Our Aruba Wedding

Well I’ve lost track of whether I’ve posted on this or not but one of my biggest ordeals has been (comfortably) getting into my wedding dress! The dress is too big almost everywhere but too small for my bust! You know how hard it is working like crazy to lose weight and hoping you’ll lost enough for your chest to get smaller? While I know some girls would love to have that problem, believe me, its not fun! And the dress dips in the front and back so finding the right lingerie for underneath it has been a major chore! I’ve exhausted local options and have ordered 4 or 5 different items online that have not worked. I need structure but can’t have too much molding and need that dip in the front.

The good news is I’m within 2-3 pounds of where I want to be for the wedding and think I’ll be able to pull it off but I’ll still have to work hard. The odds are stacked against me right now. Last night I missed a workout for a meeting and this weekend my fiancé is coming into town. He lives 4+ hours away so we don’t see each other nearly as much as we would like. So, when we are together we want to be able to enjoy ourselves and I can’t bring myself to obsess over food. Then, I’ll also miss next Thursday’s workout because we’re going to NYC for the weekend. In fact, I postponed next week’s dress fitting because I am hoping to find the right bustier in NYC. And I’m sure most discipline will go out the window in NYC so I’ll probably come back bloated, just in time for that fitting.

So, when I’m here, home alone, I’m doing awesome these last couple of weeks. But missed workouts and our little NYC adventure is going to be hard to make up for. And his parents are coming over from India in a few weeks. His mom will be making awesome food (some of which I’ll hopefully learn). There’s also Diwali coming up which we’ll be celebrating two weeks before the wedding. And I’ll likely get in no workouts in the week leading up to the wedding.  These days I keep thinking about those herbal wraps that are supposed to help you lose inches. I know its short term ‘water weight’ loss, but might it work?
