A New Beginning

I have not been posting consistently, sorry! I feel as though I’ve been stretched pretty thin lately (figuratively, not literally, unfortunately) with wedding plans and just everything I want to do but don’t have time for. I got down to 158 last Friday, and while I was happy about that, it wasn’t really a great day. I had a pretty annoying fight with two of my bridesmaids the night before and I was just really upset. I barely slept Thursday night, but I also had skipped dinner, so seeing the 158 on Friday wasn’t much of a surprise.

The bridesmaid fight thing was all about the bachelorette party. I have wanted a bachelorette party just because it seemed like a lot of fun, and I can’t usually get everyone I know together like that without their boyfriends. I don’t dislike anyone’s boyfriends or husbands or anything, but sometimes it’s just more fun without them. But, unfortunately, out of four bridesmaids, I have two that don’t care at all. Then, of the two that do care, one is a “get it done” type of person and really takes the reigns, and the other needs hand holding to do even the simplest task. So basically, I have 1 useful bridesmaid. My useful bridesmaid was not present last Thursday, which is probably why things got so out of hand. I had invited the two over for dinner, because we often have dinners on Thursdays, and also so the bachelorette party could be figured out. It was 3 weeks away at this point, but a lot of people were asking me what was going on.

So, we’re sitting in my family room and I’m making a guest list, because [apparently] this is something my bridesmaids (who are one of my best friends and my sisters) don’t know me well enough to know how to do. Read the rest of this entry »

I am getting annoyed with this 160.0. I don’t think I’ve ever even gotten the same number on the scale 3 days in a row before! This is getting old though, really. I guess I need to do some research on breaking a plateau. I really don’t understand what is going on. I literally went out to eat every single day last week. My eating was horrible on Saturday and Sunday, too. Yet, I didn’t gain anything. So far this week, my eating has been good, so why hasn’t anything changed? I’ve been telling myself for a long time now that I’ll get out of my weight loss efforts what I put into them. Well, last week was a pretty sorry showing, yet I didn’t really pay for it on the scale. Now this week, I’m back on track and being focused, yet still nothing. That is not fair, man…

Anyway, did you watch the Biggest Loser last night? How annoying was it that they didn’t actually end the weigh in? I’ll be honest, all the artificial drama on the show is really just starting to tick me off. I watch the show for moments like when Mike gave his grocery prize to Aubrey. That was really sweet and it’s nice to see some genuinely nice people on TV. Plus, the look of pride on Ron’s face when he heard about it was just adorable. I really like Ron, I feel bad that he isn’t making progress as quickly as everyone else because of his knee or whatever. He seems like a genuinely nice person, and I like to see nice people succeed. I like Mike too, of course. I would love to see Mike win, but I don’t know if that’s likely. If I had to bet, I’d put my money on Tara.

But, back to my point… Biggest Loser producers, if you are reading this (yeah, right!), please cut down on the artificial drama. Read the rest of this entry »

**Warning, Rant Ahead**

I have not posted in awhile, mostly because my wedding has taken away my will to live, along with my ability to focus on anything else for more than a few minutes.  Luckily the wedding is in 25 days, and then I get to go on a vacation and generally return to regular life.  I really just can’t wait, I resent this wedding so much, everything about it has been nothing but a pain in my ass, even the parts that supposedly I didn’t have to plan.

For example, the bachelorette party and shower.  The stupid shower… first I had to go to the restaurant and try the food there before they’d book anything.  That would be fine, btu I’m busy and just don’t give a shit one way or the other.  Then, despite having my guest list for the wedding, I had to go through and tell my mom who to invite to the shower.  Then I had to get Rob’s mom to call my mom about it, which took a long series of emails and nagging.  It’s just annoying.  The same thing is happening with the bachelorette party.  I have to go through and tell my sister who to invite, find all of their email addresses, tell her what bars to go to, what limo companies we can potentially use, what we’re going to eat for dinner… umm, and how is this not all my responsibility, again?  Why am I even doing this?  Honestly, I don’t have time to waste on a stupid party anyway, certainly not a party I have to plan.

Don’t even get me started on my future in-laws and their total uselessness…  Read the rest of this entry »
