I had my first no carb day yesterday. It actually wasn't so bad. I was kinda hungry though. But i weighed in this morning....down another 1.5 pounds. So total to date with Tony....7.5 pounds! My weight is down to 122.5. I sooo cannot wait to get back into the teens again! Im very excited.
The only thing that sucked was that because of the snow, i was unable to get to the gym this morning. But it was only abs and cardio. I did my abs at home. I missed cardio.(don't tell on me...lol) !!

I'm not sure if it was known or not, but me and adam aren't married. We have been together for 5 years and we live together. Well after the whole hospital and surgery incident, i sat down with him and explained to him that we really should be married. It really bothered me when we were at the hospital and i was labeled "friend" on the forms. I should be "wife". Im going to be 35 years old and he is 36. There is no reason that we shouldn't just do it. So we were discussing it and trying to figure out a way to do it. I had suggested just going away...Bahamas or something, but he wants his daughter there and he doesn't want to put her on a plane, so we would have to do it here. Just small, cause we have no money. I know my parents would pay for the majority of it and then we could do the rest.
I know its not really romantic, because he didn't ask me to "marry him" on his knee, so we didn't get "engaged" formally, but we are going to go and pick out rings and just plan something small. So, he told me to run it by my parents and see how they felt about us doing it this way....and my mom was just so happy that we were finally doing it, that she doesn't care how we do it.
So, the thing is, i want to be happy about it, but i don't want to get my hopes all up and then him change his mind. He told me to find a place, and do everything with my mom and my sister and
try to involve him as little as possible. The reason is that he is kinda "anti-marriage" and he is only doing this for me. He is totally fine with living together for the rest of our lives. And to be honest, part of me feels the same way. Like the saying goes "if it ain't broke, dont fix it" but the whole hospital thing freaked me out and i felt like god forbid, if something more serious was wrong, i have absolutely no say in his care. And the same goes for me on his end. We should be married, it is the way i was raised and it is the right thing to do.

So, now i have to plan a wedding! Im kinda freaked out. We are looking into getting married in February (our 6 year anniversary falls on a friday next year), plus its cheaper on a friday and especially because it's february! I guess the first thing is to find a place, then a dress...and all the other crap that goes with it.
Im sooo not a girl that way....some girls plan and think about their wedding from when they are little girls...honestly, i never think about it, and i still can't comprehend that we are actually going to do it!
My mom wants to tell people but i told her to wait until i get a ring. I dont want to look stupid.

Congrats on your "engagement" that's awesome! I wish I lived closer I would help you plan. I am one of those girls who dreamed about my wedding:) My sister sounds like you, so guess what? I planned her whole wedding and it was so much fun!
122.5 that's awesome! No carbs is easier than it sounds. I am down a lb. this morning.
Congrats on the weight loss and psuedo-engagement. :o) BTW, you look so much younger than me...I'm 34. I thought you were 20-something??
Y'all go on and be happy about no carb. I'm NOT. :o)
Ha ha! Beka! I don't think Angela or myself are allowed to eat that many carbs anyway. I eat oatmeal, broccoli, asparugus, salad, and celery for carbs. That is why it's easier! I only miss the oatmeal:)
CONGRATS Angela. Yes your situation does sound unusual though. Most people who plan to be together for life, do get married, to make it more permanent, so your situation is probably not that common, but I really hope it works out for you.
You might actually find, that being married entitles you to married persons allowances, or other financial benefits, don't ask me what though, it's not really my area of understanding.
Not being so crass as to say you'd be doing it for that reason, I know the main reasons you're doing it is for love and happiness, and to use a phrase consumate the relationship.
Whatever happens, you will always have my 100% support and encouragement, no matter what you do in life, because the whole point of my giving support to people, is to do just that, and never to put the person down in any way, for anything they do.
I really hope everything works out for you, and Adam is going to be marrying a beautiful, warmhearted, pretty special person, and you and he deserve each other for eternity, so GOOD LUCK to you, and know I think you are doing a wonderful thing, I'm really, really hasppy for you, and I'm proud of the fact you and he are strong, and have lasted, because in this current world, some people never get past 2 years.
He might not feel it now, but I'm sure on the day, he'll be proud to be standing by you, and saying the vows with his bride to be.
You guys are definitely a fantastic couple :-) :-).
Have an awesome day Angela, and congrats also about the weight. It takes a lot of effort, dedication and hard work, to make other peoples tuition and instruction work for you. They can't make you give 100%, and you give 100% it's clear, and deserve to look and feel amazing.
WELL DONE with everything, and lots of luck and best wishes for the future.
You deserve the best in life, and I'll always be proud to be someone, who is in your corner, wishing you well like everyone else here does :-) :-).
Matt
Congrats on the engagement and the 122.5!!!!
First congrats on the weight loss, that's awesome! Second, of course, congrats on the engagement, such as it is, I was never going to get married or have kids and here I am. I can completely relate to the what to do now - after my husband proposed I freaked and went to the bookstore, sat on the floor in the wedding section and read all the books on what I was supposed to do - I, too, had not planned my wedding day using Barbie and Ken as stand-ins, I had not a clue, but it all turned out great - as will yours. Also, FYI - I think similiar reasons to yours is how Sandra Bullock and Jessie James got married, so it's not just you.
