Love it there! S...The Riverwalk sounds sooo good! Love it there! So...I love reading your comments because they always make me feel good. You are very sweet. First I have to tell you what kind of camera I have. You asked a while back and I failed to respond until now. We have a Sony Alpha 300. I got it 2 1/2 years ago so I am sure there is an updated version, but I have truly loved it. I usually use the standard lens that came with it, but we also have a 75-300mm which is fantastic. I love to take pictures, but I'm not very good at it...having a good camera helps! <br /><br />As far as my work out routine goes...cycling has really helped me tone up. Out of everything I have tried, it seems to be the most productive for me. I love to ride for miles with my family, but those rides are few and far between so...we got a bike trainer for Christmas. I hook my bike up to it and watch trashy TV while I ride for an hour or two in my bedroom after my kids are in bed. As Jillian Michaels likes to say...my arms are totally "engaged" while my legs are working. My arms are flexed while holding myself up so I get the benefit of burning more calories. I was into the 30 day shred for a while and randomly throw it in every now and then. I also TRY to stay at or below 1400 calories if I am at home just doing my daily thing...having said that I splurg a lot! Dinner with friends, special occasions...I eat what I want. I still have problem areas I need to work on, but doing these things has made a difference since last year. <br /><br />I know this is such a LONG answer. Sorry. I am no expert at all so take what I say with a grain of salt! Ha! <br /><br />I really really really appreciate the compliments. <br /><br />GretchanThe Jenningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316907083917996801noreply@blogger.com
