The Wedding…We ate!!!!
Posted on July 31, 2006
So my stepson Brandon, and his fiance Katie…got married. I can not believe that I am now officially a mother of 2 and I never even had kids…just millions of bottles!! 
Anyway, it was wonderful, a perfect wedding and I couldn’t be happier for them. The kids wanted to get married at a Mission in Carmel, California and so they did. A Beautiful Day with a Gorgeous Bride and Groom, but I have to admit that I’m happy that its over and the kids are now officially on the honeymoon that we sent them on….To Italy.
It seems like we ate our way through California. I went to San Francisco first with my parents, Myrna and Ronnie, and my beloved husband Steven to see our niece Merriah. We saw her…and we ate!! The next day we went the Mark Hopkins hotel to eat the buffet breakfast at the “Top of the Mark” and we did…then off to see a Monet exhibit at the Legion Museum (or something like that)… then we rushed to Ghiradelli Square for a little more sustenance, to eat lunch and to eat a hot fudge sundae…and then out to dinner with my sister and brother in laws Jacque and Jim…to eat again.
The next day…we all drove to Monterrey where we stopped at this great boardwalk along the way and had corn dogs, fries and ice cream— (we even found fried twinkies, oreos and cheesecake here!!!) played some fascination…. and at the end of the day, the family and friends of the bride and the groom met up for a pizza party rehearsal dinner. We ate again….
The next day was the wedding….We ate and celebrated….and Sunday…we ate brunch with the family at the Hyatt….ate lunch at Big Sur with Victoria Jackson and her family….and finally decided that I didn’t want to eat dinner because I couldn’t eat another thing anymore!!!
Anyway…I’m back now…working and working out like an animal again. I gotta get finished with these carbs….so today I am detoxing cause I feel lousy.
I can tell you all one thing…
I can’t keep doing this or I will have to go on Celebrity Fit club again and
Harvey will break my head!! The crazy thing is…because I exercised by walking and being active…I NEVER GAINED A POUND!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Hi Wendy,
Congrats on the wedding.
That is amazing you didn’t get an ounce, you must of stuck to some of your Celebrity Fit techniques.
When you were on the show, what kind of diet did you follow? Do you still follow the same diet now? Or do you do something different?
Would love any tips you would like to share.
Thank you for the inspiration and the humor!

Hi Wendy, It’s Rayna again. Thinking about this web siet every time I head to the gym. I am closer to my goal weight, but a ways to go yet!!
Congrats on the Wedding!! Sounds like A LOT of fun!! Italy how fun!!! Our pick for orders was between here in Guam and Italy. I LOVE Guam, but long to at least visit Italy!!
Again, congrats on your step son’s wedding, sounds great!!
Also, BIG HUGE CONGRATS and working out and not gaining any more weight while all the dinners and brunches were going on. It’s hard during those times to make time to stay fit and maintain!! GOOD JOB!!
I’ll keep checking back and looking forward to seeing your line some time soon!!
Big Hugs and Best Wishes,
Rayna

DeaR Daisy…I am during my busy season with my job…so I have fallen behind a bit. I apologize and promise to get better at this!! In any event…its all about these 3 things.
Portion control
exercise
cut those carbs down!!
The first thing I do when I get serious going on a program is to take carbs completely out of my diet for a few days…and then put them back slowly. You can’t believe how good you feel not eating them!! Even I hate to admit to it!!
But let me know if you can do it. I’m starting on Monday again…and my husband is going to quit smoking that day too!!!
Love and Hugs
