I am so very tired of the scale not budging very much! I am losing, I know that I should be happy with that. I am not…. I really need to be happy that I am making progress. I am just really tired of watching everything I eat, trying to get a work out in, and being diligent about life!!! If you can’t tell, I am having a rough day of sorts. I am really glad that I am making good decisions, I just have to say that it’s a long road and I am trying to find the courage in myself to keep going. I do have goals. They are realistic. I just need to buckle down.

I have been using the fat secret website to track everything. I am using the Wii to weigh in and exercise. I am on the extreme fat smash diet. What else can I do??

On the wedding front, we have contacted the cake person, the photographer, and the flower person. I am really happy with the progress there. I am going to wait to work on the dress until the end of this year I think. I am hoping that I at least reach one or two of my short term goals for that. We did go to a new bridal shop in Fairview, it takes donations for the dresses. They are a non-profit place called adorned in grace, that give their proceeds to help young women in trouble. All of the items are donated and they don’t put a price on anything. Interesting concept and I hope that they do well.

On the sleeping front… I have not been, again. I am trying something different, we put the air conditioner in the bedroom and hopefully that will help me sleep better.

Friday we had an appointment with the wedding coordinator for Chinook Winds. We had a 3:30 pm appointment. So, we planned our day accordingly. We decided that we needed a two and a half drive time window and that we would leave by 1:00 pm. Yeah, we didn’t exactly make that. We did get out the door by 1:15 pm…… with me a little stressed. I was really worried about what traffic would be like. We did run into some construction, some tree trimming crews, and some just plain slow drivers. We made it down there, but a half an hour late! I was worried because I was sure that it would make the coordinator mad. We called on our way as soon as we knew that we would be late and she was very ok with it.
Revelle Lewis is the lady that we met with. I have to say that I was very pleased with everything about Revelle. She is so very thorough and informative she really made our decision easy. She answered every question that we had with better answers than we expected. They take care of so many things there. All of the decorations, limo, no-host bar, cake, food, set up……. incredible!! The outdoor or indoor wedding will be just what we need it to be, show up-get married-walk away! No clean up. No worries!
Thank you so much Revelle for making me calm down!! I have been so stressed and having a hard time with the who process and she made me feel very assured that everything will go well!
So, I am going to shamelessly plug Chinook Winds Casino at every opportunity that I have!!
