Weight Loss and Weddings.
I have been trying to lose weight for... well forever. I've done every diet, tried a ton of exercises, and nothing. So my doctor put me on Metformin, but my body was not having it. AT ALL. I was in the bathroom just minutes after eating, and I still was able to gain 7 lbs. My doc decided to go a little more drastic. Phentermine. And its working. Already two days in and I see a difference.
Day 1.
Breakfast- 1/2 bowl of mini wheats
Lunch- meatloaf and mac & cheese
Dinner- Grilled Chicken Salad
Snack 1- homemade strawberry banana smoothie
Snack 2- 6 frozen strawberries
Day 2.
Breakfast- (actually at lunch time-when I got hungry) - Garlic knot
late Lunch- 1 slice of pizza.
Dinner- salad and 1/2 cup of chili
Snack 1- smoothie
snack 2- pretzel and 4 fresh strawberries
I started the end of Tuesday- the first day, at 287.
Today I weighed in at 279. It's a big drop, and I imageine that eventually it will taper off, but if I can get my body to NOT need food all the time I can lose weight. That is my biggest problem. I am always hungry. I almost have a compulsive need to eat.
Weddings!
Oh my goodness, so many things are coming along so well and I am so happy. Except the cake. It's still up in the air, and I may end up with cupcakes. CUPCAKES. Do not want. No offense to anyone who choses this. It's just not my style or what I wanted. I found cheap candy online, and am ordering 25 lbs!!! I have to wait till its cooler, otherwise they can melt.. I still have 3 invites to send out. A man I've never met and fought with about politics for hours, my great Aunt Emma who is awesome, and President Obama and the First Lady. How do I address to the President. Mr. and Mrs. President Barack Obama? Apparently they send a nice letter of Congrats, and I think that would be something great to have. Especially for a President I voted for.
Anyone interested you can find my awesome beautiful absolutely amazing guestbook here. These are the pictures from our engagement/family session with our photographer. They are AWESOME.
