This Year's First Countdown (EIGHT DAYS to go....)

In eight days, I will be going for my first bridesmaid fitting of the year.  I am TERRIFIED.  I am nervous to try on dresses, and I am more than dreading getting my measurements taken.  I have to keep reminding myself that I am ONLY 3 months postpartum.  I have signed up for MyFitnessPal.com and have committed to taking Zumba on Thursday nights.  In addition, I am doing bathroom resistance training at work and am trying to squeeze in some Zumba or walking on my lunch breaks.  Still, seeing the numbers will not be easy.  I have to keep reminding myself that I have worked to reduce the stress and unhealthiness in my work life and that the past three and a half years have been very very difficult mentally and emotionally.  And now I feel vibrant and interesting and fun.  The weight will come off…I have to tell myself that this, too, shall pass….
