ISHT - New Friends edition

So…I have a new friend! YAY NEW FRIENDS!

145 y’all, I’ve officially lost 5 pounds! Yay!

Okay, one thing I want to clear up before ISHT, I wanted to say one thing about weddings.

I love them.

I love every wedding I’ve ever been to. I think weddings are the most wonderful things in all the land. I love big church weddings and I love little casual weddings. I love huge receptions with the chicken dance and a conga line, and I love weddings with no dancing and just a great dinner. I love out of town weddings and in town weddings.

I don’t want anyone to ever think that I don’t “approve” of big, fancy, girly girl weddings; I think those are fabulous, I really do.

What I want to get across is that there are all kinds of ways to do this, and I want people to let me do it my way…which they are for the most part, sometimes I just need to blow off steam.

But I don’t think women that want to create a picture, and have beautiful food and a color scheme and beautiful cakes and all that are stupid, I don’t…I love weddings like that, I really do. I love them all.

But, I love mine the most!

Okay, so the weight still coming off…I really credit the no meat, and not just the lost calories due to no meat, but the smarter choices I make. Like today, running around, going to the dentist (I have to get a night guard, how sexy is this bride huh? HUH?) and instead of running to Potbelly or McDonalds or wherever for meat and bread, I ran into the 7-11 for a huge thing of fruit.

It’s just easier to eat better without the meat…

I did have some last weekend, had some delicious sausage and shrimp and that was great! And it was good to eat it and now it’s fine not to. I’m not missing it at all, really…although, hixx may need a cheeseburger soon…

So I’m just cruising right now, strength training and running and an occasional bike ride in between, this is how we do it…
