So here's my first post

This is just a little place where I can log the various bits and bobbles of getting prepared for my wedding.

The date? Tentatively set for October 10, 2010. Yes, that's 10/10/10, I'm that cheesy, live with it.

The place? Really don't know right now. I'm thinking NOLA, but I have no idea if we'll actually end up living in Louisiana, making that location feasible. But for now, that's what I'm putting in my brain.

The biggest thing? Me and my fat ass. Obviously I don't want to be a fat bride, even though I've spent the better part of the last 4 or so years as a blob. Current weight 193 lbs, waiting for the holidays to die down.

The distant proposed date gives me both time with money, planning, and the weight. I will be losing weight per my other blog, via fasting. It works great, even better when I'm alone (fiance is gone, moved ahead of me to secure work and living). I've lost and maintained a 10 lb loss fasting, I've lost more, but my body didn't reach its set point nor have the time needed to regulate itself there. As it is, my body easily maintains the 193 whether I feel I've pigged out or not. Set point reached. It's just a matter of time to reach my lower set points, and so on and so forth.

Even if I reach my weight goals through "traditional" means of diet and exercise, I still have 10 months to go, at a healthy rate of 10 lbs a month and I could lose the 60 lbs or so I'd like to lose well within my timeline.

Who's eyes is this blog for? No ones, really, it's just my personal journal, and blogger is an easy medium for me. I suppose I could open a Word doc and keep this all to myself, but meh, who cares.
