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!
