So, I went wedding dress shopping tonight. Did I find THE dress? No. But, I did discover that my butt is gigantic. How often do you look at your own behind straight on? I don't think I ever have.... because if I had, I would have stopped eating right that second. It was kind of like its own entity... like "Hey, there's Lacy... and there's her ass".
So, it was a good night and a bad night... I tried on dresses and veils and even jewlery... lots of fun stuff. But, also kind of depressing. I'm mad/sad that I let myself get to this point... where even in a beautiful wedding dress I can barely stand to look at myself in a mirror. And, I was sad that I didn't have anyone with me. My soon-to-be Aunt Coni was helping me try things on (she works at Davids Bridal), so that was nice... but, I didn't have my mom or sister or best friend with me. Oh well. That's what you get when you move 1,000 miles away from home I guess.
Anyhow, I think this was the "motivating factor" I talked about in my last blog. The realness of the wedding, and the realness of my disgustingness (yeah, because thats a word) has set in. Jiggle Free here I come!

It's been too long...
Alright, so I am back from a much too long hiatus. I've been meaning to write for a week or so and just never got around to it.
Things are about the same. Still car shopping/selling (Anyone want a 2004 BMW X3?)... still passively house shopping/selling (Anyone want a 3bed/3bath townhouse?)... still wedding planning (Anyone want to be my wedding planner?). :-) Work is good, life is good, weight loss is okay.
I have a feeling that the day I actually try on wedding dresses will really kick my butt in gear. Luckily, I'm going to do that in a few weeks when my sister flies out, so it isn't too far off. I haven't been doing badly. I've been eating well, I just haven't been exercising. I haven't gained weight, but I've been losing an ity-bity teenie-weenie bit at a time. I'm sure I'll get back in the groove here soon.
So Saturday is Yom Kippur. That means Matt will be fasting from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. I think I may try to fast with him, simply because I'd feel really mean eating infront of him. We will see how that goes, though! On Sunday we might take a drive into the mountains... a co-worker of mine said the Aspen trees are turning color already. If you've never seen them the leaves turn an amazing bright yellow in the fall... it is gorgeous! So, if the weather isn't too horrible, we may do that.
Other than that, life is boring as usual. Oh, and if anyone wants a really cute, but most likely retarded and incapable of using the litter box cat, I have one! I may be throwing her outside before I go insane. :) (Don't go calling PITA... I'm being sarcastic... kinda.)
