Happy snow day!  Like most places this year we are once again buried in snow.  No need to hibernate though.  Sledding today was a blast and a great workout.  I also got a great does of Vitamin D out in the sun!
Just wanted to share my most recent photo shoot pics with you.  I usually do a shoot once a year to see my progress and have some fun.  These are from almost a year ago.  Can't wait to do another shoot in May.  I have made some great progress this year.
If any of you are interested in my plan shoot me an email I would be happy to get you started!

Thank you Jason Halbert LLC for more fabulous photos!

Mist with cooking spray, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 ounces lean pork tenderloin and cook for 3 to 4 minutes a side, or until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.
