This is where the rubber meets the road...and by road I mean my abdomen.

So, it is now 12 days until WF's wedding. Well, really 11 because it's after 10 pm. So we'll say 11, for this post's sake.

I'm not one to obsess over my weight. I ain't skinny, don't get me wrong, but I work out and eat right on a regular basis. Hm...okay I work out like 2-3 times a week and maybe need something sweet after lunch and dinner, BUT it's only like a little handful of chocolate chips, so get off me.

With that said, I got my bridesmaid's dress from the alterations shop (aka Kathleen, she is awesome and I love her and her off-the-wall stories) today and tried it on. Fits like a glove. (round of applause goes here). But, then I realized that I have arm fat. And if I pooch out my belly, I could totally freak people out by making them think that I'm in my second trimester.

SO!

I started "dieting" today. My dieting definition does not really equal most people's no-carb-or-die version, because let's be honest, I won't live forever and I sure ain't spending precious time not eating my chocolate chips. It more mimics a calorie-counting, healthy-living kind of way.

Where is this post going? I don't really know, I'm ranting, but my main point is that I'm gonna let y'all know what I eat for the next 11 days. Not, like, everyday because that's totally boring and I'm not creative enough to make it interesting with awesome recipes and such. But I figure it'll make me accountable in some strange fashion and that by this I can drop about 2-3 lbs. by the wedding date, which is a lot on me, and not completely irrational.

Here goes today:

Breakfast: Oats bar and coffee
Snack: Banana and raw almonds
Lunch: Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers meal and graham cracker with marshmallow cream
Supper: Egg whites with spinach and cheese on Flat-Outs flax bread, whole wheat saltine crackers, handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips

So how'd I do???

I say okay!!

Let me know your thoughts :)
