    I interviewed for a second job today, it went pretty well. I hope I get it so I can get Operation: Decent Wedding Budget underway.

    I did horrible eating today. I don't do well on my days off from work.

    Congratulations on everyone doing so well this week! :drinker:


    I slept through my workout this morning...I stayed up til Midnight reading The Help. smackhead.gif



    We are inviting about 120 people but are expecting around 70ish (I don't think a lot of the out of town family will make it) We haven't given the parents any say in the guest list, this is our day and we want our family and close friends with us. I don't want to have to be making small talk with people I barely know. So far, everyone has been very understanding.

    We also decided not to do a meal, we are doing the ceremony and reception in the same place so it is going to maximize party time. :laugh: We'll have snacks but food was a big cost that I decided against.

    I think I am going to walk down the aisle to "Marry Me" by Train.wub.gif


    I have not been doing so good on the mini challenges. Sugar has always been my downfall. :embarassed: I will do the plank challenge tonight...I actually like planks. :glasses:

    I'm totally failing at being healthy this week. Blah. I can't even do well in the challenge I came up with.

    So i took measurments for the first time and was a bit disappointed with the high numbers but i dont have any measurements to compare them to so im sure that they have gone way down from when i started.

    Wedding stuff: Me and my soon to be hubby are getting married in Pigeon Forge at Immanuels Barn. The reception is going to be at the cabin my parents are renting for the week. Everyone in the wedding party including me are all wearing cowboy boots. Just got bridesmaids dresses and they will look so cute with boots! I can hardly wait! But i do need all of the time to lose all the weight i can. Got about 50 to get to my goal but i would be happy with 40 more lbs lost. Im not picky!

    Got my workout in even though I really really wanted to sleep in.

    Didn't have time for the planks though, will have to do those after work.

    Does anyone else picture their wedding dress when they are pushing through a workout?

    I think I found where I want my wedding to be. I think the Tonto Natural Bridge would be wonderful. The park closes at 6 but it would be awesome if I could get an exception to have a reception in the beautiful giant house they have on site and houses the gift shop. I'm pretty sad because this site is on the budget crises chopping block. At the very least, we can get our engagement pictures there.

    Any suggestion on this week's mini challenge? I'm kind of zoned out of ideas.

    I forgot to do my weigh in and measurements this morning. :embarassed:

    I'll have to do them later.


    Have y'all decided what time of the day you will be having your wedding? We are going back and forth with this and I am not sure what to do.

    Originally we were going to do it at sunset. Now, we are thinking about cutting the food budget, so an afternoon finger snack food type deal is more feasible. I definitely won't have a morning wedding.

    What time of day did you choose and why?

    I do that too, maybe not every day but a few times a week. Maybe once a day might motivate me a little more. Thanks! :drinker:

    Sorry I've been MIA this weekend. I've been on vacation. The last couple days I went way over calories, but when I weighed in this morning the scale read a loss of almost two pounds. I'm not sure how that happened.

    We are thinking about 4 in the afternoon for the ceremony! We haven't decided yet if we are doing a big meal, sandwiches or snack food... We are not doing a big event, lol. We are doing the ceremony in the same place we are doing the reception!

    Had a bad weekend! According to the scale I gained 4 pounds since Saturday! Could have been all that drinking I did for fiance's bday... lol, but I will weigh in tomorrow and do measurements!

    Hello everyone!! I am new to all this. I am getting married on October 22nd and I would love some support on looking gorgeous in my wedding dress. May I join you? I am not sure how all of this works, and how did you all edit your weight loss tracker and get it on your post...I have so much to learn.

    I did my measurements and I can't get them to input in the spreadsheet. :grumble:

    And my boobs seem to be getting bigger. :sad: I wonder if I am measuring them right? :huh:

    Ok, got it. I had to keep closing out and entering in 1 measurement at a time before it locked up. Weird. :huh:

    I am going to have to step up my workouts. At this rate, I won't be anywhere near my goal for the wedding. :brokenheart:

    sorry to be so silent lately! I also have been on vacation and suprisingly only gained half a pound in the land of seafood, butter and cream based soups. So now I need to step it up! I'l add in my measurements tonight! I'm almost a month away...ahhh!

    and to reply to the other topic about thinking of yourself in your dress, I do it all the time. I have three pics of me in my dress on my phone and I think I look great but would love to lose a few more...so when I'm running or not wanting to do sit ups I think of those pictures. It really helps!
