Breaking News

17 Mar

I RAN A 10 MINUTE MILE!!!

That is all.

Almost there!

16 Mar

I’m just a few days away from becoming a Mrs! I’m holding steady around 134-135 without even trying.. It’s kinda nice. I plan on going to the gym tonight.

I can’t believe I’m getting married Sunday….

I caved

11 Mar

And had a diet coke.

It’s totally my co-worker’s fault. She brought it to me when I told her I hadn’t had one since Saturday.

And it has the amazing crushed Sonic-like ice.

MMMM…….

Did I mention she gave me a Hershey’s bar too?

11 Mar

I weighed in this morning at 134.4!

I had an awesome run last night on the treadmill. 3 miles in 32:44. Eating has been good, but I’m reallllllllllly wanting a diet coke.

I might have to cheat and get one today.

To whomever reads my blog that’s from Broken Arrow, OK:

Please let me know who you are! My mom’s side of the family lives in Tulsa, and I’m originally from Kansas!

Headachhhhheeee

10 Mar

I have a horrendous headache this morning. I blame the weather. One week, its in the 50s, then next, the 80s. My sinuses can’t take it anymore.

On a positive note, I’m sticking at 135.8. Hopefully by the weekend I can hit 134. Then the next weekend IM GETTING MARRIED!!!

Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.

The Diet Coke Monster Rears Its Ugly Head

9 Mar

By 3 o’clock today, I had a kickin’ caffeine headache. I made hot tea this morning, and it just tasted so funky, that I poured most of it out. I was aching for my post-lunch diet coke today. I stopped by Starbucks on the way home and got a tall iced coffee. I tried using Raw Sugar, but that tasted like butt, so I added a Splenda. I’m trying to wean myself off of artificial sugars too. I think I’m going to swing by Publix and pick up a box of Truvia. I tried it the other day at Brandon’s parent’s house and it wasn’t half bad. Zero calorie natural sweetener? I’m down.

In other news, acne systems hate my skin (or vice versa). Proactiv has made my skin dry and flaky, and I’m starting to get nervous about my skin on the wedding day. Any suggestions? I’m already on the pill, and I’ve already tried Acne Free. I really am broke and can’t afford to shell out another $20-30 on something that DOESN’T work.

Tonight, dinner is Chili! Yum-o! I made it with tomato puree, light red kidney beans and Boca Soy crumbles. It smells delicious!

My Scale Redeemed Itself

9 Mar

135.8 this morning. That’s progress in the right direction!

The Final Countdown

8 Mar

Holla. Two weeks from today I will be a married woman.

For this final two weeks, I plan on eating as clean as possible. I’m avoiding processed foods, refined sugar, alcohol (okay that’s a lie), carbs (the bad ones), and soda. I am giving up diet coke for the next two weeks. Dear lord, I hope I survive.

I will post every day again.

I will work out 5 days a week.

I will track every bite of food that goes in my mouth.

Wish me luck!

P.S. – My usual cashier at Publix told me my arms were pretty rockin’ today. It was nice 🙂
