Day 4…No Meat

Four days ago, I decided to go on a no meat diet for 30days; my goal is to lose 15lbs by July 1st. Not eating meat for the first 30days is not a method to necessarily lose weight but to give my organs a rest from the process of digesting meat.

Hopefully, I will be able to sustain for the next few weeks so I can kick off my weight loss goal. After the first 30 days, I hope it will be easier for me to make healthier eating choices. Day 4 so far is going well, I haven’t craved a piece of chicken, yet and I don’t feel as if I am missing something, not sure I can say the same next week but we’ll see.  Wish me luck!!

You got me Crew!

So I fell in love with this simple and oh so gorgeous dress from J. Crew. Yes, J. Crew! It has no lace, no beads and not overly done with embellishments, just my kind.  To top it off it’s at a reasonable price, which triples the points in my book.  It was the first wedding gown that I could actually see myself in. Next call of duty was to search for a (wedding) store locally, to my surprise, nothing came up within a 50 miles radius….NOTHING!!! Why??

I fell in love with the dress but couldn’t commit, in other words, loved it but not going to risk ordering without trying it on. The thought of purchasing the dress and the gown not looking the way I envisioned on, was a dreadful thought on its own. In the end I decided to lay my first dress love affair to rest.

Engagement Bliss

First comes a ring, then….
Some women dream of their wedding day since they were little girls, some delve in the idea the day they know he’s the one, some dream about it or have an idea of what they want but are just waiting for Mr. Right. I on the other hand didn’t think much of it until after I had a ring on my finger.  After all the excitement and the wonderful compliments, (well, in my case, the majority of my compliments were “it’s about time”); what happens next?
With a ring on my finger I was at a total lost but enjoyed the idea of getting married. Which means the world of weddings had taken me by surprise. There are no guidelines as to what to do first; I was excited and at a lost.  All I knew was that from that point on, everything would start changing, life wouldn’t be the same. So what did I do first?…NOTHING!! I took a three-month break to enjoy being engaged. I mean why not? It only gets hectic till the day of the wedding so why not enjoy those very few months where I can say, “I’m engaged”.
So I was living those months of what I call “engagement bliss”. I have no regrets taking that path because since I am currently in the planning phase, no day seems to be an ordinary day anymore!
