I had all this from Thursday through last night, and the lethargy is still with me. Not as bad as it was, but when you eat Arby's, Subway, Wendy's, Arby's, Subway, and Cracker Barrel for your main meals (plus two days of warmed up plastic for free hotel breakfast), you get to feeling crappy. My water intake also took a nosedive.
I've just polished off my shake, and refilled my 24 ounce water cup. It's time to get back on track. Now that the jerks that have been breaking into houses in our neighborhood have been caught, I may also go for a walk tonight. I'll definitely be going grocery shopping tonight, so I can get my steps in that way if need be.
I have had this hankering (I just had a weekend vacation in Mississippi, so yes, hankering) to get back into my Body Combat DVDs, along with searching for martial arts classes. I think this weekend helped get me to the point of wanting to workout more, as several people complimented me on my dress and my progress - my favorite being my father-in-law when he said "I'm trying to be as PC about this as possible, since it's coming from your dad-in-law, but you are rocking that dress! You can tell you've been working hard to get where you are. There, that sounds better than 'Damn, girl!' right?" Either way, Dad, I'll take the compliment, thanks!
The last time I wore this dress was the week after our wedding, when we went to a friend's wedding. I couldn't hold it up quite as well, and I didn't fill it out quite as well. I don't have a photo to prove it, so you'll just have to trust me. Now, if I could just get my eyes to cooperate, and I could have contacts again...
This was us on our wedding day almost 5 years ago. I don't know about you, but I can tell a difference. I stand up straighter, my arms are more toned, and my chest is thrust forward more (due in part to better posture). Zach's gotten hotter with age, too. I miss my long hair, but that's slowly coming back.
Anyway, we're getting back on track today with our eating. Even Zach said he felt blah the last few days. Amazing how a few minor changes can screw up a person - or heal them! Even an upcoming girls night is going to be nothing but healthy dining, as Lauren (who is the lady of honor) has requested enchiladas, so we'll be doing those with a squash/pepper/pea/zucchini/mushroom stirfry, and healthy(ish) brownies on Saturday. I love it when two of my passions come together! Cooking has become so much more fun since we started eating healthier. It's almost like a game finding new healthy recipes.
OK, I need to get back to work! Stay beautifully you, and don't give up on whatever it is you want in life.
