I know! I thought they would at least call or something...

K, I'm done being a baby. Maybe auntie is on her way finally. And I shouldn't expect all 500 pics to be perfect, right?

LOL. No.

One of my pics, a bridal portrait one, I actually look cross-eyed.

J and I laughed about it for like 20 minutes. SO weird.

ETA: The pic was so bad I was concerned! I asked J if I ever had a lazy eye!

Also...sometimes the bride part of the forum bothers me.

Ditto... high drama/emotions in there.

HAHA. I had family Xmas Saturday night. So they''re all done, obv. A is done except for booking a hotel for Friday night...but we might get ice storms here so that might be nixed in favor of lighting a ton of candles at home and cooking a nice dinner.

It''s D&G Light Blue deodorant. I meant to get him the cologne, but pointed to a small box and I didn''t look at it before I brought it home. Doh!

As a deodorant, it probably sucks too, which is the worst part!

Morning everyone.


Sunny -- Your pictures were beautiful. I love the flowers you picked and your dress is amazing. The elevator and dance pictures are wonderful. Especially the dance. You both look so happy to be together and married.

 

[vc10um]

Good morning, TP!

Back in a bit, ladies. Heading out to go get a big healthy salad to accompany my Lean Cuisine. After 5 days of eating cookies, chocolate, and not really healthy "real" food, either, I need some veggies!!!

Don''t be embarrassed!!! I totally understand where you''re coming from. Sometimes people leave hundreds of comments on something, and sometimes there are 5, and the one with only 5 totally deserves way more compliments than the one with hundreds, but because of timing, etc, it just worked out that way.

I need to find a way to stay focused on exercising daily. I''ve been so bad about it lately.

Before I buy new clothes (I HATE shopping for clothes) I want to lose some weight.


Alright. Time to get tough on myself.

Today I will create and print a spreadsheet/calendar to record my weight on twice a day.
Tonight I will step on the scale and write down my weight.
When I get home from work I will ride one mile on the exercise bike. (and do this every week day)

 

[vc10um]

Okay. Momentary vent.

I work at a government office. We have a gym on our campus that we can use for relatively cheap. It has cardio machines, free weights, weight machines, and two rooms for classes. Only employees of the PTO can use this gym.

There is a woman who uses the gym that INSISTS on wearing yoga/running leggings and just a sports bra to work out in every day. I have no problem with the leggings. It''s what I wear, too. But I have a HUGE problem with JUST wearing a sports bra. Yes, it''s a gym. But it''s also a gym AT YOUR WORK PLACE. Your boss uses that gym. Your coworkers use that gym. I understand that you''ve got a sixpack and want to show it off...but that''s NOT appropriate. She is the ONLY person that uses the gym that does this. PUT ON A FRIGGEN TANK TOP.

**end vent**

 

[sunnyd]

Totally VC, I''m with you! I''m so conservative at work that it''s weird to wear a strapless cocktail dress to our holiday parties! That is just not right. Put your boobies away!

TP, weighing yourself that often might be discouraging, as will weighing yourself at night. Take it from a weightloss veteran--nothing can kill motivation more than two pounds of water weight gain on the scale. I''d actually recommend choosing one day a week where you get on the scale first thing in the morning...nekkid, of course...to get the most accurate picture of how you''re doing. I still get on the scale every day, but I only record my weight on that one day a week.

Kick butt, though!!! Get going on that bike and rack up those miles. Maybe set a goal for yourself: "I will ride x number of miles by January 31." etc...

In a bra at work?

Public (well, regular membership) gyms are bad enough but WORK? I''d never be able to feel comfortable with that.
Wondering who was thinking "oh gross" and who was thinking "hmm. Look at that hot body."

 

[Lauren8211]

That is the one instance, VC, where I fully support putting the boobies away.
