Check out EXTREME PETE!

This is the coolest dog I've ever seen!



Hmm... so what else is new? Um I have been diligently walk/running on my treadmill most days, if i dont do that, I walk my dogs, do the NYC ballet workout, or go to pump class.

Have still only lost 1 kg, but I remember this happening last time I went on a health kick, So I'm not really worried. I'll just keep doing it because it's good for me! :)

Have been trying to eat well... but... yesterday Ben brought Maccas home for lunch, and i ate it - of course (ZERO willpower), but then I ran on the treadmill. It was HARD yesterday for some reason. I still did 30 minutes of walking with s lots of 2 minute runs, bt they nearly killed me yesterday! then we had a healthy dinner: And I ate half a packet of chips. Not a small packet either. Dammit. Trouble is, Ben loves his junk food and I dont wanna deprive him, but I just have NO willpower round any of that stuff. I'm like an alcoholic in a bar.

Any suggestions anyone?

Maybe if I find a low fat alternative I can whip out if he's eating stuff like that, so i dont feel like I'm being left out...?

So today I'm detoxing. I've had fruit for breakfast, fruit and vegetable juices all day, and green/herbal tea. I've made sushi for dinner, and I bought a punnet of strawberries for dessert.

I've walked to dogs this morning, and I plan to do the NYC workout this afternoon. So I'm doin' ok. Nothing to show for it, but it feels good to be doing good things for my body.

So I've been researching wedding colour schemes, and at first I wanted either pink/chocolate brown, or turquoise/chocolate brown...


So I asked Ben what colours he liked, and of course he said: Red and Gold.
Eek.
Okay... So I did some web-surfing and I think I may have found a compromise...
A cherry blossom theme - Mostly pale pink, brown and white, but with red and gold accents.
This would be good because I have a fascination with all things Japanese, and Ben does too. I LOVE cherry blossoms, and I hate the thought of a big frou-frou bouquet, but would not be opposed to carrying a sprig of cherry blossom. We're thinking April wedding (2009), which is also the right time of year.
I was watching Memoirs of a Geisha the other day end even though I LOVED the book, but was disappointed with the film, there are a few scenes where you can see the colours I mean...


Here's a cherry blossom themed wedding, but I think I'd want it paler, and softer pink than this.

More like this...
What do you think?
