Several months ago all the girls in my sister in laws wedding went and had our bridesmaid dress fitting. I have mixed emotions about these kinds of things. It's an exciting time for all of us girls to get together and see what we look like in these gorgeous dresses BUT we all know bridesmaid dresses for SOME reason seem to run small. So the size you would wear in "normal" clothes tends to be the wrong size. Since I tend to be pretty stubborn (my husband would be the first to agree) I was NOT going to buy a dress bigger so I didn't! I knew that I was starting my 90 challenge soon and I would be able to rock this thing.
So the dress has been sitting at my in laws house for a about a month. I have not really wanted to try it on. Friday I went to their house and tried it on... Drum roll please........................... it's still too small!!! I know what you were thinking, I was going to say IT FIT!!! I have to say it fit better than it did when I bought it but we can't get it to zip up without forcing it. I definitely don't want to do that... So I started to reflect on what I am doing and what I am not doing. I realized I have spent SO much time trying to "promote" this 90 day challenge that I have not really been keeping up with my own challenge. I haven't been keeping track of the calories like I should be. It wasn't that I was really doing anything "wrong" per say it's that I haven't been giving it 100%. That very moment I made a commitment that I was going to focus more of MY Challenge. Of course I am still promoting the challenge and I am helping people with theirs but lets get real people. I HAVE to fit in this dress... HAVE TOO!!! Like I told a lady at our church today it's not like I can say "hmmm maybe I will just wear something else".
So what to expect over the next 25 days? If you are one of my blog readers, you will get the inside scoop of how I am going to not only fit in that dress I am going to ROCK that dress!!! As my dad would say "You are Frank Molina's daughter! You are not a quitter!!! You can do it" =) if I was to talk to him about it I am almost positive that is what he would say =).
The best thing about the next 25 days is that I have an incredible tool that is going to help me with this. VISALUS!!! I will be replacing two meals a day with my Visalus shakes, I was doing this before but over the last few weeks I have slacked in the dinner department.
So there you have it friends! I hope to not only lose the inches I need to fit in the dress but to inspire someone to accomplish a goal you have set for yourself. =)
Yesterday, I wasn't able to post a blog because blogger was being difficult. I was very proud of my accomplishments. I worked out for an hour in our home gym (thanks to my in laws) and then last night I did 20 minutes of Zumba dancing. I did my 2 shakes and I am feeling good.
Stay tuned more tomorrow =)
