ugh.

Note to self: Don't skip the sculpting class for a week, then think you can just jump right back in.

I feel so totally weak right now. Granted, he intentionally targeted weak muscles today (tris, inner thigh, shoulders), but I still feel like I should have been stronger. Instead I was shaky, and I had to stop four times in the class, and leave in the middle of the ab workout. I couldn't hack it. And I was only gone a week. I guess it is true what they say...use it or lose it. I've got to make this a habit. I can't just quit whenever I feel like it, or take a week-long break...at least not if I want to improve.

Other than the shakiness, today's going pretty well. I've already drunk 2L of water, and eaten all the food I brought to work, which is typical. I eat everything by 1:30, and then around 3 pm, I wish I had something to nosh on. For instance, I could totally go for some chocolate right now. I've been really enjoying those Dove dark chocolate promise things...and I've even managed to keep my portions under control. For the past two days, I've been bringing just as many to work as I can afford to eat within my plan. Not exactly revolutionary...dieters have been doing this since the dawn of time. For me, though, it's good progress. I used to bring the whole bag and then tell myself that I could stop at one, or five, or whatever. (That was a complete lie, of course, but it was just lying to myself, so what's the harm, right? Right? *crickets*) This way works much better.

Also, Rob just sent a message that the bed people are coming tomorrow between 8:30 and 10 am. Finally. Of course, this means I need to finish painting the master bedroom tonight, but that should be no big deal. We did all but one wall over the past two weekends. The remaining wall is all high-ceiling, though, so we're going to be making heavy use of the ladder. And then there's the fact that we have no sheets or other bedding suitable for a king-sized bed, but that's just details. :) It's finally going to be here! Before the wedding, even.

Speaking of the wedding, it's in 18 days. We still haven't chosen music for the recessional (processional's covered--Jesu, Joy of Men's Desiring and Pachelbel's Canon, classical guitar arrangements), or talked to our pastor about the format of the ceremony. We have no reception playlist, either. I haven't rented the tables and chairs for the rehearsal dinner. I have bought no gifts. The bridesmaids' dresses have not come in yet. I have no shoes, no veil, no tiara, and no wedding night lingerie. Our casual after-reception party has not yet been catered. I still have to buy and assemble favor containers. I have no idea who we're going to ask to do our wedding video. I am moving out of my house after the wedding, and I have packed nothing. (In my defense on that one...we're not taking a honeymoon after the wedding, but I took the week off anyway. Planning to have the movers come that Thursday, since Friday is a holiday.) I'm not entirely sure we're going to be ready to do this in 18 days. But all my family has already booked their flights and hotels, so we'd better be. :) Besides, I always do my best work at the last minute.

I am a church musician and Pachelbel's Canon at weddings makes me want to hurl.

Yikes! Good luck in getting it all together, I am a last minute girl too! I too need to bring in my daily alotment of food. As I eat too much if it's in my drawer waiting for me. And like you, I eat my food by about 1-2pm and get hungry around 3-4. Sigh!!

Ah, another member of the procrastinators club! I sympathize with you and hope you get everything accomplished. I know you will (because that is how us procrastinators work) and enjoy the AAAHHHH moment when it is all done!!

I'm sure your day will be special no matter how much you procrastinate :) Congrats to yourself and Rob!
