Till we're married! To tell you the truth its going very quick...I've got lots to do that I should have done already...not sorted out the photographer yet...oh well, we'll sort something out!
In light of my up coming nuptials (He he!) I've started my fitness program...I'm always trying to be fit. I have a gym membership and I always lose weight right before summer and keep it off all summer long...but start to put it on just before November...and then there's Christmas...such a vicious circle! But not this year! I'm going to lose the weight and keep it off over the winter! I must otherwise I won't fit into my dress!
But here is my progress...I started last Sunday on my new "diet". It's a healthy eating diet...but it's basically re-educating me on what to eat and how much to eat and giving me lots of new ideas...it's been good. But I lost 4lbs the week before I started...Which was great...and this past week I've lost another 3lbs! I was so happy this morning as I stepped on the scales. I know that it's not always going to be like this but as long as I focus and keep motivated then I will succeed.
I've also started running again. I do enjoy running (and it helps with the weight around my hips and thighs!) but I have a bigger goal this year. For the past three years I've run in the Cancer Research "Race for life" and every year I've had the same goal. "To run the whole thing and to do it in less than 30 minutes". The first two years I didn't succeed in either item...but last year I trained a lot...and ran the whole thing and in under 30 minutes. 29:12 to be exact! And it was 32 degrees and there wasn't any shade along the whole route. Needless to say...IT WAS HOT!
So this year...i needed a new Goal. I'm going to do the Cancer Research 10K and my goal...is to run the whole thing and to do it in less than 65 minutes...I have a lot of training to do!
I've not started my fundraising yet but once I do I will post a link so you can all sponsor me! :)
As for our wedding...we're getting it sorted...just last week we decided on our invites, our place holders and our party favours! I've already got my dress and we've decided on the dresses for the girls...it's quite difficult planning a wedding over the Internet...but it will be great fun for all (I hope anyways!)
Till next time!

Your wedding is coming up fast. We have now started talking about the logistics of getting to Jasper. I still need to get at least one outfit maybe two for your big day.
And I can't afford to gain any weight I too would like to loose a few more pounds maybe I shall now I am gardening and walking to work.
Keep up the good work, you're doing great.

Hi! No silly, of course we'd want you at our wedding if we possibly thought you could make it. But it was short notice for people in town, never mind in the country. :) I saw your brother the other day and had a nice chat with him. He didn't get invited either because I figured he'd be in Prince George or something, but apparently he leaves the day after the wedding.
Anyway, I hope you don't go too crazy. 4 months has been kind of nice because I can't deliberate *too* long over things like what paper to print programs on. If you need suggestions, though, let me know!
I did 10K with Michelle yesterday (Sunday) and we made it in just under an hour and a half, walking and jogging combined. We could have made it faster if the route weren't so clogged with other people, but we finished and beat our previous time by 10 minutes so we were happy. Plus we were in better shape than last time, as I wasn't dead immediately afterwards! You can do it~do lots of cardio to get in shape!
