Moving on Up...

The move was fairly smooth. My fiance came down and picked me and my things up. He stayed overnight, while I finished gathering my things. I'd procrastinated, and later realized I had much more stuff than I'd thought. After we'd packed everything up in the car, my parents drove up into the driveway. Immediately, I felt sad, like I was leaving my daddy. I was just away for two weeks with no problem. And because there is still wedding stuff to be handled, I will be back in three weeks, this time. It's not at all like I'm going to be gone forever.

I teared up, as I hugged my parents goodbye, and again in the car, when my husband-to-be asked me if I was okay. I'm a big baby!

We arrived in town a little late, and we both had to get up and go to work the very next morning. We had a rough time getting up, so we made a promise to get to bed earlier the next night. So far, things have been going quite well. I've been making some money and slowly putting my things away. I have a lot that still needs to be done.

We haven't done any more decorating just yet, but I'll post before-and-after pictures, as we finish the rooms. Maybe I'll include the prices of everything as well, just so you all can gage just how inexpensive it is to personalize your space. I had a day off today. It couldn't have been at a better time; I wasn't feeling so great yesterday, and I was able to sleep in today, get some housework and unpacking done. Currently, I am preparing to cook stuffed chicken breasts, three-cheese mashed potatoes, make a salad, and chill some white wine for dinner. It should be done by the time my fiance gets home from work...if I time it perfectly. It's so hard with him, especially since he believes time is a suggestion. I'm used to it now, but it gets frustrating sometimes when I work on a meal and he's late. Then, I have to go back and reheat it.

Update...

My mother and I picked up my dress from the bridal shop, Sunday. It was still beautiful. I was my dress! I've been second guessing myself on everything, but everytime I've laid eyes on that dress or tried it on, I was still in love with it. I know that I didn't make a mistake on that. I have to go back and have my final alterations done on the 28th of May. This is complete incentive and motivation enough for me to stick to a plan and make sure I don't gain anymore weight. I should have my original body back next week, after the bloating goes away. I haven't been doing bad at all. I actually went to the store and bought lots of low calorie snacks, like muffins, fruit cups, pudding, jello. Hopefully, this will help me out. I've replaced a lot of sweets with cereal. This helped me lose 3 pounds over the last week or two.

I'm also thinking of trying Slimquick or Slim Shots...any votes??? Do either of these really work? If I try them, I'll post any results.
