Well, I weighed myself first thing this morning, and I'm down two pounds. Yay! It's not much in the grand scheme of things, but it's definitely a start! I was up really late last night and overslept, so I didn't have time for breakfast, but I otherwise ate pretty well today. The drinking wasn't so good. Josh and I rode together today, got a flat tire on the way home, had to get my car towed because my stupid rim is totally effed and we couldn't get the freaking tire off. Erg. Anyway, that's where the second can of diet coke and the beer came in. The sleeping late and getting home late and pissed off kept me from exercising, but hopefully I'll do better tomorrow. Josh is finally working on updating his blog! We're such nerds. Oh, and we picked out a few options for reception venues over the weekend, but more on that later. My brain is way too fried to get into that now. 'Til tomorrow!

Saturday morning Josh had a walk to attend. It was only a mile and I would have really liked to go, except being there for 7am on a Saturday morning is just not my cup of tea. So, I caught up on some much needed sleep and had the morning to myself. So nice. My snacks were a little skimpy compared to what I'd been eating during the week, but overall it was a pretty good day. Today was not. I was pretty much hungry all day because a) we didn't have much in the house and b) there was some work drama that went down and I was too annoyed to eat. This afternoon Josh and I went grocery shopping for the week. We stocked up on more healthy snacks and got everything for our weekly meal plan. We picked up sandwiches last night, but tonight Josh cooked a really great meal. I'd love to tell you all about it, but he'll be adding it to his blog later and I don't want to steal his thunder. I will tell you that it was really delicious, and I've been trying to get him to make it for weeks. I'll edit this post with the link as soon as he puts it up. Tomorrow morning is weigh-in. I'm a little nervous about it. I really feel like I've been trying this week to eat healthier and be more active. I know I can't expect overnight results, but if there's not the slightest difference I know I'll be very dissappointed. Well, I guess we'll see how it goes! I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Diet: Day 5
Here are the facts for the day:
Weight : 177lbs*
Breakfast : one everything bagel with 1tbsp margarine, orange juice
Snack : granola and blueberries
Lunch : nada
Snack : raw veggies and lite ranch
Dinner : sushi
Drink : about 1/2 bottle of water, one can diet coke, one glass of iced tea, 2 glasses of diet coke at dinner
Exercise : am - FAIL!
pm - FAIL!
I was by myself at work today, so I didn't really have time to eat the way I should. It was pretty much a bite here and there all day. And, I didn't realize we were going out to eat, so I drank my daily diet coke at work. I probably should have gotten water with dinner, but I friggen love fountain diet coke. Sushi tonight was definitely a surprise. We only went because Josh didn't feel like cooking after such a long day and we had a gift card, but still - surprises are nice.
Josh posted his first blog today. I am so proud! I've been pushing him to do it because I really think it'll make him branch out and be more creative. He's really talented, and his cooking is already great, but I think if he had the pressure of having to post everything he cooks for people to see then he'll really try to up his game. I can't wait to eat and read about what he comes up with first! Here's the link, go check it out!
Oh, and for all of you who are wondering why I haven't talked about wedding planning in what was supposed to be my wedding planning blog, I just haven't had the time to think much about it this week. But, I promise to annoy the crud out of Josh all weekend! I'll let you know what we come up with!
*This is what I weighed Monday. I plan on weighing myself only once a week.

Diet: Day 4
Here are the facts for the day:
Weight : 177lbs*
Breakfast : one everything bagel with 1tbsp margarine, orange juice
Snack : about two bites of granola and blueberries
Lunch : nada
Snack : nada
Dinner : leftover pasta and tilapia
Drink : about 1/4 bottle of water, one can diet coke, one glass of pomegranate lemonade
Exercise : am - FAIL!
pm - walk for 30min
Today was not a good food day for me. Apparently, I am a mawmaw and need to be in bed before 10pm. I didn't get to bed until around 1am this morning and was tired and nauseated all day. I forced myself to eat breakfast, and I started to eat my 10:30am snack, but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything else all day. Josh picked up some fresh fish on the way home and fixed it with the leftover pasta. It was very yummy. I would definitely recommend the link from yesterday. I had high hopes for the Chicken Piccata from Monday, but it really fell short for me. Speaking of cooking and recipes, Josh finally decided to start up a cooking blog. As soon as he gets the ball rolling I'll post the link. But back to me - I yelled at Josh after dinner and finally got his butt out of the house to walk with me. I think I walked a little longer than I had earlier in the week, and I jogged a little even though I almost died. I just got out of the shower and feel so much better! Accomplished if nothing else. Maybe this whole diet and exercise thing isn't so bad ;)

Diet: Day 3
Here's the facts for the day:
Weight : 177lbs*
Breakfast : Special K with nonfat milk, orange juice
Snack : granola and blueberries
Lunch : I forgot to bring something so I ate raw veggies with lite ranch
Snack : peach
Dinner : Zucchini Ribbon Pasta (very good!)
Drink : about 1/2 bottle of water, one can diet coke, one glass of pomegranate lemonade
Dessert : small Sonic root beer float and two glasses of wine
Exercise : am - FAIL!
pm - FAIL!
I did get up with enough time to eat breakfast, straighten my hair, and dress up for work. Just doing that in the morning has made me feel much better throughout the day, so I know if I could just get up a few minutes earlier to go for a walk it would make all the more difference. I met up with a few friends for free root beer floats at Sonic and then hung out and had a few glasses of wine, which is why I'm late posting Day 3's info. I had a ton of fun, a ton of laughs, and a ton of tips from my married friends, but I am totally dragging ass today. I didn't go to bed until around 1am, so I obviously didn't get up again this morning. Erg. Oh, and Josh has not walked with me once this week - not once - and he says he's lost 3 pounds. If I haven't lost at least 2-3 by Monday, I am going to be 20 different kinds of pissed.

Diet: Day 2
So again I failed to get up early enough for my morning walk. But hey, I never claimed to be a morning person. I did have breakfast, packed snacks for the day, and wore a nice top and heels to work. Here's the facts for the day:
Weight : 177lbs*
Breakfast : Special K with nonfat milk, orange juice
Snack : granola and blueberries
Lunch : Lean Cuisine Cheese French Bread Pizza
Snack : a few baby carrots, apple slices, peach slices
Dinner : leftovers
Desert : small slice of apple tart
Drink : only about 1/4 bottle of water, one can diet coke, one glass of pomegranate lemonade
Exercise : am - FAIL!
pm - walk for 20min
Josh decided he wanted to use his stand mixer by making an apple tart. Gee, thanks. I had a small piece before my walk. I had to cut it a little short because it was really dark, and I was getting eaten alive despite the half bottle of OFF I had on. Again, I was all by my lonesome. Josh started to walk with me, but he took the girls in after only a few minutes because he didn't want them running through puddles. Humph! Hopefully I can drag my lazy ass out of bed in the morning. Wish me luck!!

Flab to Fab!
I have been needing to lose weight for a long time, but I freaking refuse to be a fat bride. So, today was Day 1 of my new diet/exercise regime. Josh and I went grocery shopping last night and got healthy snacks, drinks, and planned a healthy menu for the week. We planned to get up earlier so we can take a walk with the girls and eat breakfast. We also planned on walking in the evenings after dinner. We didn't make the walk this morning, but I did get up early enough to eat breakfast and fix my hair and dress nicely (I normally wear a tshirt and jeans to work). Just doing that made me feel a lot better. Josh had a migraine tonight, so I walked with the girls by myself. Here's my info for the day:
Weight: 177 lbs (Eep!)
Breakfast: Special K cereal with nonfat milk, orange juice
Snack: granola and blueberries
Lunch: nada (I brought a Lean Cuisine, but I never had time to eat it =/)
Snack: raw veggies with light ranch
Dinner: Chicken Piccata
Snack: half an apple
Drinks: half a bottle of water at work, one can of diet coke with dinner (I hate water and love diet coke, so this is actually really good for me.)
Exercise: am- FAIL!
pm - walk for 30min
I'm going to really try to update this daily. Not to bore you, but so I can be accountable to "someone." Heeeerrrrree we go!
