326 days and counting

So, we are talking about getting married. It seems like that means a really long things-to-do list. In general:

  • 'Officially' get engaged
  • Plan a wedding
  • Fix up and sell my house, buy a new house, and move
  • Lose 40 pounds

That's all. Just 4 things. Should be a piece of cake, right? With a tentative date of October 21, 2006, there is plenty of time!

Today is the official start of the weight loss part. Mom and I are going to delve back into the world of Weight Watchers. It worked so well last year, I just hope that I can stick with it and actually lose all of the weight that I re- gained over the last 17 months, plus another 10 pounds or so. And so, it begins....tomorrow. We have to start off with a celebratory trip to Graeter's after the WW meeting tonight. That will be followed by a trip to the grocery store to stock up on all the 'good' stuff. We did that last year and it seemed to work. Maybe I'm being supersticious, but why mess with a good thing?

The 'official' engagement part is totally out of my hands. And I hate waiting. And not knowing what's going to happen - and when! I think the rest of my things-to-do list will fall into place once the 'official' part happens. At least I hope so.
