Whew, what a weekend! It feels like the past month has flown
by. Our wedding is in just over a month and I can’t believe it has gotten here
so fast! The weekend, as far as eating goes, was a failure of epic proportions.
I didn’t do well at all. We had a couple friends over for a BBQ on Sunday and I
overindulged, and Saturday, which was the same story. I’m not going to dwell on
it, or beat myself up about it. Today is a new day, and so far I am doing
really well. Something I struggle with, though, is finding foods that make me
feel full. I will usually have toast and some fruit for breakfast, but I always
end up feeling hungry. Then, I eat unhealthy foods (because there are plenty of
those at work), and then I go over my daily calorie allowance. Any suggestions for healthy, filling
breakfasts and snacks?
Speaking of wedding, as I said, it is fast approaching and
we are busy wrapping up all of the details now. I am getting more emotional
about it as it gets closer. By emotional, I mean I tear up when I watch “Say
Yes to the Dress” and “Four Weddings” on none other than TLC. Haha. I am so
excited to not only share such a special time with all of our friends and
family, but I am so excited to marry my best friend. I tend to use that fact
that we are planning a wedding as an excuse to eat less healthy. Sounds dumb, I
know, but being busy constantly makes eating quick (unhealthy) food more convenient.
I am a serious snacker, so when I am doing paperwork or
scheduling appointments at work, I tend to get bored (my idea of hungry), so I
eat. I have tried to get better about this by keeping gum and water with
Crystal Light Peach Tea in it at m desk…this helps to an extent, but the thing
that helps the most is keeping the food away. This rings true at home as well.
My bridal shower, which was beauuuutiful, was at the end of June, and I got two
bags of Skittle in one of the gifts. Not the individual serving bags, the BIG
bags. I enjoyed those puppies, too much! If it is in the house, and ESPECIALLY
if it is snacky/sweet and unhealthy, you better believe I will eat it!
So, my goal for this week is to keep those things out of the
house. I need to work on my willpower. This has been a HUGE struggle for me for
most of my life. Here’s to another week!
I will work harder, better, faster and stronger!
