Yeah. And guess who is in the wedding. Yep...that would be me.
I want SO badly to look awesome in this bridesmaid dress. I want to be able to look back at the pictures of the weekend and love what I see, not feel like I have to avoid the camera.
I have a little under five months.
I am working hard. I turned myself into the WW police and have been watching my food intake. For the first time in many weigh ins, the scale is I N C H I N G downwards. I have started strength training and am starting to see muscle tone. But . . . its slow.
As I write this, I am watching the Biggest Loser finale. I love the show for its inspiration and the amazing transformations, but when you see people dropping 10, 15...30 pounds in a week, it gets hard to be all WOOHOO!!! about a .5 loss on the scale on a Saturday morning.
Also as I sit here, I hear my Grammie whispering in my ear, spouting little bits of wisdom..."Slow and steady wins the race" and "For Pete's sake, Beth Ann, patience is a virtue!"
I answer her back (in my head of course), butchering one of my favorite lines from one the wise men of our time and say..."But DAMN Gram, Losin' Ain't Easy!"
