Good Morning World.
This is Marnie Broadcasting from weightloss central. Here's an update. I have six days to lose 3 lbs & I am retaining water. *AcK* I know, it doesn't seem like enough time, but I am committed. I'm not going to this wedding feeling like a zoo ass. So here's my plan of attack.
I just went grocery shopping to prepare...Need to "feel" full. Water & tea are the keys here. I have stocked up on tea: green, rasberry, chamomille & the magical diuretic ---dandelion.
Fiber: apples & dried plums
Protein: (my beloved) gen soy bars & eggs
Calcium: non-fat yogurt
Six days.......................It has to be done.

I'm having a good weekend in spite of the fact that I am obsessed with these three pounds. I have to be sure not to let my vanity get the best of my because only crummy, insufferable people are narcissistic. It is just that I want to feel good when I put on this dress next weekend. You can only look fierce if you feel it.
Went out to dinner yesterday. Cozy Italian restaurant. Only one piece of pizza & a dinner salad were ingested. I drank a glass of white wine & an entire bottle of sparkling water (to fill me up).
I also went to this amazing home furnishings store yesterday with The Love. They had the most gorgeous things! The plates & dishes were all so exquisite. Charming tea sets with 14 karat gold, perfect chinz couches, hand painted tables. *oooohaaaaah* I really have to caution against rampant acquisitiveness. Any time you start spending loads of money it sort of kicks you into a very materialistic mindset. Suddenly THINGS seem so important & you get like a junkie always wanting more. (registering for one's bridal shower & shopping in Paris both have a similiar effect). It's like, ok...I love beautiful things & I love to fill my world with beautiful things, but they are just things. They break, rust, burn or fade away. People matter. Love matters. Love is the only thing that lasts into eternity. So I tried to make yesterday's excursion more about spending time w/ my man & less about, "Oh my gawd I have to have that three tier 14 kgold dessert tray!" It was stunning BTW...
Anyway, I'm going to mass in a few minutes & that always helps me to get my head & heart in order. I seem to refocus on the important when I'm talking to God. He's such a good listener. I can only "hear/sense" him talking back when I get really quiet & really still. My appearance & my stuff are all fun distractions but my vocation has to be about being a good person. I help a lot of people at work & for a selfish girl like me it can be exhausting. It is important to recharge on the weekend. Have a mocha, sit in the sun... So Saturday was awesome. Today I start the program...
