Not so great..

So I have some not so great news.

I went to church yesterday, and after church one of the ladies approached me to take me undergarmet shopping for my big day. So we proceeeded to a few stores. Went to Victoria Secrets and found a bra.. but not of those suck your belly in things. lol When I tried on my dress... it didn't fit. Let me repeat that for the slower ones, did not fit!!!

I know that's totally crazy because I just had it on a week or two ago and everything fit fine then. But regardless it was embarssing and made me sad :( Thankfully, she is a woman I've known my entire life so it was not a huge deal, but still... My mom was pissed instead of sad.. lol. So I would like to add a disclaimer to my sad story... (or an excuse).. that our after church lunch was at El Camino. It's a mexican restaraunt (obviously) lol. and I had some rice and beans adn chicken.. so bloating took place, I'm sure. AND It's almost that time of the month for me.. so I honestly think it's just because I was bloated, but regardless I have to take some action..

So I have 95 (I think?) days until my wedding. Today will be day #1 of getting my arse (excuse the language) back into shape. I'm going to continue the Nutrisystem that I bought and stopped eating because I didn't want to waste money... because I'd eat like two nutrisystem meals and then go out to eat for the other meal, and I would totally defeat the purpose! But now I will actually use it.

So Once again I'm calling on my wonderful, fantabulous, inspiring blog friends to push my butt in the right direction! I need some encouragement right about now :)
Thanks girls!!!

Sidebar: Does anyone know where to find cheap damask print?!?!?

Day #1:
Breakfast: Nutrisystem eggs with a slice of tomato, green onion, and tad bit of cheese. (@8:30)
Snack: Low n Fit (or whatever they're called) strawberry yogurt. (@12)
Lunch: Nutrisystem Corn Chowder chilli, steamed brocolli, and 2 tspn of mayo (@ 4)
*I haven't eaten dinner yet but will when I get home from church.*
Dinner: green salad with romaine lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumber, and italian dressing
Gym: No gym today.. I gotta go to church. But I did park really far from work and my interview and took the stairs :)

Also, I plan to continue the Nutrisystem with adding fresh veggies and fruits. Then soon I will take the Alli pills with them to do double duty weightloss. And since school is over (and I put in my 2 weeks notice for my weekend reception job) I plan to spend more one on one time with the gym :)

Any more ideas? Should I try something new?

*Teaser*

And here is a shirt I bought from Etsy.com from Mrs. Bling. It's super cute!

Double Digits!

SHUT UP! I receive tons of junk mail in my email right now because of all the things I'm subscribed to.. but I totally let it sit in there in case, by chance, I ever have a free minute to check them out. So the Knot.com has just sent my an email stating that I have 97 days left until my wedding...





Ladies and Gents.. we have officially hit double digits. That is CRAZY! I have not done any wedding planning items these past few weeks because of all my family drama and my little brother. So I have to jump back on the bandwagon.. like now.



These are the things we've accomplished thus far:


* Save the Date cards were sent out


* Invitations were ordered and have arrived.. just not assembled yet.


* Ordered cameras to place on table and they arrive.


(also, ordered a cute hat that says bride lol)


* Venue/ food/ceremony spot is picked out and reserved


*I'm stretching for more.... uummmm... My nonni is adding wonderful things to my dress and it is finally coming along. I CANNOT wait to see it finished. It's seriously going to be stunning.


*We have a pastor reserved.. my daddy :)


* I'm asking Pastor Greg Terry tomorrow if he can assist so my dad can walk me down the asile.


*Had two sets of engagement pics taken. Second one was yesterday and we'll see how those pics came out.. but I enjoyed the photographer A LOT!





And that's the list folks, lol. I think I may have a girls lunch in the next few weekends to just get everyone who has offered to help and we'll sit down and do some DIY items... like damask the votives, pick out flowers (we;re ordering wholesale), set up invites, etc. That sounds like a plan!





Any other ideas?? Help! lol Also, we're still trying to find our honeymoon place and destination.. we know we want all inclusive, adn cheap! lol





At least I dont look like this bride:

Word!

"I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love,

and I meditate on your decrees.
Remember your word to your servant,

for you have given me hope.
My comfort in my suffering is this:

Your promise preserves my life."

Psalm 119:48-50

Thanks Tammy for the inspiration.. I needed it!!! I love this song too.. and it speaks wonders for my life right now... and everyone's life for that matter. We do serve an amazing God! (not to mention, I love Jeremy Camp!)

"Holy Fire burn away

My desire for anything

That is not of You

And is of me

'Cause I want more of you

And less of me."

More.. Teasers!

So this week is crazy.. lots of family drama.. so pray for my family and my younger brother! I have faith in the Lord that things will get better!! Until then, here's more from the e-pic session! <3
