So on Dec. 22nd, I went with my best friend and Maid of Honour, my Mom and Scott's Mom to go wedding dress shopping. I had set up the appointment for then, because Scott's parents are leaving to go south for the winter, and I wanted his mom to see the previous dress I fell in love with. I left that one for last in the entire room full of dresses that they pulled for me.
I tried on a bunch of dresses, and they were all the same silhouette (fit & flare with lots of bling, which is what I thought I wanted). In the middle of the dress trying on, I asked the lady if I could try on a ball gown. I love them, but never thought they would be A. comfortable, and B. practical... So I tried on this dress and it is absolutely amazing! blew every other one out of the water. I want to pick it up now and wear it every day of my life! HAHA! A ball gown... with no bling? Who knew!
I weighed in right before my dress shopping experience at HM (because it was right by Ladybelle Bridal) and she did my measurements... which were previously done 10 days before that. 5 3/4 inches off in 10 days! WHAT?? I have been swimming and doing deep water jogging with the styrofoam dumbells they use for aquafit classes, and my back and arms and shoulders are turning into something you would see at a body builders show LOL... well not to that extent, but the tone and definition is amazing.
I went back on the 23rd, hoping to hit my 30 lbs lost point and get my new magnet, and I was at 28.8... GRRRR!, so she did some quick figuring and told me that I needed to drink at least 13 eight oz glasses of water and come back on the 24th. My goal was to hit 30 lbs lost by Christmas, so I drank 16 glasses, and I went back in the morning of the 24th.
I hoped to see 193.6 on the scale, and I stepped on that thing... my palms sweating, my stomach turning... feeling so anxious. I SAW 192.4!!! I jumped up and down, tears in my eyes, and I was so happy! I got hugs from all the girls working and they gave me a treat out of the success chest (I got some fancy thank you cards that I can use for something). and I got my NEW MAGNET!!! I love these!
Identify what you want, and go for it! That is exactly what I did!
On to my 40 lb magnet. I am well on my way. I had a loss on Christmas morning, and I was the same this morning. So I beat Christmas too!! With all the yummy baking my mom did, and I pigged out so much last year, she made me a whole extra tray last year. It feels good to say I had the willpower to stay away.
So here are my stats and I am so excited to share them:
Starting weight: 223.8
Small goal: 185
Final goal: 140
Current weight: 191.8
Weight lost: 31.8 lbs
Inches lost: 35 1/4
OMG I am almost in the 180's!! AHHHHH! I am proud of myself!
I really hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
