A wedding to plan for...

THANK GOD it isn't mine.  That's done for ever!  :-)  
My cousin, Rebecca is getting married.  Originally it was going to be next December (2010), but she decided now that it will be THIS December 5th in Iowa.  I've been a bit clueless and didn't make that connection, but my mother thankfully reminded me last night.  Lucia is going to be her flower girl, so the fact that it is 4 months away now - yikes!  Not that I have to do anything for it except make sure Lucia gets there in the dress, but I now have "an occasion" to get ready for!  We never go anywhere fancy anymore (i.e. dress up), so I can't wait to have this as a goal for losing more weight - and the thought of getting to buy a new, pretty party dress... yippee!  Let's see.  I'm 45.3 pounds down as of this morning.  4 months away... so realistically, I think I can be somewhere in the 60 pounds down range.  About a pound a week if I can keep going!  Something to shoot for.
Happy Friday!  And I'm putting packages in the mail today for Kathi, Tiffani & Mary... enjoy girls!

You'll knock em dead! How many family/friends will be there that haven't seen you since you've been banded? What a great motivator. And thanks again for the care package. I can't wait to pay some of my stuff forward!

Woohoo for weddings and things to look forward to. Woohoo for packages too!!!

No stressing over this...


And btw - the new pics you look amazing - you're going to put my to shame @ the wedding. Everyone will be focused on you (which is fine b/c i don't like attention on me.)

Always great to dress up for a party and you will knock them dead when they see how slim you are getting...and I am sure Lucia will look adorable and feel like a princess! You can do it!

Thanks All - And Rebecca, I regret to inform you that EVERYONE will be looking at you! It is YOUR day girl! I'm hoping to be in a size 14 bottoms by the wedding, but whatever it is will be great!

Aha! I have two really great wedding-appropriate dresses that I've only worn once or twice. I thought would look great on you, but you will be too thin for them by the wedding! :)

not sure about that Catherine! I'd love to be considered for them... and I will be happy to pay! Let me know ... but if you can find someone else to use them, let me know that too...!
