I am hauling my *kitten* to the gym.I put in 15 miles in on the stationary bike yesturday. I plan to put in atleast 15 mile today and maybe some on the dreadmill.

my goal for today is to burn atleast 3500 calories. I am going to get some major bike miles in. I feel like i have cheated all of us this month so i am going to try to make up for the rest of the month.

I want a spectacular wedding because the first one was aweful. My mom made my dress it looked bad.My wedding took place in my mom's living room.We ate sandwiches and toasts were made with ginger ale.including the cost of my dress we may have spent $250.I wanted to back out the day of the wedding because I could not imagine…
