Back on Track

It's been a couple of weeks since I have had a chance to update this blog. Sure was a busy couple of weeks. All the prepartions for the wedding, the parties, oh the parties!!

The girls had a bachelorette party for me last Thursday, what a blast we had! Pictures to follow...

Wedding was last Saturday, I am now officially Mrs Stratton, feels great! We had a great day, the weather was perfect for our outdoor wedding. Everyone had a great time, loved the casual, relaxed atmosphere of the wedding.

Beautiful Friday Morning

Wow, what a great day! Sun is shining, birds are singing, scale stayed the same, and we are heading to the cottage for the weekend. Can it get any better than this?? Well maybe but this is sure a great way to start the long weekend!

Of course the jeans that I am wearing are going a long way towards this great "skinny" feeling I am having to day. I got them 4yrs ago and they never fit, way too tight!! Tried them on this am and not only do they fit now but they are a bit big!! Man does that feel good, I think I may be finally back on track and loosing again.

Now I just have to remember this great feeling when I am hungry and make the right choices!!

One week from today I will be madly running around getting the final preparations for the wedding done. I am starting get soooooo excited, who would have thought, me excited about getting married. I think Rod may even be more excited than I am!!

Life is good!

Well off to finish up the packing and getting ready to leave, to anyone reading this blog, have a great weekend!

Sadly Lacking in Time for Blogging Lately

Well here I am back again, blogging at work...shhhhh... frowned upon around here but what the heck I just seem to have no time at home right now.

Been very busy lately, trying to get all the spring clean up done, keeping the lawns cut, weed eating done, plants planted....yatta, yatta, yatta. Well I am happy to say I am so caught up at home it's miraculous! Planted four new shrubs last night, did all the weed eating, (Rod had the grass cut! YEAH), and got the mulch all down on the gardens.

Of course all of this work is very tiring, I just drop into bed at night but the good news is my WI this week!! Woo hoo
16/05/07
185.6 lb
-3 lb
-36.6 lb

35.6 more pounds to loose and I will be at goal, of course the first 36 has taken me almost 6 months!

Finally I seem to have broken this plateau that I had been sitting on. Of course my eating habits of late have not been great, but this week I have been right on track and it paid off!! I also bought the WW Drinking Mug, I love it!! Have easily double my water comsumption since I bought it. I picked up two more yesterday for some ladies at work, same deal for them, can't believe how much water they are drinking!!

Wedding plans are coming along great, think we are pretty much done, Rod is picking up the Marriage Licence today. I am pretty sure that is the last thing we have to do. Can't believe it's coming up so quickly. Off to the cottage this weekend and then next weekend we get married. Much last minute stuff to do next week, not too worried though it will all get done or not. Either way the party is going to be great. :-)

Well better get my butt back to work! Got a wedding to pay for! lol

MMmmmm Shopping!

Well my one night stay in Michigan has turned into a three night stay. Project didn't go quite as well as anticipated. No big surprise really! Fortunately I met my friend from here on Monday night and went shopping. Bought two new pair of jeans and a bunch of tops. Good thing cause I have sure needed them.

Funny how a business trip turns into pure pleasure! Had a couple of really nice dinners out with my friend, not points friendly either I might add. Grrrr..missed my weigh in this week and I think that may be a good thing. Was up a pound last week and I'm afraid this week will be the same. I will do my on-line weigh in when I'm home tomorrow morning. Really must get myself back on track! Opps forgot I am to meet another friend for lunch tomorrow back in London. Would like to be able to wear the "smaller" pair of jeans I bought for the wedding.

Now speaking of the wedding, things are coming along nicely. Rod found a barbeque for the pig, still trying to find a dj, have a couple of leads but have not firmed up yet. The cost of the dj really threw us, wow, had no idea they charged so much. We are really trying to keep the costs down as this not about a big splashy wedding but a gathering of friends to celebrate Rod's Birthday and our commitment to each other.

Well I had better get to work, project suppose to launch this am and then I get to head back to Canada!
