It's another day where I am finding it hard to get motivated to do my school work. I have a lot of it to do. It's staring me in the face. I know it needs to get done....so what the heck is my problem?
I'm going to blame today's distraction on TheKnot.com.
I'm convinced it is their goal to make future brides shit their pants on a monthly basis.
Case in point - The other day I received my reminder from them that we had hit the 6 month to wedding mark!!! - and basically with that comes an e-mail detailing a laundry list no shorter than the length of the Great Wall of China of "stuff that's gotta get done NOW". They arrange it month by month in a format that is supposed to make you feel calm, organized and in control - but in reality makes you feel as if the world is going to cave in if you fall behind on even one "to do" in their carefully laid out plan. Perhaps my trouble started when I thought I could DIY the whole damn wedding and get it all coordinated with out the benefit of, well, a coordinator. I think I have somehow forgotten that I am an integral part of this wedding day, in that I am one of the two people getting married, THEREFORE, not having the time to set up all of my lovely decoration stuff the day of the wedding.
Hmmmm....dilemma.
TheKnot.com tells me that this month we were supposed to already have our invitation wording figured out so the invitations could be ordered this month. I gave Josh the assignment to work on the honeymoon plans and the invitation wording, and I will say he's been doing a good job on both. But his latest intro to the invite reads "High Tide and High Times."
Mmmm, ok yes - while to most people that may sound festive, with the beach wedding and all - with my extended family, that's just an crystal clear invitation to come to the wedding completely stoned.....
Needless to say, I think a bit of word revision is in order.
I am freaking out because I actually had a bad dream a few months ago that I had forgotten to mail out our invites, so basically no one showed up to our wedding. Knowing me, this could very much become a reality if I don't get my shit together. And FAST.
As for the weight loss....we are trucking along at a decent pace. That has not been put on the back burner. We may have no invitations, or people showing up but at least we'll be thin!
Josh is down to 259 lbs....AMAZING!!!! 43 pounds - gone - literally in what seems like the blink of an eye. I think it's safe to say that Josh could do for Boca Burgers what Jarred Fogel did for Subway. Seriously - the guy is living on these things right now.
As for me? I'm more the "turtle" than the "hare" right now, with a modest 17.25 lb loss.....Today's weight - 208.75!!!!
I am only 5 1/2 lbs from my 10% goal so, I won't downplay it too much - I am very excited! I'd like to reach that in the next 2 - 3 weeks if possible. It blows my mind that this is all actually working out and I think by the wedding, I will hopefully have met my goal of 40 lbs. After the wedding, I can work on the next 40!
Fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed!
