Just a quick update.
So - I'm all back on track and everything now. I'm still not counting my weightwatchers points, but I'm definitely not over-eating by any stretch of the imagination. 3 good meals a day, and one snack in the evening. I've also been trying to go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week - but I'm struggling with that one. University starts back up in 3 weeks, so my pre-reading has started. I've also (and this may seem strange) started research for my essays. I have so much going on next semester - extra modules, volunteering, work, etc. I'm just trying to get a head start. So I've been a busy bee. Wedding planning all day Monday, on campus harrassing the librarian yesterday and this evening I have to be at Dream Scheme. The way dream scheme works is that the 'troubled youth' of Scunthorpe, do projects/help the local area, and earn points. The more points they earn, the more things they can do. So like, last month - everyone that had over 100 points got to go to a theme park for the day. It's a way of getting all the teens off the street corners and doing something. And I'm pretty much their glorified babysitter. But it's fun - and though some of them are quite intimidating, I tend to have a laugh. (And I get to go on trips for FREE, disguised as a youth worker - mwahaha)
So yes. I've got a busy schedule at the moment. It also doesn't help that the family is pushing for Gianni and I to set a date for the wedding. I'm like "Jeez, Louise - what's the rush?" -- So, even though I've told my Mum there ain't no way in hell I'm walking up the aisle until I've graduated - She's been dragging me around venues and dress shops. Monday I went to 15 venues. FIFTEEN. I didn't even know we had that many places in this small town. I mean, what?? And how am I supposed to know whether I want round tables? Or a horse-shoe set-up? The only redeeming factor about Monday, is that I tried a size 10 (American 6/8??) wedding dress on and it fit. That put a smile on my face ;)
Things to see - People to do. I hope you're all okay.
I want you to know that I'm jealous of your 10, but I'm really proud of you for how well you're doing even though your life is super busy. We're in September now! Woot!
