South Carolina, Wedding and bad decisions

Samma and Curtis

 I apologize in advanced for how long and weird this blog is going to be. It's a culmination of what's all been going on in my crazy life within the past week and a half. 


We (Curtis, Christina, and Sam and I) left after work on Friday March 16 to drive to Myrtle Beach. I for some reason drove 12a-7a which enabled me to be an absolute bitch for the following day. If I'm too excited about something I will not sleep, I've tried to chill out, yoga, meditation. Shit's hard for me. But anyway a few personality drinks remedied that situation. Finally when we were able to check into our resort. I have never seen soooooooo much on a bell cart before. Having worked in the hospitality industry, this photo on the right is very impressive! Great job Curtis.  Fortuately he loves packing so much. Well I don't know if he loves it, but he is better than I. I just do not have the patience to pack things and fold them and make sure things fit in a certain way. It doesn't appeal to me in the slightest and frustrates me to no end.

Tuesday I endured the mother of all sunburns, which was less than fun. I couldn't even shave my legs until Friday (lol, sorry Curtis). I tried getting into the hot tub and it wasn't happening for me. I felt as if I were being dipped in acid - it was so painful. My cohorts on the vacation tolerated my incessant whining and diva like attitude all week (thanks guys).

On Wednesday we went out to the outlet mall that was right next to our resort.  And am proud to say with much accomplishment that I walked out of BCBGmaxaria and only spent a little over 100 dollars!!! I also found 2 dresses that I loved and I am NOT sorry for buying both of them :D

My sunburn was awful! just this limited amount of time in the water was agonizing.

 Christina and I had everything set up waiting for the Bridal Party to come and get pretty before the wedding. This venue was gorgeous! Jess looked awesome. I did in fact complete my mission of getting absolutely wedding drunk. I didn't sit in the hot tub like I wanted because it was closed by then. But I did manage to find a steak n shake where in the drive through Curtis put my bra on and posed for several photos.  

 I love this TREE!!!!!!!! It is a month ahead of schedule for blooming. And I missed it!! I watch this tree bloom every year, but this year I was unable to. When we move in a couple of years this will be the only this I will truly miss about this house. 

Now that I've been on vacation I've had such a sense of guilt for the TERRIBLE eating choices I have made all week (most of which happened after I took an ambien and engaged in various other sorts of terrible decision making :(..) I weighed myself when I came home and I have gained a total of 9 lbs!!! Who is talented enough in this world to gain 9lbs in just a week?!?!?! I knew I was going to gain something, maybe like 4 or 5 at the most. But 9?!?! Seriously!? I stayed active, I monitored my alcohol to just liquor basically. The wedding day I knew I was going to blow it. They had pasta, which was amazing! I know this because I tried everything. And also I had like 3 bottles of red wine during the reception. I justified it as me working my ass off to get the bridal party ready before the wedding. And I was dead set on getting so completely shit faced during this reception. MISSION accomplished!! My earlier behavior led me to a Steak and Shake Drive thru at the end of the night, and taking that back to the resort and totally David Hasselholf-ing it, don't get me wrong... I'm not an animal, there were plates and napkins involved.  But that was just on Friday, that didn't count the 4 brownies, and 60 double triple oreos I consumed late night tuesday and wednesday. SMH!! So now I'm terrified to weigh in, because I feel like I've let my team down. All of my plans to stay clean-ish during this whole vacation - I basically just shit on. GAHHHHHHHH!!!! So now, I'm in the process of losing the water weight and other weight I've gained and it SUCKS. No leniency what so ever, clean low carb eating for me. Curtis said that he can't tell that I've gained but, he also knows how to lie to my face when it comes to me being neurotic about my body and eating. I didn't even have to ask him, because I don't need for him to reassure what I already know. This girl needs to put in some SERIOUS work this week.
