Oh man, I just totally bailed on you guys with no heads up. I’m sorry!
David and I unexpectedly went up to his aunt’s house over the weekend to use her color printer to print off our wedding invitations. A wonderful, super talented friend of mine is a graphic designer and she designed all our wedding stationary for us as a gift. Then she gave us super low-cost tips for how to print them out ourselves and get professional (and cheap!) results. Our invites cost $20 plus the cost of printer cartridges! Hooray!
We had an unplanned chance to go up and bang them out this weekend, so we dropped everything to make that happen. I didn’t bring my laptop with me, so no blog updates, sadly.
Before we went up there, though, I had a wedding gown fitting on Saturday morning! The fitting went really well! My dress definitely needs to be taken in again thanks to the weight I’ve lost so far. The seamstress was wonderful about it all. Kind and professional without making me feel self-conscious or stupid. She’s going to take in the bust now, but leave the waist until my August fitting. That way, if I lose more weight (which I TOTALLY WILL) she can take the waist in just once, instead of having to do it twice. I felt really great walking out of there.
And of course, I barely remember what happened over the last three days. I know I did Workout 10 on Friday, although I can’t remember if it went well or not…On Saturday I took a long hike in the woods for my cardio.
Food was…well. Let’s just say that I haven’t been in top form food-wise for the last few weeks….
FRIDAY:
I dashed out of the house without making breakfast, so I grabbed a vegetable cheese omelet.
And some pineapple.
I ate my lunch outside while reading on my kindle. Two leftover slices of pizza.
…..and we also had pizza for dinner. Yikes!
I had one oatmeal dark chocolate cookie for dessert.
SATURDAY:
Two scrambled eggs with spinach, parm, and a little bit of salsa.
Yeah. That’s a bowl of Kraft mac & cheese, which was my lunch. I have no comment.
I had an oatmeal dark chocolate cookie in the car.
When we stopped at the co-op to pick up some groceries, I snagged this sample of pumpkin brownie and vanilla gelato. YUM.
I’m sad to say I broke my NO CALORIE DENSE BEVERAGES rule a little bit early. On Saturday night I had just 4 oz of red wine while working on invitations.
We went out to a greasy spoon for dinner with David’s aunt, uncle, and grandmother. Almost NO truly healthy options there. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. I ate half of the sandwich and the fries and brought the rest home.
Breakfast was an egg, turkey bacon, tomatoes, and avocado.
Lunch was the second half of my sandwich and sweet potato fries.
I got super snack attacks in the afternoon. I had a luna granola bar, but then I also had a handful of candied pecans, one small package of fruit snacks, and one square of dark chocolate (the latter three not pictured).
Dinner was sparkling water, venison steak, barley vegetable bread (with butter), thyme mashed potatoes (with butter), corn on the cob (er…with butter), and steamed broccoli.
Then for dessert I had a small slice of homemade rhubarb crisp with a dollop of Greek yogurt mixed with cinnamon.
On the ride home, David and I shared this all-natural, cane sugar grapefruit soda. The second slip up in my no calorie-dense beverages week.
Whew! I am going to go catch up on all of your blogs now. I know some people are now FINISHED with Body Revolution, which is AWESOME! I can’t wait to go read all about your amazing results! And I promise not to disappear on you guys without warning again!
