Fun Stuff

This past week has been pretty strange. I had a couple birthday dinners and cake and all yummy goodness. I was not really "following" weight watchers plans but guess what....I lost 3 more pounds!!! WOOHOO! I am now at 15 pounds that I have lost since March 6th! That is 7 weeks! Not too bad, but not where I wanted it to be. However, if I continue losing 2.5 to 3 pounds a week I can do this! PLEASE keep sending me good thoughts. Sometimes it is so hard not to "pig out" lol. (I have been trying to keep my challenge separate from my overall weight-loss...but DUDE! I am 3 pounds from hitting 50!!!)

Wedding stuff!
This week I am ordering invitations, save the dates, and place cards. Along with placing a deposit for our florist! I found one that I love and I can have EVERYTHING I want and save $400!!! He is AWESOME! Hmm what else? I dunno. I am so excited to get the florist out of the way. Every bride has something that means the most to them, ie decorations, flowers or photography. Well flowers are MY thing! I love them! I also refuse "silk" flowers. Anyone who had them, more power to you, but I LOVE the look of real flowers and love the smell! :)

Anyways talk to you all next week!!!

Tough

Hey there anyone who reads this. Last week I had a really rough week and gained 2 pounds...something about Sees' Easter eggs being around me and needing to eat them. LOL So I was too mad at myself to blog. SORRY!

Anyway this last week I did better, I lost the two pounds I gained and another 1.8 for a total of 3.8. I am now off track for my 100 pounds by like 5 pounds, so I will just have to get stricter again! As of now I am at only 12 pounds lost since I started the challenge.

Wedding planner has kinda been at a stand still. I am waiting to get appointments with other florists so I can make a decision on what I want to do. Other than that I don't think I have much news. Oooh I am going on a road trip to FL the last week of June and am so excited! I have never been to any of the states, on the way to Florida, past Texas. I pray this is more fun than the road trip just to Texas cuz that ride sucks! lol anywho...I think that is all. Talk to you all soon!

28 days into my challenge

Today marks my 28th day of my "challenge". I must be honest with everyone. I hurt my knee and I haven't been to the gym this entire month. My knees terrify me, and have since my surgeries 14 years ago, so I am losing weight without the gym. Since I am paying for my membership I am going to go and try to at least weight training because I hate paying for something I can't use. Zumba is out of the picture for my knee :( Anyways here come my monthly results. In 28 days I have lost a total of 12.8 pounds. I believe my goal was to lose 12 pounds a month (most months are 30-31 days) so I have achieved my first month! WOO-FREAKIN-HOO!!!! I can TOTALLY do this!!! I just now need to lose 3 pounds a week, MINIMUM. 87.2 pounds to go!

Okay, wedding news. This past week was filled with wedding news. Saturday my wedding planner, Lexi, and I met with a couple of florist in Riverside, we got quotes for the ones I want, and for ones that are cheaper. Both in my price range. Than we got an online quote from another florist and his prices are MUCH cheaper because he doesn't own a shop he does his flowers from home so there is no overhead pricing. I will be meeting with him and another florist later this month. Saturday night we had our food tasting at our venue. It was nice. We saw the tables set up for each bride there, and she gave me more options for my table and I love them. We decided on most of our choices, we will be going back in a couple months to finalize our "seafood" option. :)

Sunday one of my bridesmaids and I went to a bridal expo out in Anaheim. It was a lot of fun and even more walking. LOL. I received 2 bags of flyer's, coupons and candy. Lots of entries to win big items, but with my luck I won nothing. Oh well. Yesterday I received a sample invitation I was waiting for and Chris and I made our FINAL decision on the invites. :) I am so excited I loved it as much as I hoped, especially since they are $100 less than the ones we thought were going to be our invites. Today Chris and I decided that in lieu of wedding favors we will be making a donation to a couple of our favorite causes for the amount I budgeted for. This way we are doing something good for others, and the favors we would have bought don't get thrown away. I catered for too many years to know how many favors are tossed out! Well I think that's it for now...talk to you next week!
