Post Bride Diet

Here's how my day has gone so far today:

Wake up, shower, get dressed, eat a big ol' bowl of Cheerios with some strawberries

Drive into work with Mark. Arrive an hour early, so swing by the McD's drive thru for a large Diet Dr. Pepper

Get to work. Someone brought bagels. Eat 1/2 plain bagel and 1/2 chocolate chip bagel.

Around 9ish, stroll into the break room. Oh what's this? Chocolate chip cookies? Don't mind if I do. Eat one.

11ish, grab a 100 calorie bag of shortbread cookies. It's only 100 calories, right? Hmm. I might grab this bag of Chex Mix too. And what the heck, another Diet DP as well.

Noon. There's lunch provided during that training meeting? Awesome. Get a scoop each of pasta salad, potato salad and cole slaw. Grab a bag of chips and one mini brownie.

OMG. This potato salad is fab. Add another scoop to my plate.

Head back to the food.. more potato and pasta salad. Have another Diet Coke while I'm at it.

True story. This day is only half way over too. Who knows what else I'll stuff my face with? One thing that past two weeks has not included is any trips to the gym, strolls with the dog or even long walks to the car (parking in a garage that is attached to your house officially ROCKS).

I'm not really looking forward to trying on my jeans in a couple months. Eh.

The Real World

I can't believe the wedding is over. In the past. No longer looming in front of me, x days away. In fact, it was 12 days ago. How did that happen?? I'm back at work now, and want to write up some updates on how things went. So that's in the works.

In the meantime, here are some of the amazing portraits Mary Beth took of me during the week before the wedding. We took these on July 4, at the spot where Mark proposed in McKinney. I had had a pretty rough morning, as my mom was in her The-Wedding-Is-One-Week-Away-So-Let's-Freak-Out mode, but we sucked it up, put on some make-up and went trekking around the golf course and surrounding areas. I think the came out perfectly.
