Welcome to slackerville.

I have a little over eight months until my wedding. I have completed absolutely NOTHING.

Oh wait!! I take that back I’ve completed one thing. I bought a dress four months ago, a dress that is currently two sizes to big for me and strapless.

Why did I buy a dress to big for me?

Because I wanted to have room to grow into it if I got bigger. Because I’ve seen to many wedding shows where the bride had one too many cake samples and then not fit into the dress.

Trust me I like cake…I would totally be that bride.

This thinking…’more is better than less’ is the reason I’m in this mess in the first place. I’ve even caught myself thinking ‘I would rather be stuffed full now than hungry later.’

I think the saddest part of it all is that I purposely got the dress that was too big, because I truly did believe that I would need the extra space.

I’m still trying to break that cycle of thinking. It’s hard though. I keep mentally chanting a mantra in my head.

‘I’m going to need to have that dress taken in, and I’m going to look hot in it.’

After all not only am I learning to cook better food but I’m also trying to re-learn portion sizes. In a world full of super-size and whata-size you would be surprised at how much a portion really is.

Trying to cook at home so far has been well, not so successful. I’ve cooked two meals so far in the New Year. The other days we’ve been gorging ourselves on fried chicken strips, gravy, fried okra, French fries, fried Calamari, and the list goes on and on.

Last night I finally made the fajita’s I was supposed to make Sunday night. We finally got a chance to use the fajita skillet we got for Christmas! I’ve never really cooked chicken on the stovetop I’ve always just stuck it in the oven so this was a change for me, the fajita's turned out surprisingly good!

Here's an up close picture! It only took one of these puppies to fill me up and it was delicious!

Tonight’s dish: Whole wheat spaghetti w/ground turkey
