Weigh-In Wednesdays

I am so frustrated. Can you believe I only lost one friggin pound? One pound! I worked so hard all week and the stupid scale tells me I only lost one pound. Maybe it's because Aunt Flo is visiting and i'm more bloated than a beached whale, I have to tell myself something otherwise i'm liable to give up prematurely. Alright, alright, I know it's only been one week but isn't that supposed to be your best week ( just watch Biggest Loser). It can get very discouraging when you don't see results for all your hard work. Oh well, I gues i'll just keep trying.
Is anyone else having issues with their weight loss progress? Well Ladies, TTFN (ta ta for now)

Project Updates

I've been a busy bee these last 2 days working on my cardbox. Remember I showed you a picture of the card box that I wanted fromThe Wedding Main Street, it costs $119 plus shipping and taxes. Well I decided that I didn't want to pay that amount of money for a cardbox, plus it just wasn't in the budget, so...

I thought that maybe I should try to make one myself considering how great a DIYer I am. (modest right?) So I shopped around for aqua wrapping paper cuz I didn't think I could paint or spray paint a box well enough. Anyway it turned out that I found Tiffany wrapping paper from Sophie's Favor's, a little on the pricey side at $11.99 but the boxes were free from the shoe store and I bought the ribbon from Michael's for about $2 and the rhinestones for $1 for a pack of 120. So all in all, it cost me about $15 for my pretty cardbox.
So ladies, tell me what you think. TTFN (ta ta for now)

OUCH, OUCH, OUCH!

I am so sore all over from my exercising. I am once again a novice at this and my whole body aches. Going down stairs or stepping down from the car or the bed is excruciating. I expected to feel this way however and I know it will get better over time so I'm hanging in there. On the plus side I have alot more in spite of it beimg only 2 days since I started.

I'm doing the Slim in 6 program and i'm loving it so far in spite of the soreness. I just might lick this yet.
Tell me what you are doing to get in shape for those pretty dresses, and how you are able to stick with it? In the mean time i'll go rest my aching bones. So ladies, TTFN (ta ta for now).
