new years resolution

so i haven't made a new years resolution in a long time, and i don't think that i have ever actually followed ones that i would make--but this year will be different. i will be getting married in november and i refuse to feel uncomfortable in my dress. when i went to look at dresses with my mom i felt so out of place, i felt so big and awkward around the other brides and it was not a fun experience...i want to loose weight, i want to firm back up, and i want to get healthy. when i go back and try on dresses again-i don't want to be afraid to go stand in front of the mirror in front of other brides-to-be, i want to be comfortable with my arms and stomach and i want to be in a size 8 dress...yes that's my goal, a size 8 dress! now when i tried on dresses there was a size 8 that fit me pretty well-didn't like the dress, but the 8 fit...so i think my dream would be a size 6, but my goal is a size 8.

now, you may ask, how do you expect to reach this goal? well like sooo many other americans i want to work out, and eat right. my plan is to cut back on bread-and what bread i do eat is mostly wheat. cut back on sweets, and virtually cut out cokes, including mt dew-ahhhh. when school starts-and i start STUDENT TEACHING i plan on taking my lunch and taking decently healthy lunches.
the other part of this-the working out part...amanda and i have talked about going to work out in the gym that is at our apartment complex at least a few times a week, but on top of this i want to use the wii that i have...i have the wii, i have wii fit, and now the new addition is the jillian michael's wii game...

with all of these, and with support from mom and drew and amanda i hope to get my goal, and even get my dream...

never thought i would post this, but according to the wii-i weigh 159 today, and i believe my goal weight is 140, so i addition to the weight loss, i want to fit into the size 8 dress by november.

keep me, and all of the others whose new years resolution are to loose weight, in your thoughts and prayers.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
