Those of you who are close to me know that I am getting married soon!  Liz and I tie the knot in 38 days (from the writing of this post.)  We are both very excited to celebrate!  We’ve really kicked it into high gear for eating healthier and doing some physical activity.  Liz is doing a boot camp over the next month, and I’ve vowed to do a lot more walking.  On the nutrition side, we are both really stepping it up.  Along with some general calorie reduction, and smart eating… we are also trying to eat 5 smaller meals a day to keep our metabolism running on high!  Today marks 72 hours for me without having a soda… which is amazing.  I’m over the hump!  Anyone who has a soda habit like I did can relate.  The caffeine with drawl headaches were intense, but today I can barely feel it.  I know tomorrow morning, they should be completely gone.  I’m sleeping “harder” and for the time being, I’m finding it easier to fall asleep at night.

All in all, a great start.  I’ve got a modest goal of losing 15 pounds before the wedding.  That is do-able, right? RIGHT?

I thought so too.

Today I ushered in Summer with a viewing of The Land of the Lost — skip this movie. It had a few funny moments, but it just didn’t do it for me overall. Then I hit the Gelato stand at Norton Commons. LOVE their chocolate. I also grabbed a small of the Key Lime Pie! Although very good, it was a bad combo on my taste buds. The Key Lime Pie was brutally tart and my taste buds were having no part of it after that sweet chocolate!

For those of you following along at home. WordPress 2.8 Beta release 1 has been released for testing. I’ll probably install it on a test blog here in a few weeks and start testing plugin and theme compatibility. I noticed they made changes to the default theme, so I’m wondering what tweaks and upgrades I’m going to need to make to my themes. If anyone else comes across anything interesting, report back!

Today I spent a few hours updating some of the titles on my real estate site. It will be interesting to see if this increases my position in the search engine rankings in 3 or 4 weeks. I had previously done some updating a few weeks ago, and had positive results. I’m hoping that these changes are positive as well. This post will serve as a reminder to check and see what effect the changes have made.
