Hey ladies. I haven't been on the board much over the past week, and I feel like I've missed so much! Some of those threads are just too long to read in their entirety, so I've read some, and made my best guesses about the rest. lol

As for what's going on with me... Weight-wise, I've been stuck at the same weight (248.5) for two weeks. The first week I'd worked pretty-darn hard and was pissed off at the non-moving scale. lol This past week I did pitifully (both eating and working out) and was pretty happy the scale stayed the same instead of going up. I am still down about 18 pounds since I started in Jan... not as much as I'd like. Hopefully I'll bounce back from this slump and get back on track.

I was out of town last Fri- Tuesday for my mother's wedding. My mother who divorced my father less than a year ago, three months shy of their 25th wedding anniversary. My mother who did not ask me to be involved in the wedding at all, not even to hang decorations, when she asked every other family member, and even coworkers to help. My mother who told my brothers to make sure their shirts didn't clash for the pictures, and didn't even mention pictures to me until the photographer called for the family to scoot together and smile. Grrr... I was pretty upset about the whole situation, and was REAL glad no one said anything about me crying during the wedding ceremony since they weren't exactly tears of joy. If my BF hadn't had to work, and had been with me, it wouldn't have been quite so bad, but I was pretty much alone in it all. :(

I'm back in town now, back on the board, and back on the fitness wagon. lol Work is good... Boyfriend and I are good... We are planning our trip to New Orleans for Spring Break- it's only TWO WEEKS AWAY! I can't wait. I am also thinking of bringing up the idea of living together... We have been dating 7+ months, are very much in love, and are definitely adults not interested in the slow track (I'm 25 and he's 31)... We'll see what happens there...

Alrighty. Thanks for listening. I feel better now. :)

-Tina
