I'm back, sorry for the lonnnng vacation!

So, I'm a bad blogger.  This is my trend, get very excited about a big endeavor, do very well for about 2 months, then go back to my lazy habits.  It's a bad habit that is 31 years in the making. 

Since last October when I last blogged, Joe and I found our dream jobs, our dream home, and we got engaged! Whew! It's been a whirlwind.  If you think that gives me an excuse to slack off my little blogging adventure, you are sorely mistaken, as all of these developments have happened since Feb 1!

However, now that I have to start shopping for a white dress, the idea of which terrifies me, its time to step it back up again.  (I say this as I am eating a bagel with cinnamon sugar cream cheese....) Yeah... Over the next week, however, I will be in packing Mach 5.  Every evening will entail me going through every nook and cranny of our house and carefully packing everything for the 2.5 hour drive to Independence, KS.  I am thinking this should count as cardio, however, I think I will work on throwing in some lunges into the mix to help with that. 

We move on May 5, which is a little over 2 weeks from now, and I have 5 boxes packed.  Not so good of me eh?  So, tonight I will make a salad with some grilled chicken on it, with strawberries, sunflower seeds, and feta cheese.  For lunch, a progresso soup and a yogurt.  My weight, I am actually not certain of, because Joe took the scale to Independence with him, but I'd say I'm up about 5 pounds since the last time I logged. Which makes me very sad.  But what do you expect when you serve fried chicken, homemade mac and cheese and mashed potatoes for your engagement party!? 

I have one last serious motivation that constantly will remind me this time, and thats my ring.  See, as a fat girl, I now have fat fingers.  My beautiful ring is now squeezing my finger a tiny bit so that I have a bit of ring cleavage.  It obviously gets better the more water I drink, so that is goal #1.  Water.  Lots and lots of water.  So, for this weeks goal with all the craziness, my goal is as follows:

1.  Drink 8, 8oz  glasses of water per day MINIMUM.
2. LUNGES - Lots and lots of lunges.  At least 40 per day. 
3. Push ups - 40 per day. 

I think that's a reasonable goal, right?  Oh, and no sugar.  Sorry bagel, but you will be my last.
