been so busy

Did I mention I purchased my wedding dress??? It isn't the Casablanca, its another one. I wasn't happy with it so I went with #2. I am very happy. What do you think?

Starting to Run (again)

I just started to run. I'm a lousy runner. Does it ever get better? Can you improve the more you practice? Anyone?

Count down is on!

So, I have been focused on getting some inches off my body because the fiance and I are scheduled to take engagement pictures on Oct. 7th. I will find out tomorrow if this will be the date because of my fiance's work schedule. Anyways, I had a week of VERY VERY bad eating. Since my parents were out of town, I decided to have a few guests over. ( I had some social favors to return) Of course that consisted of "junk food" eating. Yesterday, the fiance and I enjoyed the day apple picking at Smolak Farms in North Andover, Ma. We purchased the Apple Cider donuts and we ate the whole bag (6 donuts) in that afternoon. We also had some of the homemade Dutch Apple icecream. So as you could see, yesterday was FAT KID SATURDAY. We should have just ate the apples.
Anyways, I know this might sound like I am too hard on myself but I'm not, I'm being realistic. I have a CHUBBY face. Yes, I do!! I'm about 5'2" and I am about a size 4-6 (not bad) but I do carry some of my weight in my face. I know this because about 6 years ago, I was at where I was now. After a few episodes in my life, I had lost some weight and I saw pictures from 6 years ago and 4 years ago. Big difference in my face!!!
So this may sound a little crazy, but I'm not so much concerned about loosing pounds, I need to loose inches. I have about less than 3 weeks. Now I know that no one knows about my silly little blog but any advise would be great. I'm planning on stepping up my game and staying away from the junk food. I'm going to have to stay away from my usual pasta dishes.
Well I'm off to do some Yoga while my fiance sleeps away. (he had a bad headache last night)

Diet and Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

Well my diet is going pretty good. (I had a little hickup yesterday)
Tonight I had brown rice with a thin slice of steak cut up. I cut up green olives with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and some salt and added them into this risotto. It was really delish.

Yesterday, I made a big boo boo. On Monday, my fiance wanted to make a cupcake in an ice cream cone. So what he did was poor the cake batter into the cones and baked them in the oven. He added vanilla frosting to the top and put sprinkles on top. It looked just like an ice cream cone. Well I should I thrown them away yesterday but instead, when I got home from work I had one to eat. The next stupid thing I did was pull out my 30 Day Shred and did 30 minutes of that. After, that I took a quick shower and I started to feel overtired. I had to lay down and then my stomach started to hurt. I felt like crap and very weak. I spent the rest of the night running to the bathroom and vomitting. I finally had to just sleep it off. The sugar high did me no good.

Tomorrow, I plan on going to spin at 6am (I should have gone this morning but after last night, NO!) and after work I am going shopping for bridesmaid dresses. I have no idea what I want my girls to wear but I am sure it will be a lot of fun!

Dress and new diet!

Hi,

So last week, I told you about a dress I totally loved. Well last Friday, I had the day off from work and my friend did as well. She is getting married in June. I asked her if she would come with me to check out the dress. So we drove up there and I looked like a pyscho because I had just been there the night before. I asked to try on the top 2 dresses and I did. My friend loved my Casablance dress on me. We added a belt to it and it looked beautiful. It actually looked better in daylight than it did when I first tried it on the night before. I love the dress!!!! I'm not looking anywhere else and when my mother comes back from Italy, I'm going to drag her there to see it. Here is the dress:

So I don't look anything like this model but I can say that this dress looks better on me :)

I know it is plain but add a belt and it looks unbelievable.

NOW.... The fiance and I are taking engagment pictures on Oct. 7th. And since I carry the weight in my face, I'm on a mission to loose some weight. I'm 5'2" and I weigh about 134lbs. I'm on the heavier end of my frame. I need to loose the jiggile on my thighs, tummy and arms. So I'm getting my fat thighs out of bed tomorrow at 4:50am and getting to spin class at 5:30.

Wedding Dress shopping

I went shopping for my wedding dress tonight! What a workout!
I'll make it quick, I wanted something kinda trendy. However, trendy does not work for me. The best dress I put on was absolutely plain and the sales person put a belt on me. Awesome! I love the dress. My sister and friend said I should really look at more places though. Well I guess, its just so time consuming. Grrr....

Rain, Rain and more Rain

I've been lacking on my posts (Anyone miss me????)
Very busy few days, my parents are getting ready to leave tomorrow for their month long trip. Loving forward to having some peace and quiet in the house. I'll actually be able to do somethings that will not include remarks from my parents :) Do you think there are too many adults in this house? You thought right.

My fiance and I have thought about how our future will pan out in the next 13 months until our wedding. He has been over stressed these past few weeks (to the point where I started to worry) I stepped up and put my WOMAN foot down and decided we should hold off on the house hunt until after we are married. We will each spend the next few months at home saving money and at the end of next winter, we'll look for an apartment. I'm hoping the apartment hunt will go much better than the house hunt.

Anyways, rain rain and more rain its been in Boston. One good thing is that I've been hitting the sack a little early (something that I need to get back to doing) I even thought about going to spin tomorrow morning. (If I can get my butt up at 4:50am)

So I'm just going to walk my butt into bed now and watch a little TV before I go into dreamland.

Goodnight all.
