New Sidebar Item
So, the weight loss is going well so far. I lost 5.5 pounds this week! YAY! That's very exciting! I've added a new sidebar item to keep track of my weight loss. We'll see how it goes. I've actualy been motivated so far, so that's good. Even the meal where I usually eat a lot (the one after i weigh in) I was good today. Or okay. Pizza hut, but i had mostly salad. So yay weight loss!

And Another Thing...
...I joined ww online. this will be the third time i've done the ww thing, but the second i've decided doesn't count, because i did it because i thought i should and my heart wasn't into it. I'm excited. i like how it makes you so aware of what you're actually eating. the last three days of the diet have been hard getting back into the swing of doing, but I'm getting there. i haven't felt some of the pangs yet, but i also haven't been to that point where i don't have any points left and still am hungry. The party tonight (Jenny's bridal shower and party) will take some of my extra points for the week, so we'll see...
Wish me luck! I'll keep you updated every wednesday as to my losses :)

Headaches and Body aches
I try to do my best not to complain too much about things on my blog...i know of a couple blogs that and it makes me crazy and manages to really tick me off most of the time. That being said, I'm feeling horrible today and I tend to get whinny and needy and have a low tolerance for anything and everything when I don't feel well.
So, if you don't want to read any more of this blog, I understand...skip to the next entry. it's more fun, I promise!
For anyone who is still reading, I've had this small, pea-sized cyst on my neck for about three years. I always know it's there, but most of the time no one else does. Well, about a week ago it decided that it wanted to get a heck of a lot bigger really fast. So, what does that mean? That means I'm in quite a bit of pain. It is super-sensitive to the touch and all that fun stuff. So, that is annoyance number one. I go to the dr. and she puts me on an antibiotic. Super, hopefully that will help. Well, my neck is still swollen and red and painful, and the medicine is wrecking havoc on my stomach and making me think just throwing up would solve all my problems. WEE! And, on top of that, I have a headache and one of the janitors is deep cleaning the carpets outside of my office, making a TON of noise as he rams the cleaner into doors and walls.
GGGGRRRRR!
Okay, I'm done complaining now!

Where did July go?
I did one of those double takes when I looked at the calendar this morning. Can it really be the 19th of July already? Where is summer going? I knew it would pick up speed the closer it got to the wedding. I knew it would get almost crazy this summer, but wow. A quick run down of the last few weekends, plus a look ahead to the next few, and all I want to do is take a nap. At the same time, however, it's a lot of good stuff!
Monday we moved Tim into the apartment we'll live in after we're married. I LOVE IT. It's actually really nice and is already starting to feel like home. The next three months (94 days, but who's counting!) will be hard, because I am to the point where I just want to be there. I just want to be with him. I just want to be his wife. The rest, at this point, is just details. The move was somewhat exhausting, but well worth it.
The month is flying by, but I'm okay with that, because I'm excited about what is happening in the future. We made the decision to move the place where we're having the reception from the fields to the church over the weekend. i feel good about it. it's actually funny how much more relaxed about stuff i feel knowing that decision has been made! i didn't realize how much it was affecting me until the decision was made and i felt a whole bunch of pressure lift off my shoulders. YAY!
I think what i've realized lately is that it's okay to not be in total control all the time. don't get me wrong, it's hard for me, but i'm learning that it's okay to just let things work themselves out in there own time. And, when I do that, I realize that I'm a lot happier with everything--with life, with love, with just living in general. it's a wonderful feeling. I don't have to always be in control and i don't have to always be right. Who knew? Okay, a lot of people, but I'm finally learning for myself!
