The Fourth Great Attempt: Week 12
April 3, 2010 @ 01:54 pm
Well I was going to update over the last week with some various bits of news and a few thoughts on things, but ... I was busy. So I'll save some thoughts for future posts and relay the news right now:I'm getting married!
The Beau and I have been together for 5 years and our anniversary was Thursday April 1. Well he had a half day off at work on Thursday (and a day off yesterday) so to enjoy the absolutely beautiful day, we went on a picnic in Central Park. After eating our food and chatting he pulled out a short story he wanted me to read. He's a writer, so I often read the things he's working on but I hadn't even heard that he was working on this so I figured it was a nice anniversary gift. By the end of the story, which had us as the main characters, his character had proposed to mine. When I'd finished, my boyfriend was proposing to me.He's so sweet. Yesterday we went ring shopping and then to the gym together. Hehe.
The rest of the week was pretty good in the gym, not terrible food-wise. Food is definitely my Achilles Heel in this process, it's really easy to eat all the wrong things, snack myself to fatness, and completely ignore a fridge-full of veggies and fruit and opt for any bread-based carbohydrate I can find. It's a good thing I didn't actually make bread last week. But I'm not too broken up about it.
I feel good. The gym feels good. I feel like I'm pushing myself but I also feel like I'm always ready for more. We have some party-esque things this weekend where I am sure to eat bad stuff but I was in the gym today, I'll be in the gym tomorrow, and I'll do my best to eat right from Monday on. Then I promise I will finally weigh-in on Wednesday - the day before my birthday. eek!
