Did yoga yesterday and had to stop because I had a horrible Charlie horse in my belly. My belly was tender the rest of the day. Today I'm working on putting steps on my pedometer. Still sick so it won't be what I'm used to but I'm thankful it's something I can do.

hi! heather, that's so strange about the pain in your stomach! hope you're feeling better.

shannon, sounds like you're doing so well!! how is everything in vietnam? when are you coming home? that is SO fun that your friend is visiting ... i bet thailand will be amazing. and you're doing SO SO SO well on your workouts! i bet you look like a cover model!
wedding plans are ... well, they're going. my mom is SO involved ... i think she thinks it is her own wedding. she cries every time my opinion differs from hers, LOL. not sure if i told you, but we're getting married at the del coronado out in san diego this december. and then we're having a celebration/reception back in chicago in jan or feb for the rest of our family & friends. so far, we've finished the save-the-dates. that's about it, LOL. i'm afraid to go try on dresses b/c i hate my body & weight right now. :(

Carrie, so great to hear everything is progressing. Must be frustrating with your mom -- i hear planning a wedding is so stressful! Guess what?!?!? One of my best friend's from high school is getting married at the Del Coronado this summer, on July 28th (to be exact!!). I'm in the wedding and it looks to be spectaular! It's one of FOUR weddings I'm in this summer....should be fun!! My friend only invited 50 people to the wedding and I think they are getting married on the beach and obviously, having the reception there. She even gave all guests a dress code of only cream, khaki and white. Probably to go along with the beachy feeling. Have you ever been there?? I think I remember reading how you went to San Diego and ran outside a while back. Anyways, the hotel is gorgeous and the beach, outstanding! Did you know they filmed a lot of the show 90210 there? Fun Fact!!

Vietnam is good. Kind of lonely and isolating but I'm so excited my friend is coming here tonight!!!! After she leaves, I'll only have 5 weeks left and for one of those weeks, I'll be on the Thai Island of Phuket sunning on the beach!! I'll be in Chicago for my layover on May 12th! I think it's only a 2hr layover, though.

I've been working out a ton b/c well, there's not much else to do and I have 4 weddings this summer and I'll be so mad if I look pudgy in them!! ha ha!

As a side note, I do not belive you are looking good now!! you always look great!!

Great to have you back and posting!
