Happy Monday!

Knotties, you all really got me out of my rut last week. Honestly, you all are awesome. 

Major A/W but I just can't help it: I LOST 10 POUNDS LAST WEEK! Woot Woot! I feel incredible about myself right now and can't wait to have my first fitting on Saturday! Hopefully this week goes super fast! 

Any plans for the week ahead?

That's so exciting! I can't even lose ten pounds in a month, haha!

But I did get my dress Saturday and it needs to be taken in! 

And FI and I started registering yesterday!

My best friend from college is home from grad school right now so she's coming over for supper tonight. And then another couple is coming over Wednesday for our weekly meal

ETA: Holy cow, I just realized I used too many exclamtion points...sorry 'bout it.

Congrats!!!! I think I gained 10 pounds last week, haha. 

I went dress shopping for the first time ever on Saturday, and it was awesome!!!!! I am now super excited, and I'm going to try to schedule more fittings for the coming weeks

Other than that, not much else going on this week. Friday is payday, and that's always fun!

I got back on my weight loss wagon this morning, so I feel pretty good about that. Took my walk and everything!

Plans this week are to just do a little every day of tasks and projects I have for this summer. I think I need to make a list for each day so I don't get overwhelmed or sidetracked. 

Friday I am getting a much needed haircut and eyebrow wax so I can be pretty for an upcoming Knottie G2G!!!

That's awesome! 

I think I gained 10 pounds this weekend from all the drinking and eating. Ugh.

Wedding shower was this weekend, and my mom and FMIL did not punch each other in the face! It went pretty well, actually.

We close on our house on Friday. Which means I have until Thursday night to finish packing up our whole house. Cue freaking out.

I might have, too. I prided myself on it being a weekend of sloth and gluttony, but it just makes it that much harder to start up getting healthier.

I found your 10 lbs.

Seriously, I haven't been able to drop an ounce all year. I need to have more of the "are you gonna eat that" problem from the other thread. And not eat til my fitting. Speaking of, I need to go schedule my fitting.

Happy Monday & congrats on the 10 pounds!

I am in a great mood because I have a short work week due to the nuptials of two very good friends. I can't wait to celebrate with them! 

SmileDamnit

That's awesome, Sara!

As soon as I had my first dress fitting and it actually fit, I lost all urge to keep on the "gotta get fit" train. I do miss barre classes (the damn bar that FI installed in the basement is just gathering dust), but damn, I just love cheese too much to be good. Plus Spanx. Spanx is my new BFF.

I haven't lost much either urged. Still working on the same fish. I named him henry, we have gotten very close. I don't have much planned really. My mom is visiting so V and I are going out to dinner with her on Wednesday. Other than that, I have work and the gym. I'm also going to the dentist on Thursday.

Congrats on those lbs! 

This week I must: do All the Laundry in preparation for my vacation next week, confirm the dog's boarding, schedule an appointment with a PT for my injured heel (see my other post, tl;dr I have a heel spur), and clean my apartment. So...chores. I must do chores this week.

ETF at first "heel" was "hell"--I think that typo could stay, actually..

That's awesome! Congrats!

I really hope to start seeing some weight loss results soon, too. I started seeing a personal trainer last week, so hopefully he can whip my lazy ass into shape!

My plans for the week involve getting my invitations in the mail, woohoo! Little on the early side but lots of people have been asking, so whateva. 

And I totally just sweet talked the guy at the post office into letting me use the $0.70 stamp instead of the $0.90 sent one... the lady at the next register told him to upcharge me because of the TINY bump in the center from the bow, and was all snotty about it and trying to take the whole thing apart to see where the bump was coming from. After asking if he was SURE I needed to pay that much, and does he really think they'll come back to me, he kinda leaned in and said, under his breath, "listen, between you and me... we're the ones who decide what goes through. I say they're fine. You're already paying an upcharge anyway since this is only 1.5oz. We're not gonna check it again once we see that 70 cent stamp on there, and you don't want the 90 cent one - it's got a man on it." (LOL) Alrighty then, 134 pretty wedding cake stamps, please and thank you! I will definitely be bringing them to him personally tomorrow! Then I just need lots of Knottie mojo that they actually DO go through!

Fi and I are going to get him measured for Hus tux, and to look for a bowtie for our ring bearer. We have a DJ meeting on Wednesday and officiant meeting on Thursday (dinner at his family's home!). I get to see my bridal pictures on Wednesday during the day with my mom and sister yay!

Things are getting so so busy for the wedding - 26 days!

I'm being lazy and watching my Ace of Cake dvd's while I sketch and plan. I have spin class tonight at 7. Other then that I am not leaving the house. Lazzzzy.

I did a bunch of online shopping (VS and NY&CO) they were having awesome sales.  My new stuff should be coming in Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  Wednesday night I have a softball game.  Friday night I'll be cleaning like a crazy lady because Saturday afternoon is our home visit!

H and I are looking to rescue a Yorkie.  So far we've passed all phases of the process (phone interview, vet check, and reference check).  Hopefully we pass the home visit so we can start looking for a dog that we want.  I'm sooooooo excited!!!

We used those stamps too (I was slightly miffed, our invitations with inserts weighed in at 1.1 oz). FI picked those over the other wedding/love ones because the design looks very similar to the one we picked for our wedding cake.

I'm bumping this thread bc I have nowhere else to talk about it. I hate horror movies, and the horror movie commercials that come on at night PISS ME OFF. I LIKE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT WITHOUT CREEPY-ASS VISUALS LURKING IN MY HEAD.

Also just read that somebody is cat hater. Knew something was fucked up there.

I had a case of the Mondays. Had a long weekend from going to my parents house last Thursday to celebrate dads 71st. Did not like having get up early again.

Used the total gym for the first time in a while on Sunday, plus a 1.5 mile walk. I previously injured a disc n my back before my wedding, so I didnt go crazy with it. Alternated yesterday with a 3.25 mile fast walk/jog.

Yay for Tuesday!

My least favorite thing is horror commercials on my Pandora or Spotify when I'm trying to relax/ go to sleep.

A PM about this cat hater would be appreciated!

I was in a friend's wedding in Brazil a few years ago, and rooming in the hotel with a friend who is normally an AWESOME travel companion. I went up from the hotel bar to go to bed a little early, since I had to be up early for all the train ride across Sao Paulo to the hair/makeup/mani/pedi shenanigans. Roomie was not in the wedding, but came up with me anyway. Roomie also liked to fall asleep to the sound of the TV (I do not). Roomie thought a horror movie was an excellent choice to fall asleep to.

I did not sleep that night.

Omg my grandmother of all people would put on that 'CHILLER' channel at night and watch what were basically edited horror movies. It's that deliver us from evil commercial that's been setting me off every night. I just want to watch guy code while I wait for golden girls to come on without that creepy ass shit
