What we've got?!

So Ani and Karina came and have gone.  We are going to be trying on some bridesmaid dresses on the 12th of February and we have goals for when we want to have a place, dresses for them and I have a goal for when I want to have for me.  So with goals that are in mind we set forth looking.

Haggard park is the place I want to get married.  It's such a pretty park with a very nice gazebo and fountains and ponds and yeah it's very public but it's so NICE! 

So those are some of the pictures I've found, yes I've been there and yes it's so pretty!

But the reception areas around it must be hotels, or places that don't allow outside catering.  We are looking....but that's about it for now.  We got goals and plans and that's a start right?

Let the planning start!

So this weekend Karina and Ani are coming over and we are busting out the planning.  Let's see how this goes. 

So where do you start?  Of course, finding a place for the wedding and reception???  Well, there is one place I want to have the wedding but finding a reception area is the key.  Then there is the back up plan that just the name of it bothers some people. 

I need to just let the wedding be my planning but some people are just opinionated and I really don't want to hurt their feelings.  I am trying to let everyone feel like they are involved, but how do you let them be involved and still get what you want?  Any of you know please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!


On the other side, there is a bridal fair in McKinney next weekend(22nd) and the Dallas bridal fair is coming up again on the 29th.  I am going on the 22nd but not quite sure I'm going on the 29th because I'll have the kids.  We will see.

So what do I have planned????  Colors-orange and pink
                                                  Flowers-Gerber daisy are the biggest!
                                                  Bridal party-CHECK
                                                  Food-my mom if the place allows outside catering, other wise don't know.

So that's about it.  I have to find a place for all of it, someone to do the ceremony, plan what happens at the reception and everything else.

Alright as far as the weight loss, it's stalled again, like every time after my cycle.  So who knows if or when it will start?!

2 months!

Wow, so I am 2 months!!!!  WHOOP!!!!

I took pictures and I don't know if I can post them.  I'm in my bra and boxer shorts...is that ok to post??? 

Either way we also did some new messurments!  I was shocked OMG I have lost a total of 43 inches off my body!  I mean I didn't even think it was humanly possible to do.  I know I've seen pictures of what others have done I just didn't expect for it to happen. 

Well, what I am doing now is I'm enjoying the weight loss I am still doing good with it and I'm at 50lbs lost and I'm OK with that.  I lost 10lbs after I got my "crimp" fixed so far.  I start my cycle soon (1-9 or 1-10) so my weight loss will slow down for a week or son.  I'm not worried, but I wish I would drop size too. 
I dropped to the 18 tops (could go 16 I'm sure)  but in pants I'm at a 20...the 18's are tight I think(I don't own any yet). 

I'm going to support group next week on the 12th and I'm excited about it.  I didn't quite know how I was going to because of how these group things could be, but I liked it so far.  I get to hear and see how some of those around me are doing and I get good tips of what's going on.  I am hoping to get some recipes!  I need some breakfast ideas.  I want food but I never realized how many breakfast foods are cabs.  Have you?  I did, French toast, beagles, cereal, muffins...the list of breads go on and on.  But come on.  I'm tired of EGGS!  Any ideas?

Happy New Year 2011!

Happy New Year guys!

We are starting the year out with friends and family here at the house.  I'm  babysitting some friends kids and we are enjoying the night tonight.  When the kiddos go to bed we are going to play the WII and watch the ball to drop.  I am going to have a sip of 'bubbly' tonight and see how that goes.  I'm sure it will not be fun or taste all that great, but I got by baby here with me and I'm going to kiss him at midnight.

So what are you guys doing for New Years?  Any traditions you are not doing because of your surgery?  I'm not big on New Years traditions besides the drinking.  But I don't drink when I have my kids here so I'm not missing anything this year I'll tell you that!

Me!

Sean with Zachary

Playing

All the kids Cheers

Happy New Year

Well, that sucks!

Well, so the stall is offical.  I've been at the same weight now for 4weeks.  I went to the DR today and they said I have a stricture.  This is what is causing me to throw up. 

Ok, so this is how to describe it.  The connection to my pouch from my intestine is crempted.  So it's not letting the food pass through to get digested.  Well, if it sits in my pouch to long it has to come back up.  That's what it has been doing.

I'm going to be getting it fixed on Tuesday 28th.  I'll have my 'Nut visit on 30th and Blood work same day.  Go figure the Vampire needs blood again.

Alright, work is killing me.  My BUTT hurts...I swear I'm loosing padding back there and sitting all day just don't help. 

Christmas is here and we are going up to Sean's sisters.  We are also having Christmas when the kids come home on the 27th.  I can't wait!  I miss them alot.  I really don't think I can do the holidays with out them but I'm trying.  I cry alot but I love them and I know their father needs some time with them too.

Alright before I start crying again I'm going to go watch some TV.  Night

Holidays???? OH MY!!!!!

So the Holidays are upon us and what comes with them is FOOD.  Food is every where, parties, work, home; Baking, pies cookies, fudge, it's just every where!

I am baking.  I'm baking several cookies and most of them I'm using splenda.  This is to replace the sugar and hoping that it makes it so I can eat some. 

I've figured if I keep saying I CAN'T eat that then it's just going to be more tempting to do so.  So I desided that doing it in moderation it's ok.

On another note....I've been stalled still...it's sucking!  I have not lost a single pound since the start of december.  Here it is week 3 of the stall and I'm just getting upset.  I have also been throwing up more.  I can't seem to keep anything down.  I'm going to tell my Dr when I see him on the 23rd. 

Alright guys...I'm tired and I'm off to bed...

My Month surg-aversary!

Yes that is a real word because I typed it so it is! 

Ok, so my cycle came and it is so not fun....I've always cramped allot on some months but with my stomach cramping and everything else... ugh...

I have started to loose the weight I gained...only 3more pounds to go and I'll be back down to my lowest.

Ok, so what else is going on?  I went back to work!  I HATE IT!  OMG everything is wrong. 

I'll explain this...I was in a special department and didn't get on the phones (i work in a call center)....now they said "well since you were gone we don't need you so you get to go back to the phones."

Yeah that's what I said (what you said).  So now I'm grumpy and sad and trying to not cry too much.  (it's not working).

Alright, I'm off to make my tuna salad...it's what's making me eat....
