Stopping in to let everyone know I did excellent on my ACT! Much better than I would have ever guessed, and so far I have the highest score out of all of my friends that have taken it. I'm so proud of myself and so excited! All that studying must have paid off.

Moon Palace (and all the palace resorts) have wedding packages and they just recently added the free ones. It was super nice and we had a wedding coordinator assigned to us and everything. It was so easy. They of course have add ons to the basic packages- anything from a horse drawn carriage to upgraded cake and flowers...but since it was just us doing this for us we stuck with what was included. It you have any questions let me know! I know Sandals does weddings too. We honeymooned there and LOVED it. Moon Place was wonderful but it came in a very close second to Sandals we thought.

Thanks for the info. I am leaning more toward a Jamaica resort. Been to Cancun and have heard about all the "drug war" troubles going on right now. Haven't been to Jamaica before, though I do know not to stray off property there, as well. Anyway, even though we wouldn't mind getting married now (it is very nice to be dating a man who is NOT a commitment phobe) we will probably wait until 2010.

You know what they say; marry in haste, repent at leisure. Taking your time gives you a chance to plan the wedding you want, and the marriage you want. I always like to recommend "Engaged Encounter." If you don't know about it, look it up online. DH and I volunteer on them 4 times a year.

I haven't heard of it. Will need to check it out. Our story: I'm 35, Chad will be 37 on the 1st, so we aren't spring chickens by any means. We want children, and for some other reasons, it wouldn't hurt to speed up the process. However, we don't really have the money for a big wedding right now...or maybe ever. He's been married before, but I haven't, so I would like the wedding of my dreams, but at what expense?? I'm at that point where I realize it is more realistic and responsible to not spend tons on a wedding! Anyway, I'm not in a huge rush, but wouldn't mind getting married now. Chad would prefer to do it sooner, rather than later. We have talked about Vegas - even my Mom is on board with this idea - and I have thought about the wedding at a honeymoon site and then a party once we come back. So we'll see. Thanks for the reply!

It's put on by the Catholic church, but you don't have to be Catholic to attend or to get lots out of it.
We had a budget wedding, and I have never regretted it. We were able to buy and pay off our house within 15 years, and that's in CA, where houses are very pricey.

Hey everybody! Summer has finally begun and I'm thrilled with the warm weather. I've een sitting outside every afternoon while I have my lunch. My coworkers think I'm nuts because it's 90 degrees, slightly humid and nearly no breeze.

I'm a samer this week. I know I need to get busy and exercise more. I also need to be more diligent when I give myself some freedom, I've been going to far and it's showing on the scale.

Kayla~ Congrats on the high ACT score!! Like most things, a little effort goes a long way.

[MA pigletfan]

[dwheatl]

Down .4 Not too bad when I think about how the week started - eating with relative abandon.
I'm really hoping to take off 2 this week before I leave for London/Paris next Thursday. That will be a challenge, since we're going to a friend's beach house Sunday-Tuesday, and he is an excellent cook. I'll try to focus on the fresh fruit, veggies, and lean protein. That, and daily exercise.

Hey Everybody! This week I'm...

-3.7

Woo hoo! Great job.

Hey peeps. Just wanted to check in and vent a little since I feel like I have no
body right now.

I just found out insurance isnt covering my pregnancy bc they consider it pre-existing. So after trying to find all the options I had there are none except pay cash for every visit and the hospital stay. Only if and when my husbands insurance kicks in will it be covered which is pretty much not set to happen until Sept.

My truck has officially give me its two month notice before death. It has 300,000 miles on it and I had it since it had 11 miles so I can't complain there its been a great 11 years with her. But I don't know if my husbands credit rating is strong enough for a car loan yet I know mine is shot from my student loans.

On top of that my car was broken into and Gps stolen this week. It seriously is just the week from hell.

Im going to go lay on my left side to keep that blood pressure down but I do thank you all for letting me vent..

Well, all that just sucks! I hear they are pratically giving cars away right now...so you may be okay on that front. Sending lots of pixie dust your way, hoping that all works out for you!

 

[ArielSRL]

Well I am +0.8 which isnt so bad considering that I have eaten fairly bad and not worked out except once - on Monday - this week. Anyway, I am (again) recommitting myself - said it, but didn't do it last time - so maybe things will improve. Of course, it is my boyfriend's and dad's birthday next week, so we'll see how it works b/c I am sure there will be a few meals eaten out. Just need to improve on working out, and no cheating other than the bday dinners! Wish me luck!

I am a SAMER. I've just been hovering around the same numbers, and not really going anywhere which is really starting to get to me.

I'm reading Jillian's "Master your Metabolism"... and we're starting to implement it. What she explains really rings true for me, since I have thyroid and hormone issues. I'm hoping that this lifestyle change is going to help. DH is a little hesitant, since he just hears me tell him what she says, but he really wants to read the book, so I think he won't be hesitant for long. My teenage DS is completely on board, and my DD enjoys the shopping for it, and since she gets to help pick out the healthier stuff she would eat, I think that she's in too. For too long it's been hard to cook two different meals... what I eat and what they eat... and what they eat has been creeping on my plate, which has not been good.

I just got back from the store with "approved" foods... and the "bad" foods are headed out the door (DH says if we're going through with this, he wants to donate what we can of it to the food bank). DH liked the healthy and organic stuff that I got from the store, so I hope this is going to be a good thing!!
