Skinny it up!
Well, Operation "No Fat Brides" is in effect, you'll all be happy to know. I've been working out diligently and watching what I eat for like a whole week. And, when I say watching what I eat, I mean it in the most literal sense. I don't really feel any thinner, but I'm thinking that it'll melt off all at once - keep em' crossed. I could probably speed up this process if I tried to moderate my drinking, but heck, I've got like ten months, so there's no need to go to that crazy extreme! This whole operation wouldn't be that essential if it weren't for the fact that my fiance has no body fat at all, and only out weighs me by about two pounds. Oh well, I'll look at it as incentive to achieve my new year's resolution of being in the best shape of my life.
In regard to my quest to learn how to be married, I gave it some good practice this weekend. On Saturday I did a bunch of laundry and emptied the dishwasher. I was feeling ahead of the game until Brian came home from work, finished the laundry, made the bed, and cleaned the room. Sonofa! Brian's ahead of me on half my resolutions. Perhaps, I should make the "learning how to be married" resolution less competitive with my future spouse. I may be missing the point.
I have to say, I'm very impressed that I've got my loyal blog readers back here so quickly! I feel kind of like a celebrity. Thank you Shannon for pointing out that it has been said that the definition of "hilarious" is Naomi!

Naomi, you never follow my example about getting skinny. You have to go through really horrible breakups so that you just don't want to eat because you feel like you're going to vomit all the time.
I know you can't break up with Brian, but maybe you and Mike could have a blowout - that's a close substitute, right? I could give Mike some choice lines from D that I received today. They're very effective and will put you right in that state of self-loathing, depression, and disgust to make all food inedible and shave the pounds right off.
If my New Year's Resolution for no more breakups keeps moving forward at this disastrous clip, I will weigh 2 pounds in time for your wedding :)
Yayyyyy for you being back! Some of us loyal readers never quite left; we just checked less frequently while pining away for your hilarity to return. :)
I'm supposedly getting all bride skinny too, but so far the lure of delicious food and beer has undermined my plans. I've started working out a bit though, which is a marked improvement over my laziness of the last months, so I'm hoping that as a reward the pounds just melt off!
Looking forward to reading more of your blogs... maybe you can teach me how to be married too. So far I've learned that Scott thinks the key to a happy marriage involves us getting a housekeeper. :)
i am switching to the beer and cheese diet right away so you don't develop an eating disorder.
Well the "skinny mom of the bride" was going okay until I discovered how delicious some of the homemade candy Ilona gave us for Christmas was and I ate most of it in one sitting. As for Brian, I guess you picked the right guy, he cleans, makes the bed, does laundry and will even eat to keep you from getting an eating disorder, your father won't even let me hold the remote!
I will second leslie's comment the key to a happy marriage is hiring a housekeeper. If I could afford one, Ted and I would resolve 90% of our disputes :) Oh yeah nomes, I've been getting up at 6:15am to run before work. Mission "not look TOO fat next to my skinny sister in October" is in effect.
Mom says the solution to not wanting to be fat at your wedding is to get pregnant, she said then its ok to be fat... I'm not so sure she understands the point of my mission. Also I think it may be time to get mom a puppy.
Laura and Boris have a housekeeper. They're happily married.
We have a housekeeper and still find lots of stuff to fight about. I don't think that's the total solution to a happy marriage, it might be a little more than that.
Naomi - are the commenters allowed to ignore your blog entry and just talk to directly each other? Because if so, Christine I'm thinking that your Mom's solution to pretty much anything is pregnancy resulting in grandchild. Now this may, and I stress may, be limited to the solutions of Naomi's immediate problems, which would result in her being pregnant at her wedding.
I had a calling...I don't know what it was that made me check your blog, maybe it was the fact that I was stuck in school for two hours with nothing to do, but keep it up.
My resolution was two do sit ups everyday and so far I think I've done them maybe three times, also I want to remain focused on my school work, so maybe since I'm in the school library I should go do my homework...
Anyway, kudos to you for staying focused. You are my idol!
Ann, of course we can talk to each other. That's the beauty of the blog.
"Mom" can have the remote...no puppy. "Dad"
Um... hello... I work at a fitness magazine. What do you want to do? Blast belly fat? Burn 3,000 calories fast? You KNOW I have every 8-week plan known to God at my fingertips.
You tell me what you want to do, I'll send you the issue.
We need them all Rach!
I've started working out too, but my motivation is more of the "stay busy so you don't notice that you're all alone and have no friends while your husband is gone" variety. Getting in shape will hopefully be an added bonus :)
p.s. housekeeper = awesome
