My weight loss journey started with the motivation to look good in a bridesmaid dress for my friend Nancy's wedding. And with that motivation, I reached my lowest adult weight of 188lbs and looked damn good in that dress.
After Nancy's wedding, I lost focus and gained a few pounds back, but still felt like I was within striking distance of my goals. But then, as you all know, I got injured...again.
Now that I'm all fixed up, I have to admit that I'm a bit nervous about getting back into the gym. I need to get through the first few sucky workouts where my mind/body is not going to do what I want it to do, before I get into my rhythm. I also don't want to push myself too hard before my surgeon gives me a 100% all-clear to get back into the gym (all I'm allowed to do right now is walk and elliptical). (Has anyone else ever felt this way? I feel like it's double dutch jump roping and I'm just trying to get the rhythm down so I can jump in.)
So the post's title is "déjà vu all over again" because I have about 7 months to look good (I miss my triceps!) in this dress (that can be worn a few different ways) for my friend Megan's wedding:
Side note: whenever I get married, it's going to be like 27 Dresses, isn't it? Thank goodness I wasn't in a sorority!

27 dresses happens to be one of my most favorite movies, particularly because the end. I would love to have that many people stand up with me. Sure, its excessive, but was so lovely.
ReplyYou are a rockstar.
I hear you. Though my injury was not as severe I am just starting to work out again and it is nerve racking. I want to run but I know I shouldn't. I am taking it in strides though, starting with core work and walking. You're a power house, I know that from reading. Baby steps and we'll both be back in fighting shape in no time.
ReplyI love 27 Dresses! Wait... is that the one with all the zombies or not?
ReplyI enjoyed 27 dresses, cute movie. You have great motivation but take it slow.
ReplyThere are points in that movie where I just positively cringe...and some that are kind of true-to-life.
ReplyJack--the movie would have been so much better with zombies.
