HM: PAID

On Friday, FI paid the final balance for the honeymoon. I am so excited! Yesterday was a jammed packed day. I had an 8 am class that lasts 3 hours after the 2hr I'm falling asleep. After class I went to pay the Caterer at our Venue. The bar is the only balance to be paid and the inlaws are taking care of that. I also went and PAID off my dress. I had another fitting and decided to add a wider back flap so that the corset doesn't have to be sooo tight that it squeezes by back fat and get a bustle for my train. I plan to keep the train bustled during the ceremony. Then after the fitting I had to do a clinical at the hospital from 1-9pm. I was EXHAUSTED last night and I have had a sinus headache for 2 days in a row. If this doesn't get better today I am going to the MD tomorrow. Off to go study.

The beginning.....

in 41 days I am getting married! EXCITED I am... but I will walk down the aisle a "plus sized bride" and I am somewhat disappointed in myself for that. I have had over 17 months to plan this wedding so that was plenty of time to lose this weight. And I half heartedly tried here and there just thinking that I had time. NOW that time has past and I will be in a size 22 dress becoming a wife. Now I am going to make the best of the situation and the enjoy the day nonetheless but what bothers me the most is when my children look back at the pictures they will see that their mom was fat! I know that seems silly considering we don't have children yet but is bothers me. So for the next 41 days I will commit to myself and weight loss. Here are my goals:

• I want to lose 15 lbs by the wedding 10.9.10.
• By Jan 26, 2011 I want have lost another 20 lbs for a total of 35lbs
• By Graduation in May I want to have lost a total of 60lbs

My starting weight is: 298.8lbs

ST Goal #1 Wedding: 285 lbs

ST Goal #2 B-day: 265lbs

ST Goal #3 Graduation: 239 lbs

I will weigh-in weekly to post my successes and failures! Wish me luck!!!
