Start of 2011

So far I am off to a pretty good New year. I have been doing good at eating healthy and making sure that I track everything I eat on Myplate. I am really proud that I did it 3 days in a row so far. I have made it to the gym once this week, which is pretty good since I have had a busy week. Tomorrow I am meeting with my work out buddy and we are going to get our workout plans started. I can't wait!!!

I mailed myself my STD and it came back to me in great condition. The barcode that the Post Office puts on the bottom did not cover up the wedding website address!!!! i was a little worried that it would but everything can back great. I am currently working on the cardbox and WE DO letters for the cake table. I will take picture of the process and make sure to post them.

Can't wait to play Just Dance tomorrow!!!

How time does fly....

Sure has been awhile since my last post. School was kicking my butt and plus all the work stress I just didn't have time. A few things have changed. I joined a gym two weeks ago and it feels great to work out again. Sad thing is that three weeks ago I sprained my ankle and am not able to work out hard core:( But I have been going every other day and getting a work out in. My goal right now is to lose 15lbs, once I do that I am treating myself to a purse I have had my eye on for awhile. FI also joined the gym with me, he has yet to go and work out...LOL.
UPDATE on Venue...FI and I have been planning on getting married in this beautiful park that we both love. I called them last month to ask about making my reservation and I found out I am not able to do it until Jan 2011!!! FI has offered to camp out at the office to make sure we get our date. Wish us luck!
UPDATE on dress...I have found another dress that I have fallen madly in love with. I truly believe that this could be the one, of course I haven't tried it on yet. I plan on waiting until May to start trying on dresses.

Other then that not much has been going on, on the wedding front. Happy I still have over a year to plan and save! I do have a rather large to do list to tackle but that will be for another post...until then...

..But I'm trying to lose weight

So over the past week I have been sick and wasn't able to get much done around the house because of this. My wonderful FI thought he would help me by buying some food this week. Well, all he bought was junk food. It is every where in the apt!! I can no longer stuff it all in on cupboard and act like it's not there. I did rather good at resisting the urge to eat it but I failed this morning. BIG FAIL! I know most of it was stress eating because I had to go back to work after having three days off...and I just don't like my job. Not only have I not been eating good but I haven't worked out in a week. It seems like I keep on finding excuses not to. My FI loves me the way I look but it's more then the weight for me, it's the health reasons too I want to get in better shape. So right now I am trying to accept the fact that I went against my diet and move on. Monday better watch out because I'm getting back into my workout hardcore. I would like to start sooner by I don't like working out in front of my FI. I will keep you posted on how it works.
470 days until I marry the sweetest man ever!!

The biggest loser?

I know that many brides want to lose weight before their big day and I'm right there with them. But over the past few months this has been a challenge. I am not losing weight but gaining it. Since Gerald and I moved in together I have gained at least 20 pounds! This is only since October! I have finally stopped gaining weight but now I have to try to lose all that I have gained. My current weight is 212. I still can't believe that number. I have never been this heavy before so it's a shock for me. Of course my wonderful FI says that I'm beautiful and everything but I don't feel that way. So today was the first real day of me eating healthy. SO NOT THE BEST DAY TO START THAT! On my way to work I get a flat tire, which makes me late. I get to work and nothing seems to be working write and everyone is in a bad mood. But I am holding strong and not even looking at all the junk food I could eat. I need to be strong this time. The hardest part about this is all the junk food we have in the house. Gerald loves his fruit snacks and Little Debbie snacks too much for me to take them away. So I have decided to tape pictures of wedding gowns to the cupboard. I really hope that helps me some. I also am going to try to do the Wii fit and the 30-day shred five times a week. If I want to see results I'm going to have to start working harder for them. Right now my goal is to lose 7LBS by the end of February. Wish me luck!
