Okay, you know that song "Final Countdown?" Imagine that but replace the word "Final" with "Bridal." Oh, yeah, now we're on the same page!
Well, there's nothing like feeling stressed and pressed to get you back on the right track.
It was a long, brutal winter here on Delmarva and I can honestly say that I was a couch potato. I didn't do too badly with eating, but I didn't move my bod much off the couch. I did have a good excuse, however, as I was wildly penning (typing?) my new novel Fat Girl (http://www.amazon.com/Fat-Girl-K-L-Montgomery-ebook/dp/B00UUMA1MK/ if you want to check it out.) It's sort of hard to write a novel when you're running about. You kinda have to stay put.
I know, I know, that's just an excuse. But if there's one thing I'm super awesome at, it's rationalization!
So I looked at the calendar last week and realized there are less than FOUR MONTHS until my big day! How in the world did that happen? It seems like just yesterday that I got engaged. Plans are coming together, and I even have my dress.
The problem? Well, as I mentioned in my last post, I am a fat vegan. And I'm an even fatter vegan after this winter. Obviously four months isn't a ton of time for transformation, but it's enough to drop a few pounds and tone up. And that is what I'm intending to do.
Being vegan and losing weight should go hand in hand, IF you do it right. My main problem is avoiding all the tasty vegan junk food out there. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf (pun intended) and eat mostly fresh, raw whole foods. So, fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch and typically pasta or rice with veggies for dinner. I'm only on day 4, but I'm feeling awesome!
Why do we eat junky, processed food with wild abandon when eating great food makes us feel so much better? I don't know, but it's certainly an enigma for me!
And, I'm back in the gym doing cardio, strength training, yoga and hoping to start swimming laps again too. October 3rd will be here before I know it. I hope to share some before and after pictures with you soon.
