Not so bloggable...

I think that would describe my life lately...

Busy does not always equal bloggable.

So, I started Weight Watchers. I suck at it. Steph says I started at a really bad BAD time. I think she's right. I can't help it that I am such an on impulse kinda gal though. The idea popped and my head and two minutes later BAM signed up. In my head I was on my way to my goal and I was going to get there quick fast and in a hurry...not so much. Everyone is asking why I wanted to start the program - I think that is silly. Why does anyone want to start a weight loss program.....to lose weight maybe? I have mastered the art of layering clothes and making double sure not to wear anything that results in rollage. Underneath this artful covering - there is some risky business happening - esp. with our wedding year coming up. Yeah. Wedding year. It's serious. Anyway - I have 10 lbs to lose. I will not accept losing 10lbs of water weight. I want 10 lbs GONE and in its place nice toned arms and a half decent tummy. A girl can dream ;) Let me tell you how WW has gone so far....I go over my points. Every single day. I  bet I went over at least 10 pts. Saturday night. Lets not get into today. Geez. I think they should have like WW for the work week - like give so many pts. that splurging sat and sunday is totally ok and encouraged. Hmmmmm......
I plan on getting better - the candy in the house is almost gone (not from Halloween, don't get crazy - I bought some Christmas candy) anyway - we've gone through most of that so I see an easier road ahead. Boot camp starts January 10th. Im super amped about that....me, boot camp, and WW combined is going to be Fab-U-lous....by March (our engagment pics) little late I know but my photographer said the light is great in march??? anyway by March I hope to be at least be 5 non water weight lbs lighter. Fingers crossed!!!!

Ok - enough rambling.
This weekend was fun....Saturday night J and I went out to eat and then went to Home Depot and Hobby Lobby to get stuff to finish my wooden Christmas tree my Dad made for us. Yes, he rocks. We have a tradition at Mom and Dads - every year we take a picture with Santa. This is no ordinary Santa. He is our personal super special Santa. Dad made him. Lynsey and I kinda helped. We were like 4&7 so not really. He cut him out of plywood and painted him from head to toe. I remember watching him thinking that he was the coolest Dad around and the was the most talented man in town (that so rhymed!) yeah sooooo here he is (Santa, not my Dad) :) Awesome right?!

anway - this year at Thanksgiving I mentioned to Dad that I would love to have something for our house kinda of like Santa. I came up with the christmas tree idea and drew out a plan for him. He laughed it off and said maybe for next christmas - well since my Dad is so freakin' awesome who has a tree for THIS Christmas?? ME and JAMES! James had to drop my parents off at that airport Saturday morning and my tree was delivered! So cool! Dad said we had to finish it though since it was going to become one of our traditions. I'm ok with that. Can't wait to post the results. Don't worry I will post a complete before and after deal. Wouldn't want you to be disappointed ;)

Super excited about this week - Tomorrow mani/pedi Tuesday girls dinner and this weeekend is full of fun parties with friends that I miss a lot since we are all growing up and have adult lives and priorities...no more nightly bar hops. sigh. anyway looking forward to the week!

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend - and has an even better week!

XOXO
