The Beginnig

3/3/09

Now that the snow is over, I can get down to business. You may be wondering, “hey, what’s up with the wedding blog”? Well, I may have done the worst thing ever!! I went on vacation. A mini-cruise to be exact. How could a girl eat well on a cruise? The answer, my friends is not blowin’ in the wind. It involves a lot, and I mean a LOT of determination…and a lot of avoiding the 24 hour all you can eat buffets!!

I managed to not gain a pound while on vacation…but with a lot of sacrifice. I mean, that previously frozen pizza really and truly did look delicious. But I stuck to the salad bar, the fruit display, and a ton of protein (mostly “grilled”, and by that I mean grill-stamped, chicken). Maybe it was not a vacation for the culinary elite, but I made it.

Now that I am home, it’s back to Kettlebells & Precision Nutrition. Staci turned me on to the Precision Nutrition plan. She told me that it would require me to prepare food ahead of time and to really stick to it. Let me tell you, I am not good at preparing food. I usually run to Whole Foods, Eastside Marketplace or Stop & Shop to grab grub…for lunch & dinner. My fiance and I work opposite schedules, so preparing a meal for one person never made a whole heck of a lot of sense. But, if you want big results, you have to make big sacrifice. I only have 6 months to go and I’ve got a belly to tighten up (amongst other areas!) Plus, even Stop & Shop has a meat counter where you can get one or two pieces of chicken wrapped up. So…my adventure begins. W-Day is August 29th…and counting!
