So I just spent the better part of my lunch break updating the wedding invite list. We moved the date to 8/23… still a Saturday from 11am - 4pm. So that gives us approx. 6.5 months. this means it’s time to do the invites and RSVPs.

I totally started this post hours ago and now it’s almost time to leave. Oh well!

With 8 months til my wedding, I find myself not getting anywhere closer to my goal of losing 80 before my wedding. I’d be happy if I lost 60, to be honest. I don’t get what I’m doing wrong. I seldom allow myself Tostitos, I’ve cut back on the ice cream by a lot, and when I get into baking fits, I bring stuff to work and demand people from multiple departments eat the stuff. I just don’t get it.

To run down what I typically eat: Fruit for lunch (banana or grapes typically) and salads or wraps for lunch.

For dinner, I make pasta and those healthy portion chicken breasts w/ veggies. I do that a lot. I also make veggies, rice and potstickers(or tuna steak/shrimp/spring rolls/empenadas and other yummies from Trader Joes). Once every few weeks we’ll go out and have lots of sushi for Friday dinner.

I only go to the gym 2x a week, but plan to go on Saturday mornings as well.
What else can I do? I was trying to stay away from diet pills, but now I’m about ready to just take them. I was lookin at alli, but I don’t want my butt to explode while I’m at work if I screw up and have a cookie.

That’s what I was watching at 1am. Mm hmm. Go Bettie go. I didn’t realize she was s book-smart. That gave her +10 hot points.

I recently cracked up at something I read that now I don’t find so funny. Hmm… actually, yes I do.

So I told my pseudo-bro Rob about teh matrimony. He was very eh which is more negative than nonchalant. Then an hour later, Aunt Gina calls me back and finds a way to be negative. I weigh the comments of those 2 against the countless other congratulatory remarks and all I can do is shrug my shoulders and say fuck em.  It did dawn on me that I got an address for an invite from someone who seems to have no clue why I asked for it. I’m not annoyed. Oh no. Not at all.

Am I happy about getting married? Yes, but I must admit that the appeal of a wedding is waning. It’s going to be way more work than it may be worth. I think that’s the Negative Nancy in me, but how much help is a girl really going to get. Maybe it’s the lack of faith in others. I’m the one who wants a wedding so it almost makes sense that I’d do the searching and shit, but is “one beautiful day to remember for the rest of your life” work the 10 months of stress?

I can see why people elope. You still get to be happy and married without the headache of planning. We need to choose and reserve a venue. That’s the biggest thing. The most immediate concern is venue because that’s your backbone. Video & Catering are done. Bah. I has work to do. enough ranting.

Eat your peas.
