Comments(0) Forgot to add to my last post - I have set my new mini-goal at (gulp!) 132. 4 pounds away, but probably the hardest 4 pounds yet! If I can reach that before the wedding, I will be ecstatic!!! 
Wish me luck and lots of celery
Comments(0) ME??? No, not since 2003, I don’t think. I’m amazed! I did one of those quick jumps on and off the scale this morning - as soon as I saw the number I freaked out!! (in a good way) WHOOOOEEE! Another thing I noticed - I’m not as hungry anymore. My appetite has really slowed down. I can get by not eating much (although I still make myself eat snacks every few hours) i just noticed it takes a lot less to satisfy me, yet I still have energy. I think my stomach is shrinking, or maybe it’s my blood sugar, I don’t know. Science is mystifying.
In other news, I had my bridal portrait taken over the weekend and also attended a bachelorette party (not mine, a friend’s!) so it was bridealicious weekend. Can’t wait to see the proofs from my portrait! I’m thinking I’m happy with my weight now.. I would love to still get down to 130 if I can, before the wedding, but at this point I’m happy just maintaining. That doesn’t mean I’m going to stop trying though!
There are so many things I’m loving about this new me - clothes fit better, (… actually some are too big now! I’m going to have to do some shopping after the wedding), confidence is up, I tried on my bikinis for the honeymoon and actually didn’t feel self conscious, I’m more accepting of my flaws now (even my stubborn areas don’t bother me so much anymore), I have more energy, feel more positive in general… and most importantly, I’m realizing that I can achieve a goal that I thought was impossible. That is the coolest thing of all!
And I can’t tell you the joy it brings me when someone notices, or when my fiance looks at me or touches me and says “WOW you are so fit!!!” it’s priceless. :) Of course, he thought I was irresistable when I was heavier too so god bless him.
25 days till the wedding!
Comments(0) Helllloooo everyone in buddyslimland! :) I weighed in at 138 this morning… down 1/2 pound… I’ll take it!
But that’s not all that has me feeling especially happy today. As anyone else planning a wedding knows (or if you remember, those of you who have been through it already), it can be overwhelming and very stressful. I have spent the last few months totally immersed in wedding stuff and self-absorbed…. well just focused on myown life I suppose, because there was so much to focus on! Well, I don’t know if it was checking things off the list, or the official start of May (my wedding is next month!!!! I can finally say that!!!!) but I have officially chilled…. out.
It feels great. I just have a new perspective, and it’s more of a big picture perspective. Focusing on all the details was exhausting, but necessary, and I’m glad I did it, but I’m done now! I’m ready to coast through the last month in happiness and anticipation. I can’t believe how lucky I am to be marrying the man of my dreams. I can’t believe how blessed we are to have such wonderful family and friends, who are all coming here because of us… I’m just so happy! And, I’m also REEEaLLLy looking forward to our honeymoon, and the blissful peaceful days of newlywededness ahead. I’m ready to be relaxed and even a little bored… at least for a few weeks
SOOO there you have it. I’m feeling great! I have a new attitude. I’m happy and looking forward to all the wonderful things that lie ahead.
Oh, and it’s FRIDAY!!!!
