Dinner:  Had some people over for the Green Bay Packer Game (was an amazing game), so I just grazed while everyone else had other snacks.  I ate mixed nuts, berries, leftover sweet potatoes, leftover plantain chips with avocado

End of Day- How am I feeling?:  I was very tempted by some Beer Cheese dip my friend brought over, but I kept hydrated and snacked on healthy alternatives and I was just fine.  I may have overdid it on the food today just to keep my mind off of the other food though :/

Exercise/Stretch:  If you count trying on wedding gowns all morning and afternoon as exercise, then I did some today! 😉

End of Day- How am I feeling?:  We went wedding dress shopping today so my morning meals were on the go.  We had a late lunch after I found my wedding dress (YAY)!! It was a long, exhausting, but great day!

I have to admit…I CHEATED today… I told myself if I found a wedding dress that I wouldn’t turn down the champagne toast!  I had a sip of champagne to celebrate saying yes to the dress, but then gave the rest to my bridesmaids.

End of Week 3 Recap:

I am getting sick of cooking so much, but it definitely helped that I prepped a lot more this week. Every other day I have been drinking my Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides with hot water and lemon juice, and it’s been helping my skin so much, along with eating well! It’s definitely worth trying! Again this week, I had a goal of working out more, but I didn’t do it too much, so I’m carrying over that goal over to week 4.  I still feel great and love that I don’t feel way too full all of the time like before the diet, and also don’t feel bloated ever!  Bring on week 4!
