Day 21

Well, it's been an annoying week at best..
First, the diet I am on has you weighing yourself several times in the beginning, so as I followed it's schedule I began to get increasingly annoyed..on Day 11 it showed that I actually gained .2lbs...what the $#@!..I'm exercising everyday, having shakes for breakfast and lunch and salads for dinner..what do you mean I gained anything?! OK..deep breaths I'll just wait and see for next weigh in ...Day 15 shows I've lost .4lbs...seriously?!....POINT 4...not even a half of a pound?!?!! Did I mention that the salad dressing is low fat and that Bob Hogan ("The Biggest Loser" fame and star of my exercise DVD) is having me do a work out titled BOOT CAMP...and all I get is .4 OK..

My fiance on the other hand has not begun any type of exercise routine, has had BEER, and lost 11 lbs.

SON OF A....

OK, deep breaths, I'm happy for him....really

Seriously, I am happy for him we're not just trying to look good for the wedding we want to get back in shape and be healthier..so good for him!!

I on the other hand am beginning to wonder...did I piss off the diet gods by being sarcastic about the 5.8lbs??? now they must taunt me with the back and forth gain .2 lose .4????

Apparently so, because today, day 21, shows that I have gained the .4 back... I'm about to go postal...

My fiance believes that my metabolism has shut down because I've shocked my body.. oh and he then went on about how muscle weighs more than fat..yada yada yada..What's that you're eating...PEANUT BUTTER!?!...SON OF A...

Fine, I've begun to have small snacks at 10am and 3pm to get my metabolism going..we'll see if this works..if there are no results next week I'm going to need to look for a new diet..

As far as the wedding itself, we've made some progress. We booked the reception site, it's on very pretty grounds that was an old farm and their food is very good. I've also hired a photographer, I really liked her work and it isn't all staged, stiff photos. She does journalistic and cameos as well. She and her husband seemed very nice, in fact yesterday I had a package delivered which had a card from them thanking us for our business and saying how they are looking forward to our wedding, how sweet! It also had a gift box which I opened to find gourmet fudge brownies...really, diet gods...this vendetta..it must end...
