A Week of Events

Well, I guess you can say that I haven't updated my blog because I haven't been doing very good on my diet! I've been walking and running some more, about 3 or 4 times a week, but I'm pretty lazy the other 3 or 4 days. Needless to say, I have not been hitting 10,000 steps everyday. I had one great day, where I walked over 3 miles, played football and basketball. I had almost 25,000 steps that day...and I let that be my excuse for not walking at all for the next week!

Thomas and I took engagement pictures on Sunday. It was the most awkward thing ever and really is the only time vom photos are acceptable. It was weird having someone stand there, snapping the camera at you during private moments, telling you to stare lovingly in each others eyes and kiss. I hope the pictures turn out okay, I should get them back in about 2 weeks!

Finally, Emma's wedding is almost here! I will be leaving for Destin on Thursday morning for the much anticipated weekend. I've been practicing my speech every free chance that I get, always thinking of more clever things to say, but I know I'll probably chicken out in the end! I love my friends any any chance I get to spend with them, we always have so much fun!

Halloween is on Sunday and I was estatic when I learned that I will be home in time to greet trick or treaters! I thought and thought and annoyed my friends about what costume I should do. I thought we could do this...

I had even convinced Thomas to let me give him a blowout like Pauly D...alas none of my friends seemed down! Then I thought, I'll do a couples costume since its the week of VOM!

But those costumes were expensive, so I'll be going to the Dollar Store tomorrow before work to get something cheap...probably fairy wings or some other lame costume...there's always next year anyways!

Happy Halloween!

6, 682 steps

Many of you know that I have a wedding coming up in 228 days...When I tried on my wedding dress, it fit perfectly. Straight off the rack and I didn't need any adjustments (other than a hem)? Perfect! However, I tried on my wedding dress after losing 6 pounds from a parasite...I tried it on a month ago, and it fit but its a little snug...I don't think I want to try it on after this last month!!

So, as my diet started yesterday, I have decided to wear a pedometer to track how many steps I take each day! Yesterday, I took 6, 682 steps, which isn't bad considering I sit at a computer all day! My goal is to get to 10,000 steps a day! It definitely gives a whole new meaning to songs like " And I will walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more" and "every step I take, every move I make"! I sing those songs to myself as I'm stepping from side to side just to give myself some movement.

I thought that over 6,000 wasn't bad for beginners. But I realized that as I am stepping side to side in front of my computer, I'm shoving goldfish down my mouth... So I'm probably going to have to walk 20,000 steps just to combat all of the food I eat!

In other wedding related news, my friend Emma is finally trying the knot (try 2) on October 30th in Destin. Before her first wedding, I tanned and worked out and ate healthy. I guess I am trying to do the same thing, but its much harder the second time. I bought a tanning lotion at Wal-Mart that I've been putting on! It smells horrible and it turned my palms ornage!

Well, I guess I better get back to work!

Hope everyone has a great day!
