I Lost Weight Where?!

I'm not really TRYING to lose weight, but I have been trying to tone up for the big event.  Somehow I managed to lose 5lbs.  So I go to try my dress on with all my accessories so I can see what it all looks like together.  And whuddaya know...I lost all 5 lbs. in the boob area.  Great!  (Well probably not all 5, lol)I am already lacking in that department so this, my friends, is a slap in the face.  Why not in the thighs or butt area?  Did it have to be THERE?!  I was already going to have to stuff my bra to give the appearance of something, but now I'm going to need it taken in before that even works!

I don't want to be overflowing or anything, but I did want to look a little curvier in my strapless gown.  It just stinks because when I bought it, it fit perfectly.  I knew I'd need it hemmed a little bit, but I wasn't expecting to have to do an overhaul.  It could always be worse I guess.

On to other things...SHOES!  All along I had wanted to do a color, but most of the traditionalists that I talked to poo pooed that.  BUT since it's MY wedding, I said to hell with them and bought green shoes anyway, lol.  Thanks to Officially Mrs. @ Thirty Something, I found the perfect pair!

I can not wait to wear these!!  And if anyone else is looking for the perfect shoe, buy Nina Shoes, I have only worn them around the house, but they feel great!

We're Into It!

Head on over to Hope Studios to link up and share what you're "in to" at this moment!

Here I go:

 

New snow boots!  Actually, the first pair I've ever owned!  I used to borrow my grandmother's with a wedge heel when I was a kid...you know the one's, Tina!

Air Plants...for people with a Black Thumb...a little water, no dirt, no joke!  I got mine from here.  I will be going back for more soon!

 

Anything Made by Lindt...we always have them in the house.  It's more of an obsession really.  Couldn't resist the carrots this time!

 

Here's one for my Sweetie Pie...he's totally into ice fishing right now, this is his bucket-o-gear.

 

And finally, we LOVE to hike in the snowy park right now.  I took this a couple of weeks ago, so peaceful :o)

Hope you enjoyed my list!

Music Brain Fart

My sweetie and I have been together for almost 5 years...and we don't have a "song."  Is that bad?  Well it's turning out to be a huge dilemma because we can't decide on our first dance song.  I keep coming up with all of these beautiful melodies and I always get shot down.  He says, "We'll put it on the list."  Arg, that means he doesn't like it.  

We want something a little out of the box.  He LOVES music and has way more songs on his iPod than I will ever have in this lifetime.  But we still can't choose!  It's getting a little frustrating.  Also the fact that we have NEVER danced together.  Again, is that bad? 

Hopefully we'll get it together soon.  In the meantime...any suggestions?!!!

Wordless Wednesday - Sun Dog

 

A "Sun Dog" (I'm sure there is a technical name, but I like this one!) occurs when sun light passes through ice crystals in the atmosphere creating this beautiful reflection.  Can happen throughout the year, but more commonly in the winter months when the sun sits closer to the horizon.  This was taken from outside of my house :o)

Also, another blogger posted her Sun Dog picture today too...I'm not copying, I had been wanting to post this for a while!

Working Out

Ack.  So NOT my favorite thing to be doing.  I like being active by hiking or biking or playing Frisbee or any OTHER list of things.  But since it's been cold outside, I can't do much of that.  

I've taken to The Firm.  There are a couple of the DVD's that I can get through and I semi-enjoy how I feel afterward.  But I tried a new one today and I swear those girls must have taken a serious dose of Speed before filming.  I could barely keep up!  I'm not completely uncoordinated, but holy Chipmunks, Batman!  Slow down!!  So now I don't feel like I even had a work out today.  So annoying.

I gave a few Jillian DVD's a glance at the Wally World the other day (pre-Biggest Loser), but she's a beast.  I'm afraid that if I stare at her for too long she'll steal my soul.  I'm just looking to tone up a bit for the wedding/honeymoon, not be tortured to within inches of my life.  But I won't count it out if any of you guys suggest I give it a whirl.

Ooh!  Going to pick my e- ring up tonight!  I sent it out to have it spruced up.  It's white gold and needed to be touched up.  I've been wearing one of my mom's rings so I don't feel naked  :o)  

For your wedding viewing pleasure, here are our wedding bands!!

Hope you guys have a great week!!!  I'll be back to an old workout tomorrow!
