So, my period came and I went off everything cold turkey since I knew the PM was coming in. My plan was to start taking it Friday, but it didn't come in until today so I will start in the morning. I am also back on the pill so I probably won't cycle it unless I notice it screwing me up.
In other news it is supposed to be the coldest winter in TN in a decade, so my fiance and I decided to move up the reception which was November 2nd since we were having a barn reception and I didn't need to have a bunch of grandma-cicles walking around. Our ceremony and reception were two different days since the ceremony was private and my cousin from out of the country wanted to be there yada yada yada.... everything is now in 26 days. Which means I only have to fit into my wedding dress once... which means my nbe is full steam ahead! I will be adding heating pads, more massages, etc. on top of the PM.
I am just hoping that stress doesn't kill my progress. I didn't seem to lose much despite not massaging or taking supplements during my period. They might be smaller, but they are still full looking. However, things are getting crazy and I am barely sleeping now... (PERSONAL RANT TIME. FEEL FREE TO SKIP AHEAD.) I am getting married in 26 days, which is stressful enough. The fiance and I chose to go on a trip to Scotland and skip a wedding. We were fine getting hitched at the courthouse. Mom says no, we should make it special. We decided on a small private ceremony and a pot luck style get together in November with maybe 60 people. My mother, God love her heart, takes it and runs with it. Next thing you know she has a venue booked that includes plates that were nearly $15 a person not counting the price to rent the place and clean up and decorations. I panicked, because my parents do not make that kinda money and I had already hired my photographer. It almost ruined my dad and I's relationship because he is a super tight wad (just found out he "borrowed" $100 from me without letting me know, another added stress bonus) and he thought that I was being spoiled despite me not wanting any of it... although I WAS thankful. I just knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy it knowing what was having to go into it. Luckily my uncle's wife had just put together a wedding for her son at this cute old dairy barn that her sister owned and my uncle talked to her and she said we could use it for free since we are related through marriage. Yay! I also got rid of my photographer for the reception which made the whole shin dig pretty cheap. The place needed some work still, but it was perfect. She is renovating it to make it a wedding venue and was already booking weddings, so when we talked on the phone I told her I would help her with some photography work. She agreed and all was well, but she did say if we needed help decorating she would have to charge us. I told her it was fine, that we had what we needed and we weren't planning anything elaborate. So, fiance and I were talking the other day and discussed how it wasn't worth the risk waiting until November... I mean the whole back of the reception area is open... Sunday I message the woman and she says we can work it out to have my ceremony and reception the same day. Lucky for me, for whatever reason my fiance got it in his head that we had to go check out the barn with my mom that day. If he hadn't we would be SOL because it was like as soon as my aunt's sister saw my mom her whole demeanor changed. She started bragging about all these weddings and throwing in how organized the brides were and how long they had been planning, which I thought was a jab at me because I am horrible at this and I am not going to obsess over a damn wedding. Then she starts saying how she has to be there, and she has to decorate since she needs to impress my friends... aka for advertisement so they will want to use her. Only the thing is she will have to charge us $500 that we don't have to spend. She completely back-peddled on everything we had talked about and the decorations that we had no choice about were things that were not us at all. I am talking huge chandeliers and "fabulous material from Europe". Now, I am not one to take advantage of people but this was too much to throw on us literally last minute. Had my fiance not insisted we go out there I don't know what we would have done. Now I am having to try to pull it together in my aunt's back yard and between all this and my school being in the ghetto and them basically trying to steal money from me I am having anxiety attacks left and right. Haha okay, I feel better now. Sorry y'all!
PERSONAL RANT OVER.
So, here are my measurements as of right now.
Across my nipples- Almost 34 inches
Under- 30.5
Waist- 29
Yay stress eating! also I am super bloated from Mexican food earlier.
Booty- 38.5
I am determined to flatten my belly by hula hooping. I have also found that the weighted hoop really shapes my sides and gives them a nice dip. I plan to listen to the 15 minute loop of rockmelon while hooping with my 5 lb and then using my "trick" hoop for at least 30 minutes a day. Starting right after I post this ;p
