So most married people can remember the feelings they had on their wedding day; the nerves, doubts, worries, and uncertainty... and above all else, excitement. Those who haven't yet had the joy of 'tying the knot' have probably heard of the feeling one usually experiences on their wedding day and can sort of understand.
I suppose I should probably stop here and clarify - no I didn't get married nor am I engaged. However I went to a wedding today. It was BEAUTIFUL and very sweet. The thing is before leaving for the wedding... I experienced all those feelings mentioned above... and it wasn't because I was getting married... It was because of the food.
The nerves and doubt - "Will I be able to show self-restraint and keep from eating the dishes that I know are high in calories?"
"Will I be strong enough to make healthy options when 'yummy' (a.k.a FATTY) foods are put in front of me?"
"Will I make excuses (e.g. it's just for one day; It's a wedding so it's okay to eat junk...)?..."
The worries and uncertainty - HOW will I know what is high in calories? WILL there be healthy options available?
.......and above all else excitement... it was a WEDDING after all! :-)
The end of the day has arrived and as I write to you now I am very happy with myself.
*smug grin* ;-)
I made the healthiest choices I could (little sandwiches made from wholemeal bread with egg, grapes and a few white bread sandwiches [which were still healthier then the party pies!]); I stayed clear of cakes (even though the wedding cake looked so yummy); and when the dancing started I worked up a sweat! ;-)
This morning, knowing I was headed to the wedding I had my herbalife shake for breakfast which filled me up and was an amazingly healthy start to my day. Tonight I am planning on another herbalife shake (a healthy and yummy dinner option) and some deep sleep (all that dancing has made me exhausted!)
They do say "2 Shakes a day keeps the doctor away"!!
Love you all for supporting me in this journey and also taking to time to read this blog.
Till next time.
