This past weekend some of my favorite people in the whole wide world came into town to go bridesmaid dress shopping. We had a blast at the bridal store and walked out with our dresses ordered. Our dresses are absolutely fabulous, I cannot wait until they come in. I ordered mine one size smaller than I fit in now to keep myself motivated to stay on track. Every time I want something bad to eat, I tell myself to think of that dress and how awesome it is going to look when I put it on. I want to look good not only to be proud of myself, but I want to make David and Chad proud on their wedding day as well.
Also, to help keep things going and hopefully make these moments weakness have less of an impact, I have started using my treadmill. I went 1.5 miles yesterday and 2 miles today. I am just doing a run/walk for 30 minutes, but eventually want to work myself up to a 30 minute straight run. This is my favorite form of exercise and the easiest thing for me to do at home. Who knows, maybe I will work myself into doing a 5K or more. Right now my goal is to get in shape anything else that comes of it is just a bonus.
HAHA! I like the size smaller thing, that is very good motivation. I ordered several boxes of girl scout cookies too and they came in Tuesday but I forgot to bring them home because I was really so busy at work that I forgot they were even there. THEN I walked in yesterday, was hungry..nutrigrain bar and banana in hand but instead i grabbed the cookies and ate pretty much a whole stick of the shortbread cookies before I even realized what the hell I was doing. When I realized what I did, I just about cried and just felt SICK! :/ It isnt worth blowing all this hard work to feel BAD about eating something so I hope I can resist the rest of them that are sitting in my pantry!!! Ever since my fusion, I have had it in my mind that after months of not being able to walk that I wanted to walk myself up to the point I could do a 5k too. More than anything, I want to prove to myself that I can do it!! I worked so hard to get better, now I just want to take advantage of this second chance I have been given and get in shape. Walking and swimming is about the only form of excersize I can do right now. Loving your blogs girl! Keep it up!
