Today was the rehearsal followed by the rehearsal dinner/all-day event thing. Thankfully the location for the ceremony will be in the shade along a nearby river to keep things cool! And the after-rehearsal event was so much fun. We headed over to a local park on a river. We played softball, went swimming and ate some good grub!
Food: two scrambled eggs w/a light strawberry yogurt and a strawberry all-fruit Popsicle; scrambled eggs w/a little shredded cheddar cheese in a flour tortilla; lots of veggies, a handful of chips + mango salsa and dip; vegetarian taco salad and enchiladas, and mixed fruit; followed all that with a slice of apple pie w/whipped cream; came home and had another all-fruit strawberry Popsicle. Plus I had a few cups of lemonade and a virgin pina colada.
Calories: WAY OVER- but don't know how many, same with protein count too
Water: Definitely not-enough
Exercise: playing an intense game of softball and swimming in a freezing cold river (I was the only girl in the party swimming. How sad.)
Yesterday I was at work and didn't keep track. I know I went over then too, so two days in a row is bound to have some damage done. Hopefully it won't be too bad. :) Sadly while playing softball today I palmed the ball while being catcher and jacked up my thumb. :( Not happy about it. I also got hit in my shin too. Gonna have a pretty bruise there. LOL!
Also the Boyfriend called me this morning- a good way to wake up if I may say so. ;) Guess what? He's taking me to see Toby Keith's concert that's coming up!!!! Super excited about it!!!

Laila: Finally.
Finally an end to my hellish week. I am an eternal optimist and like to look on the bright side of things, but for me this past week was just horrible.
Nothing good came out of these past few days.
Perhaps I'm overstating it, but I have never been so stressed / on the run in my entire life.
And it's OVER!!! Well for the weekend atleast. Let's hope things start looking up or else my memories of my last five weeks in Vancouver won't be happy ones.
I haven't been able to have a moment to myself this week, do anything that felt like exercise which in turn affected my food choices. I'll just say this: I did bad. Hopefully things will get better. Or I will start to pull all of my hair out.
Food: 1 protein bar, 1 pbj sandwich, 1 cup yogurt, 1 package 100-calorie cheese-its, 1 chocolate chip cookie (notice that the number is not higher....I am gaining SOME self-control), 1 granola bar.
Water: Not enough
Vitamin: forgot
Exercise: of course not
Calories: 1350

For my brother's wedding to be over! I love them both, it's just this wedding has been so stressful for everyone. Shoes finally arrived today!!! They were supposed to come around 3 pm but decided to arrive around 9 pm. Grrr. Well shoes and dress are here at least. :)

Laila: arghhhh!
So today is over.
It seems as the days go on, I keep asking myself the questions "REALLY??"
This schedule I'm on is officially kicking my butt. All I want is rest. But no.
ARGGGG.
I am in no way proud of my eating today.
I ended up being at work much longer than expected, with only an hour brake. So I headed to Wendy's (the closest food place around) and got a burger and fries. I had planned on working out later in the evening, but my friend invited me to her birthday dinner at the Olive Garden. How I miss the gym!!!! ( I realllllly do! Haven't been in WEEKS). So I went there and then on a couple arrends before cfomming home and finishing up some stuff for work tomorrow.
Food:
1 protein bar, 1 burger + small fry and diet soda from Wendys, 1 plate of 5-cheese ziti from the Olive Garden (plus 2 breadsticks).
Calories: off the charts I'm sure
Exercise: None. Again. I will go stir crazy if I can't get any soon....
Water: NOt nearly enough
Vitamin: yup

Laila: Needing a Change of Scenery....
Another day another dollar. With my schedule now, the weekdays are blending all together, kind of frustrating. But more housesitting this weekend! Yay!
I FINALLY got a chance to get in the pool today (to swim, not to teach lessons). It's been...oh atleast 3 weeks-ish since I've been. It sure felt good. I'm gearing up for a big meet the first weekend in August- going to try to tackle the 1650 again (66 lengths of the pool). So we'll see how that goes.
Food: 1 protein bar before work, a sandwich (BLT), 2 cups yogurt, I'd say about 4 cups of blueberries / strawberries / watermelon (not all at once, but spread out thru the day), 1 string cheese, 2 granola bars, 1 100-calorie ice cream bar.
Calories: 1590
Vitamin: Yes
Water: 6-ish glasses. I'm slackin
Exercise: 25 min swim. Not nearly enough, but it's better than nothing.

Claire: Well LA DE DA!
Bridesmaid dress is officially paid for, picked up and tried on! Even better? The dress doesn't need any alterations!!! When I first tried the sample on I think I liked it better. I don't like it so much now. Not as complementary as I previously believed, but oh well. But really cool thing is that I ordered the dress a size smaller and not only do I fit the dress, it's also a little big on me too! (I'm getting smaller!!!)

Calories: 1424
Protein: 76.5 g
Water: almost enough
Exercise: lots of walking around, lifting and picking up stuff at work.

I'm not sure how this has worked out, but every 4th of July since High School I've spent it working. Though there have been one or two when I was able to still make a few celebrations after my shifts ended, but alas not this time! But hey it's TIME and a HALF!!! Hope you had a good one!

I feel like such an @$$. My brother's fiance has asked me a while ago to be one of her bridesmaids. I said yes and ordered my dress. I just haven't tried it on since, nor have I picked it up yet. Plus I JUST now, literally, ordered my shoes because they're only to be found on-line. Did I mention I forgot her bachelorette party too?? YEAH I'm a horrible sister-in-law. I didn't mean to forget, I got caught up being with my brothers again I didn't realize that her party was the same night as the softball game. I feel horrible. She is so sweet and nice and I'm blowing this! Thankfully the shoes will be arriving like Wednesday. I'm getting the dress on Tuesday morning, and hopefully it won't need any alterations. I have no idea how I'm going to fix things with her though. I mean I'd be pretty pissed if some one did that stuff to me. Oh and the wedding is in a week, to the day. Between finanicing the dress and shoes and transportation, I should have politely said that I couldn't be a bridesmaid. What the hey was I thinking?!? Yes, I know, I'm pretty low. UGH. I'm so sorry. I really do care. Honest, I've been avoiding asking for help with getting the stuff because I want to do it myself, and tha hasn't been working out for me....
