(First, don’t forget about the contest! It’s running through the end of the month, as is the free shipping promotion.)
So I started going to Weight Watchers meetings last week. I went to meetings back in 2006, before I got pregnant, and they didn’t really work for me. I did better before my wedding (in 2005) by only using WW online. But I wanted to try the meetings again because deep down, I know I didn’t give WW my full attention back in 2006. Clearly, because I lost like three pounds in 3 months. Sad.
The only meeting that really works for me time-wise is the Thursday evening one. It’s at 5:30, and George has been great about doing the parenting solo-style while I go. But the problem with a Thursday afternoon meeting is that, well, you’re weighing in at 5:30 pm, not 6:30 am. It just bugs me that I have a whole day’s worth of food and drink in me when I step on the scale.
(Don’t worry, I understand that if I’m losing weight, it will still show up, but still.)
I have to get two cavities filled, so I decided to set my dentist appointment for tomorrow morning so I won’t be able to eat too much in the afternoon. Genius, yes? It’s good because my friend Tee and I are going to the grand opening of the new Pinkberry frozen yogurt place here tomorrow night (yes, we are fancy) and I want to be able to put sprinkles on my yogurt, dammit.
So, regarding weight loss. Let me post a picture of what I looked like at my lowest weight.

Okay, I’m not positive I was at my lowest weight there (this was about a year before my wedding) but damn, I was stylish back then, wasn’t I?
Anyway, don’t make me post a picture of myself now. Let’s just say I have a long way to go before I can fit into that red satin jacket again.
Ya gotta have goals, after all!

You are still beautiful and a great mother.
Love,

I have to admit… I love that pink skirt. I would wear it to work tomorrow if given the opportunity. Then all my coworkers would be in awe at my fashion sense, as usual.

You failed to mention that you are work’n your fiercest Sex and The City stylings in that photo. Isn’t there a picture of Kristina as sytled on SATC too? Remember that season ender where the girls partied on Samantha’s roof (in horrendous summer attire) having cocktails with the trannies. Good times!
And, as my personal Carrie Bradshaw, I totally agree with Dee! You are gorg. Always! xoxo -SB

Hee hee, you’re right, Chris, but isn’t it funnier to make people think I really dressed like that?
Hope Kristina doesn’t kill me for this…

Love the outfit!
The reason why evening meetings didn’t work for me was because the only other thing I would rather be doing at 6:30 is eating…so I would go to a meeting and then talk about food for an entire hour. I just felt hungry, not empowered, but usually a trip to La Hacienda made me feel better 😉

YES! YES! Yes! That’s my all-time favorite picture. Kristina totally captured the essence of Ms Bradshaw. LOL.
Sorry for ruining your fashion creed by calling out the SATC parody. Whatevs. You got mad style! I’ve seen the sparkly shoes!
