Life via Instagram

I've mentioned before just how much I love Instagram.  It's almost replaced my blog in the sense that it's become a fun way to chronicle life as it's happening.  I take a pic, I share it IG, post a little caption and there ya go.  I love that I can stay connected with my friends and family who are on IG too and it's almost like sending a picture text to all your friends at once. People can comment on your photos and you with theirs and it's neat to see life from another person's perspective.

My friend Julie has been doing weekly Instagram posts which I thought was a fun thing to do.  She gave me her blessing to be a copycat (thanks, Julie!) so I thought today I'd share my week in phone pics via Instagram!


Monday:  Started my week off trying to eat better lunches again. I've had either salads or wraps for lunch pretty much all week long!



Tuesday...I seriously have no business trying to fit in crocheting these days but on Tuesday, I got the wild hare to make a cowl for myself.  I've seen a couple of bloggers who've been making and selling the cutest cowls and I thought I could save myself the $45 make my own. I love how this one turned out and I plan on making a few more when I can in between life and school. :)

















Wednesday...was Halloween. My least favorite day of the year.  My neighbors happen to think the opposite of that day and went all out with decorations and, even made a haunted house in their backyard.  This was one of their decorations on their side yard and just happens to be what my girls see when they look out their bedroom window! :( Needless to say, the blinds have been staying shut for the last few days!


Thursday...This is my sister's doggie and we've been watching her all week. She's such a good girl and my girls love that she's been here.  I think she'll be excited when it's time for her to go home though, because my girls are loud and very rambunctious!



Friday...I took this photo today to document having lost 40 lbs. I should have added a picture to my last weight loss update but I just didn't have time to take the pic.  Try not to mind the yucky mirror! One of these days I really should get someone else to take my picture!


I've taken so many more pics than this this week these were just the highlights. Hopefully I can make it a weekly habit to do a recap post like this. This was fun!

You look wonderful and happy.

Keep up the good work.

Your hard work and good choices are paying big benefits, just like your sacrifices in your school work will do !

Yay for an instagram post! It makes it so easy to update the blog and those that aren't on it.

I love the cowls that you make. They look so pretty! I don't have one. I have scarfs, but I never wear them, since I don't know how. Lol!

Congrats again on the weight loss. I think you look amazing!
