One year ago...
1. I was 23 pounds heavier
2. I was nursing our 7 month old Izzy
3. Aaron and I didn't know where we'd be in a year, crossing our fingers he'd be accepted to the U of U Nursing School
4. I had never stepped foot into a gym
5. I shamefully was shopping at "big women" stores.
6. Isabelle was our only something to help us see happiness in every day.
Today...
1. I'm 23 pounds lighter
2. I'm not nursing or pregnant.
3. Aaron is 30% done with the U of U Nursing School
4. I workout 4-6 times per week, and I LOVE it.
5. I don't have to have an "x" in my sizes anymore.
6. I feel in control of my life. My life brings me joy-every part of it.
I know that through hard work, dedication, committment, patience, and faith that the impossible is possible. This past year has been such a great one for me. Being a mother has helped open my eyes to the importance I have as a role-model. Being healthy has helped me realize how much better life can be with a little more confidence. Seeing Aaron accomplish his dreams brings both of us so much happiness. And of course, Isabelle is still the sweetest thing!
I look forward to what's in store for this year...other than the fact I'm another year closer to 30, eeeeek! Thank you to friends & family who have called, emailed and wished me Happy Birthday. I only hope I can remember to do the same for you!

Wow! What an accomplishment! I am trying to do that now and it's hard...how do you get to the gym 4x/week with a kid? It seems impossible for me! Any tips??
I hope you had a great birthday! You are one hot mama! I wish I went to the gym.
Nice Amy! What a great year, and I didn't realize it was your birthday, so happy birthday. I love working out, it is the best feeling, too bad this month school has been keeping me away. I can't wait until summer when I can work out more...also won't we both be happy when we can say we are 50% done with the nursing programs we are in (well technically your husband, but you support him, soo.. you know). keep up the good work! You're amazing!
Amy-happy birthday and wow-I am proud of you for the 23 pounds! That is not easy for anyone and you looked fantastic!
