Today was pretty much a good day. It started way too early but I'll survive. Obviously it wasn't too early since here it is 4 a.m. the next morning and I'm awake to write this blog...
I went dress shopping with a good friend of mine here for the ball we're going to on Thursday. She found her perfect dress...its stunning, of course. This girl, Breckan, is adorable. In the last 2 years she's lost 100+ lbs using lap band and was able to buy a size 6 dress from Macy's for this ball. So basically 2 years ago she was my size or just below it and yesterday fit into her dream dress. She was talking about how she was just going to wear one of her old prom dresses to the ball until she realized they would be way too big. How cool would that be??? Maybe next year! We have a ball in December and if I stick to this new diet and it actually does what it says it will, I could potentially be down like 50+ lbs and have to buy a much smaller size dress for the ball in December. My ultimate goal is to get into my high school homecoming dress from my Jr. year again at some point. We shall see.
I started my nutrisystem yesterday and have already learned a valuable lesson today. I had my nutrisystem dinner and then made spaghetti for Keith and my cousin Claire who is out here this weekend with us. I thought I'd just have a tiny amount of spaghetti and tiny piece of garlic bread and proceeded to spend the rest of the night in the bathroom, very sick. So, lesson learned: go ahead and cook for everyone else but find a way to keep my mits off the real food, hehe.
I'm hoping to go see Sex & The City today if I'm feeling better when I get up again. B & I have been dying to go see it but she only comes down from Portland, where she lives, on weekends to see her boyfriend Ryan, who works with Keith. We haven't found the time as of yet to go see it but the boys *Keith & Ryan* are supposed to be doing some house chores for me tomorrow so while they're putting the lattice up around my porch to keep the critters out we'll sneak off to our movie. I really miss my girlfriends from Augusta lately but I think its just because I've made very few friends in the time I've been here. I've met a few of my neighbors, who are top notch people, but they're mostly visit over the fence people, not hang out and do anything people. I have 1 friend on post who I can only take in small doses and then Breckan, who's only here on weekends. I guess if I give it time I'll settle in. It just always frustrates me how long it takes me to make friends. I generally have good luck with the ones I do make, it just takes a while.
Alright, I'm gonna try to go back to bed for a while. We're having company for breakfast in 6 hours and I'm so not ready to be up yet! xoxo
Oh, this is Breckan and her dress:

Nutrisystem huh? I thought about trying that, but I think it would be too hard to cook for Brian and the kids, then not get to eat. Also, too expensive for me! I'm just trying to cook more healthy and get more excercise and watch less tv for now. If I could drop 50 pounds I'd be set! Good Luck on your diet!
umm so how much is this nutrisystem and are u hungry a lot?? needing mofre details here. 50 lbs... yes please?!
My goal is 40 pounds...we're all in the same boat I guess...ugh, Hess genes. Hey! You have me to hang out with now!
