Well, another low week, as I had predicted. I only really had two days where I didn’t eat as well as I’ve been eating, but I had 5 nights where I wasn’t at my own house, and that always makes things difficult. I’m still happy with the loss, as that brings me to an even 20 pounds. Not bad for 8 weeks.
Good news though. I found out on Monday that I GOT THE JOB that I interviewed for. I’m so excited! My first real job. So now things are going as I hoped…I’ll leave Pennsylvania on July 17. The movers should arrive with my stuff on July 19, or there abouts. And then I start my new job on July 30! Yay!
It’s still going to be a rough month, because I have to get through packing, a wedding, moving, unpacking, and starting the new job, but it is all things I’m looking forward to (except the packing part).
On another note, I finally got to try on my bridesmaid dress. It was a disaster! The dress is gorgeous, but they ordered it sizes too big. And not like “I lost 20 pounds, so this doesn’t fit now” but “We don’t know how to order the right size”. The dress just fell off of me. It’s supposed to be strapless, but the part that was supposed to be above my chest was below it. And I have a big chest. Geeze! It just came in last Tuesday. And the shop said they need 4-6 weeks for alterations, and they weren’t even open when I was there in town. The wedding is July 14! We took it to a friend of the bride’s mom, and she said to do it properly, the whole top would have to be taken apart and resized, and there isn’t time for that. She’s going to try to do a quick fix so that it is at least wearable. I have a feeling after the “quick fix” that I won’t be able to get it fixed properly, but maybe I’ll lose so much weight it won’t matter. It is such a nice dress, and I could totally wear it again. Oh well. I just hope it works out so my friend doesn’t have to worry about it. Oh, and her wedding dress is gorgeous. I can’t wait to see her in it!
So that’s how the rest of the month is looking. I don’t know if I’ll reach my mini-goal of 28.8 pounds gone by August 1. 8.8 pounds is looking like a lot to ask for this month. But once I get situated in my new place, things should go a lot better!
