Sara & Ryan's Wishes PJ & TR ~ 8/17/10 WP/GF/Marina ~ 1/22 Thank you!

I'm soooo excited! Jan-Mar is pretty much super busy at work so I know that'll fly by too and the wedding will be here before we know it! I can't believe how close you are now Mandy! Only two months to go!
 
Hey Girls, can't believe Christmas is THIS WEEK! And since I really don't feel like wrapping presents I figured I could procrastinate a little by updating my PJ. :laughing:

So this weekend I read through our LOA and we got that all signed and DF is faxing and mailing that back today. Wow what a lot of legal jargon but I survived! And it's great to know that our wedding really is official now with Disney! :)

I have been looking into flights for our PS for weeks now and the prices were just crazy $400 - $600 per person! Then $400 went away and it was $500-$600 per person. :eek: I was getting so stressed. Airtran had flights at $250 but they had 1 stop. Now the flight from NY to FL is around 3 hours so I really didn't want to stop anywhere. Plus DF does not like flying, and hates landing and takeoff the most, so he told me he'd rather just spend the extra money than have a stop. :confused3 To make matters even worse the times were just terrible. Since we're only there for a few days I really needed a morning flight and an afternoon/evening flight home.

Luckily today I got an email from Travelocity saying there had been some fare changes, and after lots of frustration and checking a few different airlines :scared:, since the rate is not always good for the days you want or is sold out, etc. I finally managed to find some that worked for us.

I'm so excited! So we got our flights on Delta, we'll get to Disney around 11 am on Thursday and our flight home gets in around 2 pm on Sunday. I would have liked a later flight but it would have been $130 more and we probably would just spend more money in that time, so an earlier flight wasn't such a bad option after all. :lmao:. The flights were around $250 each, so I'm so relieved and now we're officially going to our PS! :banana:

Okay, now onto my new focus....Fitness! Since I need to fit into that dress! This is my 3rd week working out, I really like the Jillian videos and being able to do it at home. I hate going to the gym, so this really works for me. Last week I worked out 4x and this week I definitely want to do the same.

I also ordered a few gadgets to help me in my fitness mission. I got a new exercise mat, a nice thick one since we have wood floors and it just kills my back and knees during the workouts. Our thin yoga mat just doesn't cushion at all.

And the one I'm super excited about! A bodybugg! If you've watched the Biggest Loser, this is that thing they wear on their arms. It measures all the calories you burned all day and steps you've taken and then you load all the food you eat onto the website (I already do that on WW, so no difference for me here) and it tells you exactly what your calorie deficit is and how much weight you can expect to lose in a given week.

I was going to get a HRM but they are pretty expensive anyway and this is much more accurate. Plus Costco had a nice discount with a free year membership to the website. I hope I get it soon! I can't wait to begin!

Okay, guess I better start wrapping those presents now!
 
Good for you for getting your fitness plans in gear!!! I have finally started as well, even though I have left it pretty last minute :lmao:

Have you looked into Jet Blue or Southwest for flights? My guests and I are all taking Southwest from Buffalo, and it was literally almost 50% less than all the other airlines. Plus, you can take 2 bags per person!

Thanks! Well I've been freaking out that my dress won't fit, so I gotta get my butt in gear :lmao:.

I did look into JetBlue but their prices are still pretty high. Hopefully there will be a deal, for August I'm sure there should be. We never do Southwest because my parents always drive us to the airport and JFK / LGA are like 15-20 minutes away but Southwest only flies out of McArthur which would be much farther for them and probably take over an hour to get to and since we always like early morning flights, I don't think they would be too happy. ;)
 

Happy New Year everyone!

I can now officially say I'm getting married this year! We're now at 7 1/2 months which is just crazy to me and seems so soon. I told DF he better get crackin' on those favors!

Just a few updates. Last week we went to the bridal store to have my sisters try on and order their dresses. My mom had been annoying me about the dresses always making comments about well what if my sisters didn't like it, bla bla bla. Some of you may remember I had picked out a short dress and then changed my mind because the color wasn't right. It turns out for some reason they thought they wouldn't like the new dress but once they tried it on they did really like it and everyone was happy. It looked really nice on both of them, so it's good to have that out of the way. Now I just need the other three girls to order theirs.

I also got my planner! I missed her call on New Year's Eve but she left me a message and sounded so nice. My Planner is Karen Hane (not sure about spelling), anyone else have her? Next week I should get an email from her assistant Jessie and then the real planning begins! :banana:

There has also been a slight change to our PS trip. A few weeks ago I got the plane tickets and I was all excited about the deal... but I kept having this nagging feeling that something wasn't right so I checked the itinerary last night and it turns out I booked the wrong days! :eek: I booked the flight there on 3/24 instead of 3/25! DF's boss has been really annoying about him taking days off so I was in a panic and it would cost us $300 to cancel and rebook. I told DF and he said it was fine though and so we have an extra day at Disney! :goodvibes I called today and updated our room reservation luckily that pin hadn't expired yet and they still had rooms available. :thumbsup2

I've been using my Bodybugg pretty much all this week and I really love it. It's so motivating to see exactly how many calories you're burning and really gets you motivated to move more. It also makes doing annoying household tasks more appealing because it burns more calories. :laughing:
 
Hey Mandy! So glad to hear it! I haven't really heard of her before so it's good to know you have her too and that you like her! :goodvibes
 
wanted to tell you that i had a body bugg for awhaile and I loved it! it makes fitness so much easier!

That's awesome! It's good to hear that you still loved it after using it for a while. I totally agree, it takes all the guess work out of it. And I love how it shows what your calorie burn would be if you were sedentary for the rest of the day...like if I just sat on my butt the rest of the night...that really helps to motivate me too! :laughing:

yeah for getting a planner!!!!:cool1:

Thanks! I'm so excited to get started! :goodvibes
 
YAY! You got a planner!!!

So exciting!!!
Oh I so can't wait to get one myself.
:dance3:

Keep up the good work with the work outs, they will pay out, don't freak yourself too much about the dress, you will fit just fine, I am sure of it! Sending you tons of pixie dust :wizard:

So glad you could change your PS dates! Can't wait to hear all about it!

I'm so excited! :cutie: You'll get yours before you know it! The time really does fly by.

Aw thanks! You really are making me feel a lot better. I realized after I placed the order that it was probably a size too small. It should be fine since the dress is a corset back, but I definitely need to keep it up with the workouts. Thanks for the pixie dust! :goodvibes

Me too! I can't believe I did that. The day I booked the tickets I was so sure I did everything right too! Oh well, I think I secretly wanted to be in Disney for longer. :laughing:
 
congrats on getting your planner! That's fantastic, now the really fun stuff starts :cool1:

Thanks Wendy! :goodvibes: I'm so excited, she just emailed me today and sent me the PS stuff so I gotta start filling those out. I can't wait!
 
Yay for the planner! Now it's time for the really good stuff. What an awesome mistake! Now you get an extra day in Disney!! And I'm glad your fiance's boss was fine with it. Taking time off can be really stressful.

How do you like the bodybugg? I find it very intrigueing and I'm curious as to whether or not you think it's worth it.

Thanks! I can't wait, I've been planning in my head for so long now, it'll be fun to figure it out for real. :)

I know, it must have been a subconscious way to extend my trip. I could have sworn I booked everything correctly, and I looked it over a few times and never realized it was the wrong day...just shows you how much I wanted to be at Disney for longer. :rotfl:

I don't think DF has told him yet and he'll probably complain, but what can you do, he'll get over it. As long as DF isn't stressing, I'm not going to. ;)

I really LOVE the bodybugg. It's so motivating and makes you more accountable. I've been doing WW and while I really like it and think it really has helped me know what a portion size is and eat better, it was frustrating when I'd have good weeks and bad weeks and not really know why. With the bodybugg I can see exactly what my calorie burn is and what my loss should be. It's also good because you can play around with the ratios. On WW I'm now at 20 points which I find pretty challenging, and I don't even want to think about having to be at 18 points to get to my goal. With the bodybugg as long as I make sure I burn more calories I can eat more too and I don't do well being hungry so that is definitely a good thing! ;)

There's a great deal on them at Costco.com but it's only until 1/31. I haven't weighed in yet, my meeting is on Saturday but I'll let you know how the week went.
 
hey lady! Happy New Year!!! Yay we are BOTH getting married this year! I'm glad your sisters liked the dresses! I'm glad your got your planner, that must be really exciting. I love how you accidentally got an extra day in Disney! You sure you didn't plan that? :rotfl:

I got Jillian's workout for Christmas and i'm very excited to try it! I will let you know how it goes.

Hope everything else is well!
 
Congrats on getting your planner and an extra day at Disney!! I have done something like that before. I went to book Ryan a flight home this past Thanksgiving and instead of booking it from Detroit to Orlando I did Orlando to Detroit! Needless to say it was a lot more expensive going the way he was supposed to go but luckily I noticed within 24 hours and was able to cancel. But, your mistake worked out for you in the end!

7 1/2 months will fly by! It's going to be here so fast! Can't wait to hear more!

Happy New Year! I know, how crazy exciting is that?! :banana: I know, I would have to hear about it forever if they didn't. One of them asked my mom to buy it for her in black too, so I take it that she really likes it. ;)

It is really exciting and I can't wait to meet her in March. Lol, that's what DF said too, although maybe deep down it wasn't really a mistake at all. :cutie:

It was hard in the beginning but those workouts are really great and I'm actually really liking them now...well liking when they're over. :laughing:

Thanks! I'm so excited and happy for the extra day. :goodvibes Oh no! That's terrible but so lucky that you were able to cancel!

I can't believe it's already getting so close, I think I'll really start freaking out when it's 6 months! I'll definitely have an update this weekend! ;)
 
Don't freak out at 6 months, that will make me freak out even more :rotfl:

I am excited for you that your planning session is so soon!!! DO you have any idea yet of what you wanna taste/see/etc?
