Day 90: 3 more months!

I can't even believe that in 3 months from today I will be walking down the aisle, and by this time, I will be a MRS!!!!!! I know I know... everyone said the engagement would go by fast. I thought they were all liars. They weren't. And now here we are 3 months until be the big day and i still have a shit ton to do! Is anyone a wedding planner? Personal consultant? Personal trainer? Want to work for free? Didn't think so..... 3 months!!!!!!
Ok, ok, I'm beating around the bush... anyone who reads my blog regularly, or at least read it last night knows that today is the day that I tried on my wedding dress. Before I tell you how the fitting went, (and those of you who are my friends on FB, don't ruin it!)let me again recap how it went in September..... picture it...... the end of my engagement party..... me, upstairs with family, future family, and friends. "ooooooo! Let's see the dress! OOOOOOOOOOO! Put it on!!!!!!!" (me~ struggle, struggle, grunt, sweat, grunt, squeeze, suck it in, no breathing) "Oh. um. nice. or something. um. I don't QUITE remember it doing THAT when you bought it. Hm. Let me just adjust.... uh never mind. Let's loosen it a bit shall we? Oh. Iit IS loosened. Great. Well. Then. Um. Maybe if we just..... no? Ok. Well. Hm. Don't freak out or anything, but perhaps, and this is just a SUGGESTION of course, um, but PERHAPS you need to start eating just yogurt again for lunch and counting calories again.... liiiiiike yesterday. Perhaps. Or something....................." So yeah. That's pretty much how it went. Not a pretty memory. Today, standing in the same room as I had been in September, but this time 22lbs lighter, I held my breath. The dress emerged from the closet. It looked a looooooot smaller than I remembered. Just me and my future aunt this time. 30 seconds later (after finding my way through the maze of crinoline) I emerged unscathed through the neck hole. "Go ahead and tighten it!" I happily called. "I already did!!!!!!" was the reply! WOOOHOOOOO! We cheered. And screamed. And hugged. And screamed some more. Poor John was downstairs wondering if these were screams of joy or screams of agony. We assured him that all was well. After more hugging, a bit of twirling, and a few pictures, I said goodbye to my beauty. I haven't stopped smiling since.

I won't get into everything that I ate today.... but let's just say that I think I found my horse.... and it may have inadvertantly gotten deep fried somewhere along the way...... I think I need a new one. Monday. It's happening. Despite my victory today, I know I still have 8 lbs to go (probably more like 11-12 after today.....) and I need to tighten my abs and tone my arms. I may be 1/2 way done, but I still have a ways to go!!!!!

90 days down.... 90 days to go!!!!!!!
