47 DAYS

There is only 47 days until my wedding...

holy shit.

I made a long.. long.. list of what still needs to be done and bought. ouch.. almost had a heart attack. But, it will get done and be here before I know it. It's actually a little thrilling... having so much to do in so little time! It's like a mad rush to the finish line (and I was never a runner)

********************************

I had a horrible weekend... eating wise. I went off my game.. for TWO days. Not even like, gorge myself to death eating, just eating as I like to call normal. That was a mistake. If you recall from an earlier post It gets a little personal, I talked about my "disorder" My lady "disorder"... no its not like a life threatening disorder.. just a pain in my ass disorder. If I had the chance.. I'd really punch it in the face. Yeah, it's that kind of disorder....

But.. anyway... so I ate normal.. not even completely 100% normal, because I didn't overdue it.. and I even ate healthy at times (that was my self-conscious telling me to be good)

so.. i step on the scales Monday morning (last weighed myself Friday morning)

My jaw dropped... 5 DAMN POUNDS... that's right not a loss.. a gain of 5 pounds in merely less than 3 days... oh yeah.. it's possible people.

Screw you "disorder" and screw you metabolism... it's back to fruits and veggies this week... and a bit more exercising .. because I WILL lose at least 10 more pounds before my wedding... (now 15 counting the extra 5)

It can be such a let down when you realize that you really can never be normal. I can't eat like my fiance... which let me tell you is ridiculous, and makes me jealous 24/7, because he has a metabolism like a rabbit.. (I think rabbits have fast metabolisms?... just a guess) So, it's hard living with someone who can eat any minute of the day and still look good. But, for me to realize this will never be me.. well, kinda sucks. I enjoy food.. I enjoy trying new foods. But, I really have to stay away from anything bad. I guess that is not such a bad thing though. And techincally, I haven't really had and bad food in months.. months! I can't tell you the last time I had fast food.. or chinese (which is my favorite) It has been awhile. But, you know what I have notice? Bad food makes me feel... bad. It makes me feel so groggy and tired, and sometimes just sick to my stomach. So, why do I crave it so much when it does nothing for me... ugh... it can be such a nightmare. Although, this hasn't happened with sweet food, just fatty food. I am not quite sure if there will ever be a day I don't eat sweets.... that would be when the world seriously ends.

Until then... I will just have to enjoy an ice cream every now and then.. in moderation of course.

Sunday Funday

Today was a long hot day... but great!

We went over and visited with our friends from up in northern PA.... we went to the farm and shot guns... walked through fields... jumped some fences.. and just hung out. That's some good ol' southern fun. Not southern like VA/KY/TN, but similar - Southern PA.

Then we went out to lunch at Pat's.. yum. Got me a chicken ceasar salad wrap. It was great. I don't think I can eat another bite today.

Now we are sitting at home, cooling off in the AC, and it feels goooood.

There is a thunderstorm about to roll through, wonder if it will be a good one? And by good one I mean... gusty winds.. hail.. and some power outage. I love when the power goes out. I am not sure why.. just the fun of having to find some candles and just sit and talk. Heaven forbid the TV is off... we might have to talk to each other.

And of course... True Blood is on tonight. My favorite show of all time!

My bed.. one of my favorite places

Every have a moment during the day when you are like "I just want to be laying in my bed right now.."

If you don't... there is seriously something wrong with you!

I day dream of this spot called heaven multiple times throughout the day...

bed... bed.. bed.

There is nothing more relaxing then that feeling of being curled up under warm blankets.. a soft pillow under your head.. and just laying there. You don't have to sleep.. although that is what normally happens.. its just the feeling of being home.

I hate these thoughts a few times today..

Don't get my wrong, I had a wonderful day at a birthday party and hanging with friends. I am just exhausted... and I am not quite sure why?

I think I need more sleep in my life...

With that thought... I am off to bed!
