One More Month!

In (almost) exactly one month I will be walking down a California beach with my amazing man, sweet sister and her hilarious husband!! I am so excited!

I've lost several pounds since my lost entry (YAY!!!!), but this whole "I'm going to look super good in a bathing suit in just a few months" has been a lot more challenging than I had originally thought it would be. I wan't losing the weight as fast as I thought I would, which made me depressed, which in turn reduced the number of times I was working out each week.

However, because I have the worlds most supportive husband, he went out and got me a treadmill. But because I was depressed, I didn't use it every day like I wanted. I just can't seem to workout on my own-I either need to do it with someone else or I need to follow someone off of a DVD. Yes, this shames me and I might despise myself a bit for it, but it's a fact of life. I ended up ordering Julian Michael's Ripped in 30 and all I can say is wow. I haven't been that sore from a workout since I was living in Logan. Anyways, I think I found exactly what I needed to help me reach my goal by the end of the month!

The other reason why the weight loss is taking longer than expected is due to the fact that I still do not have a kitchen. Which means that we've been eating out or have been at the mercies of our family and friends to feed us. I know how shocking this might sound, but I am SO SICK of eating french fries! I want to actually cook dinner and not eat out. I've been getting a wheat bagel for breakfast and one of those Naked drinks, which has seemed to help with the whole not getting fat idea. Salads for lunch, which has been interesting. 

Because my husband is innovative and much smarter than I am, he's slowly been setting up a mini kitchen in the basement for us. We have our toaster oven and a skillet, along with several bowls and some plastic forks. We've enjoyed some pizza and grilled chicken, along with pepperoni slices with cheese. Such is the life when you're remodeling your entire upstairs and the painters come once every few weeks. 

Hopefully I'll have full access to a kitchen within the week, and I can make some of the healthy meals I've found on pinterest and use my new stove. I'm still on the lookout for any new recipes that are delicious as well. If you have any, please send them my way!

Until next time,

Britt
