So, I did a little shopping tonight. I was looking for one thing, but came away with something completely different. I found a sale I couldn't resist: a dress, regularly priced at $78, for $14!!! I love this dress, and I have a wedding coming up next weekend...it would be perfect! This dress is made from that clingy, comfy material that many tops are made of these days, and it would have looked awful 20 pounds ago. In fact, I really would like to lose another five-ish pounds.
So, my challenge is on! Can I lose a little more weight in the next week? Yes, I can!!! Bring on the salad and fruit and other healthy foods. Oh, and here come walks and workouts, too.
The wedding I'll be attending? A dear friend of mine who I haven't seen in five years is getting married...I wish I had lost more weight, but at the same time, I lost SOME weight. Besides, the most important thing is we'll get to see each other and that's what matters most. He called me last night, and I was most excited when he said goodbye with, "See you next week!" I can't wait.

Back at it
OK. I promised a friend at work today that I would post a blog. She reminded me that I haven't posted anything since July 14 and added that it wasn't even a good blog, because it basically just had a link to another blog.
So, since July 14...I was still going strong for several weeks, but things have tapered off for the last week or two. I had food poisoning a couple of weeks ago. I was really sick for one day and then, didn't really feel like doing much for a couple days after that. That's all it took to get me out of the habit of exercising. Funny how that works, isn't it?
As I write this, I'm reminded of what Matt, my personal trainer told me. He said that everyone has lapses; it's what people do with these lapses that makes all the difference.
So it's time to pick myself up, dust myself off, and get back on the weight loss trail. My friend at work has been so good about exercising every day, and she looks absolutely beautiful. I have a long way to go, but there's only one way to get there, and that's to stay motivated.
So, with this blog, I'm pledging to get serious again starting tomorrow. Care to join me?
