Enjoying the Moment

Though I’m obviously very future focused with the wedding and all I’m still trying to live in the moment.

This weekend was great and I definitely enjoyed it!

There were protein pancakes with maple almond butter.

There was a graduation party cookout. Food prep was fun to watch/listen to.

There was a lot of catching up with friends.

There were lots of laughs and lots of joy.

Though I was enjoying the moment I couldn’t help but think about our wedding and how enjoyable it will be. It’s always so nice to get lots of friends together. I am very excited for all that is to come even though I’m enjoying everything that is happening now.

I’m not posting the goals this week because honestly, I didn’t do that great with them. I did still workout 3 times. And I did drink a ton of water every day. But I ate out waaay too many times this past week and I didn’t do enough cardio. I’ve been doing great with strength training but I need to step it up on the cardio front.

However, I am apparently looking good. I’m not the only one who notices either. At a party I went to this weekend my best friend’s mom asked if I had lost weight. I didn’t know what to say since I haven’t lost weight since I last saw her so I just said thanks. Several people complimented me on looking good so that made my night. I’m not the only one noticing changes in my body. Obviously things are going well even if this week was a middle of the road kind of week.

Hope you all had an amazing, healthy weekend!

    Where do you buy this maple almond butter? It looks heavenly!

    It’s so awesome to get compliments on your new shape. I haven’t lost much weight this past month, but I’ve lost almost 8 inches. Do you keep track of your measurements as well?

    • Mary says

      June 27, 2011 at 4:29 pm

      I do, but haven’t done them in a while. I lost my measuring tape haha.

      My boss said she bought it at Target!

    Maybe you could track inches lost because sometimes you lose inches without losing weight on the scale. Keep up the great work on your journey with health both mentally and physically!! Also, sometimes blogs are one of the few places feel safe to share their true feelings, so I hate that you feel you don’t have that freedom since some have said you complain too much. But I digress, still loving your blog!

      Thanks Charlotte! I do track inches but it’s been a while since I did it because I lost my tape measure.

    Wow! You do look great. True enough, we may compromise at times but the important thing is, you don’t quit . It does not matter if you stop the bicycle in the middle of the woods for a few minutes as long as you get to where your destination is. I’m excited for you. When the big day comes I’m sure your wedding gown will look more fabulous on you than you can ever imagine.
