful world of Cheyenne!

Mom, Keri, and I went to the Southern Women's Show at the beginning of April. Since I've been losing weight, I've found out that I actually DO like clothes and trying to look cute! Thus the prisoner ensemble, I mean the super cute outfit I got at Dots (my favorite clothing store!) The pink hat was an addition that I found at the Southern Women's Show and just had to try on, but I decided to leave it there, considering they wanted $57 for something I can make at home for a lot cheaper.

Me and the preggy sis on Easter! I heart her big time! By the way this is the day before I turned 27 (do you think I actually look 27 cause I don't and I don't even feel 27 either).

Ok, here's the latest flash back to the old me and the newer me. I was hoping by the time I posted more pics to have lost anoter 25 pounds, but I've lost another 15 for a total of 40 since November! So, that's still pretty awesome I think. I am feeling so much better, more energized, more happy. I'm excited about losing more!

Ewww! Me then.

Me now (well about 2 weeks ago)

Ugh! Me then...

Me two weeks ago.

So, I love, love, LOVE to walk. That's been my favorite mode of exercise. Well, I decided to try the Country Music 1/2 Marathon this year. I had walked it before and felt like I was going to die, but I'm 40 pounds lighter and figured I could do WAY better. And I really did! I enjoyed every minute of it. I even ran a couple of times (ok, it was always down a hill and not very far, but that's a big step for me!) But the officially 3 hours and 53 minutes it took me to walk it (although I'd like to take about 10 or 15 minutes off of that for the 3 times I had to stop and stand in line to potty because I drank so much water) went by REALLY quickly and I was so happy to see my wonderful family waiting for me at the end!

Woo! I got a medal and a sun burn!

My friend Rianne got married last weekend. I was really excited about it and wearing my new dress that I got a few weekends ago. I felt like a flapper girl, but it fit great and was comfy!

The most recent pic of me. Have a great day! Toodles til next time!

Me and my baby! She loves me, sometimes.

Ok, so you know that I am losing weight. Yay for me! My sis has been urging me to put some before and now pics. Honestly, I didn't think there would be so much of a difference already. Especially because I see myself every day. But then busted out the when I started pic and OH MY GOSH!!!! I can't believe what difference 3 months to the day has made. I'm proud of myself. I feel better. I make better choices. I am buying smaller clothes. You may not can tell, but I can and I'm happy about it and I'm going to toot my own horn about it! Slowly but surely, I'm gonna be a hot tamale someday! By the way, the total so far is 25 pounds and counting!!!! whooo HOOO!!!! I can't wait to be a proud member of the FFA (Former Fatty from America) :)
