So, this weekend I am attending the wedding of a close childhood friend. I'll see plenty of people I have not laid eyes on in along time, high school and college friends alike. Sure, I am excited, but I have to attend Dio-less since the bride has never met him. Everyone will have a date but me. It sucks flying these things completely solo. Surrounded by couples. Most of my high school friends are either engaged or married at this point. I mean, we are 28. I have gotten to the age where it is officially OK to be married by now. No one will exclaim "Oh, you're too young! Wait a while!" More often than not, when you get to this age, people are wondering why you AREN'T married. So, without my beautiful baby on board, I am going to be feeling a wee bit vulnerable. Of course, I'll have the pictures on my camera phone, so I can at least prove that someone out there loves me.
On top of that, I didn't even come CLOSE to losing the amount of weight I wanted to by April 30th. I ordered my CoreSecrets and bought my 5 pound hand weights just a little too late to make any real dent in my physique. I started eating Special K twice a day just a week ago. Although I do FEEL a bit thinner, my jeans are telling me it ain't so.
I started out to lose weight way back in January. That month went by quite quickly and it was filled with holiday leftovers and plenty of booze.
I resolved to buckle down in February, but the dreary days and depression were eased by my friend's at Pepe's.
March came in like a lion, and my padded tummy finally saw the inside of a gym. Three whole times! But my cabin fever often lead to drinking binges that led to late night Taco Bell. Coupled with the fact that people in love just love to eat out three times a week and what they love to eat usually can be found in the fried foods section of the menu.
So that brings us to April.
Hi April!
It hit me like a ton of bricks that I only had 30 days to shape up or ship out. So instead of working out, I started tanning, reasoning that black is slimming and if my whole body is black, I'll look at least 10 pounds thinner.
Did that pan out?
Not so much.
But on April 6th, I started doing Core Secrets, and holy heck! It's addicting! I am doing it again tonight. 4 days a week so far!
Now I have all these delusions of grandeur. Fuck it! I can look like Brooke Burke! I am going to be able to wear belly tops for the first time ever! I WILL STICK WITH THIS! That DVD is NEVER going to see a layer of dust! Doing crunches on a huge inflated ball is fucking fun!
Why didn't I start this sooner?
I am such a damn procrastinator. I don't yet have a dress or a present. I don't even know where the damned invitation has gone to, so I am not sure where the wedding is even taking place. Since I don't drive, I also have no idea how I am even going to get there.
I'm a mess.
Come back on Friday. Since I have weddings on the brain this week, I am going to post my ideal wedding, complete with illustrations. It'll be a hoot!
