Day 9 started out great. I weighed myself as I mentioned yesterday and lost more weight, so I'm down a total of 15 pounds. I had to make enough servings of orange juice to last me through the afternoon. Earlier this evening I had my first bowl of vegetable soup. About 3 hours later, I felt unfulfilled, so I had another bowl. No hunger, I feel great.
Tomorrow is the last day and I'm so glad. I get to have a salad, legitimately. I'm so looking forward to it. I'm going to try to hit the gym but I have so much to do since we're leaving Saturday so we'll see how it works out.
In wedding news, my DOC got the huge box Mike sent her with all of our ceremony and reception stuff as well as our parents and bridal party gifts. Just waiting on the programs to arrive and she'll have everything. We met with one of guests tonight who's purchasing our alcohol off a military base to go over everything so he knows what to get. I just hope we have enough. I would hate for the alcohol to run out before the party's over.
So basically, we're all set. On my to do list tomorrow is:
Pedicure and Manicure
Hair
Getting my e-ring dipped and cleaned
Picking up our fathers' and Mikes' suits
Packing
That's it. I sort of finalized our seating chart, although there are still some questionable folks in there that we're not certain about. Luckily, I refused to count them in the 1st numbers we gave to the caterer. Just in case they decide to come, I can add on but I can't take off.
8 more days as Ms.....

My menus
Well, wadda ya know? My menus are too dark just as I suspected. After I ordered them. Ugh. But I have a solution. Since the menus are a little too big to sit nicely in the napkins, I'm going to find a Kinkos' in Florida to cut them down. I'm cutting the dark part that can't be read anyway which happens to list the cake flavors. No biggie. Everyone should know by looking at the cake in the corner what's for dessert. Problem solved as far as I'm concerned.
Other than that, my DOC received the first shipment we sent today of wedding supplies. Actually, we sent her all the bridesmaid and groomsmen gifts. She should receive the large wedding day supply box on Thursday. That has everything from the aisle runner to the cocktail hour centerpieces in it.
We finally got a hold of our photographer today and went over a rough draft of the timeline for the day of. I also got in touch with my florist to clarify some things in my contract after some concerns were raised by another bride who was not thrilled with her bouquets.
All in all I think everything is coming together and to an end....

Day 5...the cleanse
Day 5- Pretty good. Took the laxative tea Saturday night and the SWF Sunday morning. Normal stuff. Mike and I went out about 2 pm and I didn't think to bring my lemonade with me. Needless to say, by 5pm I was starving. So I opted to have a salad. Yummy and healthy. The funny thing is I weighed myself this morning and I am +2 lbs. How the hell that happen? I only ate a salad and a few Doritos (heehee) on Saturday. So total weight loss to date is 9 lbs. Still cool with me. Had my laxative tea Sunday night to get me ready for day 6.
In wedding news, we got our seating chart done and packed up all the stuff we need shipped to Florida. We're just waiting to hear back from my DOC as to when someone will be home to collect our things when they arrive. I started ironing on the transfers I made and they came out wonderful! I can't wait to wear my Mrs. undies ;-) I think we're pretty much done with things in NJ, just need to focus on packing now so I don't forget anything. Today I also mailed my thank you notes from my bridal shower. Glad to get that out of the way early. :)

Day 2...Master Cleanse
Day 2 is going well. Started out this morning just making the lemonade because I didn't have time for the SWF. As of right now I'm not hungry. I worked out today and felt great. Energy level is through the roof. Bonus is I weighed myself this morning and I was down 4 lbs! I don't know if my scale is lying to me, but I'd like to believe it's not. We'll see when I weigh myself in the morning before I head to the gym.
After working out, I headed to my parents house to freshen up and take a quick nap before heading to work. When I woke up, the aroma of Salisbury steaks was coming from the kitchen. My mother had to cook when I'm there and on this cleanse. Damn that food smelled good! I hightailed it outta there before my mind told me I was hungry. That's what it is, a psychological thing, I believe when it comes to hunger. Anyhow, I got to work and had some lemonade.
Tonight when I get home I plan to take the laxative tea and then the SWF in the morning.
All in all, so far so good.
In wedding news, we paid most of our catering bill, paid off the florist, the cake lady, the photographer and the DJ. The only thing left is the videographer and the DOC. Feels good to get this stuff done but I hate to see the bank account dwindling down. 15 days to be a Mrs.!

Updates....
2 months and 9 days to go! Whoo hoo!
Time is flying. Well, the bridal salon called me today to schedule my first fitting. Yay! I go in Jan. 5. This means that I need to have all my stuff together (veil, shoes, jewelry, etc.) to try on everything at once. I'm worried my jewelry may not work, but I'll see soon enough.
Right now, I'm working on finding a stylist for the bridal party. Worse case scenario, I'll pay my beautician, who's a guest, to do their hair. She's doing my hair as a gift and even if I had to pay her I would; she's been doing my hair since I was 14 years old! My DOC is working on getting me prices now so I'll know something by early next week.
Lastly, I think our rehearsal dinner location is going to change. As bad as I want to have it at Bahama Breeze, they don't have seating to have us all at the same table. Basically, we would be seated in the same vicinity, but at different tables. Not cool. And to get a private area, is at least $1000 that we're not willing to spend. So, my DOC mentioned a few places: Houlihans is one. More pricier menu but totally private. The other option is Bucca di Peppa. Italian restaurant in the Florida Mall that serves food family style. Cheaper option and semi-private. I'm going to call them tomorrow to get more details and then decide something so we can reserve a place asap.
Oh, one more thing. My girl Robyn took some fab B-pics recently. I am so interested in doing this but because I'm in NJ and my photographer is in FL, I'm limited to only being able to do them the week before my wedding. I actually emailed her about doing a Feb session because there are other girls who are interested as well. I hope she has some availability before my wedding date. I'm waiting to hear from her so we can do this!
That's it for now. Stay tuned....
