Talk about motivation..

Well I know I write the blog for motivation.. but now I have some more. I bought my wedding dress today!! And I had to buy it off the rack because it was a discontinued dress. I did try on several. Some were really pretty, some just looked funny on me or swallowed me up since I'm so short. But the dress I chose is the one that made me feel the most pretty and even slim. =) Since I bought it off the rack it is a little snug. So with that being said, I definitely have to keep up with the working out and watching what I eat. I've already informed my walking partner that we must continue and she said "we will walk like crazy." So I'm excited. We even got 25% off since we bought it off the rack. So yay! I do recommend the Bridal Boutique and Tux Shoppe in downtown Prattville. I assumed since it was a small shop that it would be pricey, but the prices were pretty reasonable. Most of the dresses I tried on were pretty much under $500. And my dress was a good bit less than that. So I just wanted to share. I kind of feel like my blogging is turning into weight loss/wedding, but I suppose that's alright. =)

Much Better Weigh-In

Today's weigh-in was 138.2! So that is a pound down from last week!!

The exercising is definitely helping! I am trying to watch what I eat, but I'm also trying not to stress out about it, because that usually makes me want it more.

Hope everyone has a blessed Easter!

No good

Weigh-in stunk. Was up again. Don't really want to post. But just add .4 to last week. =(

Ranting

I'm frustrated with myself (and the Target dressing room mirrors.) I'm upset that I let myself get this way. I went to Target today & tried on four dresses. I was pretty much disgusted with each one of them (or more like my body in them). It's Spring-time so that means most things are very short sleeved or sleeveless. I'm pretty sure I have cellulite in my arms. And I'm supposed to go try on wedding dresses next weekend!?!? Maybe it will be very dimly lit in the dress shop. When I was in the Target dressing room, they have mirrors where you can see your front and your back. I wasn't digging any side of my body. I know that I'm working on losing weight, but ugh I'm really hating what I have done to my body. Why do we do this to ourselves? I know most women aren't pleased with their bodies. But when you're overweight and you really dislike what you see, why is it we continue to put the bad food in and slack on exercise?

Hopefully tomorrow my weigh-in will be okay. And my mood too. I don't want to wear cardigans all Summer... I'm a hot natured girl!

Weigh-in Day...

Well, this week wasn't that great! I did exercise a good bit, but apparently I'm just going to have to starve myself... not really of course.

This week's weight: 138.8

Last week's weight: 138.6

So I was up .2. Just need to do better next week. Especially since I'm planning on looking at wedding dresses in 2 weeks. =)

I feel it in my legs!

I must say working out with someone is way better than just being accountable to yourself. I went on a two hour walk today with Crystal from church and I'm glad I went. Not only did I work out longer than I normally do but it was great spending time with her and chatting it up. I didn't get up this morning to work out and the only person that I had to deal with was myself. Having someone to be accountable to definitely makes a difference. I would have felt really bad if I had told her I was not going to come exercise. Hopefully, we can both keep this up. We are planning a walk tomorrow as well. Go us!

Maybe My Weight Loss is an April Fool's Joke

I didn't lose much this week. Actually, I'm surprised I lost anything because for the last 3 nights I have had spaghetti and a brownie for dessert. But anyway, a loss is a loss and I'll take it. Last weight: 138.8 New weight: 138.6 Total loss: .2 I've got to get my butt in gear. But I guess in the whole scheme of things, I should be happy. I was stuck around 144 for a while and now I'm finally getting away from it and staying away, so yippee for me.
