Hey ladies sorry i'm a day late! Its been a crazy few weeks!
I've been having trouble getting back on track between the black out and then getting my mind back in the set of whats really good for you and what's really bad.

Almost went for a delicious looking chocolate chip cookie yesterday but i slapped my hand! :)

I only lost technically a half of pound last week because the prior week i gained a pound! It doesn't look like i'll make my first goal of turkey day being at 180. and i think that's a reason i've been kind of dropping everything. So i'm going to take away the set dates i would like and just have it as a goal to reach for when i reach it!

Wedding: How's the wedding planning coming along? what are you having trouble with the most? Wedding colors? Flowers? ect!

Goal for this week! Get my *kitten* back on track!!! :)

What's your goal of the week?!

    I hear ya! My goal for this week is to make it my best week ever! I just blogged about hitting my first 30 days here on MFP, and the fact that exercise has been lacking. So goal this week is to workout for 30-60 minutes every day. Also, to keep drinking my water.

    Wedding planning -- we decided over the weekend to switch plans -- again -- to have a christmas wedding next year, rather than a summer one. Which gives me 4 extra months to plan, a full year which is nice, AND 4 extra months to get down to that goal weight. So I'm now much less stressed!

    Colors -- red, silver, black
    Theme -- christmas/winter
    Flowers -- I really love peonies, but I don't think they'll be in season. Carnations?

    Steppign back from the hardcore exercise do to the torn tendon in my foot... but still eating healthy... won't even talk about weight since I seem to be retaining water... will get back to you when I weight in next Monday lol

    as far as plans... we have our reception/ceremony site booked... we have since Sept. now we are talking about dresses, bridesmaid dresses and how to get the men to match...
    Our colours are autumn colours so Cocoa/Truffle Brown, with Sunflower yellows and splashes of Orange... my Reception site comes with decorations so I discussed with the lady there what will be done... lots of Autumnal foliage... I saw a picture from an autumn wedding she did LAST year and it blew my mind away... SO EXCITED...

    working on guest lists... whether of not to send out Save the Dates... or just invites... and discussing my dress... I found the dress I want... of course will probably have to TAKE IT IN before the October 6th wedding date... going to get the dress in February if it is still there... so far it is still there... they don't have many plus size brides in the shop I went too... if not we will finds something I am sure :D

    exciting :D

    The weight is def not falling off. I am tracking and I just can't eat less lol. But i feel healthy!! :) I have started jogging every now and then so hopefully that will help. I have a 5 mile run on thanksgiving that I am terrified of.. I have not ran more than 3.2 miles in my life.. no clue what I was thinking. But as long as I finish I will be happy.

    As for wedding stuff.. I feel like I have a ton done, and a ton more to do!! I have 6 months :):). Got the dress, bridesmaid dresses, guest list (which keeps changing), save the dates, location, officiant, grooms gifts, some bridesmaid gifts, and flower girl pail (its a watering can from my gma!). Im having a country wedding, and my bridesmaids and flower girl are all wearing cowboy boots :). The wedding is outside and reception is in the two story barn. My colors are light blue, yellow and white. Flowers will be daisies (I think, have settled on this one yet).

    We had a HUGE CHECK this week :). We went and picked out wedding bands!! The only downfall is my engagement ring was a size too big so it is off getting sized for 10 days!!! Ahh... I keep looking down and thinking I lost it, so I put a different ring on that finger for peace of mind. Next is the grooms and groomsmen attire! :)
