Weight Watchers Wednesday

Source

This week I am beginning again. I have been on Weight Watchers for a year this week! I have lost about 20 pounds. I am getting married in less than six months and it is time yet again for me to get my butt in gear. I have begun actively counting my points and tracking my activity. I am looking into joining a gym, but I am not totally sold on not just being able to do what I need to do at my apartment gym and walking my dog. I would like to loose 6 pounds in 6 months. That is TOTALLY doable. So I am also going to be working on other parts of my health as well. 

My goal is to do more strength training to tone and lean out my body. I am going to drink less, see this post, I clearly need to work on that. I am going to try and set up a skin regimen to clear up and even out my skin tone. I am also going to try to cut out soda again. This is something I did last year and I could feel the difference. Slowly I have picked up the habit again and I think it is time to kick that habit once and for all.

So to help with holding me accountable for my actions I am going to attempt to post my goals and successes here. Hopefully knowing that all of you are out there judging me will (I hope) keep me in line. Goals for this week:

1) To walk my dog three times for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
2) Weigh in next week at -.5 pounds. I know it does not seem like a lot but gosh these last 5 pounds are killing me.

Check in with me and ask me how I am doing. I need the help!

Honeymoon: BOOKED!

Yeah that is right, I booked my honeymoon! I will soon be laying on the beach and drinking too much gin in a huge straw hat and heals. I will be fabulous. Where will I be so fabulous you ask? Check this out:

Puerto Vallarta Palace Resort - Concierge Level BITCHES! I am super excited about our trip. 6 days of doing nothing but eating and drinking and maybe some swimming, but mostly eating. I cant wait! 

Weekend Recap - Drunken Edition

This weekend was nothing short of a drunken mess of fun. It was a blast the will not be soon repeated as I was reminded that I am getting to old for this shit. While my WF was at his bachelor party skiing in Breckenridge my girlfriends and I decided not to miss out on some good old fashioned girl time. 

Friday - Kelly, Janet and I had a movie night at my house. I cooked a weight watchers meal that was to die for and we polished off three bottles of wine while watching Sex and the City. Was totally hammered while talking to the girls about all things fashion, boys and wedding. Absolutely perfect. 

Saturday - Got up with Janet and went for a walk around Town Lake with the pups. Had a good workout and headed home to go shopping with Kelly. We checked out the new part of the Domain and were successful in feeling like a celebrity while drinking our Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Went home took a little nap and got sexy for a night out on the town. We headed out for dinner then went dancing. Ended up at Oil Can Harry's for some ass shaking with the wonderful gay men of Austin. Pretty sure I made an ass out of myself but still worked it. Got home passed out while chatting with Janet and snuggling my dog. Here are the girls: 

Sunday - Woke up and make Janet and I some Weight Watchers strawberry French toast. Got her home and then came home to do laundry and hide all evidence of a drunken rage from the night before. WF got home.  We snuggled and watched the Oscars while eating left overs. He yelled at the TV about winners and losers I was reminded of hoe much I love him. 

Perfectly wonderful weekend with the girls. 

Yet another reason I love Brad Pitt

I found out about this a long time ago, but since very few of my current readers would know about Yo Gaba Gaba I did not post about it. But since I was talking about him yesterday I thought it would be fitting I post this. Is it odd that I find Brad Pitt even hotter dressed up as DJ Lance Rock?

Now what I want is Brad Pitt dressed up as DJ Lance Rock to DJ at our wedding. That would be freaking awesome no?

BTW- I had several comments about the no Micheal Jackson thing. I think I must rethink my ban on king of pop but honestly he kinda creeps me out. Maybe on my wedding day I wont give a crap and the music will overwhelm me to bust out the WHOLE thriller dance in my wedding dress. Yea, that might happen.

How to get my ass out on the dance floor:

Hire this guy!!!!!

For those of you unfortunate ladies out there who do not know who DJ Lance Rock I shall introduce you! DJ Lance rock is a character from the children's show "Yo Gaba Gaba". He is the magical DJ that turns stuffed animals into real living and dancing things. It is awesome and my two year old niece freaking loves herself some "Yo Gaba Gaba".

So you must be asking yourself why the hell I am talking about DJ Lance Rock. It is because I have decided I would like him to DJ at our wedding. All the other fools I have found are trying to butt rape me with costsand stupid questions. I have found a deal or two and am currently trying to book our DJ by the end of this week. I will let you know how that goes.

In the mean time I have had to come up with a list of DO NOT PLAY (notice the capitals mean business)  music and then music I do like. It is funny I always thought this would be easy to describe. I like big band, standards, good dance music a little bit of top 40 mixed in with classic 90s music. How hard is that right? Well apparently this is not specific enough for Mr. DJ man who needs me to give him a play by play. This is why I wanted to go with an iPod in the first place dammit. So then we go to the infamous DO NOT PLAY list. Did you have one? Do you have recommendations for this? So far this was part of my latest email to one of the DJ candidates:

"No group, conga or circle dancing, chicken dance, electric slide, no line dancing at all in fact! Basically no tacking wedding songs, I know they have their place but not at our wedding. This list is a pretty good do not play list for me as well: 

"Amazed" -- Lonestar

"YMCA" -- Village People
"Mambo #5" -- Lou Bega
"Respect" -- Aretha Franklin
"Ice Ice Baby" -- Vanilla Ice
"Macarena" -- Los Del Rio
Any Eminem
"Can't Get No Satisfaction" -- Rolling Stones
"Proud Mary" -- CCR
"U Can't Touch This" -- MC Hammer
Any Michael Jackson
"Good Riddance" -- Green Day
"Hey There Delilah" -- Plain White Ts

What else should I add to my DO NOT PLAY? Do you have any music description selections that you could give me? It is hard to say what you like.

New Fancy Panties

Sometimes a girl just have to give into the fancy panties. This weekend I had some returns to make at Nordstrom and with the money I got back I was told I must buy something pretty and feminine by my mother. So with that I bought four new pairs of Hankey Pankies, a new bra and my first piece of bridal lingerie. It was super weird shopping in the bridal section as it was my first time looking for what I wanted. I found what I think was cute but I could still sleep in. 

As mentioned I got a new bra. I had not been fitted for a bra since well junior year. I did not know it but I was wearing the totally wrong size bra. The girl sizing me laughed at me when she saw my bra. If you have not done this you should get sized. I think a lot of woman hate wearing bras because they are not wearing the right size. My new bra was $40 on sale at Nordies and totally worth every penny. I feel great! 

The bride is back bitches!

I wanted to sound super hard core to emphasis the fact that I am getting back into bride mode. I am getting married in 6 freaking months! I cant believe it, in six months I will be walking down the isle. So with my well deserved break in wedding planning complete I am back in full force.

First off I/we have changed my bridesmaid dresses. With the help of my sister and countless hours of looking at inspirational photos I have decided to go with JCrew chocolate brown dresses in silk taffeta. Here are some pictures of some of the options the girls can choose from:

(All from JCrew.com)

I like the idea of the girls being able to pick out the dress they want to wear and being able to pick what works best for their body. I also liked that these dress have to potential to be worn at a lot more occasions. The look much less "bridesmaid-y". Everyone seems to be on board and I am really happy that they are OK with the change. I am hoping they will all be able to get them on sale or at least free shipping in the next six months. 

Moving on from there WF is leaving for is bachelor party this weekend. They are going skiing and I am really happy that he is super excited to go. We have spent a lot of time at REI getting him all the stuff he needs. The guys are planning to be on the mountain for a good three days. I hope they have a great time and don't get into too much trouble. If I know these guys though they will take great care of WF!

After he gets back number one priority is going to be booking the honeymoon. Every time we sit down to do it we don't get it done. We MUST at least book our flights but I am hoping to get it all done by the end of this month. I get all stressed because we are going to try to used points from our credit card to buy one of the tickets. I have never done that before so I worry I am not getting a good deal.

Are you happy the bride is back? Look forward to many fun do it yourself projects, planning thoughts, rants and raves over the next few months!
