It's been a little while since my last post, and I really want to get back into the routine of writing more regularly!

Stress of the wedding has started to get to me.  I've been putting off some of the more intimidating wedding projects and by doing so it's made me procrastinate on basically everything in my life.

Luckily for me I have amazing friends who came over and helped make 140 s'more kits for wedding favors.  They look amazing and I am so excited for our guests to receive such a personalized gifty :).  We had a fun night full of laughter and conversation, and I cannot express how much I love my friends!!! 

The next day we hiked the ski hill and checked out the ceremony location that Cody and I chose.  It is truly magical up there on the mountain and I am hoping with all I've got for beautiful summer weather to celebrate our marriage day.

The mixture of wonderful friends and a great hike made me stop and think.  I've been really critical of myself over the past little while, kind of giving up hope on myself.  I'm frustrated by my lack of energy, resulting in no workouts and no food prep.  Though I'm still mostly making healthy choices, I've been giving in to some temptation and while temporarily satisfying, it's mostly really disappointing to eat something I know isn't good for me.  I reflected on what I've been eating lately and realized one of the reasons I'm having such negative progress is my lack of food intake!  Because of the no food prep I've been eating less and it has definitely impacted my prior gains.

So...  For my 4 day week I am going to focus on the following:
  • Food prep!!!  Have snacks and meals available.
  • Daily exercise, whatever is appealing.
  • Get more sleep!

In other news, my no tomato plan has been going well!  I have been able to avoid my two faves, ketchup and salsa, but every day I long for ketchup on my sweet potatoes.
