Dr. & Dr. Chokani
For those of you who don't know, my sister Ann-Marie got married this weekend. This wedding has been greatly anticipated by my whole family for alot of reasons but the two biggest were 1- It will finally be over! No more planning, no more projects, no more money! and 2 - This wedding has made our family complete! No more weddings! Well... at least until the neices and nephews grow up. It was bitter sweet. I say that every wedding up until this one was practice for my family - because this wedding really was wonderful - we got everything right that we could and well... as you can see below... it was beautiful! Congratulations you two! Khami - Love her and love her well! We couldn't have come up with someone more perfect for her than you! Ina - Your new Mom loves you and as your new Aunt I will strive to spoil you in every way possible! As you heard from the 'cousin's speach our house is the coolest!!

Reality Shift
Ok - so I'm doing really good on my self made 'program' right... I have the incentive, the motivation and I'm seeing results. Then I got to anticipate those results.
It's funny how when you are not getting on the scale every morning it seems easy to lose the weight... Then I started to get excited about the fact that things were working, so I started to look for the results more regularly... but every morning my scale keeps telling me the same things!
For like 10 days I'm doing my program and my scale is just not co-operating. Not only that... but I found out that if I shift my heels to the outside of the scale I gain like 15 pounds! So! I decided it was time for a new scale!
Jon and I shopped around for a really good scale , because I wanted to know INSTANTLY when my program was paying off... so we ended up with a digital scale from Canadian Tire ($69.00 later) and proudly brought it home. Two things happened after we brought home! 1. I found a similar one a JYSK for $22... of course (so we returned the one from CT and bout the one from JYSK) and 2. I got on it and gained 25 pounds! I mean... I actually didn't physically gain 25 pounds.. but that just goes to show how messed up our old scale was. It's kind of funny actually... because Jon gained 10 pounds too! so.. I'm just trying to reassure myself today that my program is still working - and it doesn't matter what weight the scale reads right now... as long as it is going down.. I will still get to my final destination. I am still motivated! I will prevail!
