so, the big goal in this whole picture is to lose enough weight to confidently tell A how i feel. like i mentioned, this could happen this november, however, that looks really doubtful. that may happen in may instead (a long way away, i know).
now i have 2 mini-goals:
- i'm set to be a bridesmaid in early january. like most bridesmaid dresses, our potentials are sleeveless. to prevent extreme mortification, i've started using one of those firming lotions on my upper arms, which are.... huge. like seriously. even when i was at a relatively normal weight, for some reason my arms were massive. i had comments on them, this is just not my opinion. they've started developing cellulite in the under part of my upper arm and stretch marks. in a nutshell, they are not pretty. in addition to the lotion, the goal here is to make my arms look better than they do know, so come january i'm not horribly self concious the entire day, walking down the aisle, taking pictures, dancing, etc. yes, i know it's the bride's day. still, i cant help thinking that the guests will leave saying:
"what a lovely wedding. the bride was so beautiful. i'm so glad they had an open bar. did you see that one bridesmaid's massively grotesque arms? hahaha. yikes!"
- the above is my short-term goal. my shorter term goal is to have 7 straight days, just one measly week, of "excellence." i know it sounds like i'm setting myself up for failure, but i'll be reasonable about this. the specifics are that i will work out 2x a day (if work/weather permits), alternate ab training and arm training on those days, no fast food, healthy eating choices (if i know it's bad, say no thanks).
i'll keep you updated on my progress. today is day 1. that makes friday day 7. day 1 and day 7, because they fall on the weekend, may be the hardest in terms of food.
Stay Focused...
