Time to Grab The Bull By The Horns

Published on September 7, 2012, by in Getting Fit, Uncategorized.

Last year with my 10 year anniversary approaching, I decided to take the weight loss bull by the horns and get down to business on getting back to my pre-mom weight.  Many of you may recall that I was successful, and I was actually able to hit my goal weight just days before we headed off to Las Vegas to celebrate our anniversary. While I was able to make it through the winter months without packing any of the weight back on, like many of you have probably experienced, I started to slack on my diet and my workouts.  I got too confident and comfortable, and I definitely forgot how good it felt to have reached my goal and some of the weight came back.

My Little Backyard Garden

Inspired by my 7 yr old, this year I am attempting to grow and nurture a garden. Knowing my limitations (and the massive number of household plants I’ve failed to keep a live), I am starting small with just a few items – some from seeds and some from actual plants.

This morning I had the chance to participate in a photo walk at the Cincinnati Museum Center. I captured a ton of photos during the behind-the-scenes tour and am sharing them below. Two things stood out during this tour: 1) Cincinnati Museum Center is a gem and an amazing piece of art deco history. We are truly lucky to have it in Cincinnati 2) It needs some TLC. From water damage above the rotunda to cracks in it’s brick exterior and ancient windows, it needs some attention. Union Terminal, where Cincinnati Museum Center lives, was originally built in 1933 and served as a train station. It wasn’t until 1990 that is it opened as Cincinnati Museum Center.

The other night on the way home from the opening of Summerfair Cincinnati’s Emerging Artist Exhibition, SM asked if he could use my iPhone to take some pictures.  I assumed he was inspired by the gallery show, and handed it over.  Here are two of the images I found on my phone this morning. I know I am biased, but  I think they are  just beautiful.
