healthy train | week 15.

01.23.09

 

OOOOOKAY, I OFFICIALLY lost all of the weight I gained in Mexico… which puts me back at 12 pounds total lost. A small victory! 

I have to tell you though when I see these numbers I get SO bummed… 12 pounds since October 4th… 12 pounds in FIFTEEN weeks… that's about .8 lbs a week.  That just doesn't seem like a lot when I'm putting 200% of myself towards this healthy train, but whatever.

And like I always do at the end of the month, I took my measurements.  Since December 19th, I've lost only .6 lbs. AYKM!? Sounds awful… UNTIL  you see that I've lost 2.25" since then.  SO yeah… Lost only half a pound… but lost 2.25 inches… WOW to THAT!  Oh, and when you factor in Christmas in Kansas City annnnd Mexico…. I guess it's not THAT bad:D

 

Since my last measurements on December 19th:

Weight: -0.6lbs

Arms: -.25"

Chest: -1"

Waist: -0"

Hips: -0.5"

Thighs: -0.5"

TOTAL: -2.25"

 

Since week one (October 4) of the Healthy Train:

Weight: -12lbs

Arms: -1.75"

Chest: -2"

Waist: -3"

Hips: -2"

Thighs: -3.5"

TOTAL: -12.25"

 

Since January 5, 2008:

Weight: -18lbs

Arms: -2.75"

Chest: -2"

Waist: -3.5"

Hips: -3"

Thighs: -4.5" (that number shocks me!)

TOTAL: -15.75"

 

I REALLY encourage all of you to take your measurements… I have mine put onto an Excel data sheet so that I never lose it.:)When you don't see the pounds dropping off, at least you'll see results SOMEWHERE! I'm convinced that it's more about your measurements than the pounds… ESPECIALLY if you're working out!

 

 

YOUR TURN!

So… Like always, we need a photo:)

Yesterday, we dyed my hair a new, darker, richer color of copper… so I guess I'll show you all:D  Please don't hate on the quality… it was taken with my little web cam on my laptop:)

 

I'm not 100% decided if I like it better than the old more vibrant lighter color… but whatever, it's still pretty:D 

By the way, notice my teeth? They're getting better!  The Invisaligsn are worrrrking!

Okay, enough from me… how'd you guys do?! Can't wait to hear!

LOVE!

~bobbi:!:

PS. Did cardio three this week… And I did strength training twice and pilates once. I promised I'd tell you… so there you go.:)

:)(Sometimes I'm such a graphic designer when I shoot!)

 

 

The BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL bride!!!!!!! Her sister did her makeup that day, and did an AWESOME job!  I just thought it was SO NEAT that the big sister was doing the little sisters makeup… I'm guessing as kids they did this a MILLLLION times…. Okay, I'm not explaining myself well, but you probably understand what I mean…:)

 

 
 

 

 Meanwhile… back at Peters place… he was reading this beautiful letter from Robin:)

 

 A prayer by the best man before lunch. 

 

 

 

 He looks so proud.  Doesn't he?!

 

 Robin, of course….. one of the smilingist brides in the history of the world!!!!!:D(Tied with Andrea)

 

 

 LOVE THE BLUUUUUES!!!!!!!!

 

:)Right before the walk down the aisle.

 

;)

 

 

 

 I'm SURE that you guys all remember from their engagement session that these two have never kissed… as they were saving it for THAT very moment of "you may kiss the bride." So, as the pastor said those famous words, Peter turned to his best man and got a little refresher spray… the room erupted in laughter…

 

 Two seconds later…

THE KISSSSSS!!!!!!!!! THE KISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite:!:

 

 

A private moment before they got into the limo:)Of course… kissing:DYEAH YEAH YEAH!

 

 I love how the light hits her smile.

 

 

:D

 

I turned to Robin and Peter, "do you like horses?" they said, "sure!" I responded, "OH WAIT of COURSE you like horses, you were the queen of the FFA!" So down we went.  As they were standing there, the horse began to eat her flowers…. so, she switched them to her other hand;)

 

 

 Their cake was YUMM-O Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 Her sisters speech (that's shot through the shoulders of Robin and Peter, just in case you couldn't tell;)) Another little funny moment was when one of the catering staff brought her a glass of champagne… she exclaimed with a smile (as she's clearly quite pregnant), "Thanks, but I don't know what I'm going to do with this!" as she pointed at her belly.:DIt was cute. And of course, her speech was nothing short of perfect.:D

 

 Robin's dad videotaped his speech.  This was the reaction (and that's Robin's sister on the left):)

 

Their first dance:DSALSA!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 One of Robin's few requests… a sweet black and white intimate photo of them slow dancing.  CHECK AND MARK!

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Robin and Peter, I'm going to say, before I start writing about your day…. we canNOT thank you enough for including us in such an awesome day.  You're two compassionate, heartfelt and amazing people and just knowing you is such an amazing thing.  It truly was an honor to witness your love.

Their ceremony was incredible.  INCREDIBLE!  It was, in our opinion, the best part of the day.  Robin and Peter were so in to the moment… just the way they looked at each other was so powerful. 

As I mentioned before…Peter and Robin had not kissed until the day of their wedding.  Up until then, they had only imagined what it would be like… :D  I asked if they had known anyone else who had waited… Robin told me that a few of their guests had and one of them told her this, "it's great because now every time we kiss, we always think of our wedding day." Isn't that sweet?:)So anyway… I'll go ahead and say it… it was THE BEST first kiss we've ever seen. (you guys know that I don't like making superlative statements like that, but COME ON… their first ever kiss!).  It was sweet, passionate, intensely emotional, full of love, and well… just the best kiss ever.:DI'll never ever ever forget that moment… as I know that every person sitting in the church won't either.

Robin grinned from ear to ear just about the whole day. OK…the whole day, except to wipe away an occasional tear.  She wasn't even 1% nervous… just OH SO happy…. happy to begin her life with Peter….:DPeter was JUST as excited, but more in a calm, cool, sublime way.  Just being around Peter makes you feel like everything is perfect in the world :D  His voice is just so soothing.  His demeanor is just so calming. I could go on and on….  if you know Peter, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about.  

Robin and Peter how much more AWESOME could you possible be!? Thank you thank you THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

LOOOOOOOVE!

I SO love the Savvy Salon in Broad Ripple:DIf you're going to go to a salon to get your hair done, this is the place to go:DThey do some of the most unique updos I've ever seen.  And my favorite thing about that salon? THE LIGHT!:DPS. Mikey gets his hair done there.

 

 He was READY for that kiss!
