Life After I "Dew"

I finally got a new car!!! That's right, I finally put the Beetle to rest. It was her time. I had her for 8 years and she was 10 years old. Girl did me good while I had her but she was on her last leg w/the cancer and all. I am so glad to have the Mazda3! It's so cute and fun to drive! I am still getting used to the idea of driving a 4 door and the fact that I don't stick out like a sore thumb in my bright yellow VW! It was a tiring 6 hours at the car lot but I am very happy with my decision, here's a pic of the new girl.

Well after going up and down up and down I am finally on a downward spiral! I thought for sure, after veering off the South Beach path for Valentine's Day with crepes and chocolate fondue, I would gain but I managed to lose 3lbs this week!!! I was so excited! That's the most I've lost in a single week since I started SB. So now I am down 7.5lbs total! I have my B pics on March 14th and I am hoping I can lose another 13.5lbs by then, we'll see. Nothing like being half naked in pics to get you motivated! Here's a pic of my progress thus far.
week 1


this week, week 10

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

That's right...my ring is missing :-( The last couple of days I have been able to hear the diamond rattling in the setting and I showed Future Mr Monday night and he INSISTED I take it in yesterday. So my hand is going to be naked for the next 2.5 weeks...stupid Valentine's Day has their orders backed up. I hope it comes back sooner though, I hate being without it. They should give you a loaner...

Yesterday was finally nice here in C-bus! It was a warm 46 and we thought it was spring! We didn't really do a whole lot, went to the movies went to the ILs and then a little shopping and some mexican for dinner and we were back in time for the Grammy's Red Carpet. It was just really nice to get out of the house and open the windows. I just got a text from Future Mr and he said "By the way yesterday was one of my favorites ever. I felt like we were best friends more than ever, cause you are mine and I love it." Seriously could he get ANY cuter?

So we met with our travel agent, Laura from Bliss Honeymoons and Destination Weddings (www.blisshoneymoons.com) last night and are ready to leave NOW! Laura was amazing and truly knows what she is doing when it comes to planning the perfect honeymoon. We told her what we were looking for and wanted to do while we were gone and we have the perfect place picked! We will be staying a week in Riviera Maya, Mexico! The resort is El Dorado Spa Resorts & Hotel (http://www.eldoradosparesorts.com/index.php) and if it is half as beautiful as it looks in the pics I will be one happy bride! We are planning to go snorkeling, scuba diving, dolphin swimming, and zip lining while we are there, other than that sitting beach side with a fruity drink sounds pretty darn good to me! I can't wait to gain 10 lbs trying all the food at the 7 different restaurants, get a couples massage on the beach, and just RELAX!!!!!! We might not want to come back...

Well we are finally melting out of our snow hell! I am so sick of snow, if I never saw it again it would still be too soon! This weekend is supposed to get up into the 40s and 50s so it's gonna be a heat wave! Watch out I might even get my bathing suit out and layout on the deck! LOL!

So yeah needless to say my South Beach diet has gone out the window since I can only eat soft foods, including mashed potatoes, pasta, applesauce, and soup. I started working out again last night though but only walking till I go for my check-up next Wednesday.
Tonight we are going to meet with the travel agent to discuss honeymoons! I'm so excited to do this especially since it's still bitterly cold here, I'm thinking sun, sand, and umbrella drinks!
