Finally Said Yes to This Little Black Dress

So, as you all know... I have been try to find the absolute perfect bridesmaid dress- Summery and short with a twist of vintage. Well it's taken me almost 6 months to find this perfect dress... and I'm proud to FINALLY reveal it.

TAAAAAAAA DDDUUUUHHHHHHHH!

IT'S PERFECTO!

And I'm excited to finally make a step in the right direction.

I would like to add that the only reason I've even found a dress yet is because mom finally convinced me to switch from brown to black. She is wonderful. I think it will make my life easier.

ALSO..............

MY wonderful bridesmaids have been so patient and supportive of this long process. I'm super lucky. Love you all!

Well here's to a huge check off my wedding to-do list :)

Week 1: My Stomach Rumblings are Registering as Minor Earthquakes

It's been a week since I began my new, highly intense diet...

It's been a week of constant hunger pains, stomach rumblings that register on seismographs, and CONSTANT cravings for sweets.

It's been one of the hardest diet I've ever been on. Maybe it's because Halloween was two days ago, and I didn't get to enjoy ANY of that delicious candy... Or maybe it's because I've just now realized how big of a sweet tooth I actually have. In any case, this is a character-building experience... dang it...

BUT... there is an upside to this misery I experience daily....

I've lost SEVEN pounds.

That is a very amazing feat considering the normal weight you lose a week should be about 2 pounds a week. I'm so excited!!! It sometimes makes it feel worth the uncomfortableness to know that there's sooo much progress being made daily.

Now if I could just stop dreaming of icecream covered in homemade chocolate or the sugar cookie blast at Sonic.
