more movies

saw
Code
Shooter
confessions of a shopaholic
and watching Body of Lies

tonight.

Shooter and Code were sooo good.
Confessions of Shopaholic... was ok, I think Justin related more to the main character than me lol. (is that bad???)
some scenes were especially exaggerated, and cheesy =P but overall ok movie

Code on the other hand. man i love action. It's one of those trick within a trick within a trick within a trick movies. love it.


diet update:
justin: -10!!!! bing bing bing!! Justin is at -25 if compared to his highest weight.
vicky: -4 (-9 if compared to highest weight)



we went to Santa Monica pier last night. It's similar to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. performances, scenery, very expensive burgers and fries, and tons of ppl. :) it's beautiful though. Justin and I walked to near the 3rd street promenade and checked out some stores, and saw the places we went last time we were there (more than a yr ago!).
we ended up at this english shop. it's one of those stores that sell english tea sets, and english teas, and english chocolates. they had Coffee Crisp too!!! i remember i used to LOVE eating those in hs, and Justin's never had them before, so i got those.. and KINDER chocolate. (omg to DIEE for!!!!!!!) and Dark chocolate Kit Kat! :)

I LOVE hazelnut and chocolate. but sadly. those are my weaknesses =/

our new thing

So Justin and I are trying to lose weight/get fit/get more muscle for the wedding

We are eating alot healthier now!!
We use very little oil cooking, eat cottage cheese, baby carrots, and double fiber bread!!! i am waiting to see how well this bread works.. so far... not too badddd lol

for dinner,
we usually eat spinach salad (the fiance makes killer salads now)
very little rice
and either salmon, veg meat, or chicken breast
and sometimes he throws in a few egg whites in the salads- sooooo goooooodddd

he's been running almost every other day
and i... am eating less snacks from the coworker who i always stole food from- oh so much chinese snacks!!!!! He stocks up every other wknd by going on snack shopping spree at the ranch 99

so anyway,
i think we need to record our results somehow...

his avg weight is
9 lbs less than his previous average weight

mine is about
3.5 lbs



oh and btw, we have been semi slacking off on our wedding planning.
i've written addresses on alot of the invitations but we have not mailed any out.
we have hand delivered to most of the socal (work + church) ppl already though.
have to work on them today and this wknd


oh and btw btw, we got this 10 dollar special at blockbuster- where u pay 10 dollars, and for 7 days u can watch unlimited movies BUT you have to take them out one at a time (like u go back to exchange for another one)
here are the movies we have seen so far this wk:
twilight
marley and me
taken
benjamin button
bedtime stories


we have this deal until sunday. probably not gonna go out alot this wknd.... ;)

miracle....

Thank you God :)

my mailbox is my new best friend :)

because of the wedding, i have been ordering many things online
which means
i get all giddy and excited when i come home, and as i drive onto my driveway, i see things sticking out in my mailbox
oh hello my shimmering paper and wedding band and new hair thingy!

an update:
card stock for the centerpeices (check) --> i've been making them already :)
wedding band for me (check)
wedding band for justin (check)
invitation paper (check)
envelopes (check)

for the next two wks:
- make and mail out invitations
- settle down on a caterer
- songs for the ceremony

random:

Justin: "Did we want to meat the caterer at the venue?"

oooh I love that man.

pretty hair:

i need to be better- i need to

sometimes i dunno why i do the things i do

but i know i can and need to be better than this

Up

On saturday we went to watch the movie UP in 3D.
I must say... it was a tear jerker. lol.
It made me cry a few times..

I really loved watching the scenes of Carl and Ellie.
They are so in love and so cute togetherrr

I think if I were her I probably would be pessimistic and think that I could have done more with my life
but I should be happy about it
Even if Justin and I do not achieve something great, we have each other
and that should be enough




ps. I did not know Star Trek's Starfleet Academy was filmed at CSUN
