Day 23 - We'll get there in time

Well if I ignore the direct results with the wedding I can feel slightly productive. It can be so frustrating to know what you need and not be able to get it yet. I can't control our income but I can control our output and my weight and so I have focused on that.
I've began to tighten those budget strings. I'm doing it slowly because I know if I go too fast we'll only fall back and go further in debt or at least back to square one. This week we have cut up and canceled (completely paid for) 3 credit cards! That felt great! Still a way to go but it's a start.
I've also been very active and consistent with my fitness pal and have lost another 2.1 lbs. Even with David's christmas potluck today and my friends daughter's birthday party I managed to stay under my calorie goal for the day. Strong will and determination will get me there.
For a laugh David received a bridal magazine for his christmas present from work. He was given a gift card too but I loved the bridal magazine gift. There was a little post it stuck in it that said, "David I think you'll look good in this one."
Of course I was excited to get home and look through that magazine for inspiration. :) But I'm the bride, of course I'm supposed to be excited to flip through thousands of pictures of dresses that mostly look identical!
There was a little part of me that said, "wouldn't it be funny if I ended up in the dress the co-worker had quickly and likely blindly stuck a post-it to?" but of course the dress selected was not the dress I was looking for.
