I suppose I should update

I picked up my wedding dress on Friday, and I was expecting to cry when I tried it on, but I really felt nothing. I guess it just hasn't hit me yet that I will be getting married in six months. I was very relieved that the dress fit me- but barely. So it has motivated me to get back into gear with eating right and exercising.

I have this habit of sabotaging my success. I will lose weight and feel great (to date, the lowest weight that I have achieved has been 133) and then I will feel like it's ok to eat unhealthy things and stop going to the gym. And then I get on the scale a week later and have gained four pounds.

I've spent a week not eating any sorts of processed foods/crap and I have to tell you, I notice a HUGE difference in the amount of energy that I have and just how my body looks and feels in general. I'm back down to 133 pounds, and I still have a few more pounds to lose before the wedding.

I am also excited that all of the bridesmaid dresses and attendant dresses have been ordered for the wedding! Our colors are light pink and gray (I wanted an antique feeling) and so the bridesmaids are wearing the dress in "Shadow":



And their shoes are dyed a light pink. They will be carrying pink flowers.

The attendants will be wearing the same dress, but in the petal pink:



Ok, so the shade of pink looks nothing like the color that is in the swatches. But they will be wearing the same shoes, but in the shadow gray.

I splurged and bought each of the bridesmaids REAL pearl earrings (they each come with their own certificate of authenticity/appraisal!) I am pretty excited about them.
