Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.....


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!
