I'M ENGAGED!!!

I am on cloud NINE you guys. I had the trip of a lifetime, I am SO happy!!

Of course I had written I was going to Disneyland, I was SO excited!

Well (as you can see) I was totally shocked when, on the log ride, Jeff PROPOSED to me!! IT was like a dream

Immediately after returning from our trip, we booked our venue (because we want the shortest engagement possible) so my wedding date is October 25th 2014!!!

I have been busy with wedding planning and school, BUT I am making it a priority to start blogging again...because I still have some weight to lose!

It would be nice to lose 10 more lbs before we take our engagement pictures in February!

Right after we got engaged, my eating was OUT of control. But I'm back on track now and going to work harder than ever!

I packed my lunch today:

Small Parisian salad: (feta cheese, craisins, vinaigrette) Chicken with Hummus, Yogurt, Almonds and a piece of Dark Chocolate

I hope to eat well this whole week (except Halloween) and get some good quality workouts in!

I am SO excited ti document my "get wedding fit" journey!!

XOXO

Disney Bound!

I'm leaving for DISNEYLAND tomorrow night, and I am SO excited! 

Forget the fact that I somehow have to finish 6 homework assignments by tomorrow morning!

Forget the fact that I'll be in school for 7 hours straight before we leave!

FORGET the fact that I had to take the semester off work and am practically broke... I AM DISNEY BOUND!!!!

I will be squeezing in this quick little workout tonight when I tear myself away from my homework duties and suitcase packing!

What's your favorite ride at disney?

Hill Sprints!

Yesterday I got in an AWESOME workout of Hill Sprints and Kettlebell swings at the park by my house! 

So great to get in a workout that pushed me. 

Running? eww. 

HILLS? ewwww!

But together they gave me the lung burner I needed to start my week right!

My Goals for the Week!

My eating has NOT been up to par!! My boyfriends birthday was this past weekend, and we ATE!

I'm hoping to slim down (aka lose the bloat) before Disney this weekend!

 I have not been getting enough sleep with all of this crazy homework! Hoping to committ to staying on a schedule and getting in those precious hours!

YIKES! My wod average has been twice a week! NOT good! Hoping to workout 3 times before I leave for California Thursday Night!

Have a fabulous Monday!

Getting Back on my Healthy Grind!

Had a great quick workout last night doing Squats, Presses, Pull Ups and a Stair Climber workout!

My strength has definitely begun to diminish now that I am not on a regular lifting schedule!

My Max of 145 has dropped down to 125!

I plan to up the amount of lifting I do in a week to get my strength back up!

My Lunch Yesterday & Today:

 Ham and cheese rolls (there were 4) 1/2 an Avocado, Fresh cut peach, Carrot sticks, almonds and a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Baked Ham, Oriental Salad, 1/2 a Peach, Raisins/Almonds & a piece of Dark Chocolate!

I'm seriously obsessed with this lunch box. The compartments force me to pack a variety of yummy foods and get excited about my preparing my meals (which helps me pack them clean-ish). 

I miss buying my own groceries and having 100% CLEAN foods available at all times, but I'm making due with what I have in the house and that will have to work!\

I weighed myself the other day (after some terrible eating) and I weighed around 141lbs. 

So I haven't gained THAT much weight (2-3 lbs) from my bad eating a exercise regime in the month of September, BUT I swear when I look in the mirror it looks like I've gained 15 lbs!! I can't wait for this bloating to go down!

Has this ever happened to you when you went off the healthy train? What do you guys do to detox and get back into your healthy routines??

Usually I would juice, but I'm currently not in the position to be buying groceries, or use the gas to drive to the market that sells cheap produce ten miles from me. OH WELL!

(OLD picture taken over summer)

I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO THIS POINT IN MY LIFE WHERE I LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE WORKING OUT AND THINK "DANG, I'M SKINNY! I SHOULD TAKE AN AWKWARD SELFIE SO EVERYONE CAN SEE HOW DIRTY MY MIRROR IS!"

I plan to start my day tomorrow with a quick workout and some yoga. Hopefully I will even be able to take a bike ride in between homework sessions!!!
