Jaime's So Called Life

I also like to look at it like 10 pounds of butter. That's how much fat has melted from my body since April 4th! For some of you, that may not seem like a lot but for me its a huge milestone!! It is such big news that it's blog worthy! It is the beginning of the end of me being fat. If that makes any sense? And it means I am just that much closer to my goal! The goal of not being fat for my wedding!

What is so awesome is I'm NOT actually "dieting" per se. I have made a complete life style change. I know that sounds so cliché and lame and you’re thinking you’ve heard that before but it’s so true.  I am not cutting anything out, eliminating any food or certain beverages. I dont have that kind of self control! I literally eat what I want. But I account for it by logging every single friggin calorie. And I of course eat and drink less of whatever I am consuming. I’m not going to lie and say I eat the same way I did before. Look how that turned out for me! Can you say “moo”?

 I’ve also been moving more - going to the gym several times a week, walking, parking farther away, taking the stairs, anything to mix it up and burn more calories. Erin and I did some happy hour hopping in downtown Seattle yesterday. In between beers  (and healthier appetizers) we hoofed it to the next place rather than take a cab. Although the taxi (car not driver) did look tempting but not as tempting as trying on wedding dresses a size smaller than I am now!

 At this rate I am destined to be that skinny bride! You just wait and see!
