We met up in Carlsbad at Hosp Grove for a little family session a week ago. The two young ladies featured here are the what keep this family unit pumping as they are part of Team Tastor in the care of Trey and Evan. They are amazing with the boys and you can just feel the unity between all of them. You may also remember these boys from the Stories of Autism project I did a couple of months - see their story here.

Today marks the first day of my gym’s “60-day Stick to the Program Nutritional Challenge”. I’ve been waiting for this day. I have watched with my own eyes the changes made to my fellow gym mates body composition. I am seeing the changes in my own body composition, especially my endurance level. For the first time, I know it is attainable to be in the best shape I have ever been in and finally get rid of the love handles that I have on multiple occasions blamed on pregnancy - but truthfully, it was really the late night Oreo cookies and milk. Today we did a baseline workout, here are my stats:

My eating habits will certainly be challenged. My love for chocolate will be put to the test. Rice – oh how I will miss you. Logging in every meal and snack will be – interesting. Every now and then I’ll post my progress and the new meals I’ll be cooking up.

Mango slices :) yum! Don't worry there is no sugar added and I enjoyed it in moderation.

 My schedule for August. I just realized I scheduled sleep... 60-days from now…. oh the possibilities!

We met at Oceanside Pier surrounded by what seemed like the entire North County population.... squeezing through little nooks and crannies stealing a few headshots here and there. The family brought a new level of blue and white to a session. I just LOVE how the outfits are so well coordinated and not to mention the gorgeousness of every single family member.
