Sneaky Little Thing Isn't It?

I can hardly believe the wedding is a little over 2 months away. I am sure there must be a ton of things for me to do. I just can't remember what. I really, really need to sit down and figure out what still needs to be done. I keep saying I am going to do that and then I don't.

It's just that I did so much of it such a long time ago. I have put it on the back burner. But it is time to start cooking!!

Things I know I need to do:
1. Decide on what Chris will be wearing
2. Decide on a 2nd reading (Any good suggestions? I am looking for a poem.)
3. Fill out the Event form the hotel gave me
4. Order parent gifts
5. Figure out what we are going to give the men in the wedding
6. Pick up invites (MB?) and assemble
7. Find pretty stamps
8. Lose a million pounds

How's that for a list off of the top of my head. I am sure there are many more tasks to be added.

The Waiting Game

Can we just get married already??? Would anyone hate me if I just scrapped it all, took my husband to be to a park and got married? Did anyone else feel this way before they got married?

The day is slowly getting closer and honestly I do still have a few important things to do. I really need to refocus and get those things done. I just did so much so early that for a while I felt like I had nothing to do. But its time to decide if I really want to bother with bubbles for everyone or just forget about it and keep it simple.

But then again, maybe we'll elope :)

P90X BABY!

In order to get ready for our upcoming nuptials, Chris and I have decided to start a new workout regimen. P90X is not for the feint of heart. We've completed four days so far and it is definitely extreme. The program is based on muscle confusion and so for 90 days you do different workouts that they provide and eat their diet and apparently you look like the people up above. At least that is what I am hoping.


Actually, Tony Horton is an excellent instructor - Funny, Encouraging, and definitely Motivating. It is serious work though that is for sure. I couldn't roll over in bed after day 2. Seriously. My abs just wouldn't work. Then once I did get out of bed, I hobbled everywhere. There is no way we won't see results with this workout. (And it is fun to do something together)

Weirdness

So I am getting married in 4 months and 1 day. Woohoo!!

Funny thing has happened though. A new Martha Stewart Wedding magazine came out the other day and I had no desire to buy it. There must be something wrong with me. That has been my favorite magazine for over 10 years. I eventually did buy it because I felt like I couldn't miss one in my collection. (How silly is that?)

To be honest, I don't have any huge expectations of what the day is going to be like. Yes, I want a beautiful gown, pretty hair, and great pictures. But you know what? I just want to get married. Some days I think Chris and I should just go down to the courthouse and do it. What would be so different from how we are now? And think of the money we could save.

I can't wait to be his wife.

Dreaming

So the nightmares have started. I have a few dreams a month about the wedding. Usually it is time for the wedding and things just aren't going as planned. Last night the photographer was no where to be seen as well as the minister. My hair was a mess and no one would help me. I ended up putting it in a ponytail.

Yikes. :)

Up-Dating

Chris and I have found out how important it is to have 'date' night. Sure we go out to eat often, but having a more romantic night is important. What does more romantic mean? It means talking about things other than the daily grind- nothing about the color of bridemaid dresses or procedures and patients. We have also decided to turn the TV off earlier instead of watching it until we are falling asleep. Its mighty hard to be romantic while watching ALIAS or Battlestar Gallactica.

Another happy note- I received the pictures I had ordered from our enagement photo session. I plan on making a picture collage. They were kind of expensive, but the quality of the photos was worth it.

Less than 5 months to go!!

135

135.......135.........135.......135

That is my goal weight. Yes, I've got a ways to go, but I can do it. Instead of starving myself, I am going to work out more. I am watching what I eat, but that isn't doing it for me. I need something more. I walk the dog every day, but last summer when I lost a good amount of weight I was running more and took the dog out at least twice a day. Since that seemed to work last time, I am going to get back to it. The warmer weather is definitely a motivator. I also bought a new pair of running shoes (my old ones actually had holes in them) and I bought one of those Nike + iPod things that into your iPod and talks to you over your music. I haven't set it up yet, but I will this weekend. All good motivators.

I also want to find a henna tatoo place and have 135 painted on my left arm in a beautiful design. I probably won't go that far, but I just might if I happen to go by a place that does that.

Most of us are always trying to lose a little weight. It's a constant battle. Sometimes I wish I would just be happy with my body and how it looks. I got pretty close this past summer. But now of course there is "the wedding". If there is one time in my life that I should be able to lose weight, I feel like it should be now. I don't want to look back at photos and think, "Why didn't I work a little harder? Why did I eat that extra piece of cake?" I want to look at those pictures and think, "My arms looks good and I don't have two chins." Its like training for a marathon. The training sucks, but the feeling you get from accomplishing something so great more than makes up for it.

On that note...Anyone want to train for a marathon? I need more than myself to keep me on track for that goal.
