7 Weeks to fit the Dreaded Dress
In almost 8 weeks from today, I am going to have to wear a formal dress. I'm not buying the dress till about 6 weeks from now. In the mean time, it's time to lose just a few more pounds. (I lost one this week for a total loss of 15.5 so far--slow, and sometimes steady) I scoured the Internet high and low for a workout schedule that I could use either at home or at the gym. I settled on this one from prevention.com http://features.prevention.com/walking/calendar/ It's seven weeks to a half marathon which is deceptive because the most that is required is a 7 mile walk at the end. I'm going to follow the schedule on workout times, but when in the gym I might count some of the minutes on a bike or elliptical trainer toward the walking times because I want to be able to make the most out of the gym. So, it may be 7 weeks to a half marathon, but I'd say it's 7 weeks to the dreaded dress day. (Perhaps the more I workout, the more I'll be able to muster up a little positivity for this whole buy a formal dress thing)

I hereby predict that if you continue eating healthy and following that exercise plan, you are going to be in for a VERY pleasant surprise when you try on that dress. :)
(Head bowed, palms up.) May I suggest that one small tweak in your perception might help your progress? Instead of visualizing the "dreaded" dress fitting, how about forming a crystal clear image of your body fully cooperating with your intention to look and feel beautiful in six weeks as you step into a dress made to accent your best qualities?
EnJOY the journey!
Good luck on all of your goals! Keep focused and you'll be just fine!! Let's stay motivated in May!!
