Operation Jiggle Reduction

Much has happened since my last post.  Actually, only one thing, but it was a big one.  My boyfriend proposed to me!!  I said yes of course once I stopped crying.

I didn’t realize what a huge deal everyone would make out of this.  Of course I’m very excited to be marrying him (the wedding wouldn’t be for 2 years), and the proposal was a surprise, but not completely unexpected.  Family and friends insisted on taking us out to eat, buying us gifts, and just general celebration.

One of the gifts, a George Foreman grill!  It’s one of those gigantic grills with the removable plates and a bun warmer.  I’m going out to get a bunch of ground turkey today to make some yummy turkey burgers.  I’m trying to get my boyfriend fiance (it’s going to take a while to get used to saying that) to eat a little healthier.  He loves his red meat.

After all the excitement and celebration I was psyched to get back to the gym.  I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I was thinking, "How awesome now that I’m wearing my engagement ring at the gym, all those *******s who try and pick me up and distract me will leave me alone!"  No one bothered me at the gym, and the front desk lady at the gym did comment on my sparkly ring, but when I was doing seated rows I was like, "OWWW!!  This pinches like a bitch!"  When holding the weights/bars/handles especially metal ones right under my ring it pinched my hand.  Normally I don’t care about things like blisters.  I don’t make a living using my hands and I’m not a hand model so no worries, but I think this is going to turn into a blood blister.  Yuck.  So I may have to take the ring off and wear it on my necklace or something when working out.  Bummer.

It’s a small price to pay to be a buff bride.  Now I’m going to go grill something.
