Better Late then Never...
I did it! I got on the treadmill the other day (not a week+ ago like I had hoped for). I told myself if I at least worked out for 20 minutes, I'd let myself go get a pedicure. My feet were hurting so bad from the shoes I'd been wearing (and I wanted the pedicure so bad to make them feel better) that I actually got on the treadmill and worked out for 25 minutes. Yeah!! In the mean time, I've been eating healthier and lost 4 pounds since my last blog entry. Not bad... 4 months until the wedding, so I need to keep going!! (Pray for me) :0).
I put some more earrings on my website today (and renewed a bunch of listings too), so don't forget to check them out. (I sat down and made about 15 pairs of earrings today that I'm really excited about, so please stop back in the days to come)....
Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!

Found the Camera, Now I Need to Find Some Willpower...
The good news is that I found my camera and will once again be listing new jewelry on Etsy :0). I just listed a great pair of summery earrings that are LIGHTWEIGHT and FUN!!
Now I need to find some willpower to lose weight before my wedding in September. My dress has been ordered and it was purposely ordered a size smaller than the dress size I currently fit into (OK, so it's about an inch from zipping too) at the bridal shoppe. I intentionally am forcing myself to lose weight only b/c I know I won't be happy w/the photos of me in my dress at my current weight. (Let's just say I'm 65 pounds heavier than I was in college when I felt my "best"/"hottest").
The goal is reasonable - lose 25 pounds in the next 5 months. (Admittedly, when I was 65 pounds skinnier, my clavical bone and ribs stuck out. I was a bit TOO skinny at that time). That will put me at the weight I was when I met my fiancee 2+ years ago and I can live w/that. More importantly, my dress will fit :0). The problem is - I have ZERO, ZILTCH, MINUS ZERO motivation to work out. I hate working out!! Years ago, I was a competitive gymnast and worked out several days a week for hours at a time. I loved it then (b/c I felt healthy and fit), but loathe it now. I think the only way I'm going to be able to make myself do this is to be accountable. So, as embarrassing (and annoying to some) as this might be - I'm going to add bits about this journey to my blog. -And if anyone out there wants to be an accountability partner, let me know. We could support each other :0).
As far as today goes - on the way back from the bridal shop, I kept telling myself I was going to get on my treadmill. Once I got home though, I decided it was a nice, sunny day here in Ohio and I wanted to tan my legs on the back deck. So I did. But I didn't eat the ice cream bar or drink the Pepsi that's in my fridge/freezer. Eating better is half the battle, so I will give myself props for successfully sticking to that part of the plan today. Tomorrow, my goal is to get on the treadmill or take a walk around my neighborhood for at least 30 minutes. I'll keep you posted....
