Holy freaking cow.\u00a0 One week.\u00a0 I get on the plane in ONE WEEK.\u00a0 I’m feeling good about how everything is coming along, but sheesh.\u00a0 That’s very very soon.\u00a0 Here’s a short update on everything.<\/p>\n

Project: Unfluffy Bride<\/strong><\/p>\n

So yesterday I wrote I gained all the weight back that I was so happy to lose weighing in Tuesday.\u00a0 I thought about it and realized there were two things I did differently between the two days.\u00a0 First of all, I gave myself the day off working out on Monday.\u00a0 Second, I had food pretty late.\u00a0 Yesterday I decided to do both of those again (sorta).\u00a0 I ate dinner by 8 and only had a hershey kiss after.\u00a0 I also didn’t do any traditional workout, Zliten and I just went to practice our West Coast Swing for an hour.<\/p>\n

So the verdict?\u00a0 I woke up today at 153.8 lbs.\u00a0 So no more working out ever again, because that’s the way I lose weight, right?\u00a0 Well, in my case, maybe.\u00a0 I thought back on this year, and the “rest periods” I’ve given myself from regular workouts have been approximately 3-4 days in February when I was sick and 2 long weekend vacations where I was walking 3-7 miles per day anyway (both Vegas and New Orleans).\u00a0 I think I’ve earned myself a little siesta week or 2.\u00a0 I think it may possibly been why we have fought so hard on this weight loss thing.\u00a0 I’m getting plenty of sleep, but maybe not enough rest.<\/p>\n

While there is still that little voice in my head saying “if you stop pushing hard you’ll never be able to get it back” it’s only a whisper.\u00a0 I know I can train up to doing anything as hard as I need to.\u00a0 I worked up to a half marathon and was scared I could never run fast again (my 5ks were barely under 30 mins pushing as hard as I can).\u00a0 Now I’m at 26-ish 5ks, and worried that I’ll never be able to run more than 6 miles again, heh.\u00a0 My little goldfish brain always fails to remember that it takes a while to train my body certain ways, and that I can beat any goal for which I properly train and give myself adequate time.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, I did weights this morning and am probably going to do some moderate cardio this evening, either some DDR or go for an easy run if I’m so inclined after work.\u00a0 But I may not.\u00a0 It feels good to give myself that freedom this week.<\/p>\n

Wedding Stuff:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I said yesterday that working with this wedding coordinator is like working with a plank with a nail in it.\u00a0 She has been the most frustrating, obtuse, and perhaps un-people-friendly person to deal with.\u00a0 She sent emails to Zliten and then started berating me over my email about not answering her questions.\u00a0 I was polite through the whole thing although I had NO IDEA what she was talking about, and then once we figured it out we explained to her that she had been sending emails to just him and I don’t see those, and asked if she would cc both of us on all further emails.<\/p>\n

The next email, again, just went to me.\u00a0 No apologies, no small talk, didn’t even acknowledge she had screwed up.\u00a0\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0\u00a0 Like the little button I have from some of the events – this is so going in my yelp review.\u00a0 Right now though, we’re pretty much done dealing with her unless we have last minute guest additions, and I am still deciding on the table linen colors (depending on the centerpieces).\u00a0 Seriously, I hope this is the only time in my life where I spent more than 2 minutes worrying about table linens.<\/p>\n

So I think the to-do and deal with list (oh, my lovely, lovely lists) is down to a finite and tangible amount of stuff:<\/p>\n
