Getting my fitness on. Look out Fergie!

Dear Diary,
 So the realization that I needed to get my rear in gear for this wedding was when I went to try on my dress for the first time. Once my gown came in I made an appointment to go see it and try it on. Not an actual fitting, just wanted to play dress-up:) I knew the size she had to order for me and I wasn't thrilled with it but a lot had to do with my jumbo rack. Can't really control that. haha

So I went and was soooo excited to see it and try it on, that was until  they couldn't get it zipped! I almost started to cry right there in the store. I did not want to be the bride with the back fat!I knew something needed to be done. I knew I had gained a few LBs but not as many as the zipper said.

I was not going to look like this:

That was when I went and signed up for a personal trainer at the gym. I started the first week of June with Becky. She is a very sweet, fit, young Eagles Cheerleader (insert barfing sound here) who is an awesome trainer. She has given me great  food options and works me extremely hard during our twice a week sessions. She sees my potential and always pushes me to do more. I told her having to look at her everyday is motivation enough. She laughs at me. So after three full weeks i'm down 6 lbs and continue to keep up the hard work to obtain my ultimate goal of not looking like an Ompa Lumpa in my wedding gown.
I go twice a week to meet with Becky and two to three other days to do my cardio. It's hard and i'm tempted a lot with food and drinking. I like both a lot so it's just having the self control to say no and make better choices.

I figure if i can do it anyone can do it. You really just have to set your mind to it and go for it. I struggle everyday with my choices but I look at that beautiful gown and know I want J to look at me in it and be speechless. So as i'm writing this today i'm sitting here with my Chobani yogurt, grilled chicken and a peach wishing it was a chocolate milkshake but knowing I conquered just one more obstacle on my way down the isle.
