a reason

So in my last post, I was bitching okay venting about my Sunday night food fest. After therapy today I realized or should I say my therapist helped me realize that although my ultimate goal is to be thin for the wedding next May – my goal is very long term and as a result i’m having a hard time making it “attainable”.

Coincidentally, DH and I had planned to pass by my cousin J’s restaurant today to unofficially book our engagement party for this fall. Although he wasn’t there we totally fell in love with the place (really cozy and urban all at once) and I called him right up and booked an appointment with him tonight to officially book the party. This is when the whole accountability and attainability thing made sense for me… I now have a smaller short term goal to look forward to which will hopefully help keep me on plan. Knowing that I should look my best by lets say September or October will hopefully help me move my ass a little more. So, my short term goal is to lose 20 lbs by our party. I’ve already lost 8lbs so 12lbs shouldn’t be all that difficult! Yay! I’m suuuuuper excited.

In other wedding related news, I decided to start a blog about our wedding. You know, I was talking to a dear friend of mine and she asked me if I was “enjoying every minute” and I kinda didn’t have an answer for her.

Yeah, I’m enjoying it but everything is moving so quickly, life I mean that it’s often really hard to stop and really appreciate every second of it. So, I created a blog, a password protected blog mind you but a blog where I can really chronicle our journey. DH is totally on board, he even suggested printing the whole thing out or burning it onto a DVD later, so we can look back at it in the future!

So, the blog is password protected because obviously there are some pretty personal things going on over there. If you’re interested in knowing the password and such just leave me a comment with an email addy and I’ll definitely send that right over. I just want to limit the number of google searches that find my little wedding niche!
