Week 11: 1.6 lbs!

This week went well! I finally reached my 10% goal which was a weight loss of 19lbs! I received my weight watchers 10% keychain and that made me feel really great! I am so excited to continue this process and see how much further I can go to hit my goal. Right now, I am about 17lbs away from my ultimate weight loss goal. My mom also lost 2lbs this week so we are both feeling very happy about that! Have a great week everyone!

99 days left!

I just realized that today we are 99 days from our wedding!! I am so excited!!  

Newly Decorated Apartment

For a wedding shower gift, Jason's Aunt Patty wanted to help us decorate our apartment. Jason & I were both so excited and of course agreed. Last Friday she with the help of Jason's mom totally redesigned our place. It is so beautiful! It really makes it feel like a home! Since Friday, we've entertained friends and just enjoyed spending time together in our new space. Enjoy the pictures! Thanks again Patty & Nancy for all your hard work, we are so HAPPY!

Week 10: -0.6 lbs!

This week I lost another 0.6lbs. I am happy with it! I am now only 0.8lb away from accomplishing my 10% weight loss from when I started. I am going to work hard this week and get going on accomplishing that goal next Sunday. Today, my mom joined weight watchers with me, so that's nice that she can go to the meetings with me. SHe has lost 20lbs on her own eating like me and listening to my weight watchers advice. Today though, she actually payed to join weight watchers. I still have about 2 months until I have to get my first dress fitting for my wedding gown, so I am hoping to have lost another 10lbs by then. We'll see! I am so excited!

Have a great week everyone!

Week 9: 4.2 lbs GONE!

I am so thrilled to say that over the last 2 weeks I have lost 4.2 lbs! Like I posted earlier this week, I am not counting this past week's weigh in since there was a lot of room for error. Instead I'm going to keep trucking! Today was Jason & my last weigh in for the 10 week membership we bought back in July. In that time I've lost a total of 17.8lbs and Jason has lost 20lbs! Since, I am not quite where I want to be, my mom is going to pay for me to continue another few months as a an early birthday gift. Jason will not be paying again, he is not too far from his goal. I have about another 19 lbs until I hit my goal :0) My mother will also be joining weight watchers and doing it with me, so that should be fun! Her and my dad have been doing a relaxed version of it that they have picked up from us and have both lost almost 20 lbs. This is the year to be healthy! I can't wait until Nov. 15th when I go and get my dress taken in for my wedding. I am so proud of myself for making a change and can't wait to see my family and friends that I have not seen in a long time as they see me at a healthy weight. Have a great week everyone!

Wedding Flower Update

Here are some photos of my bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and my flower girl floral ball. The bridesmaid bouquets along with mine are all missing some type of greenery. I want something that looks like Christmas pine or something. If I can't find anything I like that is fake, then I am going to cut real pine for my bouquets the week of the wedding. After I add the greenery, I will wrap the stems with satin ribbon and pin with pearl headed pins. My flower girl will be carrying this floral ball on her wrist while walking down the aisle. I still need to fill in some more space where you can see the styrofoam ball, but it is almost done.  I'm not sure if our church will allow the throwing of petals, so I thought this would be a good alternative. I am really pleased with how my flowers have turned out so far. I have all my boutonnieres done and am working on finishing the last four corsages I have left. I have never done anything like this before so I'm proud of myself!  Let me know what you think:0)

Week 8 Weigh In

So Tuesday evening Jason and I went to get weighed in for the past week, but I am not counting it. We typically get weighed in every Sunday morning (this past weekend we were out of town) and this week we weighed in the evening. I started the week of the month where I retain water on Sunday & I got weighed on an entirely different scale. Needless to say, I gained 0.2lbs. Since there was a lot of error in this weeks weigh in I am not counting it. All my measurements I took on my usual day and I lost .25 inches from my arms, thighs, hips, and waist. I know I lost weight this past week. So.... I am going to get weighed in this weekend on Sunday so I can get back to my usual schedule of weight waters weigh ins. It is so FRUSTRATING seeing a weight gain when I worked out more this past week than I did the prior week.  

On a happy note, my student teaching is going really well! I love my teacher and my 3rd graders. I am truly enjoying this learning experience. I am just reassured that this is the job for me!  

Jason has his 1st medical school test tomorrow so he's been studying his butt off. He's been studying his butt off since he started medical school, but more for his test. The first week was tough on us because we weren't sure how we would get a chance to be together, but this past week went a lot better and we figured it out. He studies while I do school stuff, wedding stuff, or relax until around 5pm when he is done studying. This schedule only applies for weekends not week days. During the week days, we have been seeing each other about every other day or every two days. It has been an adjustment, but not terrible. I am really proud of how hard he works and his dedication to doing well. He's a pretty terrific man! 

Have a great rest of the week!
