I CAN do this!

I can do this, I know I can. I started my week out strong even though I got home late and wasn't able to cook a "good" dinner. I don't think I have mentioned that I have been following Core for a few weeks now. I am and I love it. I hate counting and I hate measuring so it seemed like an easy choice. The first week was tuff, I found myself spending more time preparing a second meal for lunch. I found an easy solution that works for us though, I cook 4-5 servings at dinner time and bring leftovers (and send some with Derek). It seems to work out most of the time and when it doesn't I find myself making a big salad or steaming some chicken quick. The biggest downfall for me...$money$...I am going to the store twice a week for fresh veggies and fruit. I love having them, but if it is this expensive in the summer I can't imagine my bills this winter.
For now I am sticking with it, my body feels great, I am happy with the choices I have and tracking seems like much less work.
The work-out front is going really good. I am spending more time walking outside and only spending 2-3 nights in the gym. When you live in MN you need to get out and enjoy what sun you get! I have also been wearing a pedometer to work, I sit for most of my day but it motivates me to get up and get some steps in (I don't track these, just do it for the heck of it).
The wedding is 5 months away! I have a lot on my plate there, I can't put into words how stressed out I feel from trying to plan everything there. I will spend a week up North with my sister and Rosie and I am hoping that I have time to get a bit more organized.
