So much has been accomplished this weekend in wedding-planning land!
I did my first "bridesmaid proposal" this morning at brunch.
That's Nikki, Bill's cousin. I know she is a wine connoisseur, so I custom-made a wine bottle label asking her to be my bridesmaid. It must have worked, because she said yes!
One down, three to go. Our wedding party will only have 3 on each side, but I also made something to propose to my personal attendant.
Bill isn't doing "groomsmen proposals." Because that's just kinda weird. But he did do something pretty cute today: He had his nephew, Nicholas, ask his brother, Rob, to be his best man. Although now that I think about it, I'm not actually sure he said yes. I'm just going to assume that it's a yes. Rob?
We have also filled in a few of the other wedding positions, in the form of an usher (Nikki's husband, Scott) and a reader (Rob's wife, Laura). Don't worry, Flynn family, your time is coming.
The diet was good today. We actually went to a brunch buffet, which seems like it could be disastrous. We went because it was at Keller, where our reception is, and we wanted to try the food (which was really good, at least for what I could reasonably eat while dieting). I had fruit salad, green salad, and a mushroom omelette. And as long as you ignore the copious amounts of whipped cream I put on my fruit, it was actually really healthy.
For dinner we went to Culver's (ps - the Woodbury Culver's opens tomorrow!) and I had the chicken cashew salad and a single scoop of custard. Because ice cream.
Exercise wasn't super great today, but I just never even had time! Between church, brunch, grocery shopping, losing an hour due to DST, and dinner with Bill's family, I'm lucky I got in the 7,000 steps I did! But it's okay, I've been pretty good on the diet. Plus I'm out of peanut butter (my other weakness besides ice cream) so every day will be automatically healthier because I can't eat peanut butter at the end of the night.
Back to the grind tomorrow. I have inventory at work, which is probably the most stressful time of the year for me. Luckily I feel like I really have a sense of control over the whole wedding situation, so it won't be "stacked stress" and I can avoid all that stress eating.
Until tomorrow, readers.
