Drowning

For all the wonderful things that come with being engaged, comes a lot of challenges. I am not talking about any real issues with the boy just dealing with how to manage my time and eating. I wish they would make a movie or book about the real world version with being engaged. How fun, positive, and excellent it can be to have a new family now but also how time consuming it can be.

I will admit it. I have been too embarrassed to post lately b/c I have been completely off plan. I haven't gone running in a week. Last night, the boy and I ate about our weight each in fried chinese food..... and I had the left overs tonight for dinner. Le sigh... It's like everything I knew/know about Weight Watchers has flown out the window. You would think that with a pending dress and big day that would kick me into gear but it kind of has done the opposite.

Honestly, I am stressed out about how the boy and I will pay for our wedding, a house, and frankly just the groceries this next week. (I have 47 bucks left in my bank account until next week payday) This is going to be interesting.

SO here is the plan:

1. Assess what food I have in the fridge. Make it work for the next week.

I know I need fruit, bread, and lunch meat for next week's lunches. (Or enough leftovers to bring for lunch.

I am going to take 10 bucks out of my acct and hit the farmers markets and try to get as much fruit as I can for 10 bucks.

I am going to make low fat wheat bread by scratch this Sunday or Monday for lunches. I have whole wheat flour and yeast. I can do this! :-) (Which I will include the recipe after I create it)

I have fixings for turkey burgers, and enough left over SF dressing to make another batch of pasta salad.

2. I need to work out. It is supposed to be rainy this week in WI so I need to pack some gym clothes in the car so I can go to the Y after work if it is raining. No excuses.

3. Need to take a step back from wedding planning/budgeting. It is really overwhelming to me.

Ok so hopefully this will get me back on track! I don't want to feel bloated and ashamed of what I have eaten. That is not who I want to be or how I want to live my life. Right now, I feel like food has total control over my life.

I will take a picture of everything I put in my mouth even if it is just string cheese because it will keep me accountable and on track. I don't care how crazy I might seem.

Probably just hang with the boy exhausted at this point.

Friday is the boy's 26th birthday. Fish fry with him and his family and Saturday we are going to IL to pick up MY ENGAGEMENT RING!!!!! and go to Chicago for the Jazz Fest! Should be an amazing time, but I will need all the AP's and WP I can get to not bust the bank.

The cat's are fine. Bogart is as sweet as ever and well Lily... she loves RF oreo's as much as I do.

Plus she ate a frozen waffle I had out on the counter to toast. She chewed it up before I got back to it. She needs some Kitty WW.
