June 5th update

Hey, whoever's reading this (whether it's nobody, or somebody...)! I'm getting better at this blogging at least once a month thing, right? ;)

Anyways, today was a good day. My mom and I found a florist to do the wedding, so check that off the list! Here's what I have done so far: Bought my dress
                                                          Booked the officiant
                                                          Booked the venue (ceremony and reception at the same place!)
                                                          Booked a DJ
                                                          Honeymoon is almost booked
                                                          Booked the florist
                                                          Made an appointment for bridesmaids dresses
                                                          Sent out Save the Dates
                                                          Booked the photographer
                                                          Ordered the photo booth
...That's it so far.

Oh, and guess what? I've lost 12 and a half pounds in the last 3-4 months! Even I can say (hopefully without sounding conceited) that I look great! I wasn't exactly "heavy" or overweight before, but I definitely wasn't thin. I hated the way I looked and honestly it made me sad. So I decided to do something about it. I'd put up my weight loss photos but I'm sure you don't want to see me in my underwear (especially in the before pictures!) I'm so proud of myself. I got motivated and pushed myself, and it worked. I fell off the wagon for like 2 weeks but I'm back on. I'm cutting calories and working out. I started with doing workouts I found on fitness blogs, then started doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, but it made me miserable and I HATED doing it. Why do exercise you don't enjoy? Thankfully, I have the Wii Fit, which I've been using. I love it! It's so fun, and it works you out, so why not? I also stopped drinking soda; water and seltzer for me!

Ava's been doing well, too. She got sick last week, and wanted to lay in bed with me all day. Is it mean to say I enjoyed it? I got to be a bum all day, and I snuggled with my baby all day too. I missed cuddling with her. She's been walking all over and loves bothering our new cat (yes, new cat; or should I say, kitten) and watching Elmo. She loves both of them. In fact, we named the kitten Bo, after the funny way Ava calls Elmo "Mo". Unfortunately, she likes picking Bo up by the neck... and tail. She also likes to hit the cat; I can't get her to stop! She also likes eating bread. A lot. And nothing on it! Just plain bread. That's my healthy girl!

I better go, it's time to watch Unsolved Mysteries, have a small snack, do my night time yoga, and go to bed. G'nite everyone!
