i don't really have much to share these days. i'm not seeing much in terms of weight loss with the diet and exercise. that's hot helped by the fact that the exercise is minimal based off what i was told during PT = bummer. back is still what it was from what i can tell so i just have to trust the professionals that are telling me what i'm doing is going to fix it. it's frustrating quite frankly. i wanted to be a few sizes smaller for when i try on wedding dresses cause i have a little less than a year and want to lose weight before the wedding but not at the last minute otherwise, the bill to have the dress taken in will be pricy. i was planning on having some of that weight already off. GRRRRR!!!!!!!!! i'm still doing what i can when i can to get in some exercises like boxing and long walks with the dogs but that with the kale salads just isn't cutting it. i think i need more options or medical opinions or motivation or something.
work still isn't helping the equation as it's super stressful with all the additional responsibilities and clients at the moment. something has to change on that soon or i am seriously going to burn the hell out. and the sitting all day at a computer for sure doesn't help.
anyway, enough ranting and venting. know that i am still working on it even if the work is tough and the rewards are minimal at the moment. guessing that really working more on the types of exercise will help. more to come sooner rather than later.

the challenge
we finally booked a venue and that makes this whole wedding thing that much more real and in my face! it's super exciting and i'm thrilled we got the venue we wanted!! it means that we can finally get the planning going in full swing :)
it does make me think is that we only have a little over a year left to look absolutely phenomenal for the big day. thus the challenge begins......must set small goals for each month so that we hit the target for next year. the diet change is helping but we really do have to incorporate exercise into the mix. we have a great gym that we just literally haven't gone to in two months so it's time to get off our asses.
it may be a lofty goal but i think we can hit a 5 lb mark a month which would get us down by 60 lbs. yes, i know that not all months we'll hit that and some we'll exceed that though it's a good average to hit considering we've got lots we can shed. we started on wed. with a boxing class and are going to another tone tomorrow :)
more details to come soon!

back to basics
so we strayed a little far from normalcy for a few weeks and learned a valuable lesson. one i said i learned already but i do tend to take the most difficult road to really let those lessons sink in!
i worked 89 hours in two weeks which wouldn't normally be that big a deal except that i worked over the weekend and got those 89 hours in by half day Wed on week two. it was a rough time and we neeeeeeeded the vacation though we really didn't need to pay for it! we headed to Vegas, had wonderful time, and the clothes are a little tight.
so, it's back to the diet for us this week which is going well so far despite the fact that i needed to teach a class on Wed and they brought in food! it is nice to be back into a bit of normalcy food-wise anyway as it really does make me feel better overall. next week we'll incorporate some exercise in as we're getting back and used to the lack of carbs :)
exercise this week has consisted on wrangling the three dogs as we're dog sitting for Jan this week which has been interesting..... i feel like i look similar to an Alaskan dog sledder with the three of them pulling me along! and i do yell MUSH from time to time :) overall, a hilarious scene!
this weekend i think we're going to head up north to see some friends though try to work in checking out some venues in SD. we're a little later than originally planned to have a venue settled though we'll have it settled before we hit the 1 year mark! i'm excited to get the rest of the planning in the works and the crafty stuffs started :)
hope you are all well out there! more soon.....
