Meal 1: Coffee/Eggwhites/Banana
Meal 2: Leftover Chicken and Beans/Yogurt
Meal 3: I'm not telling
Meal 4: Still not talking about it
So, it is Friday. I hit the 161 AGAIN. Anyone want to take bets on what it will be come Monday? I'm saying 163. Next week, however, I plan on working out to see how low I can get by THAT Friday. I nice little reality check about engagement photos may do the trick. I have exactly two weeks and two days from today to get a tan and trim down enough to look cute in the dress I want to wear.

Meal 1: oops, forgot to eat this morning
Meal 1: Oatmeal/Raisins/Whey
Meal 2: Chicken/Vegetables/Lavish/Grapes
Meal 3: Yogurt
Meal 4: Chicken/Black Beans/Northern Beans/Couscous
I realize that is very high carb and low protein. The office is a mess, there is no food cooked at home...ugh! What happened?
Oh, and the Gods are on my side today. I was feeling rebelious. I wanted a beer - no beer in the house. Fine, I'll drink wine - no wine in the house. Rum and Coke? - no coke. FINE, I'll have some of that pink champaign that has been sitting in the fridge since our engagement - NASTY...we promptly dumped it down the drain.
We had a yummy healthy dinner but I was still feeling rebelious. Rob went to bed early so I tip-toed to the fridge to grab a raw cookie. Halfway through my savoring indulgence, Rob comes back downstairs wanting so cuddle time - I threw the remaining dough in the trash. Yes, I contemplated digging it back out after he went back to bed but I opted, instead, for an apple. The Gods are on my side today...

Meal 1: RTD
Meal 2: Eggwhites/Eng Muffin
Meal 3: Salad/Tuna/Craisins/Baba Ganoush/Pita
Meal 4: Pork/Asparagus/Onions
Meal 5: Protein Shake/ half an apple
moving moving moving. Get those doggies moving. Yet another crazy day at work moving and packing.
I am also retiring Baba Ganoush and Pita from my 'allowed' items. After further investigation into the nutritional value, I've decided it is not worth the calories. There really isn't much protein or carbs, but there is fat. Today, I will enjoy my leftovers but no longer order. I will also refrain from eating pita with my hummus. It is only vegetables from here on out. After all, it is the little changes to our habits that make the biggest impact overall!
Wedding update:
Taking a poll from our vegetarians as to their preference on meals. Thank goodness I did! Turns out one will not eat mushrooms - that would have been horrible if I had chosen my original portobella mushroom meal!!! Also drafting my programs. That takes a heck of a lot more work than I had anticipated. Thank you, Sara, for volunteering to make them for me - you ROCK! I turned in my cake order. Had to nix the Sunflower - I don't want fondant sunflowers, I want fresh. I'll have to go back to Cheri, my florist, for that one. Still need to come up with plastic brown ribbon too! yikes - don't let me forget!

Meal 1: RTD
Meal 2: Eggwhites/Eng Muffin
Meal 3: Chicken/Barley/Broccoli
Meal 4: craisins
Meal 5: Hummus/Chicken/Pita/Veggies/Eggplant
It is much easier to get 5 meals in when you get up earlier in the morning. OK, meal 4 didn't really count but I packed my desk up and couldn't find my protein bars!
Also, I've been trying to focus on TT. They had a great podcast to listen to. If you think about it, he doesn't ask for all that much of your time. It almost feels lazy but proven to be efficient so I say go for it, right? Of course, I still didn't get to the gym but I'm doing tons of lifting at the office!

Another weekend gone!
Saturday, started out ok. Egg on english muffin. Then 2 hard boiled eggs while driving to PA. Lunch was a chicken pita. Then we moved on to have one beer. Next was dinner with parents. 2 glasses of wine, a few pieces of break, broccolini, shellfish sampler, and CAKE! (then more cake - see below)
Sunday, harvest bar, RTD, then mussels and 2 dirty ho's at our favorite place in Pila (Eulogy). We next stopped by Baltimore and grabbed a burrito to take home. I guess in the scheme of things, it wasn't too bad but there were definite no-nos in there!
Wedding UPdate:
We had picked up a bunch of samples from the bakery that day to pick out our wedding cake. I 'upgraded' on the design - probably a waste of money, but oh well. So of course after dinner my parents, Rob and I sat around the table tasting 4 different flavors.
I should back up and mention we had dinner at The Desmond. I love them. That is where we are staying for the wedding and having brunch the following morning. They just really know how to treat their employees and guests - big or small. I also found out that The Desmond is where a lot of celebrities stay for QVC. Anyway, we had a great time. Next, we dropped the folks off at The Courtyard, another hotel I booked rooms at (for a lesser price) and headed to the Zimmerman estate. There, we did another round of cake tasting - I barely had one large slice by the time it was all said and done. I believe we have settled on the following:
Top layer - Chocolate Raspberry (looks a lot like Red Velvet!)
The other four will be: Chocolate Raspberry, Carrot, Vanilla/Sour Cream, and Chocolate. No fillings (too costly) and with buttercream frosting. We will have brown ribbon, clusters of leaves and a few sunflowers.
We also met with Noreen - the best catering coordinator in the world (IMO)! We settled on our menu. Cocktail hour will be filled with a cold station containing olives, breads, oils, hummus, veggies, etc. Passed kobe beef with wild rice and guacamole, honeydew/kiwi fruit shooters, bacon-wrapped scallops, edible cracker spoons with chicken curry, vegetarian spring rolls, and the best...MINI PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS!!!!!! Another thing we are currently looking in to - a pierogi station. The trick is to find a place that has true AUTHENTIC Polish pierogis (that we can purchase in large quantities from a bonded/insured facility). If Noreen can find it, she will set the station up to have on the spot sauteed onions/bacon to drizzle over the pierogis. That line could be really really really long! (or they could be horrible and the damn Poles will be offended and no one will touch them) who cares. We'll decide after she finds a price!
First course is some type of salad. Second course will be mango or lemon sorbet. Main course will be Fillet Mignon, Ahi Tuna and a Vegetarian dish (to be decided by our vegetarian friends). The sides will be garlic smashed potatoes and asparagus bundles. Dessert is the yummy wedding cake.

99 bottles of beer on the wall....
technically 99 days of wedding prep to deal with.
Meal 1: Eggs/2Toast/2 strips of Bacon/Soy cheese
Meal 2: Chicken/Zucchini
Meal 3: Harvest Power Bar/Salad
Meal 4: Protein Shake
Meal 5: ???? I can't remember!
I'll go back to lifting again next week. I slacked on the cardio for way too long. I did get a nice compliment today. One of the girls at work noticed that I have been slimming down. AND today I put my favorite pair of pants on after being freshly washed. They fit sooo much better. They were getting really tight in the ass and thighs. yeah!!!

100 Days To Go!!!! Holy Hell!!!!
Meal 1: Eggwhites/2 Toast
Meal 2: Chicken/Zucchini/apple
Meal 3: Chicken/Zucchini
Meal 4: Sangria (just one small glass/Mushrooms(spoonful)/Shrimp(2)/chicken skewer(half)/potato squares(spoonfull)/tomato(half)/cheese(3 slices)
Went to La Tasca for a birthday dinner with my girlfriend Jen. I think we kept it relatively light and only had the one small glass of sangria. Of course we sat there for 3 hours talking until the waitress came over and kicked us out. Yes, they told us there was a reservation and they needed the table. Oops!
Finally made it to the gym! Our office is taking photos for security cards today and they gave us no warning. This morning was a wash and go so I looked like crap. I chose to go to the gym, sweat, and then shower and actually do my hair. Whatever - motivation is motivation, right?

Meal 4: EAS Protein Bar
Meal 5: Yogurt
Meal 6: Grilled Cheese
Dealing with the wedding bands today. The verdict is not good. I need to address something with the engagement ring and I fear it will be like pulling teeth with Rob. Poor guy.
No gym today. I did go for a nice walk to and from the metro/jeweler. I have horrible blisters on my toes now!!

Meal 3: Harvest Power Bar/Popcorn/Diet Coke
Meal 4: Grilled Cheese/Coldstone Cake
Don't ask me what happened. I don't eat that stuff. I was pulling it out of the freezer to throw away and I started eating it. I didn't even like it but I ate some. Stupid. And with no gym, it is not a good time to eat bad things!
Nothing happening today. Went to the dentist yet again to try to adjust the crowns. Slowly but surely they are getting more comfortable but still not quite right.

Meal 1: RTD
Meal 2: Spaghetti squash/Chicken/black beans/tomatoes
Meal 3: Chicken/zucchini/sweet potato wedge/apple
Meal 4: Harvest Power Bar
Meal 5: Protein Shake/toast
Personal goal....be nice. It has been brought to my attention that I tend to flick off at folks a bit too often. I am generally a very nice and considerate person, however, there are some moments when some one's stupidity or ignorance knocks me so far back that I run my mouth off. I know that in the end, I look the fool - but more importantly, it is unkind to another human being and truly not my style. So, as of now, I am working very hard on biting my tongue, stepping back for a breather, and THEN moving forward in a more compassionate and professional manner.
Moving on
Wedding update - nothing really. I'm more excited to begin working on Dana's baby shower! I'm also trying to come up with a solution to get more guests to visit the website. I'm thinking about putting the address on the outside of the invitations - seeing that they are already sealed and ready to be mailed.

Well, so much for those measurements!!My goodness, I'd hate to take them again right now. I ate so many bad bad bad things this weekend. Well, mostly I had a bunch of sweets that my body is just not used to. No workouts - but we knew that.
Here is my adorably pregnant friend, Dana. I'm just so excited for her!!!
(that is a NON-alcohol beer)
The boys had tequila on Friday and pig roast on Saturday. I would post a picture but it may upset some and turn others in to vegetarians...
My favorite was our rendition of the redneck happy hour. Pregnant and barefoot with her dirty feet propped up on the keg out on the front porch. In reality, she was drinking O'Douls and the kegs were left over from her husband's birthday celebration and the feet were simply propped up because she was pregnant and on her feet all day...but a picture is worth a thousand words!

Meal 1: RTD shake
Meal 2: Chicken/Asparagus
Meal 3: Chicken/Asparagus/Salad
Meal 4: Protein Shake
Meal 5: Yogurt/Whey
Not doing so well with the workouts yet again. Tomorrow I head to Ohio so I know I will not be doing anything more involved than walking. ugh!
On the flip side of that, it makes a difference simply to eat right. I finally did my measurements again. The woudl be even better if I hadn't screwed around for two months!

The spacing on blogger really sucks lately! It is constantly adding extra spaces between my paragraphs and irritating the heck out of me!

Meal 2: Chicken/Asparagus/Yogurt/Banana
Meal 3: Chicken/Salad
Meal 4: Protein Shake
Meal 5: Apple/PB
Wedding update:
Irritated with Washington Diamond right now. Originally my ring was to be ready on June 21st. Well, they didn't order it till the following week so it wasn't ready until June 28th. Now, I could get over that IF they would have called me and kept me in the loop. Instead, I was constantly calling THEM to see where the ring was and why it was held up. It took them three calls to inform me that it was simply ordered late. So, we go to pick up the ring on the 29th...I don't like it. It did not lay flush like we had anticipated when we chose it. With the holiday, we needed to wait an additional week before we could even schedule a time to come back. The plan was to come back on July 12th, drop off my engagement ring (they still have my wedding band) to have the goldsmith make adjustments to both while Rob and I stepped out for dinner and browsed for his band. Well, yesterday I get a call from one of the girls. She tells me that the goldsmith is behind schedule and she would like to reschedule for sometime next week. They keep going on about how there is plenty of time before my wedding to get things taken care of. EXCUSE ME! This now pushes us to FOUR WEEKS past the original date. We still need to buy Rob's ring and look in to engraving. It's a good thing I plan so far in advance or I would be seriously screwed. I still need my band in my hand to shop for Rob's. I completely went off on the girl about my dissatisfaction and how we would no longer consider purchasing Rob's band from them. I pointed out that she didn't really care since they already have my money. Whatever.
Moving on. Too many complaints!

Meal 2: Chicken/Turnip Greens/Yellow Squash
Meal 3: Kashi Cereal/Raspberries
Meal 4: Pure Protein Bar
Meal 5: Chicken/Greens/Squash/Boca Burger/Eng Muffin
I must send my thanks to Dr. Bowman, my dentist. I believe he is trying hard to assist in my weight loss. With all this work on my teeth...my jaw hurts after chewing. It definitely promotes drinking my meals and NOT overeating!
Workout: Cardio today. They had a cool new bike at Golds - I just had to try it out. Too bad I didn't have my biking shoes for it. You can select races and the level on a screen in front of you. It has pacers, stats, etc. I was sweating my ass off.
Wedding update:
Just a mild one. Got the bleaching trays from the dentist to lighten my teeth some. We shall see how that goes...

111 Days to go!
I seem to have lost a few days...
Summary:
Thursday - no gym, ate OK until dinner time where I worked late and had Potbelly's. I won't confess to WHAT I ate.
Friday - no gym and I kept the eating clean.
Saturday - no gym (see the pattern). Ran around with mom all day for wedding stuff. Ate clean until dinner (another pattern?) where I had one alcoholic beverage (yogurt smoothie with rum) and popcorn at the movies.
Sunday - no gym, clean eating and 3 hours of hiking. FINALLY a day to be proud of! Keep an eye on Flickr to see the photos of mom's dress and hiking pix.
Wedding Update:
I found a great place for alterations on my gown. We're going with the french bustle. (partial bustle below)
The same family will be making my mom's dress. We said screw the browns, I like this dress better.
The invitations are stuffed and sealed. I found a corset. The tuxedos are finalized. My shoes are finalized.

115 Days to go!
Total Free Day. The office is closed and Tony wanted to catch up for Independence Day Drinks....That turned in to a total pub crawl! Had a blast but the intake of food/drink was horrible.
Meal 1: Eggs/Eng Muffin/Veggies/Coffee
Meal 2: Hummus/Baba Ghanouj/Levatine Bread
Meal 3: Cheese Pizza (one small slice, it was nasty)
Meal 4: Chili Cheese Fries
In the mix were a few drinks:
Blue moon at Mackey's
Martini at Levante's
Mojito at Thaiphoon
Blue Moon at Adams Mill
Yuingling at Millie and Al's
Bacardi and Diet at Nolan's
Sangria at some mexican restuarant in Dupont Circle
Water at The Big Hunt
In case any of you are worried, I didn't actually drink most of that. I ordered to toast, had a sip or two and then let the boys finish it - I had to drive.
Check out flikr for the entire photo documentary...

In the mix were a few drinks:
Blue moon at Mackey's
Martini at Levante's
Mojito at Thaiphoon
Blue Moon at Adams Mill
Yuingling at Millie and Al's
Bacardi and Diet at Nolan's
Sangria at some mexican restuarant in Dupont Circle
Water at The Big Hunt
In case any of you are worried, I didn't actually drink most of that. I ordered to toast, had a sip or two and then let the boys finish it - I had to drive.

116 Days to Go
Meal 1: Grilled Chicken and Salad
Meal 2: Protein Shake
Meal 3: Chicken/Salad/Coldstone Creamery Cake/4 beers
My first treat in 7 days. It may not seem very long to you but for me it is a milestone!!! Of course, I was low on calorie intake today anyway. Had meetings in the morning and didn't end up eating anything until 11:00am. Then had the dentist appointment so couldn't chew food for a while. Maybe I break even? Either way, I'm hoping to the gym back in the mix here soon.

NOW I REMEMBER
I was counting the days for the 30 day fat loss TT program. Well that doesn't work very well if you don't do the workouts. Shall we try again. Maybe next week. This is a crazy holiday week. Doctor appt today, dentist appt tomorrow - followed by family in town, Holiday on Wed etc etc etc. I know, if I would get my ass up in the morning and go BEFORE work, it wouldn't be a problem. At least I'm eating right. That's the first step. Saturday I'm supposed to do that corset shopping so maybe that will kick it in to high gear.
Meal 1: Eggwhites/Eng Muffin
Meal 2: Turkey Wrap/Salad
Meal 3: Grilled Chicken Wrap/SF Pudding with Whey
Meal 4: Protein Shake
Nothing else going on. No wedding updates for today

Day ? (Jun 30-Jul 2) 117 Days to go
I realize the Daily Count is pointless, I don't know why I started it or what it is ultimately for... let's keep just the Wedding Countdown.
117 days to fit in to my wedding dress! LOL
Saturday (driving to PA for the night)
Meal 1: Eggs/Eng Muffin/Hummus/Coffee
Meal 2: Balance Bar
Meal 3: Salad/Turkey/Feta/Tomato
Meal 4: Shrimp/Wild Rice/Peppers/Onions/Coffee
Sunday (driving to NJ for the funeral)
Meal 1: Balance Bar
Meal 2: Harvest Bar
Meal 3: Nutrigrain Granola Bar/Peanuts/Propell Water
Meal 4: Grilled Chicken/Hummus
Meal 5: Chicken/Rice/Squash/Onions
I know I was very low on calories, low on protein and high on carbs, but at least I avoided the alcohol, breads and sweets during a very hectic and stressful weekend. It's good to be home. I may allow a slice of Coldstone Creamery Birthday Cake on Tuesday for Rob's brother's birthday...maybe.
