    I listen to the Katy Perry Pandora station when I work out. But what I usually do is play a show on my iPhone on Netflix. So far I have watched every epsiode of every season of 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and The Office (for the second time). Yesterday I started Arrested Development. I probably look like an idiot laughing to myself, but I don't care! It makes the time go by sooooooo fast.

    Um, I watch all of those and love em to death!! Especially Arrested Development. I'm thinking of watching it all the way through again (it will be my 3rd time). I swear it gets even funnier!

    Ok, MASSIVE panic! Got a letter this morning from the bridal shop saying that my dress is ready and I need to book a fitting ASAP! Wasn't expecting it back until early August so was hoping to have lost more weight by then!

    When you go in for your fitting, tell them that you are in the process of losing weight! I'm sure they deal with this issue a lot so they will know what to tell you! Don't fret girly :)

    Ooh, you reckon that'll work? I asked them to order a smaller size when I ordered the dress initially but I guess they get so many people saying they're going to lose weight and then don't that they didn't want to do it LOL

    How is everyone getting on with 30DS? I've been slacking on workouts over the past few days cos I had an assignment due in but it's all gone now! Persuaded my stepdad to have a go at level 2 with me tomorrow LOL he is my gym buddy!

    Re goals this week? Afraid I can't slack off with a dress fitting coming up (esp after I slacked off during the week before my essay deadline!) but I will try very very hard to be aware of alcohol BEFORE it enters my mouth lol

    Whoop for avoiding the beer! I find that the problem for me is mindfulness, or I've had some without even remembering I wasn't going to lol (makes me sound like I have a problem LOL)

    Song choices - really loving 'When Love Takes Over' (Kelly Rowlands/David Guetta) cos I feel like I can just dance through the exercise instead of concentrating on it! lol
    I also discovered (serious guilty pleasure here!) that I love running to the Wicked soundtrack, a lot of the songs are at just the right speed for me to plod to!

    I am glad you said that...I have not been able to really get into Arrested Development - although I've only made it about 4 episodes - so I will keep at it. But the other three are seriously my favorite shows. I have seen every episode of all three multiple times.

    @alteredorchid (sorry...I can't remember you name. I need to make a real name vs. MFP name spreadsheet)...I hope you show us pictures of your dress!! I am basically obsessed with weddings and wedding dresses. Like...looking-at-Facebook-albums-of-weddings-of-people-I-don't-even-know obsessed.

    @charc16 - looks like I have a bad memory when it comes to names too!! Anyway, arrested development is kind-of hard to get into because you have to really listen to the stuff they say. I think it's why it didn't do very well - most people either love that show or just don't understand lol

    It will be okay!!! You can always get measured again. Tell them that you are losing weight and see what they say! Doesn't hurt to ask :)

    I'm so excited about my supper that I have to pre-share it with you guys, LOL! I'm making stuffed bell pepper, but in light of me transitioning to vegetarian again- I gave it a twist!
    Half bell pepper (whatever color)
    stuff with a mix of tomatoes, onions, peppers, cheese (I use raw milk sharp cheddar), black beans, corn and quinoa or brown or wild rice (i'm serving my rice on the side because my mind will think I'm eating more)
    crack an egg on top (yeah an egg!)
    then bake until egg is set to desired consistency. You can also stuff with chorizo or soy chorizo.

    I CAN"T WAITTTT!!!

    Gayle that is an absolutely stunning dress!!

    Cristina, I tried making stuffed peppers once and lets say they didnt come out too good, my dog wouldnt even eat it! (I'm not a good cook) but these seem easy enough. With my boyfired (the cook) being gone for the evening it is something I might try myself with the chorizo!
