mars2kids's Journal, 20 April 2015

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!

Did you find a nice dress? I hope you get better soon.

Thanks! I found a dress, it's pretty plain, but I like it. Now, to figure out what shoes to wear with it. I'm not girly enough for all this. :)

If you plan on dancing a lot then maybe flats but heels look much better off course. Some women go in heels and bring flats with them for just in case the pain is too big. I once borrowed my sisters shoes. Man, my feet were not used to the heel, I could barely walk home and it was just 10 mins away. When I took of the shoes my feet were double the size.

Happy dancing in your new dress! The tag does not matter - how you carry yourself does! Be proud of all your hard work.

Mars2kids-a plan dress is good, find some blingy accessories to go with it and you can wear it over and over with different stuff and no one will ever noticed it's the same dress. In any case, if the size on the label bothers you-chop that thing right out. That's right-snip snip with the scissors and now it's whatever size you feel like it should be. You are wearing the dress-it's not wearing you.

You are doing good despite being sick, have you tried going and sweating it out for 45 minutes in a sauna? I find that helps me
