I Wore a Dress and I Liked it!

Hey Chics! Yes I know it has been a few weeks with a lot of ups and downs and I am learning that I have to tweak a lot of things I want to do because I just can't do it all even though I think I can. I also can't do things when I want to, sometimes I will just have to work around things so that is exactly what I will do. 

I wanted to work out during Cole's naps and blog at night. Then I soon realized that I was never going to be sure how long Cole will sleep and it always seems like as soon as I would start he would wake up and then by night time I could care less. So then at night I would have all the house work to do and no time to blog. So how was I going to fix it? Yup, you guessed it...the light bulb came on! During the day I am only going to do 2 things with my time do my "womanly" duties and be a mom. That way by the time Cole goes to sleep the chores will be done and then I will have my time to focus on me. If he goes to bed before 9:30 then that gives me time to blog until Dustin goes to sleep. Then it is exercise time! I am going to do that tonight but kinda got a late start so I am going to exercise at 10. I am good as long as I am in bed by 11.

My eating has been so-so. I reach for more veggies than I use to I am seeing that I want water more and more. But I am back up to 189 as of this morning. I want to have more of a focal point to look at when I go to raid the fridge. I was watching some 600lb show on TLC (I can't remember the full name) and this girl made a chart and put it on her fridge and it is a count down of pounds and every time she lost a pound she would cross it off. To me I would rather cross off another pound then grab something to add one. I figured I would show you my little chart...

 Now onto the title of my blog. I finally wore a dress! At the time I wore it I think I was weighing in at about 183. John and I were finally able to go out and I truly don't remember the last time I felt pretty. I bought the dress because we were shopping for dresses for my sisters wedding and I tried it on and loved it but she didn't so I knew I could wear it. Oh and it has pockets! So I put it on with my boots and didn't even look in the mirror past my boobs cause those girls looked awesome! I didn't want to. I didn't want to pick myself apart. I just wanted to feel pretty and I did. And then when I saw the look on John's face he just reassured me that I was. Now after I saw the pic of myself that night I wasn't too happy. I thought I looked better but I still felt pretty and I didn't care if people liked what they saw or not. Since then I have been feeling a little more beautiful again each day. 

Well it is about that time to exercise so I will leave you with the thought that no matter how big we may be we can still be pretty and sexy chics!
