WHOOOO!!!  I am sloooooow going but at least I’m going in the right direction!  Last week I was at 143.5, now 143.  I’ll take it!  I have got to stop my bad habit of sneaking in weigh-ins in between my designated day, and at different times during the day though!  I had kind of a rough week with attitude b/c a couple of times I weighed, I was up, then down, then up again (each time by less than 2 pounds, but everyone knows how that feels!  Even 1 pound in the wrong direction can be discouraging).  Anyway, this week, no cheating on that so I can bask in the glory of this new weight!  I love it when I get on the cardio machines at the gym and it asks to put in your weight, and I get to put a new weight in for the first time!!!  :)  That will be tomorrow morning. 

In other news, I got a part-time job as a server at a little family-style restaurant to help pay the wedding bills (77 days to go!!) and it’s actually fun!  I think running my ass off (literally) at this place will help me lose weight more quickly too, as long as I can avoid eating the food (HELLO chicken-fried chicken and GRAVY!!!)

Jacob and I were joking the other day about how grease and gravy are paying for our wedding :)  He said I should get that engraved on his wedding band: “This ring brought to you by… gravy”  hehe

I love him!  He’s working hard too, full time on his regular beat (he’s a cop) and also 2 part-time jobs.  We’ll make it!  Both of us are a little stressed right now, but we know it’s temporary :)  I can’t wait to get married!  But I have 8 more pounds to go first.

 Later taters!!
