The wedding is over

My son's wedding was on Friday evening. I did well, for the most part, but I am glad it is over. I chose a doable restaurant for the rehearsal dinner (Santa Fe). Dr Keller told me to take some time off and enjoy the festivities, but I have already found that I look at food and eating a different way. the food at the wedding was also not too bad. I did allow myself one glass of wine, but found it too sweet -- one of the sweetest things I have had in several weeks! About the only trouble I had was getting all my liquids in. I was so busy and stressed I kept forgetting to drink. Most of the family has left and I go back to work tomorrow so I will be getting back on track with that too. Nancy

Congrats on the new daughter-in-law, Nancy!!! :) I'm excited you have the wedding behind you and you can now focus more on you again! You have  an amazing day coming up in just a few short weeks!!! You will do smashingly, I'm sure!  Hugs!!! Liz

Did you cry off all your liquids??? Man I did at my sons wedding and every other event I attend....shoot I cry at comercials. I am an emotional woman!!  Ok Congrats!! It's over. That is so hard, but now it is like wheeeeeeeeeeeeew!!! You are almost to your new beginning! The next time all that family sees you, they won't know who you are!! What really is back on track?? I am always derailing! I get back on only to derail once again....My blood sugars just keep me nuts! Up down Up Down. I am so happy for you to have gotten through all the festivities so smoothly!  It sounds like you are ready to tackle this! Hang on...your day is coming!!   Sherry

I actually did pretty well until my dad started crying. I lost my mom almost 8 years ago and Friday would also have been my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. It made the day extra special, but also a sad one. I forgot one more thing -- my dad has trouble walking so I was helping him with pretzels and strawberries from the chocolate fountain. My husband saw me and told me he was going to go online and tell all my online friends. LOL I had the strawberries -- without the chocolate! Nancy

You will have to remember all your tricks for survival for when my son gets married!  Sounds like you did really well. Congrats on the new family member! You day will be here before you know it!  You will love your tiny tummy! Denise

Congratulations on the marriage of your son. I bet it was beautiful! I wish them many years of happiness.

You'll be having your surgery day soon and then food becomes so much less of an issue ... you're gonna love it! ; )

Congratulations on this most exciting yet hectic time in your life.  Now you can get back in to your "regular" routine!  It sounds like you did incredibly well in your food selections so a hearty congrats on that too!  You are one tough woman!  (would've said tough cookie but that's food porn!) You day will be here before you know it and then all that food won't even bother you.  Doesn't bother me right now and I'm praying that it continues for a LONG time! Congratulations to your entire family in expanding by one!

Congrats Nancy.  I know it was a wonderful/hectic time and I'm glad its all behind you.  Now is the time to get back on track (although it doesn't seem like you ever really fell "off track").  Good luck & keep drinking those liquids!!  Wendy
