Sunday

This weekend has been so busy but it has been full of such awesome things that I would gladly be this busy all the time if it was like this!!!

Friday we went to the regatta which was amazing and then went to H & 8th which is the monthly food truck rally in OKC. We stayed there til midnight. Such a great night for OKC.

Saturday we went to the Plaza district festival. More food trucks, great local vendors and musicians. Seriously? Am I still in OKC? It doesn't feel like Oklahoma when all this great stuff happens all in one weekend.

Today I'm taking Melissa to Cheevers for lunch/brunch and then I'm taking Courtney to the slow food picnic at the Harn Homestead. It's her Birthday and there will be local farmers there and all the great local chefs preparing their food so it's like work/fun all wrapped in one.

Tonight I'm heading to the parents because we are interviewing students at OSU tomorrow. My lunch and dinner will bought by HT tomorrow so I may not be tracking. It's so hard and frustrating to do when you have no control. I'll try and limit fatty/horrible food though.

I am going to try and run tonight. I really want to run the Susan G. Komen 5k on October 15th. I ran 2 miles on the treadmill yesterday, then did 6 miles on the bike (30 minutes) and then did 30 minutes on the elliptical for 3 miles. It felt great. I was going to go to zumba but no one showed up which was a first. I feel like if I keep running for most days until the 15th then I should be ready for the 5k on the 15th. And even if I'm not I can still walk just a little then get right back to running.

I will start hardcore tracking again on Tuesday. I sort of let my food get away from me. This week has had such great eating from the food trucks which I feel is my duty to eat to Saints, the new irish pub, to Cheevers and Slow food today. It's so hard to pass that up. That's why I feel like if I exercise at least I'm somewhat balancing it out, haha. Probably not but it's making me feel less guilty.

Saturday

Sorry I haven't been very good this week at posting (or at eating right either).  This will change this week.

Last night James and I went to the fair, which was super fun.  We haven't been in forever.  We split a fried dessert (cookie dough--it was awesome) and have pledged to be back on track hard core at least until Thanksgiving.

Hopefully I can get motivated.  Motivation has been severely lacking lately.
Maybe going and getting groceries will help!

So sorry that you keep hitting speed-bumps with the truck.  Maybe you can find a bigger and better truck now!  It'll all work out like it is supposed to!  I still can't wait to try your food!!

Friday

Good morning!

Wow. What a crazy past couple of days. I've been through so many up's and down's the past 2 weeks and it's starting to catch up with me. I'm going to just try and chill this weekend and get everything reorganized and back on track.

Breakfast: Granola Bar

Lunch: Maybe subway. I have to change banks at lunch.

Dinner: Food truck party. They're having a whole round up of trucks and live music every Friday of the last month. Courtney works on Big Truck Taco's Truck so I"ll go and see her. I think we're also going to the regatta this weekend.

Activity: Really feel like running.

Wednesday the 28th

So bad news. The truck went to get inspected yesterday and my mechanic told me to NOT buy it. So we will not be buying it because it has so much wrong with it. This will not stop us. I still want us to have a booth at Homecoming and we'll still be doing markets and hopefully start getting some catering gigs. It just pushes our plan back a little but that's fine we will adapt. Yesterday was pretty rough though. It's hard waiting and doing all of this just to find out that the truck is not what was promised. At least I didn't buy a crap truck though.

I didn't eat super well yesterday. Went to lunch with Sarah and ate dinner with Betsy and Courtney which included drinks. Then went to Cuppies and then had one more drink at Big Truck because Betsy was still hungry so not that great. Back on track today!

Breakfast: Light Gluten free waffles w/honey

Lunch: Amy's spinach pizza

Dinner: Not sure yet. Maybe some grilled zucchini and light pasta w/tomato sauce.

Activity: Going to the gym

Tuesday that felt like Monday (that's a good thing, right?)

Mmmm, I love gross chocolate oatmeal!!  Haha, just kidding.  It sounds like things are going great!!

I read the blog and love it!  Added it to my favorites.  Maybe I can come to one of the events where the food truck will be!  Is the pic on the blog your actual truck???  So cool--all of it!  So glad you are making your dreams come true with all of this hard work and creativity!  It is truly inspiring.

Today I am just tired.  Not sure why because I didn't do much all day at work--just sat and observed.  Maybe that is why--I'm so used to running around that when things are boring I just get sleepy.

I will try to post a pic of my fall decor tomorrow when it is light out!

Monday the 26th

Breakfast: New gross chocolate oatmeal

Snack: Mixed Berry bar

Lunch: Amy's tomato soup w/saltines

Snack: Nutter Butters

Dinner: Amy's spinach pizza, 2 sugar free chocolates, new weird puffed chips

Activity: 1 hour on elliptical (5.5 miles, 650 calories) 20 minutes on treadmill (1.6 miles, 160 calories)

So glad you got a day off!!! By the way, my southern living has a bunch of stuff in it about Ashville in it so next time I see you don't let me forget to bring it. I may just have to be your body guard as you go there to interview. I could call it research for the food truck. They are all about embracing "local".

It's been a crazy past couple of days. Friday I got our sales tax permit, set up our bank accounts and put the deposit down on the truck. Tomorrow we should be hearing back about getting the auto inspection and then after that the truck is officially ours. Crazy! We tried out some recipes last night and it made me even more excited. We now need to get insurance all straightened out and get our cards and shirts printed and then onto advertising. Speaking of which I've started a blog so I'll stop writing all this stuff on here and will just get back to health stuff on here and you can read or not read (I know this stuff starts to get boring to people) all of the truck happenings over on skookumokcblogspot.com.

The weight loss is still going well. I've realized that if I can do a good 4-5 days a week working out for at least an hour and I can keep the eating somewhat controlled then I feel really good. I'm still trying to keep up with my water which seems to be the hardest thing because I just can't seem to get motivated to do it. I know I have more energy at the gym when I get in all 80 oz.

I'm glad you got your fall decorations up! We should put up pics so we can pretend like we can actually visit each other's houses, haha.
