Dreamy Invites

I waited patiently for these invites, but you may have heard differently if you asked Tommy.  

I love love love our wedding invites.  So much that I had a hard time sending them out :-)

91 Days!

Week 3

Day 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20: Tiger Blood

I feel amazing.  I can completely feel the difference.  I find it to be easy and a no brainer to make meals.  I am starting to plan what life looks like after Day 30.   I am determined to make this a lifestyle.

Day 21: I am so over this

My clothes fit better, my skin is great, and I am more than proud of myself.

Oh wait then food boredom sets in and I am so glad to be in the single digit countdown.

Up Up and Away

We had the honor of being asked to join in on a styled shoot for a group of wonderful companies.

I loved every moment, hair, make-up, outfits, and don't forget food and beer for Tommy.  We got a few more fabulous pictures to add to the engaged file.  You really can never get enough.

Week 2

Day 8 and 9: For the love of GOSLING, my pants are tighter.

I do remember thinking that my clothes actually fit tighter during this week.  I was still extremely tired.  Falling asleep on the couch, watching Say Yes to the Dress.

I guess that could've happened any old Friday :-)

Day 10 and 11: The Hardest Days

Not too sure if I match the timeline.  These two days, Tommy and I made some really yummy dinners.  I do remember having to turn down free booze, that was a dagger to my heart.

Day 12, 13, 14 and 15: Boundless Energy! Now give me a damn twinkie!

I am not to sure on the energy but my body is definitely trying to drive me back to the comfort food I love.  I dream about eating non whole30 compliant food.  I have also identified that I have done more dishes and cooked in the last two weeks, than I probably have in the 28 years I've been alive.

Off to week 3... I can't believe I made it this far!

It will never get old...

even if it hasn't even officially started :-)

Week 1

The Whole30 community has created a timeline for the 30 days.  I planned to compare and contrast to see if I felt the same way.  Since life is busy and I couldn't do this in the moment, I am using my food diary to compare after the fact.  Pretty interesting to do...

Day 1: What's the big deal? 

After Day 1, I definitely matched the timeline.  This seems to be manageable, just might take a little more planning than I am use too.

Day 2 and 3: The Hangover

During these two days, I craved sugar.  I had to retrain my brain not to think about sweets.  That should've be simple enough right? Being a behavior analyst and all :-) hahaha

Day 4 and 5: Kill ALL things

All I can say is poor Tommy, for having to deal with me during these days, hell though the whole thing.  Nothing seems to go my way.  We may or may not have had an in depth discussion about having better communication Day 5.  I blame the food challenge :-) Better communication on my part might have been, "hey I am miserable leave me alone".

Love you babe.

Day 6 and 7: I want a nap

Today my food diary read, "I am so tired".  I guess we are right on track

Let's see what week two has in store

Let them eat cake

Wedding planning is going smoothy.  Who wouldn't love picking out all the things you love, with the person you love, for the people you love to enjoy :-)

Right before Christmas we were focused on cake.  Cake was on the top of our priority list, right next to Christmas shopping of course.  Wedding planning had been pretty easy so far, so who wouldn't be looking forward to eating sweets?  We all know Snackie was, and for those of you that don't know Tommy doesn't really like sweets :-).  Regardless he seemed to be enjoying himself during both tastings.

We tried out two spots, just to look at our options, but there was always something that lead us back to the daughter and mom company, Ruze Cake House.  They were so nice, friendly, and were always listening to me change my mind 600 times.  Also they were creative and seemed to fit our style perfectly, so we finally sealed the deal.

Here is just some of their artwork.  Who would have guess that after 10 cupcakes, and a handful of desserts we could finally make our decision.  I wouldn't have guessed that the cake would be the hardest decision thus far, but we had to do our research ;-)

Check, on to the next big decision
