and then there was June..

Well I'm not being as faithful as I had intended with this..the battle of the bulge continues..some ups, some downs..the most recent victory is mine; I went on vacation for 2 weeks and managed to lose weight..5lbs at that..woohoo The grand total stands at 24.5 lbs.
I ordered my dress (WOOHOO) I will hopefully have to have it taken in, but it's ordered :)
I also went with my mom and the maid of honor and we selected and ordered the bridesmaids' dresses. Then the other night I had a dream that it was the wedding day and I didn't have anyway of getting there..limo shopping next :)

What happened to April?

Wow, I didn't realize I missed so many logs; bitterness to blame for a few weeks, forgetfulness for the others. The diet Gods continued their taunts by doing the whole gain 2lbs lose 1.5 etc. My scale has suffered a few more blows because of it. But this week I had surprising success; for some reason I lost 4lbs (this might be why I suddenly remembered to blog...) my grand total is now 21.5 lbs yippee!!
I have continued exercise, attending Jazzercise classes 4x a week and am beginning to see a change in my body, I have a one pack ab and everything!!
As for the wedding plans, I had a dream for the third time that it was my wedding day and I didn't have a dress, a cake, or flowers. So I met with a florist that I really liked and hired her. I chose my bouquet as well as the girl's bouquets, boutonnieres for the groom and the groomsmen and my centerpieces...next up, ordering the dress and hiring an officiant. I need to think about invitations as well...

Week 12

Well, I was dreading weighing myself this morning. Like I said, Sunday was my birthday so I splurged a bit with my dinner. I had planned on exercising it off, however my dog has been sick all week and we've had to keep on eye on him as well as try to coax him to eat. This resulted in me missing 3 workouts..so I figured it was going to be ugly..BUT, to my surprise I've lost 3.2lbs. WOOHOO!! Why? I have no idea..but, I'll take it. I lost half an inch off of my waist, abdomen and upper arm as well. Jazzercise rules!! I will be going tonight! So, my grand total is..drum roll... 16 1/2 lbs. YAY!

Week 11

I tried the Jazzercise class and really enjoyed it, so I went ahead and signed up. The music and the moves are fun and you definately get a workout. I lost another .8lb and better yet I lost a half inch each from my waist, abdomen, hips and upper thighs! Yay! I will have to work harder this week as today is my birthday so I celebrated with a steak dinner followed by dessert, but I split it with my Mom and my Fiance, so not as bad..right?

Week 9

What happened to week 8?? I forgot all about it, still haven't cheated though!! Was doing great with walking until Monday when it snowed 11 inches..no walking for the rest of the week!! Got back to it on Friday, the exciting news is that yesterday all of my jeans were in the wash and I wanted to go for a walk so I tried on a smaller pair..and they fit!! one size down..WOOHOO!! I will begin attending a 'Jazzercise' class this week with my mom and maid of honor; hopefully the pounds will start coming off quicker

Week 7

Lucky number 7 I've made sure to brave the cold and go for a walk for at least an hour each day. I made a promise as to the demise of the scale if it didn't show results again this week. Something worked because the 2lbs were gone and they took 1 1/2 more with them..woohoo This I can live with!!

Week 6

Well, week six ended ugly.. First let me point to the date Friday the 13th, it sets the tone. I had weighed myself to find I hadn't lost anything. Frustrated, I thought maybe I was just having a bad day, sometimes weight is off and maybe waiting a day would help. I went for a 75 minute walk and had a salad for dinner that night. The next morning I weighed myself again and looked on in horror as the scale showed I had gained 2lbs...TWO $%@# lbs..really?!? So I kicked the scale..twice, once for each pound. And that is how week six ended, now let us never speak of it again.
