Day 182 - Smaller I be

I just felt I should update you once again with a less formal photograph. I am now down 30 lbs. Leaving 20 lbs to my goal. 30 lbs maybe but 20 is my initial goal. 
I'm finally in my skinny jeans again. :) 

Enjoy the rapture tomorrow!

Also, thought for the day, in today's day you are not proof that your parents bumped uglies... think about it. It's true! 

Day 146 - Weight loss update

It occurred to me today that I had not posted an update photo on my weight loss in some time. Since December in fact. Here we are at -25 lbs. Beyond the halfway point. :)

Day 142 - Nightmares abound!

Wow, whenever there is something not yet done I have a nightmare about it. Last night I had the worst nightmare so far! The invitations had not been mailed out and no one knew when the wedding was. Of the few who were there not a one knew how to fasten my dress, the caterer was ready with food for 100 people yet there were only 10 mouths to feed and the bridal party was M.I.A.! WOWZA! I guess I should finish the guest list!

Day 166 - We built this guest list on rock & roll

I'm pretty sure this guest list will have me sent to the nut house before I'm done. But right now ... I'm pretty sure we have practically decided on almost maybe confirming our guest list to maybe be a nice round 80 although perhaps we might think of maybe adding 5 others but that is only a maybe instead of a definitely. But it is a definite maybe so maybe it's more definite than maybe....*faints*

We realized with the finances we need to keep it small and intimate but we also do not want to alienate people. At this point we are juggling an online, live wedding for those who are further away and can't our couldn't make it to the ceremony without spending a lot of money to attend.

Not sure how that would fly at this point but we will see as time progresses. 

Day 134 - And the dress is mine.

Today I made the first payment on my wedding dress. With 30lbs down and 20 more to go I'm a little nervous. But the bridal consultant feels I should still fit even if I do lose another 20 lbs.

But having my purchase made I spent the rest of the day in the judges chair playing simon while my sister tried on nearly 2 dozen dresses for my approval.

When she saw how many dresses there were she was shocked. Of course not all of them were legit we did have to have some fun with her and shoved some lemons in the pile. Just had to make sure she'd be honest to the bride if she didn't approve. She was!

Day 133 - To dress or not to dress

Seeing as they still needed to clean and patch parts of the dress, which I am buying off the rack to save money, I will be going in one more time tomorrow to see how they did. I'll take Niki and Jer and likely take a look at some bridesmaids dresses with them. Who knows, promises to be fun no matter what.

My day was made even better when basking on the sofa before Breakfast and my hubby-to-be was caught staring at me.
Me - "What?"
Him - "I just don't know what you're going to look like 20 lbs lighter."
Me - "What? Why?"
David - "Well ... you're just.... I don't know... I just... I don't see where you can lose 20 lbs more."

I will take that to the bank. I am happy where I am but not satisfied. I still see too much when I look in the mirror before my shower. Mostly in my thighs and butt so I suppose that could be why he doesn't see it. He is an ass man after all ;p
