Goooooooood Morning.

So last night I figured out what I am giving up for lent -- elevators! I work on the 8th floor, so a good, brisk walk up a few flights of stairs will hopefully jumpstart my plan to tone up before the wedding. I did, however, promptly forget this when I arrived at my office this morning, but from now on -- stairs only!

Is anyone else giving something up for lent? What did ya'll do last night?

Well I don't celebrate Lent so I am not giving up anything.

Last night was nothing special. I went to work (8pm-6am). Now I am sitting cozy in my bed til 10 am. I found this wedding dress on Craigslist for $75 that I LOVE and am going to try on. Thank goodness its in the same town. Let us please pray that it is long enough to fit. If bought trust I will upload some pics

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Stairs are a great way to get in shape! I'm giving up fried foods and so is FI. No french fries, fried pickles, egg rolls, fried chicken, etc. Apparently cookies and ice cream arent fried so they are still good for you, according to FI. Lol I think hes missing the point lol I didnt really do much last night. Just Zumba after work... which I was so annoyed since this instructor has the most annoying low energy routines. I feel like we kept doing the same 3 moves for every song and it killed my bad knee. I think I will skip her classes from now on and do a gym day on the machines those nights. So excited someone else is teaching cardio funk tonight! :

I don't celebrate lent either, but if I did the elevators would be a great one to choose. Man, maybe I should just start doing it anyway and tone up my buttocks and legs. You're inspiring me!

Last night I came home at 8pm from work, ate dinner, and fiance and I played on the laptop of possible places to stay in Maine for our honeymoon. :-) It's nice to be able to "dream" and know it's actually going to happen if we can budget correctly for it! :-)

I'm giving up swearing. I don't swear often, but its a bad habit I need to break and this is the perfect time to do it. I'm also working on letting things go. I let other people get to me sometimes and I'm learning that you have to let it go and not get involved in the drama. It takes two, so I'm going to work at that much more deliberately during Lent this year.

I got to hang out with my mentor last night. We watched Dance Moms. I can't get over that show...

Tonight I'm working on our guest list. We're making a few changes (FI switched a few people around, a few of our friends are now dating people, etc). Fun times!

I gave up giving things up for lent.

Last night I ran a mile with FI, who I hate running with, but feel bad telling him that. I feel like he is always critiquing me while we run and he talks to me. I just want to listen to music and zone out, but it makes him happy so I suffer through it. He made dinner and we caught up on the Walking Dead and looked at places my step-mother found for the rehearsal dinner.
Didn't really love any of them so I have to find a way to tell her to try again. One is a "old world Italian" menu, pretty much what our reception dinner is going to include, another was a steak house that is out of our price range and the third is the Pier. It would be awesome, but doubt we can get a reservation since the Pier holds a big surf contest each year and they fill up fast. We need to find something quick since Labor Day in Cocoa Beach is so busy.

I usually don't do anything for lent, but I think I'm going to give up pop. I'd like to include redbull but my Saturday monrings at work would be brutal without it. (I don't do coffee).

Last night I just picked up dinner and cleaned up the house a bit. I watched most of the Chicago Blackhawks game, but fell asleep before it was over. Pretty low key night.

I tried this before, but I'm pretty much like a sailor so it didn't work. F*ck that haha!

I don't celebrate Lent, so that's all I've got. Today I'm just going to get through the day, and my plan is to start working on the burlap table runners tonight. I've been a lump for 5 days, but mostly because I was so sick that just getting through the front door put me down for the night; today I feel like I may be able to accomplish something!!

Speaking of burlap table runners I forgot to give you my update! They turned out great. They're kind of a medium tight weave and smell like burlap obviously but they're going to work out like perfection. I will just need to set them out in the sun this summer to air them out and try to beat all the burlap lint from them. (Burlap is alot of work! LOL) But for getting them so much cheaper on eBay I completely recommend them. The seller was: <span><a href="http://myworld.ebay.com/opal_scarlet/&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2754" title="Member id opal_scarlet" class="mb-v10 mb-cl02" rel="nofollow">opal_scarlet</a>. </span>

Yay for finding awesome supplies haha! I already ordered the bulk roll, which is more cost-effective for us in the long run because I have sooo much other stuff I want to do with it. But I'm glad yours came out without all the extra legwork and can't wait til September so I can see the pics in action!!!
