WOW is time flying by! The holidays are here which always makes things busy and a little crazy this time of year. Luckily for a destination wedding there is not too much to do or stress about. I spoke with my new wedding coordinator from the resort the other day after the management switch and it made me feel a lot better getting some of the details confirmed. We are 7 weeks out from the big day, which means just over 6 weeks until we leave to go to the Dominican Republic. That is crazy! It seems like just yesterday we were still over a year away.

Since my last update, not much has changed with my weight loss progress, which is ok. I took last week off from working out through Thanksgiving week because I planned a recovery week into my workout program, and it was perfect timing because my body needed the break. My weight held steady even with the extra holiday treats, this morning weighing in at 138.2. So I'm only down about 2 pounds, but I'm ok with that because I know my consistency has not been spot on, enjoying extra alcohol and treat meals. I have my second dress fitting today which will be exciting to have the dress fit me for the first time. This has been on my mind making me a little reserved about losing too much more weight (and therefor affecting my actions) because if I do, I will have to have the dress taken in more and cost me more money. Happiness is the end goal, and I am not unhappy with where I'm at right now. Being very realistic, I might be able to lose another 3 lbs or so before the wedding, which is just fine. I'm just going with the flow.

I ordered a few new bathing suits, am practicing my makeup that I will be doing myself for the wedding, Dan is now officially dieting to lose some pounds, we are confirming food for the reception, travel details, ceremony songs, and getting excited!! ...things are moving right along!
