Trim, Tone and Tighten

I had my first dress fitting.

Everything went really well, actually. My dress is slimming, so I only need to worry about toning the tummy and thighs for the honeymoon.

But the part that needs a lot of work?

The fat that hangs over the strapless part of the dress. What is that? Armpit fat? Boob fat? Dad - if you're reading this, that's as bad as it's going to get :-) I have been doing pushups, curls, etc. and it's just not going away.

So what do I do?

I get drastic people. It's go time.

Rather than having bagels at work at an average of three (or four) times/week (with cream cheese, I must add)...

...I am now only allowed half a bagel Tuesday and Thursday, with peanut butter. (I had an oopsie today and had cream cheese, but I wanted it!)

And the workout routine has been stepped up a hundred notches. Rather than working out at the gym over lunch on Tuesday and Thursday only (I do Ab Blast and Fit Camp)...

I now have to add running to the mix. I MUST workout five times a week. NO if's and's or but's about it. I'm on a roll - I've been at it for two weeks now.

And you know what? I actually enjoy running, minus the throbbing pain I sometimes feel in my knees - I have awful knees.

And lastly? I have to walk up the stairs Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week. It's not so bad.

If you think about it, none of this is THAT bad. I just need to find the motivation. I need to enjoy the experience. By my next fitting at the end of this month, I will definitely have trimmed.

But by my wedding day, with all of this work I'm putting into it, I WILL have trimmed down, toned up and tightened and there will be no more fat.

Fingers crossed...
