Stress = Weight Gain

We have now reached the under 40-day mark! I can't believe that we are this close to the wedding!

I still have a lot on my plate, and now, another thing has popped up: getting back into shape.

For the last few weeks, we have been anticipating a move, and with all of the stress that we have been going through with the bank and the seller, I have admittedly gained some weight.

I haven't stepped on a scale (because like the rest of my life, it's packed in a box), but I can tell by the way some of my shirts are fitting, and by the waist on my "skinny" jeans.  It's bad, kids.

So, since I have left out a few outfits for packing, i.e.: workout-type clothing, I'm going to have to step it up a bit.  I have my next fitting in two weeks, so I have only a little bit of time to lose a few pounds.  I'm not setting a goal for myself of 10 or 15 pounds, although that would be nice, because I don't think that those are realistic numbers.  Instead, I'm setting a goal of fitting into my "skinny" jeans again, and fitting into my wedding dress comfortably.

So, I think that I'm going to start bringing workout clothes with me to work, and since I typically stay at work an hour later than I need to (for commuting purposes with the FI), I'm going to spend that time working out.

Anyone with me on the workout wagon? I need some support, and I bet you do too!

It's In?! It's Here?!

AHHHH!!!!

I got a little blue postcard in the mail yesterday notifying me that my "special order" has arrived!! AHHHHH!!!!

MY DRESS IS IN!!!!!!!

So, even though I have been working out lately, I'm not seeing results or changes, so I'm really scared that it's not going to fit.  The shop that I bought the dress from doesn't do alterations, which means I need to find a place that does.  However, this also means that I need to get the dress from the shop in a month...which also means that I have a new best friend - the elliptical.

I really need to get my rear-end in gear and get back into shape.

But I guess that the good thing is that I still have a little bit of time before I need to start alterations.

Time to get my act together! Jillian Michaels and Tony Horton, here I come!
