Well I'm doing a fantastic job of keeping up with this blog. Just got home from zumba and had some extra energy so I thought why not grace you all with another blog. (Please contain your excitement)!
So i've been at Weight Watchers for 16 weeks. This past week I lost 3lbs which shocked me because I didn't do zumba all week due to hurting my back. None the less I still managed to lose 3lbs which brings me to 19.5lbs total. I'm so close to 20 I can taste it! Hopefully I'll get my 20lb gold star at the end of this week. So YAY ME!
So after losing my 3lbs I was a happy girl so I wanted to keep that momentum going so what did I do...... bought a wedding dress. We planned on going to just look. I had picked out 5 dresses to try on prior to going. They only had three. One was clearance and no longer available and the other was online only. So I starting looking through the catalog at the store and found a dress that I really liked. The consultant pulled 4 dresses for me (including the one from the catalog) to try on. I put the catalog dress on first.......I fell in love! I humored myself and everyone with me and tried on the 3 others. They were all pretty, but I just kept going back to the first one as did my mom. She would say that's really pretty but I like the first one better. I had no intentions of buying a dress but you really do just know that that's the dress when you have it on........so I SAID YES TO THE DRESS!!!
I know this blog is supposed to be about weight loss so i'll get back to that. The dress fit me perfectly and I mean perfectly no alterations needed. The only thing is I have 10 months until the wedding and i'm planning on continuing to go to weight watchers until I hit my weight goal. I started my weight loss journey before the engagement and before we started planning a wedding. I started doing it for me and for no other reason and that is why i'm going to continue to do it for just that reason. I wasn't going to be one of those girls that bought a dress a size smaller and prayed that i fit into it. I bought a dress that fits me perfectly and if I have to have it taken in then that's a great thing to me! If I don't lose another pound before my wedding day that's just fine with me too.
I've not been this happy with my life in a really long time. I thank God every day for my blessings. I may not have everything I want but I sure do have everything that I need!!!
