What's Goin' On?

Hey, just thought I'd give a little update...

Went red last week! I'm talking BRIGHT FUCKING RED! It's awesome. The receptionist at the salon said I looked like a superhero!!!

Went to a wedding on Friday! Was a beautiful wedding and had almost all of my closest friends of at least 10 years there. I had a great time, ate a lot and danced a lot. And drank a lot! Little was there, but we were cool.

My little cousin cooked dinner for the family on Saturday. He caught scallops and then cooked them with pasta. Soooooooooo fucking good. Was a pretty hefty food week, hopefully I can balance it out this week. I didn't go to WW on Sunday, so I'm hoping this Sunday I'll at least be the same weight I was 2 weeks ago and not more. I had lunch with a friend today (plus delicious Tasti Delite) but I've got kickboxing tonight so I should be good. I feel a little fat though...

Another friend of mine started going to kickboxing with me. Twice so far, so that's nice. She bought the arm band thingies (it's rubber and used for arm exercises) but they didn't have the medium level so she got the hard ones. When we started using them they were too difficult so Maria told her to switch with me b/c I've been here a long time and I should be using the hard ones (I had medium). I was annoyed at first, but I realised the medium WAS getting a little too easy so it's a good thing I switched. I'm getting strong again!! Woohoo! I miss the weightlifting I used to do in high school!



I watched the incredibly predictable chick flick Because I Said So the other day. I don't know what's going on with Diane Keaton, but she was kind of annoying in this movie (AND I hear she's going to be in a movie with Queen Latifah and Katie Holmes where they're stealing money from somewhere). Mandy Moore was cute as usual, she's a much better actress than she was a singer. It was exactly what I expected, a girlie love story with a hot guy (Gabriel Macht, I love him now) that I didn't have to pay too close attention to. I've seen worse and I've seen better. At least I liked the guy in it. Not like Failure to Launch (which was just How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with different actors) with Matthew McConaughey...I don't get why girls like him.) Plus, it had Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore)!! Even though it was a small part, it made me happy. I loved Gilmore Girls!!!

Anyway, that's enough about that shitty movie. I'm really looking forward to The Golden Compass, hopefully Little will see it with me. I also want to see Rendition and Lions For Lambs. Meryl Streep's appearance on The Daily Show got me wanting to see those. She's awesome!

Back to work!

The End.

Not Bad

Little was over today to watch hockey with the boys...it was okay. He came and asked how I was, then hung out with me for 15 minutes after the game before he left. Just talking about whatever. I gave him a few t-shirts I was getting rid of (too big for me, finally letting go, I've got at LEAST 200 t-shirts...)...not bad.

I'll see him on Friday for this wedding. Yes, I got a hot dress. Yes, I did that partially for his sake. Yes, I'm an idiot. But, still, who doesn't want to look hot at a wedding?! ;-) (Also confirmed my hair appointment for Thursday! Should be a redhead for the wedding too!)

Anyway, he was here, then he left and I'm fine. I think it's just really hard to deal with when we're in a public place...I don't know what it is. Well, DEFINITELY I get upset when he's talking to any other girl (that's not someone I'm good friends with)...but it's more than that. I get more possessive or something...weird.

Oh, I also asked him to see Golden Compass with me when it comes out b/c we've both read the books (he read them b/c of me). He said maybe. :-P

Yes, I'm stupid.

The End.

PS I've got a new reader! I gave one of my best friends ever the link. He shall henceforth be known as...McEats. hehehehe

But...but...I LOVE TO EAT!!!!

I gained weight last week. 1.6 lbs. I don't know what I did wrong...I think maybe I had too much coffee and not enough water...but I didn't go over my points!

It wouldn't bother me SO much, except I had planned on gaining weight this week. That sounds funny, but it's just because I had a birthday dinner to go to on Sunday, a wedding on Friday and a family dinner (my cousin's cookin'!) on Saturday. None of which I wanted to really hold back with, so I figured I'd gain some this week, lose it next. But now I have TWO weeks of gaining I'll have to lose! Poop! Plus, I didn't want the extra weight until AFTER I wore the pretty dress for the wedding!!! :-P

On the plus side, I did enjoy a MOST delicious dinner on Sunday! I've been opening my horizons and trying to eat fish more. We went to this little French place (delicious, but slooooooow). I tried at first to be good. I had a mushroom salad (though I did have a spoonful of my neighbor's seafood chowder...fucking awesome!) and for my main course I had pan-seared tilapia with mash and veggies. Absolutely phenomenal!! Sooooo good! However, I also drank almost a whole bottle of Reisling (it was a BYOB place) — only one other person had a glass. And then I decided...fuck it...I'm not a giant, I can do this sometimes...so I had dessert! :) And I LOVED it. It was a linzer bar (like the tarts, only more like brownie shape/texture) with whip. So good. And REAL coffee! (By real I mean, with real milk and sugar instead of skim and splenda!)

So for the last two days (and for the next two), I'm going to be ultra strict, very low-point salads, not using ANY extra weekly points AND for the two days I go to kickboxing I will not use the extra points I gain from that. I'll probably STILL gain, but hopefully I'll keep that gain to a minimum. I'll try to dance a lot at the wedding too! :)

Also, I'm hoping I've got PMS and am a bit bloated b/c that would account for some weight gain! :)

The End.
