The scale said 165.0 today!!! . This was my wedding day goal weight and the wedding is 16 days away! My “stretch goal” is 163 which would mark 40 lbs lost on WW and 60 pounds lost overall since I started my wellness journey in 2010. . It’s been a slow slog to get here this year, but since Thanksgiving I’ve been really focused and the scale has finally caught up! . My last dress fitting is on Saturday and I’m just thrilled! . #weightloss #weightlossjourney #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #wwbride #wwbridetobe #wwemployee https://www.instagram.com/p/CXd1BwjrMcP/?utm_medium=tumblr

So, I started weight watchers on Monday. Today is day 5. Monday and Tuesday were rough. Felt like I was starving because I'm used to eating so much! Also, on day two, one of the doctors at work decided to buy us all pizza... but I didn't fall for it! I was so proud of myself! Day three was a little easier. Day four I had insane chocolate cravings. I wanted all the junk food. I caved and had two truffles, but still stayed within my points. Today went really well. I went 2 points over today, but that's okay! I've noticed my energy level has already drastically increased. Which makes me so so so so happy! Being constantly tired is the worst, especially when you have two young kids you're chasing around! My starting weight was 284 lbs. I'm excited for my weigh in on Tuesday!

Can we take a moment and talk about my BACK! . This is an *edited 😜* picture of me in my wedding dress I bought last week. My back was the part of me I cared least about in a dress, especially since I plan to wear my hair down, but HELLO! . I’m someone with a toned back! Who knew?! Let’s be clear my back hasn’t always been toned, but since doing BodyPump it apparently has become that way. Winning! . I’m really pleased with how I looked in my dress last week, even without Spanx! My focus is to tone my arms, see if I slim my belly down a bit more, and work on my pecs so my strapless bra won’t have to work too hard to keep my girls where they should be! . #fitnessmotivation #fitnessgoals #bodypump #lesmillsbodypump #bodypositivity #wwbride #wwbridetobe https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqmiVdBqbr/?igshid=c3h4zydln5s0

Booked my destination wedding planning/venue scouting trip to Portugal today! My international travel soul sister D is coming with me Oct 31-Nov 4. . My fiancé and I are looking at a Fall 2020 wedding at an ocean front location (these pics are of some front runners)! I’ve been side hustling so hard for good reason and will continue to so we have an epic wedding and honeymoon that we’ve paid for ourselves in full! . #destinationwedding #portugal🇵🇹 #wwbride #debtfreejourney #debtfreecommunity https://www.instagram.com/measuringlife/p/Bwnc6tPDtN0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=131yakun3xw1

Rings have been my latest NSV (non-scale victory). . I used wear a lot of rings in my younger years and then I guess when it was gaining/losing weight I stopped wearing them. This was true until I got engaged in 2017. . I did get my engagement ring resized after being on WW and I didn’t think much about my other rings. Actually during most of the pandemic I’ve worn my silicone ring in lieu of my engagement ring but when I stated my new job I decided to wear it even thought I’m still working from home. . A few weeks ago I pulled out the peridot ring since it is my August birthstone and also has inspired to get my power nails done and a similar hue. Then yesterday I pulled out my ring I got in Dublin to see how it would fit as more of an every day ring for my right finger as opposed to the peridot. . This peridot ring by the way is from my childhood I think I got it for my birthday when I was around 10 years old. It’s crazy to think how chubby my little fingers must’ve been perhaps I had it resized at some point - I don’t recall. Now I can comfortably wear it on my middle finger. . #weightloss #weightlossjourney #nsv #myww #wwbride #fitnessmotivation https://www.instagram.com/p/CSsM41zL3Yy/?utm_medium=tumblr
