Playing catch-up once again. I got back Monday evening from my weekend trip to WV. I had a pretty good time with my friends and family and ate and didn't exercise. I was doing a lot of eating when I wasn't hungry, and I ate out multiple times over the weekend. Four to be exact, well, five if you count subway on the way home Monday.
It is was it is and now I'm ready to get back on track! Only 3 1/2 weeks until the wedding!! Yesterday we went to the gym and did strength training session B and then 35 minutes on the elliptical. We were both feeling weak and out of shape. I am out of shape, but feeling it more so than usual. I just kept staring at the clock during cardio. Two things: I need a better mix of fast paced music. As much as I love Sia and Fleet Foxes they just don't get me going like Rhianna does haha.
Food was okay, I kept feeling the need to munch and eat. I woke up and ate a bowl of oatmeal, then an apple, then some plan yogurt w/ jam and granola, then I made a small burger and then I had two chicken, black bean, rice and avocado burritos when I got home. I definantly had an appetite.
I started the day out with 40 minutes of tae bo level 2 boot camp. I. did. not. want. to. do. it. Which is how it goes with exercise. Why does the brain do that? I know I'm not the only one. Its just exercise, whats the struggle about? I felt so spent when I finished. I just sat on the couch like a sweaty noodle and then made a fried egg. And then ate an apple. Now I feel good again.
Want to see fun wedding stuff? yes? okay!
Here are my wedding shoes:
I can't tell you how long I search and search for wedding shoes. It's sad really. All I wanted was a simple pair of mid-heel, peep-toed, light colored shoes that don't cost a ton of money. I found the perfect shoe like 10 tens, but it was in black, or $200, or with a 3" heel. And finally I found these at mod cloth and hoping they fit nicely. I also wanted a shoe I could wear again and I will defianantly wear these.
And then I got one of these to push up and suck in.
And finally, I've been making boutonnierre's for the fellows:
I love the boutonnierres you are making. Weddings are so much more fun when the bride puts a personal touch on things like that.
The weekends are hard for me too. Especially when a holiday is involved. It’s so hard to stick to a regimen on those two days of the week. With 3 1/2 weeks left before your wedding, I know you will stay motivated and get back on track. That’s how I feel every Monday morning. Great pick on the shoes and love the boutonnierre’s.
You’ve been crafting and exercising! I envy your productivity.
Love the shoes. keep up the exercise.
Oh I adore Sia…but I know what you mean. I primarily listen to alternative/rock music except when I work out. Might I suggest Lady Gaga “Poker Face”, Katy Perry “Hot N Cold”, Duffy “Mercy” and hell, even Britney Spears “Womanizer” if you don’t already have these. These are all in my work-out playlist and they do get me movin’.
I’m with you on the exercise – I don’t think I will ever really like it, but I’m figuring out more and more just how important it is.
Gorgeous shoes – and the boutonnieres are fabulous! You’re very crafty!
LOVE the shoes! The pink detail is adorable.
I love your wedding shoes! Finding the shoes was the toughtest part of the whole ensemble for me. They all cost a fortune. Yours are lovely!
Ah! The flower making was the worst part of my wedding planning!! I am not crafty.
I’ve hit an exercise lull too. I hate it now. and dread the gym. Maybe it’s the nice weather. Or the fact that I’ve been so close to my goal for so long but haven’t pushed forward.
Love the shoes!!!!
I think that there is a lull going on in the weightloss blogosphere, a lot of people are feeling blah about excercise lately!
Hello, I’ve been reading your blog for a few weeks now and I can’t remember if I’ve commented or not?! Anyway, a couple of things, firstly I LOVE your wedding shoes, they’re absolutely gorgeous!
And secondly I totally know what you mean about workout music, I find throwing in a bit of Motown or some dirty dance beats really helps when I’m flagging, although nothing beats silly shiny pop!
