gotta be creative

i'm saving for a wedding. you're all aware of that. maybe others are more sure that a wedding is coming in my near future than i am? because i'm definitely not acting like it, with the stuff i'm eating. staying within my calorie goals, i'm just eating junk. friday afternoon i did buy fresh berries. they were all cheap, because they're in season. cherries, blueberries, and strawberries. nom nom.


i had to cancel my gym membership at work. well, i didn't really HAVE to, but i chose to. when we move to the apartment complex, there's a gym open 24 hours there. i'll visit it all the time for free. but for now, that $40 i'm spending on the gym at work can be converted into things like, oh, healthy food (why is healthy food so much more expensive than junk...)? wedding items? you know. plus, i DO have the Wii Active-- just need to use it more often. and i haven't found any good counts on how many calories you use by packing, but when i'm packing heavy things, i do work up a sweat! it's a lot of lifting and bending. probably not the greatest for my joints, but great for toning muscle-- at least that's what i tell myself.

so, until the move, i'll get my exercise by the approximately 45 minutes of walking i get (spread out throughout the day) by catching public transportation and going between campuses at work, using my Wii in the evenings, and packing as needed. i REALLY need to keep my weight in check between now and the wedding!

PS i'm back under 200! as of this morning, 198.2 to be exact. it's not a great step, but it's better than being up.
