sweating up a storm

hola. it's been so freaking hot these days. for someone who doesn't usually sleep with the fan on or even the windows too far ajar to be sayin it's hot...man. have been feeling a bit kumse-kumsa these coupla days. it's way too early for it to be periods that's for sure. i weighed myself yesterday and to my surprise discovered that i'm now 70kg. hmmm. i was having one of those fat weeks so it was a bit unexpected that i'd dropped a kilo. i wanted to really hit it after returning from sri lanka with the exercise i have to say that though i have made it a point to get moving there hasn't been much routine to the process. last week was the worst, having worked out only once! so the plan is to take things slow and gradually up the ante. i'd rather work out for 20 min 4 days a week than 11/2 hrs just once. have started food logging since yesterday. am determined to keep it up. of late, seeing as how i will be getting married soon and all, certain comments have made me look at my body, far from the fittest it's been but hardly the (to quote my brother) 'beached whale' it once was, with well i'm ashamed to say disgust. and then i re-read this book 'bet me' by jennifer cruise. it may be a work of fiction but it's got nuggets of truth that'll do so many women so much of good to hear. firstly some things like the natural inclinations of your body are, unless you've got harry potter in your pocket, almost impossible to change. so stop fighting it and embrace what's good about it and dress to celebrate it. mine tends to gravitate towards being soft,round and lush. i don't ever wanna be a skinny bitch, because neither of that's me (ha modesty i tell ya). besides, i enjoy having cleavage to burn. i just wanna be strong and healthy. i AM perfect, just imperfectly so. i'd love myself even if i don't drop an inch. the exercising and healthy eating is NOT so i can fit into a size 10, but rather a commitment to giving the body the nutrition and time it deserves to be the best it can be...because i'm worth it damn it!

the wedding cronicles

i have been a-photo selecting people! they were fabulous. really. i had trouble believing the gorgeous-looking person was me (with only like six inches of make-up of course)...and they hadn't been edited as yet, so i can imagine what the final product is gonna be like. having to pick 50 shots from like 300 is not exactly fun, but i'm sure i won't be complaining in a month, which is how long it'll take till the albums are ready. weee. so excited la! we've also decided to purchase the soft copy so i'll be able to put some up here.

also picked up both imthie's and my attire for the big day. my boobs look majorly impressive, which is always good.though i was a bit apprehensive at first due to how much the kits were gonna cost i have to say that in the end we got what we paid for.i even bought shoes to match.

aren't they pweety? and the heel length is knee- friendly.

will be working till the end of this month, after which i'll be getting packed up for the big move. and hopefully i'll be master chef, like the husband. heh. things are slowly beginning to fall into place and am telling myself to not stress out as yet. there is time for that as yet. like when it's time to learn the waltz. yikes. not looking forward to that one...in another 2 1/2 months i'll be a fully fledged married woman. it just boggles the mind man...
