A real update!

I know I haven't been posting much lately, things are truly crazy here. I will try to sum it up as best I can:

* I am 3 weeks away from turning over the Hospital to the Owners. Things are really coming together here, but there is just so much to be done. The health, building and fire inspectors will walk through the building starting next week so keep your fingers crossed!

* My manager hasn't made any attempt to get me extra help during this crazy time. I have made it clear I could use it but it doesn't seem to do anything. Also I have no place to go after this project is turned over. It's a bit scary with the wedding right around the corner. I know there is an open job in St. Cloud...that would be an hour commute to work though.

* The wedding is less then 4 months away. I sent out Save The Dates a few weeks ago and the responses just about made me pee my pants. I can't wait to hear back after the real invites go out! That is if they ever get printed! I designed them, bought the paper, made everything simple and my girlfriend wanted to print them. She keeps putting it off. I finally had to email her and give her an absolute deadline.

Small details are slowly coming together. We picked out the tuxedos, and ordered all the girls dresses. My dress should be here next week! I cannot wait to see it. I'm having an awful time deciding on what I want for flowers and food though. What I really want is to serve Belgium waffles and set the table with all the yummy toppings. I am meeting with the chef in 2 weeks and I haven't given up on this yet!! Flowers are the worst. I had everything picked out and then the rental company called and said "there has been a mix up" ... figures!! Luckily work has been so busy I haven't given much thought to how upset this makes me!

* Training is going alright. I have a really good week and then I will have a week that I barely get 15 miles in. I'm trying to get out as much as possible though and we are moving the treadmill upstairs so that as it cools off I have another choice.

*Eating. I know this is going to sound horrible but I have totally stopped tracking. I am not over doing it and I am still getting in a ton of the good stuff I just needed to let myself trust that I can make good decisions. And with that I haven't stepped on the scale either. I won't say that I am not going to try to loose a little bit more weight, but for now there is too much else going on to worry about measuring out every last thing. Also, I feel great. My jeans are fitting loose, I'm not starving all the time and that is a great feeling.

Last but not least, I am checking in with everyone daily. If I'm not posting it's not because I'm not around, I just don't have words right now!!!
