Wow, it's been over 2 months! Sorry about that. LIfe is really 'um....full right now. The last 2 months have been pretty much taken up by Juliet's wedding plans. Once the shower was over, it was full steam on the wedding itself. It's been 11 days and I'm still not quite feeling back to normal. Almost but not quite. Once I get some of the pics I'll post a couple for ya. I surprised myself by actually sewing my own dress and both flowergirl petticoats. Didn't know I was capable. I guess there will be more sewing in my future as quickly as I'm shrinking out of my clothes!!! YEAH!!! The last 3 weeks have sidetracked me from my weightloss program but I've only gained .4 lbs. so I don't blame myself too much. I was thrilled to receive soooo many compliments at the wedding, it really made a girl feel good! I have lost a total of 29.6 lbs. so far and am almost halfway to my goalweight. The best part of that is I don't feel fat anymore, I feel normal. I haven't felt that way since, well....since gradeschool. By the time I do hit my goal, which should be in the early spring, I will feel and look like a person I've never met before. STRANGE just thinkin about it!
Matt, I was glad you and Jenna were able to come! Thanks for the compliments on the kids, I agree with you but then I'm biased. hehe. Tell Jenna she's not the only one who wants to steal Trinity. She gets that reaction just about whereever we take her. Makes a mom nervous and very prayerful. Did you realize who the guestbook person at the wediding was? She was wondering if you'd recognize her from her xanga.
Anyways, I'm making it a goal to post once a week on here. It would really help to have lots of comments!!! hint! hint!
Ya'll have a blessed day and thank God you're alive!

Well hullo all my wonderful readers! (basically sisters and airforce personel)
I've now recovered from my first TT workout and have finished the
2nd. I have to say, I'm liking the way this guy thinks. I
spend less time in the gym but feel like I've gotten a much more
thorough workout. Went grocery shopping today and stocked up on
all those natural, unprocessed, healthy foods we Americans don't
recognize most of the time. Felt pretty good knowing I wasn't
spending money on junk that was just gonna make me miserable in the end.
Only one more day to enjoy my 20's. It had better be a great saturday is all I've got to say about that!
Mentally I am divided. Part of me is dancing around in my head
singing, "It's my birthday, it's my birthday!". Another part of
me is very diligently planning menus based on grams of fat, fiber and
protein, and can't wait to jump on the scale again. While still
yet another part of me is becoming increasing consumed with bridal
shower and wedding decorating details.
My sis-in-law's wedding is Labor Day, only like 60-some-odd days
away. My mil let me know the other day how much she wants my help
with the whole thing and that they want me to be the co-hostess for
it. It's not the role I had hoped to play but hey I'm needed!!
I've also offered to throw Juliet's family bridal shower for her.
There are few things I enjoy more than getting to plan and execute a
big party!! And this will be the one gift I can give her that
will be unique and extremely memorable. I love to entertain, and
fortunately for me I get to use my mom's beautiful home for the
location. I will find a way, I promise! to post pictures when
that time comes. It will be classy.

Well yesterday was my first day on Turbulence Training. I started
with the beginner intervals, warm-up and workout A. Those squats
are really HARD! It took much less time getting in and out of the
gym. My legs felt like jello last night, could hardly move them
at all without support but it's alot better this morning. I can
tell I need to up the weight I'm using for the DB rows. I need to make
sure I'm using the proper form & technique for all the
exercises. I should probably make another appointment with Ray
but I'm hesitant. I'm no longer following the program he set up
for me, will he be offended? I'll have to pray about that one for
a few days before I decide what to do. We do not have Weight
Watchers this next tuesday with it being the 4th of July and all.
So I have 2 weeks before my next weigh-in. My goal is to lose 5
lbs. by 7/11/06. That will mean finishing workout A (x3), workout
B (x3), core workout (x6), and beginner intervals (x12).
I will also be working on taking my nutrition to the next level.
I already eat very healthy 75% of the time, now to raise that to 85% of
the time.
I think I need to pick up some heavier dumbells to have here at
home. If I end up running for my intervals, it would be easier to
do the rest here than the gym. Of course a really complete home
gym would be ideal, it will come in time.
Oh I forgot, my weigh-in yesterday! Officially I'm at 193.2, down
18 pounds total. Approximately only 53.2 more to go. Goal
weight is still looking like Valentine's Day 2007.

Well we got back from our trip Sunday about 3pm. Things did not
really go as we planned but we ended up having a good time
anyway. Broken Bow lake IS the most beautiful place I've ever
seen in my life. The mountains are covered in pine trees and some
oak trees and are breathtaking! The lake is absolutely crystal
clear and very, very deep and cold. The state park covers 14,000 square
miles of mountains, lake, multiple creeks and the Mountain Fork
River. It is truly a outdoor lover's paradise, HERE IN
OKLAHOMA!!! We ended up camping right next to the water's edge
with our own private cove. The weather was great except for the
rain all day friday. The fishing wasn't so great for the
guys. I was the only one to catch any, I got 2 rainbow trout and
a pumpkin seed sunfish. I really enjoyed getting out into the COLD
river and fishing upstream in the rapids. There is a good chance
we will end up going back next year but renting a houseboat and camping
on the water.
Now I'm trying to catch up on all the laundry, pick up the house a bit
and return to the daily routine. I've got weigh-in today so I'm
excited to see where I'm at compared to my goal for the week. I
bought an E-book yesterday that I've been researching for the last
month. Turbulence Training for Fat Loss. Can't wait to get
started on the new rountine!
My birthday is next Sunday and I will be the big 30. No longer
able to pretend at times I'm still a kid. 30 is really
offiicially adult. Kinda scary. Anyway my sissy Bethany
gave me my present early, last night. She let me pick out my
haircolor and highlights, then she cut, colored, and highlighted my
hair. The highlights are a little strange for me, not used to them
since I've never really had any before. But I love my new cut and
color, it's perfect for me and very summery. All right that's all
for now. See ya later!
