Good morning!
Wow is the weather ever gloomy here today! It is grey, grey, grey. The nice thing last night was that it was still light during dinner time, which means there will be better ‘dinner pictures’ from here on out. The worst part about photography is the no natural light photography!
Eric has a Canon 40-D SLR and he is going to show me how to use it so I can start using it for the website to make my pictures even better! I’m excited :)
His camera:
He got this camera a couple years ago after reading tons and tons of reviews on cameras. It was supposed to be top of the line in its’ price range (~$1400). Why am I not using this everyday? Trust me, I’m as confused as you are! lol. Hopefully he will teach me this week!
Wedding Dress Plan
Some of you have asked me whether I plan on continuing with my wedding dress plan/healthy swaps once the wedding dress photo shoot is over to maintain my weight loss. My answer is: I don’t think I will need to. Since I have started working out again after 7 weeks of being off exercise, I believe that I will be burning enough calories so that I won’t have to continue to make many modifications. The biggest modification I have made is cutting out unnecessary snacks at night- that was the straw that broke the camel’s back! Now that I have gotten rid of this habit, I believe that along with exercise is all I will need to stay on top of. The healthy diet swaps were just a way to ‘kick start’ the wedding dress plan seeing as I only had 2 weeks. I am 4 days away!
At least I can zip the dress up now!
Oh She Glows Before and After
For those of you interested, Eric put together a before and after of the OSG design!
Click to enlarge!
I think we did a good job of maintaining the concept of Oh She Glows, but making it fresh and cleaner looking. Perfect for SPRING, right? :D
Breakfast:
This morning’s green monster was a new mixture for me!
The contents:
- 2 organic kale leaves
- 1 handful baby organic spinach
- 1/2 cup soy milk
- 1 cup Almond Breeze in Unsweetened
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
- 1/2 cup frozen organic blueberries
- 1 Tbsp flax
I can’t say I have ever had pineapple + blueberries mixed together! It was pretty good and I think I will make it again.
I feel energized and ready to have a productive Tuesday!
I’m off to do some ‘test’ baking this morning! See you later for pics!
PS- I heart Windows Live Writer!!!!!

Oooh exciting about the camera and love the before and after. The new site looks great!
Dempsters Ancient Grains is a staple in this house – lowest sodium content I can find in a good bread – also tried both flavors of squares and they are absolutely delicious.
I love Dempsters BodyWise bread and would love to try the Healthy Way Apple Cinnamon Fresh Squares!
Can’t wait for pictures from the new camera! I’m sure they’ll be beautiful!

I’m sad I’m not in Canada! :)
I love the new website!
I would definitely use the coupon to get the cranberry squares :) I always love to try new things!!
I have had the blueberry/pineapple combination before, and it is really good.
And I would love to try the Apple Cinnamon Fresh Squares too!
(And I love the get glowing button, I just notice it)
Hi, you’re luck with the weather. I live in Edmonton and it is -30, but feels like -42!! At the airpeort it is -52. Yikes. Love the new website, congrats.
for the giveaway (I’m Canadian, yeah!), I’d like to try the Apple cinnamon fresh squares the most! Wee! :)
Yaaaay for Canadian give-aways! ;)
I would love to try the multigrain bread. In fact I’ve been eyeing it at the grocery store for a couple of weeks now!
I would like to try the healthy way multi grain sliced bread the most! It sounds delicious :)
Hi, Angela!
I’ve tried the new fresh squares and we only eat Dempsters 100% whole grain bread at home. I think I would like to try the new pro cardio healthy way bread. It looks darn tasty!!!
Thanks for running the contest!
i think i’d like to try the multigrain bread! though the squares look good too, i tend to prefer to make that sort of stuff myself.
My hubby has that camera too, I need to use it more!
I really want to try the granola bar type squares they have out in the Cranberry flavour. I’ve already tried apple cinnamon and they are DIVINE!
Hi Angela!
I really like to try the new pro cardio healthy way bread.
Thanks

Oh my goodness. Camera envy!
Isn’t WLW great? Only problem is that I still can’t drag and drop photos from my camera into the writer, so I have to upload them on to my computer FIRST and then go from there. It’s still faster, but there are still a couple of glitches to work out. I haven’t been able to download my theme either into it.
The Dempsters product i’d like to try is the cranberry squares! They sound so good!
I have that camera, only the version down from it! I love it!
Love the new look for the blog, very fresh looking :)
Yay a Canadian contest – I would love to try the Healthy Way Apple Cinnamon Fresh Squares, they look yummy!
Learning to use a digital SLR isn’t too hard, you should have it in no time. That’s the only camera I own right now, although mine isn’t as nice as that!
I would want to try the multigrain bread, because I love multigrain breads!
I have not even tried the Dempster’s Healthy Way Breads yet! I have seen them so I would try anything really! :)
I haven’t tried the new Dempster’s products but I would try the apple cinnamon squares!
