The Last Meal...

Hello!

Happy March Break to all my teacher friends! I hope you found some time to relax and rejuvenate with your friends and family. I absolutely love this time of year, because it feels like we're going downhill....Spring colours paint the malls, the time change energizes, birds reuniting with one another, and the weather slowly gets warmer and warmer.  However, this year, I feel like I'm still climbing an enormous mountain....the famous Mt. Wedding.

Yes, in 4 months, I will be a MRS! It's crazy how quickly time flies. I remember thinking '8 months till the wedding' and now I am thinking 'holy amazeballs - only 4 months!'. I've been checking off the to-do list (cake, bomboniere, DJ, music, etc.) but there is one that I have not yet checked off - the wedding weight loss.

This past week, I was in full beach mode! Think sun, sand, sea, and many Spring Breakers flaunting their neon 2 pieces. (yes folks, the 80s neon is back in!). As I sat with my cover up, covering all my problem areas, I was mad at myself. Why haven't I done what I need to do to feel and look better? I'm not comfortable in my own skin and yet,  I've done nothing about it. Yes, I pay for Weight Watchers - and yes, I try and do the smoothie thing daily -  and yes, I have the home gym -  and yes, I know what I need to do....but I just have not taken it seriously until....tonight.

Yes - everyone hear me loud and clearly. I have 4 months to accomplish my goal. I want to rock the wedding dress but more importantly, I want to FEEL comfortable and confident on my wedding day. This is not a superficial thing. This is a wellness and confidence thing. When I was in Florida, I had a little taste of my beachy honeymoon! And, I didn't like it. I want to feel fantastic on the beach in Hawaii...I want to walk along the beach feeling confident in my own skin....I don't want to cover up my entire body.....I want to have the strength to eat well while on vacation

....I've said this before. (So much that my fiance doesn't entertain any of these conversations any more), but this was my last meal. A yummy disguised heart attack mess....and it was fantastic.



I devoured my naughty bliss, knowing that tomorrow is a brand new day....a new fitness schedule.....and a new meal plan. This is it, folks! I'm serious....I'm committed.....I've got 4 months. I could do a lot of damage in 4 months - I'm ready!

And, to add to my motivation, I need to fit into all my new Florida purchases. Yep, I bought adorable dresses, maxi skirts, tanks, etc. all in a SMALLER SIZE, PURPOSELY. Was this a crazy thing to do? Stupid of me? Or wise? Creative? Clever? I think the latter, my family thinks the first one. HA! I'll prove them wrong.....and I can't wait!



Thank you for reading! Making my mission public feels good! Keeps me in check. Keeps me honest. Any advice on how to stay strong is encouraged! I'd love to hear from you!
