Lisa and Michael

My Mac crashed the other night. Lisa is going to go with me to the Apple store tomorrow to get my Mac working again. She must really love me to hang out with geeks for an hour or so!

I don’t know what Lisa is worried about, she looks fabulous. Don’t fret, doll, your tan lines will be gone by June, and I can’t figure out why you’re so worried about your diet.

Today is my 7th year tobacco free. How cool is that? Plus, it’s 7 weeks until our wedding day. Coincidence? I think not.

Michael has been exercising and eating a healthy diet and looks great with his recent weight loss! I’m jealous as I keep slipping with my sorta-sometimes healthy diet slip ups… but I have started shopping for cruise clothes and I’m in a size 2 so there! Let’s just hope I can keep it for a while longer.

So now we have started our tanning sessions. I think they are going pretty good and I see color on Michael. I’m already kind of brown, so I won’t need that much-just enough to even things out I guess.

The big challenge right now is getting the little one out of High School already!! What a busy time with graduation and planning a graduation party. Of course she wants a dance party in the backyard. We hired the D.J. and have the food planned and we got invitations ready, however she just left my office requesting that I get about 25-30 more invites for her!! How many kids will we have that night?? We have plans of inviting all the neighbors since they will hear the music anyway. I just hope they are still speaking to us after this one…

I went on a run this afternoon (about half of which involved walking) and all I could think about was a carne asada burrito and an ice cold Negra Modelo. Yum.

Seeing the muffin top in the mirror was enough to put an end to that.

And that means we are less than 8 weeks away from our big day.

We are nearly done with everything. Plane tickets are purchased, hotel reservations completed, cruise paid for, ground transportation researched. Whew! A lot of work, but a fun process.

The invites will be sent this weekend and we’ll get my wardrobe in the coming weeks. The list is getting shorter and we are getting excited to go on the trip and get married!

I am also down about 18 pounds since last August. I am feeling good and looking good, and I hope the diet has helped bring down my triglycerides, which was a bit high at the start of the year. The nice side effect is I have lost considerable weight and I am about half-way to my year-end goal of shedding 40+ pounds. I don’t want to be a fat tub of goo anymore.

Wow, 8 more weeks!
