Lisa it took about 3-4 weeks for the suit to arrive after placing the order. The shirt was from Macys but it was at the end of the summer so they are all gone now and its not linen... I am going to post pics in a few...

APOLA,

I have been following the Gran Caribe thread as well and am also super nervous about having a bad experience. Ive even emailed my WC and asked if I can request not to have certain on site cordinators..I dont want to have someone that sucks and is not nice! Especially if were goinna spend so much money! Ugh! I will let you know how it goes since Ill be going first! Sounds like Flora is the one who is getting bad reviews... Yikes! Anyway we are getting the free wedding package since were staying in the Presidential suite then just adding some extras like cake and private reception (gazebo terrace) and also DJ Demorixx..Ivan is super nice! He even cut my music for my ceremony I think that part will atleast go smoothly! Just make sure to get everything in writing before you get there and print out all your important emails so you have that if there is a problem! We are hiring an outside photographer, Cecilia Dumas and just booking her a room at the Gran Caribe (cheaper than paying the outside vendor fee) Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly!

Ok so I told my adorable FI this morning that I was gonna have him put his suit on tonight and I was going to take pics so I could share them with you. Well when I got home he had made a back drop and set up his tripod and took his pics all by himself. He was quite proud of himself! I thought it was adorable! I said how come you dont get this excited when I ask you to do wedding stuff? lol silly boys!!! Ok so hopefully this works...

Hey ladies...

Brandy....Tenny, Tiera and Lisa are all right. Muscle does weigh more than fat (unfair right??), but the idea is to get your metabolism running at high velocity....lol, this is the 'trick' to weight loss.  The more you work out and strength train, you will build and 'train' your muscles, but at the same time the more your muscles are being used the more harder and longer they work which in turn is increasing your metablosm and this is why you are probably finiding you have much more energy even wvwn when you arent working out.  The first few weeks of a new program will always be 'training' your body to peak it's metabolism and after that you will definately noticce a difference.  And again it's not always the weight that is important but rather inches and quite frankly, how you feel in general.  Trust me it's not an easy road but it's worth the hard work.  You sound like your doing a great job, Keep me updated on your progress and maybe I could make some other suggestions as far as routine goes. BTW Love the long sleeve linen, I think that's the ones I'm going to get.  Kustom Koozies.... lol

Lua....Thanks for the tip I am going to try and make a trp to H&M soon.  We are headed into prime summer shopping so pull out the credit cards...lmao

 

Nighty night for now!!!!
