I have a problem. There are 54 days until Andrea and Mike's wedding (thanks to Macy's registry for the exact calculation!)and I'm pretty sure my dress doesn't fit. Its a long and complicated story -- the dress is from JCrew, its the biggest size available and I think it's close to fitting. It has a side zipper though. So, if it's tight, it's pretty much impossible to zip up yourself. And I'm too embarrassed to have someone (especially my mom or Eric) help me with it b/c it should fit.
To be honest, that's not the real problem though. The real problem is that I am easily distracted (and, more importantly, discouraged) from the only consistent battle in my life -- controlling my weight. I have been working on my health for the past year. I finally have a good routine at the Y -- one where I need to go at least twice a week or I start feeling down and wish I could exercise. Who knew that could happen?? And I was going good on Weight Watchers until the middle of June.
But life kept getting on the way and I wouldn't concentrate on it enough -- summer is difficult for that. But I think the thing that really stalled me was that stupid HAT score I wrote about last month. It gave me an excuse that what I was doing didn't matter. That coupled with all of the trips, parties and other excuses. But I honestly believe that I would have strategized more to get through the distractions if I wasn't also discouraged.
I really need to get over it and get my ass in gear. I don't have any other option.
I say screw the HAT thing. You should be proud of what you've been able to do over the past year. Use that as a base. I still haven't figured out how to work out after having Owen and he's 14 months old. And, my two unsolicited suggestions are 1. Jillian's 30 day shred and 2. spanx (sp). I know first hand that 1 is great and have heard miraculous things about 2.
