I Don't Want to be the Fat Bride's Maid!

Retro back to August 8th: I got a text message from my best friend and she's engaged! Yay! After 5 years of dating she finally got the ring! Congrats Nicole, I love ya! She has been waiting for this since I can remember... high school maybe? I am ecstatic for her!

So... shortly after, she asked me to be a Bride's Maid... and of course I said yes. :) Now this brings me to a bit of a dilemma...

I DON'T WANT TO BE THE FAT BRIDE'S MAID!!!

So now I am on a journey to lose weight.

I initially started out eating healthier foods in smaller-ish proportions. Then my Mom talked me into doing the Weight Watchers points system. So I jumped on the band wagon... printed out a bunch of crap about points for foods and even bought myself the points calculator on eBay. So far a good start. :)

Over the past week I have been doing okay... minus 3 yummy mini-tacos and rice from the taco shop last night. Totally worth it by the way. Today I did good as well, didn't go over my points, all is....er... was... good. I just had 4 cookies. 4 yummy delicious chocolate chunk cookies. Mmmm....

Damn it.

But, tomorrow is a new day. I did go walking with my son today, so exercise is good. I also ate a lot of veggies today. I'm feeling better in my clothes and less bloated feeling, so that has to stand for something right?

Oh yeah, and a major accomplishment for me.... no soda. Haven't had it in over a week now.

So wish me luck... and loss... of weight that is.

Peace.
