First things first, weigh-in!
Hoorah! Low 270's! I know you like my knitted socks...in May. It's actually really chili and rainy lately, which I'm really over. Rain, rain, and more rain. I look at the forecast, guess what? rain. oh well.
So, I'm down this week and super happy to see 271.5 today. It goes back in forth between this number and 272.5 and I like both. Just happened to snap this shot when I grabbed my camera and dropped the lens cap, note at the top of the photo.
I have to say that losing weight this week is attributed to balancing out my meals and making mental notes of what I'm eating. I've exercised too this past week, but not as much as I would have liked. This week will be different though. I had a few treats here and there, but overall sticking to eating less.
Last night, while Josh was out grocery shopping I had a chance to try on my dress and really see how it looks. Every time that I've tried it on it has been as someone else's house with their mirrors. I put it over my head, tied the sash and put my red peep toe high heels on and really felt pretty. And now tempted to wear red heels with my dress haha. I have three weeks to get in better shape which is my goal. Not just to look good, but to feel good.
When I exercise I feel good and more confident. I have more energy and drive. I don't want to be sluggish on my wedding day or think "man, I wish I would have exercised more". I have that chance now to feel differently in three weeks as I walk down the aisle. Differently as I bucket the airplane seat belt. Those decisions are totally up to me.
That is so awesome! You sound so motivated and pumped to get the most out of the next three weeks. You’re going to be a beautiful bride! Oh, and red peep shoes sound good to me!
I love the idea of red heels under a wedding dress! Congrats on the loss.
Give yourself some slack these last few weeks – it can get pretty stressful right before the wedding. Try to rest a lot, too – you’ll be surprised how much energy you will have on your wedding day! All those good feeling endorphins will be kicking in.
Did you know that wearing red shoes on your wedding day is a Chinese tradition (yeah I googled it)? I say go for it! It adds something a little fun to the dress!
Yay low 270′s! Next thing you’ll know you’ll be in the 260′s….and then 250′s….WOO HOO!
YAY!!!
Congrates on our amazing progress!
Sorry, YOUR amazing progress.
Just wanted to tell you that I have really enjoyed reading your blog. Congratulations on your wedding and your health success!
I’m delurking after following you for the past 6 months to say CONGRATS on the 270s. You’re going to look wonderful on your wedding day. You’re a huge inspiration to me…I’m getting married in a little over 2 months and I’ve been joining you on your Jillian Michael’s Inspired Challenge…I’m down 10 lbs. so far! Keep up the good work and PLEASE go for the red shoes…they’ll look great and bring you good luck!
You are doing a great job. I just found your website and am very impressed. I lost 150 pounds just like you are doing – the right way! Keep up the good work! Diane
Congratulations, Lorrie! I say wear the read shoes!
Congrats! I am so inspired by your hard work.
Congrats!
Thank you for the inspiration to get moving today!
Yay!
I say if you feel sexy in the red shoes, go for it. It is your day. You deserve to feel sexy!
You’re doing so well! I’m so proud of you!
Hehe, I love the idea of wearing red shoes under your wedding dress. When I got married, I had a pair of white platform sandals to wear, but since we were getting married outside at a garden, at the last minute, I ditched them for a pair of Keds Eleanor flats! It made for a comfy day and awesome memories!
Congratulations on the loss!
I think you should totally wear red heels in your wedding (you know, if they match the dress). I wore red shoes when I got married and they made the day that much more fun.
Good for you!! Keep working hard and you will feel great on your wedding day. You are a beautiful girl.
Cheers
betty
Good job and congrats on your upcoming wedding!
I’m right there with you! Except I just ate chinese food and feel like a total waste. I hate when I do awesome all day, and then blow it. Any suggestions?
Great job sista! Keep up the good work and congrats on the wedding.
Hey there,
I saw your blog and read quite a bit of it, it was one of the reasons I decided to start my own. You seem very real and very courageous. I am hopeing to get alot out of having a blog through the community and support as well as the accountability and release from writing. Im just a bit shy still of putting my weight online so the whole world can see it. You seem very secure and just wanted to say what an inspiration that is. thank you.
