Old Married Lady

Well it happened, we tied the knot. It was the most wonderful day of my life to date. I am still riding the bliss train. I have lots of pictures and stories to share but I am at work at the moment so I don't have enough time. I just wanted to let everyone that I was still alive and deeply in love.
I am very much enjoying being Mrs. Gil. Life is good. Love is good.

11 Days!!!!!!!

Oh god

I am having a moment right now of nearly full blown panic. Thinking about only having 19 days to do all the stuff that I feel needs to be done. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. I know that this panic is irrational. Theresa and Sara and Rena gave me a great pep talk yesterday about how it is jsut a party, and there is a part of my brain that understanda that however the larger part of my mind is just firing off left right and center. Guilt about my brothers and Gil's sister not being here because we changed the date it really wearing on me. I know that we did what was right for us but I still fell like we have disapointed people we love. Also I miss my mother more then I have in years. I am over tired and frustrated. The breaks are gone on the car so 3 weeks before the wedding we are going have to pour money that we REALLY don't have into fixing the car. This FGD car always seems to need something really major when our money is earmarked for something else. I feel like people think I am crazy or stupid or flakey for being so worried about this whole thing so I don't even really want to talk about it anymore. But I am scared. I have a constant butterfly in my chest. The only thing I am NOT scared about is marrying Gil. That part I know is going to turn out just fine. but the rest of it makes me want to cry.

I have been meaning to post some of these for a long time (think SNOW) so I am going to do it TODAY!!

Holy Sweet Jesus!

Man we are getting married in 28 days! If you want to know why I haven't been posting much now you know. Even the smallest of weddings seem to take so much time and energy to plan. and ours isn't all that small. not huge, but not small. 45 people, which is really just our good friends and family. Not even all our family, none of our siblings are able to make it because of the date change, which has been the source of MANY tears in the past week. I have become so emotional, even more then usual if you can picture that!
I feel like I have been living to shop recently. Man weddings are expensive. I can't even imagin if we were going for a BIG wedding. We went today to this cool wholesale place to buy flats of pop, it was wicked. It is the kind of place where shop owners go to get supplies. Also the prices were amazing. We have a tonne of booze and pop sitting in our basement now, it is very cool. We bought our wedding rings this week, that rocked and brought a LOT of tears to my eyes. I can't wait to have that ring on my finger.
Gil is down stairs right now making us some dinner on the BBQ. I am relaxing. I love relaxing. I had a massage today at the Interlude. It was so amazing. I feel so spoild. I am getting ready for a walk with Sara and then we are going up the hill tonight to drink "Laura Sunrise's" and relax some more.
Tomorrow is my shower which I am SOOOO excited for. I will fill you in with all the details later but now I have to go help Gil find masking tape.
Yeah!

the count down....

Well here we are, 41 days until the wedding. Everything is in full swing and I am starting to feel really good about everything. There was a while there I was starting to think that we had made a mistake in changing the date. Most crucially our decision meant that a few very key people were not going to be able to join us, like our siblings. That really sucks, and it plays on my mind a lot.
However I am looking forward to the event. I am really looking forward to a good party but most of all I am looking forward to being Gil's wife. Every day that goes by I find more reasons why I love him. He is such a good man. And he is mine.

I have not given up...

Although I have been very busy I have still be writitng. I have been trying things over at LiveJournal. While it does have some features I like a lot I think I still like it here better. I think I am going to switch back. If you want to catch up on what has been going on over there you can check it out at http://mmed.livejournal.com/

Now that I have writen on both today I really like Blogger a lot better. Maybe just because I know it better.
All right I'll be back to write more later but now it is time for breakfast! Woo!

What not to wear...

I love Hello Kitty, I mean really I am pretty much obsesed however when planning my wedding even I would not go this far! Or this! or even this! You I am starting to look down right normal!

Okay that is three posts in one day, I am going to bed!

Because Truth really is stranger then Fiction

I am still scratching my head over this one but it just keeps me going back to Fark for more.

A shout out to my Fab Big Brother!

My brother is SO cool and I wanted him to know it. Check out his WAY amazing shop which he owns and operates with his equally amazing partner Simon.

I love you guys!

Hola!

Well yesterday was weigh in day and I lost 3 more Lbs. For those of you who are following along at home that is a grand total of 22lbs. Needless to say I am pretty proud of myself. I would love to say it was an easy week and the pounds just flew off but I feel like I really worked for them this week. I had a tough weekend that included a total break down in the middle of the Superstore because I thought my sweetbaboo had left me (in reality he had gone to get something out of the freezer and was totally baffeld but sympathtic about my breakdown). Some days it is REALLY hard to not just eat what everyone else is eatting. It is hard to have to think before just chomping down. There are moments I HATE having to figure out how many points are in a meal 'cause I just want to eat and have it over with. However those times of frustration are totally out weighed (haha get it?!) by the sheer joy of seeing the pounds come off. I can wear clothes now I haven't worn in ages. I can actually see a change in my face and DAMN that feels good.
I am also starting to figure out my triggers. What drives me to the point where I just don't care what goes in my mouth. Of course stress but not all stress as it turns out and the more I understand that the easier this gets. Also being tired or too hungry which means I snack a LOT more on heathy stuff because once I am starving then I just break down.
Anyway enough about my weight...
In other news...
Wedding planning is getting into fuller swing. I had a little brunch-ish meeting with my girls on Sunday so I could get everyone on the same page. It was a little stressful. I am trying so hard not to be Bride-Zilla but I have very clear ideas what I want. I want to leave this wedding with the same # of girl friends that I went into it with. I know having little meetings might seem a little crazy but I am ALL about the communtication and the more they get to meet with each othe and with me the less everyone is guessing about when I want.
Well my lunch break is over and I have to get back to my desk.

The absent Meg

Sorry I have not been around much as of late but things have been crazy busy. So far I have lost a grand total of 19lbs at Weight Watchers. I am feeling great and have really started to notice some changes both in my body and in my spirit. I got a membership to a gym and I go 4-5 days a week. I have energy I only ever dreamed of having (except tonight when I am hot and tired) and for the first time in a long time I really believe that this is something I can do.
Not to mention the fact that we have a wedding coming up in 388 days and I have to get my ass in gear! I am having the first official meeting of the maids this weekend and am very excited. I want this to be a FUN process. I also want this to be a calm, relaxed and easy process. Basically I wnat everyone to do what I ask and make my life easy *giggle* but I promise not to be a Bride-zilla.
I am having a hard time finding a pattern for my dress. But I am just going to keep breathing thatis the only thing to do.
So I am sorry I haven't been around much but I will try and put in more of an effort. Now I am off to bed for an early night 'cause the gym just killed me today.

I HAVE LOST 17lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!

Well I can't dispute the facts, so far WW is working for me. As of this morning I have lost 12.6 lbs.
I mean holy shit!! I have lost a bag of potatoes! I have no idea from where, I don't really feel any different but I could fall down on the ground and kiss someone's feet with gratitude. I know that it will get harder, I know that there comes a point when you don't lose so much a week, I know that there will come plateau's and I will feel like quitting but for right this moment I am on top of the world. Gil has been so supportive, when I came out from being weighed this morning I cried. They were happy tears but I still bawled like a baby. I was sure last week was going to have beena fluke or a mistake and I was going to be jsut as heavy as that first night, as the night with Shannon when I stepped on the scale in my living room, but I was wrong. I always expect the worse from myself but Gil always see the good. He is such a gift to me. He is heading back to PEI this week and I know with him gone I will be tempted to eat out of boredom but I am not going to let myself. I like the high that I am getting from success and I don't want that to end. YAY ME!

YAY!!!!!!!!!

I lost 7lbs. my first week on weight watchers!! I am so stoked! I feel so great right now. YAY!
