It's been a long week since my last journal. Last week I came down with strep throat and sinus infection. I'm still battling the sinus infection part, but I'm starting to feel better. I feel like I can't win right now, I get motivated and start eating better and exercising, then I get sick and lose all of that. I just need to press on. I'm feeling a little better today so I need to use that to my advantage and hold onto my will power and not eat junk. Whenever I'm sick I just eat junk and lose all my motivation and just get a negative attitude, so I'm sure I've gained, but I'm not weighing in right now until I feel more like myself.
In more positive news, my brother is getting married this weekend! I'm excited for him and looking forward to the wedding. I've been looking for a dress and still have nothing, but I'm going to go today on my lunch break to try to find something. Not feeling well last week didn't help my motivation to shop for a dress. I've gained weight since last year, so the dresses I wore to weddings last year fit, but not the best, so I'm going to try to find something in a better size/fit. Trying on dresses that don't have a great fit on me right now doesn't help my attitude, so I want to find something that looks good on me even if it may be a size bigger than what I want to wear. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and come to terms with reality, I am not the size I was last year and that's okay because I am working on it and I don't have to fit into a certain size to still have a good time and be happy at the wedding. No one will be looking at me anyway, all eyes will be on the beautiful bride. :)
So my main goals for the week are to just get to feeling better and to find a dress. If I can get any sort of exercise in, even if it's only a short walk, I'm going to try to do that too. And I'm going to try to get my eating back in line, being able to work this week should help with that a little since I won't have the access to junk food.
Have a great Monday!
