BEA UUUUUU TI FUL!

What a gorgeous day today!!!! Took Izzy bike riding while Alleyna and I walked the track by Lewis and Clark gradeschool. Fun times. :)

Down 2lbs today! Not too bad. I expressed my concern of my weight loss speed to the TD team and I was told to try cutting out an extra 100 calories and up your cardio speed/incline by .5 and see if that helps. We shall see. I'm not trying to turn a progress into a race by any means, but I do have a wedding dress to look amazing in you know. ;)

Speaking of wedding, got the flowers all squared away, as well as booking hair appointments for everyone. Catering and Rehearsal Dinner are this weekend. I also ordered samples of an invitation I liked from an online website. We'll see how they turn out. Everything is finally starting to come together, it's so bad afterall. Now, ask me that same question when we're about a month out. Haha.

Off to go make dinner! Tonight's special...Cashew Chicken with Lemon/Sea Salt Asparagus. Yum-O!

Adios amigos! =)

Not for the gentlemen's eyes....

Hello all!

What a crazy, busy week!!! Work has been complete chaos this week. We are converting to a new system ( I don't have to, I was trained on the new system only), so everyone is a little frazzled. I am officially out of training! I was assigned my own regional office Friday. I am in charge of anything that comes from the areas of West Virginia, North and South Carolina. Maybe I'll get some cool spiffs, say perhaps some UNC Bball tickets???? (Even though they SUCK this year.) Ah, the corporate life. ;)

In other news, wedding planning is coming a long nicely. We have the wedding cake secured now as of Wed. Still can't decide on a damn flavor yet. Oh well, we have a little over 5 months. (trying not to have a panic attack over that last part there.) Hopefully we can nail the catering and alcohol this week. I also got in touch with a girl I graduated with (Leigh Jacobs) and she is going to be our florist extraordinaire! I'm excited to meet with her Tuesday to see what we come up with.

Last but not least, FAST. FML I hate this part. Lol. I gained a pound this week. However, in discussing it with TD, we are chalking it up to TOM's flight coming in this week. (No joke, that's what he called it. LOL) TOM stands for Time of Month. Hahaha. He says he FREQUENTLY sees this from week to week and I shouldn't worry. If I have been following my plan, I should be down 5-7 lbs next week EASY. Which, I have, so yay!

That's pretty much all that's new and newsworthy. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!!

Love <3

This might be a novel....

It's been a really long time since I've posted anything on here. So, here we go!

A lot of exciting things are happening around the house. Izzy lost her first tooth, twice! Once out of her mouth, and second in the carpet. The tooth fairy still made an appearance, and once the tooth was found, the tooth fairy told her she could keep it. ;)

I'm doing pretty well with the FAST diet. I'm down a total of 17.2 lbs. I hope to get my 20lb bracelet this week. My grandma gave us her treadmill that she doesn't use. Now I have no excuse to work out when Andy gets home from work later than planned. I used the excuse of "It's too late to go to the gym." WAY too often. It's time to kick it in high gear. Not only is the wedding only a little over 5 months away, but I should have lost way more weight than I have by now. So...that is my goal for March. Lose 15 lbs.

Speaking of wedding, I have been getting a lot done. I bought my dress, the girls all ordered their dresses as well, secured the photographer (shout out to Jessi!), secured the cake, reception hall, and decided what flowers I want. It just seems like so much to do! I have to keep my stress level in check! It will all come together.

Below is a pic of my dress and the bridesmaids dresses. Andy never looks at this thing, so he'll never know. Tee hee.

Yeah, it's a "destination" gown, but it's exactly what I wanted. Simple, yet elegant, and lightweight! Haha.

Bridesmaids dresses, solid black with a pool colored sash.

Got a new car...2005 Malibu Maxx LS V6. It's fully loaded, really nice. It's not my SUV, but hey. Once the PT is paid off by the end of the year, we'll be looking for another new car.

That's about it for now. Tootles for now!

Oh! and go NU girls and KU guys!! HOOP IT UP!
