Jewelry... I love it. But I do not love wearing it 24 hours a day. I absolutely love my engagement ring. But no, I do not even wear that every second of every day. I take it off to wash my hands, to wash dishes, to take a shower, to cook. I even take it off most of the time when I am at the gym. At first, I wore it, but I realized how fast it was going to get scratched up... so now I don't wear it unless I am only doing cardio.

Thursday, I went tanning after work. Yes, I go tanning. Don't bother yelling at me. I know it's horrible, but I can't stand looking like the color of paste. So I tan twice a week. Anyway, yes, you guessed it, I take my ring off when I get into the tanning bed. Normally, I stick my ring in my purse, but this time for some reason, I put it on the table next to the tanning bed. Kind of stupid, I know. As I was walking out of the room, I turned right back around as I realized I forgot my ring. The lady at the desk asked me what I forgot. When I told her it was my engagment ring, she looked at me like I was an idiot. She's not the only one. My mom has lectured me more than once about how I should never take my ring off. There's a few other people who have made comments about it as well. I don't think it's a big deal that I don't wear my ring every second of every day. Generally when I'm out and about, it's always on my finger. Most people haven't seen me without it. It's mostly when I am at home that I don't have it on. Does anyone else think this is weird?

Onto other things...

I was all set to do another cleanse update, but that's not going to happen. Maybe in a few days. As of Saturday morning I was down 5 lbs. BUT, that was before a night of drinking. I cheated... bad. Last week was my little brother's birthday, so we took him out Saturday night. I originally had plans to only have 1 or 2 drinks. This quickly changed. My bar tab is proof of the stupidity that took place that night. I also realized I cannot party with 22 year olds anymore. I felt awful all day Sunday.

Yesterday we had a surprise party for my oldest brother and my dad - they both have milestone birthdays this month. Although I didn't eat a lot, the food that I did eat was not on the plan.

So, I didn't even bother weighing myself this morning because I knew I would probably just get pissed at myself all over again. I may not have actually gained that much, but I'm sure some of it is water retention since I was also not good at getting my water in this weekend. Don't worry, I am back on track and I won't be getting off track again for the duration of this, which is a little over 2 more weeks.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
