Forever and a Day...

...Since I last posted! It feels like we've started and then stopped our weight loss attempts a ton of times in the time that we've been dating. But I finally have a real, immediate, tangible goal to work my butt off  for...
I'M ENGAGED!!!
Uly proposed 2 weeks ago in Yosemite and we're looking a July wedding which means I need to get my butt in gear FAST.  Engagement photos are looming on the horizon and I gotta get hot for them!
I've finally come to terms with the fact that if I don't go to the gym first thing in the morning, I don't go. And if I don't set my alarm and MAKE myself get up and go, I get lazy.  Thus I've been getting up and going to the gym BEFORE class in the mornings and getting up early on my days off and going then, as well.  I'm aiming for the gym on Mon/Tues/Thurs/Fri but so far I've only gotten there 2 out of 4 days.  This week I've already made it Monday and Tuesday so we'll cross our fingers for Thursday and Friday!!
I'm already down 6 pounds which is awesome and super motivating.  My ring was tight right at first but now it almost falls off my finger! I've been watching what I eat and making sure to drink tons of water which...Doesn't make me feel any different but I feel better knowing I'm hydrating my body.
I'll try and post more often and maybe at the 10lb mark I'll repost those horrific photos! :P
