And the Wedding "Way of Life" Starts... Tomorrow

We've all said it: "My diet starts tomorrow."

Fast forward three months, and you're still waiting for "tomorrow" to come. Well, like it or not, my three months are up. My tomorrow DOES start tomorrow... anyone willing to help? I've always read that two poeple are better than one, and three people are better than two. I need a wedding diet buddy (or ten)!

My first plan of action: stop thinking of "diet" as having a negetive connotation. I once heard that what you eat every day is a diet, regardless if it consists of veggies and baked chicken or KFC cole slaw and fried chicken (yum!). So, for all intensive purposes, I will be referring to my wedding "diet" as my wedding "way of life" henceforth.

Second plan of action: getting my butt back to the gym! 5am wake-up call, anyone? While I'm not looking forward to this (come on, who would?!), I know it's the only way I'll work out. By the time 4:30pm rolls around, not only am I d-u-n done, I'm ready to unwind -- with a little bit of wedding planning!

Third, and final, plan of action: quit eating crappy food (my "last meal" today? The pulled pork sammich from 54th Street Grill -- amazing!). I've stocked up on veggies and eggs (yeahhh protein!), fruit for my dessert (I'm a sugar fiend, so this is going to be diff-i-cult), and lots of sugar free drink mix.

So now I just need someone to hold me accountable for all my plans of action. I'm willing to invest the time of "reporting" my habits to someone and give motivation to said person if another is willing to return the favor (or the loathing, as it were). Anyone want to be my "way of life" buddy?

Wish me luck (and I'll do likewise)!

  1. First off, you don't need a wedding diet. You already look awesome. That said.........
    I'll be your diet buddy...duh! I should be good motivation! I know my wedding is over but I vowed 8 months ago that I would look and feel my best on my wedding day and I did! I know it sucks to turn down scrumptious "forbidden" foods but believe me the end result is totally worth it!!!

    Love ya,
