So, the past 2 weeks, I’ve been the worst WW member ever. I haven’t gone to my meetings, I haven’t follow the plan, I’ve been eating whatever the fuck I want, whenever the fuck I want… and I gained weight. Wow, quel suprise!
So, today I’m back on program. I ate the number of points I’m allowed AND I worked out… TWICE!
I bought a new thing for the Wii called Wii Fitness Coach which takes your information about yourself and how you are feeling about working out that day and whatever and gives you a personalized work out routine for the day… which changes every day and is pretty nifty. Other than the fact that it requires push-ups, which I’ve never been able to do, it’s awesome and I did a 30 minute work out which was hard, but not so hard that I cried/didn’t want to do anything.
Then Joel was like “We should go walk at the Rec Center” and I was like “Mmkay” and I walked around the track for an hour and 15 minutes! Woohoo! And it was kind of fun and having my iPod blaring in my ears so loud I couldn’t think helped to calm me down because I’ve been panicking about things recently.
So yay for working out and I’m considering doing both of those activities tomorrow, if I’m not too sore. LoL.
I do need to look into finding a knee brace of some description because my right knee hurts, but other than that, yay.
Hopefully I can keep this up!

Okay, I really need to stop having bad puns as my blog post titles…
Anyway, Joel and I are going to be getting married at the Church of the Resurrection in Fairport, NY. Woot woot. This is the church that Joel has been going to for his entire life, so even though he was like “I don’t care where we have it”, I think it should make him happy. AND we found out that Non-Catholics can get married there. *does a happy dance* Although we have to take pre-marital counseling classes, which is kind of scary and intimidating… but Joel has to talk to Sister Joan to find out when we’d need to arrange those for. So, YAY Ceremony site! 
In other, also exciting, news, I lost 2.6 pounds this week at Weight Watchers, after not going to meetings or following the program for 4 weeks!!! So I’ve FINALLY lost 20 pounds!!! well, 20.5 if we’re being technical… but YAY!!!! 20 pounds has been one of my major goals and has been looming evilly just out of reach for a while, so now I feel all successful and stuff!! Once my plague goes away, I will be going to the Perinton Rec Center to work out, to facilitate the weight loss process.
So, YAY Ceremony site and YAY weight loss!!!

because then I’ll break it. LoL.
But I am going back to Weight Watchers tonight and I plan on actually sticking to it and not cheating and actually losing weight. My cousin and my aunt have each lost over 60 pound on WW, so now I have proof that it works. Yes, I’ve heard about other people’s success stories, but it’s never been someone close to me, so that makes it more real. I am also planning on joining the Perinton Rec Center which is $24 a month if you are a student which includes a track, work out room, and swimming pool. Woot. So that should help. My fiance is considering joining as well because he is not particularly happy with the little bit of a tummy that he has.
Still don’t have an exact date for the wedding, although 5/15/2010 seems to be in the forefront… I don’t want to officially choose the date until we know if we have a reception place/ceremony site, which we can’t figure out until we have guest list estimate which I can’t get Joel to work on. I may just assume 150-200 people and start looking at locations more seriously… lalala, still excited to be engaged. Whenever I start feeling upset or unhappy about anything (including non-wedding related things), I can interrupt it with “We’re engaged!!!” and instantly feel better.
It’s kinda funny because I feel like Joel and I have gotten even more lovey-dovey (if that’s possible). I don’t know how that is, but it’s definitely nice. I love my fiance!! (not that I didn’t before, I just felt like reiterating that)
A week until my ring is finished getting resized!!!! Woot Woot!!

It’s been pretty much forever since I posted last… or 20 days.
I got a substitute teaching position at Fairport!! I filled out my paper work last week, got my fingerprint clearance in the mail, told Rachel (manager at Weggies) that I can only work weekends/evenings now, bought some grown-up substitute teach-y clothes… and now I just have to wait for them to call. Waiting…. waiting…. waiting…. doesn’t it suck???
I’m excited for but kinda scared of subbing, I’ve heard such horror stories about it… but it’s getting my foot in the door and once I start, I’ll actually be working towards something productive… and I might feel like less of a waste of space. Woo!
It’s almost Halloween… and I don’t know what I’m doing on the actual day. Sisan and I were talking about going out… Erica and I were talking about going out or watching bad horror movies and drinking wine… Joel suggested Guitar Hero World Tour… maybe we can combine all 3, hmmmmm. Is it sad that there are only 3 people in the Rochester area whose plans I care about? LoL…
Other than that, not too much to report. I actually lost weight last week, after 3 weeks of gaining, so that was awesome… but I didn’t do so well this week with the eating healthy… so I’m nervous about the weigh-in tomorrow.
Lalalalala

Today was the final day in my first week back at Wegmans (although technically according to Wegmans scheduling Sunday counts as the next week, but shhhhhh). I worked over 30 hours this week, which is great because it means about 30 bucks shy of 300 dollars!! but at the same time it kinda sucked because on Monday, I apparently had left the department a mess and didn’t listen to the produce manager and was slacking off… none of which I recall, but Rachel took me aside on Thursday to ask what went wrong and to remind me that she didn’t hire me back just to stand there and look pretty. I know I wasn’t 100% on Monday, but I hadn’t slept the night before and it was my first day back and the first thing that happened was that someone’s order hadn’t been put together! Not that I’m just making excuses, but it was kinda overwhelming. Saturday was the Fairport senior ball so we had over 200 orders and that was ALL we did all day Saturday. I got there at 9:30 and made corsages and boutonnieres until 6:15… with a 20 minute lunch in there somewhere. Luckily corsages/bouts are probably one of my favourite things to do at work, as long as the customer isn’t standing right there as I make it. 30 hours was probably a bit much, when you add in my class and everything else… but I need the money.
Speaking of class, it’s going well, I guess. I still don’t feel like it applies all that much, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be too hard/work-heavy, so I can survive. I’ve gotten to the point in my graduate studies where I am just desperate to get it over with. Knowing that with this class I have broken the boundary into the 2nd half of my program is thoroughly exciting. Although this class that I am taking would have been WAY more helpful before my first practicum, because we are learning all about guided reading and all that b.s. that has to do with younger learners that would’ve been REALLY NICE when I was working with a 2ND GRADER!!!! *sigh* Wow, I just realized that in 4 weeks this class will be done and I’ll be working on my 2nd practicum. Weird, summer classes are crazy short.
I gained 3 pounds this past week, because I didn’t write down ANYTHING I ate… which I guess shows how important the journal is to Weight Watchers success. So that puts my weightloss back at 3 pounds total instead of 6. Boo. But I have been writing everything down and I plan on working out a couple times this week and really working on eating more healthily, so hopefully I’ll be more successful. My friend, Gail, is coming to WW with me… which is nice because it really is easier to lose weight with someone there to support you (and someone to compete with… which I know is NOT what WW is about, but it helps me… oops).
Joel has his first day at eLogic tomorrow and I’m super excited for him. I don’t think he’s excited, because he doesn’t want to be a grown-up yet, but its exciting nonetheless. We’ve also been looking at apartments for him to live in, which has been interesting to say the least. He doesn’t tend to start things without being shoved in the right direction, so I called places and set up appointments and went with him, but now the decision is his, because it will be his apartment, not mine. Although I’ll probably a fair amount of time there… I just can’t live there because his parents would freak out. *sigh*
Being back at Wegmans and surrounded by flowers has gotten me thinking about wedding plans again… even though Joel hasn’t even proposed yet… but I spent most of my shift today planning out what flowers I want in my miiiiind, while helping customers and whatnot. I feel like such a crazy girl. I wish he would just propose so I’d be less insane and more intelligent for planning ahead. LoL. He’s been hinting that it might be soon, which would be great. I want him to do it when he is ready, so I’m thinking it’ll probably be a few months so that he can settle into work/a new apartment before doing it…. or something. I dunno. For all I know, he could hand me a ring tomorrow. I really just need to stop thinking about it. *silly girl*
