Progress
Title courtesy of a band called Mute Math. Check them out. I highly suggest the song "Typical" as its an amazing tune.
So its midweek and I'm sitting in the office just plugging along and thought I'd post. I'm actually making some progress this week, with many a different things! If that makes any sense. The exercise and diet are coming along nicely this week, for the first time in awhile. I think its because I know I only have six months to do this, and its now or never, especially if I want to slim down for our engagement pictures in the spring. The scale is actually moving in my favor this week, and it should continue to do so for a long time if I can stick with this momentum I've got going and don't get sidetracked by anything crappy. I'm really excited about everything, and I think I'm funneling that into developing some good habits that I'll need for the next six months or so.
Missy is super excited too. She went yesterday to a bridal salon to meet the people from Newsday, and they picked out a dress and accessories for her. She doesn't get to keep anything, unfortunately. Its probably in Newsday's best interest, since she said one girl picked out a Vera Wang gown that started at $11,000. I don't see a paper footing the bill for that. Maybe just for the rental, but not the purchase! She can't wait until the photo shoot on Tuesday, and even though she doesn't win anything, they will interview her and do a little story on all the brides in the section. So my name will most likely get in there somehow. Is it wrong that I really hope Elena and her family see it? I know Missy is going to look great, since she's so tall, skinny, and I might as well say it, just plain hot. My boss seems to have a huge crush on her, and just refers to her as "Legs." I don't know if I should be flattered or offended? I think I'm flattered. He did promise me that once I get married all that talk will stop. So that's cool.
Missy is also very excited, because for the past month her latest obsession has been going to spinning classes at my gym. She even joined, because its cheaper for her to pay monthly than it is to pay a $10 visitors fee every time she wants to take a class. We even went out on Sunday and bought special cycling shoes for better support for our feet. We also had to buy these little clips to put on the bottom of the shoes to clip into the pedals, because it allows us to pull up as we pedal instead of just pushing down, and thats supposed to work different muscles and provide a better workout. They were a little pricey, but its all worth it in the name of a good workout. And considering how much we spin, at least 3 or 4 times a week, we'll get good use out of the shoes. I used them Monday night at a class, and she's psyched to use them tonight for the first time.
So that's about it from me. Nothing else new or exciting to report. Just the same old, same old. Take it easy party people!
