Fit Fright

18 days until my first wedding dress fitting.


AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


When I tried on my dress in the store, it was definitely too big. The consultant had it pulled with those clasps and stuff. SO, when I ordered it, we decided it would be beneficial to get the next smaller size. I really, really hope that I will fit into it. I haven't had the time to devote to working out in the last month. I just worked 18 days in a row, most of those days were 10-12 hour days. I am excited to have things settle into a routine, allowing me to focus on the other things coming up in my life. The opening of the museum was a huge milestone in my life, and as we are just beginning to learn how to run the site and how things work, it is stressful at times. I know that things will even out. I know that we'll eventually feel good about how things are going.

I am certainly excited to turn the focus on me. I have done pretty well of, at least, getting enough sleep throughout the last few weeks. Now just to add exercise back into the mix. I'm also wrestling with the idea of doing EOB's detox thing before my fitting. Is that extreme? If it was the type of detox where you don't eat food, it might be. But at least there is food involved here...just chicken, broccoli, peppers, carrots, a bit of yogurt and fruit for breakfast, but not much else. I'm slightly concerned about doing this all while wearing a stay, colonial costume, and it potentially being super hot out. ALSO, I am now on my feet for 8 hours a day. That will certainly make a difference for me. My body was used to being active for the entire work day, and when that went away, I gained some weight. SO, my focus is to get rid of that, plus more.

BUT, regardless of what happens, if it doesn't fit, I still have 3 months to make it fit, without them letting it out (if they can). I just need a ton of Spanx and I'll be ALLLLLL set.

In more exciting news, I booked our flight to Hawaii for the honeymoon. :-) I'm not going to give a damn what I look like, I'll be in HAWAII!!!!! I will want to be able to be active, maybe rent a bike, go snorkeling, climb a volcano, etc.

Life will go on after the wedding. That is not my deadline. That is just a moment in time, a great day, a day where I will be glowing, it will be captured on film forever. But I need to remember that I will wake up the day after the wedding, and be married, and continue living.

An active life is a better life than the life I was leading before. If I can remember that, I can do anything.
