It’s the first day of a new year at school. Thankfully I
have no classes (I got less than 4 hours of sleep last night). Besides the
start of the school year, Matt and I are also kick starting our M&D Wedding
Challenge, whatever that means! We wanted to jump back into regular exercise
and home cooking again after we got back from vacation, but we ended up getting
sick for seriously 3 weeks. Excuses aside, we’re ready to roll. Matt won’t be
exercising for the first few days due to recent LASEK (laser eye surgery), but
we’ve got a nice healthy menu planned and our pantry is stocked!
I will be starting Turbo Fire again on a strict schedule. I
have almost 5 months to go before the big day, and conveniently the program
lasts 20 weeks which will put me about a month out from the wedding. Then I can
hopefully concentrate on toning up.
Last time that I did Turbo Fire on a schedule I lost 8
pounds in 4 weeks and significant inches from my waist. Then I took off for vacation to Malaysia, so
I obviously got off the exercise wagon. I am really excited to start again on
the scheduled calendar instead of a few workouts here and there.
Those who know me well know that I work best under pressure.
While I ended up with pretty decent grades in college, I procrastinated until
the very last second. I don’t like sleepless nights either, so I would start
studying the night before an assignment around 7PM and finish around midnight. It
worked well for me!
I also wait until the night before to pack before a trip. It
doesn’t matter if it’s a weekend trip away or a 4 week trip home.
So now I am almost 5 months out from my wedding and can no
longer put off the big push to diet and exercise. While we don’t eat a lot of
terrible food, the focus will be to eat at home during the week and try to fill
our plates with the right proportion of food (the new Food Pyramid if you
will).
Wish us luck as we embark on 5 intense months of planning,
healthy eating, exercise, and meditation. It’s going to be crazy from here on
out!
By the way, I can’t believe I started this blog with 15
months to go.
