Those amongst my fans that read my Livejournal, my blog Points for Creativity, my Facebook, or even just listen to my fevered mutterings and occasional bursts of song in line at the grocery store know that I have my own personal motivational speaker/evil genius, April. The other day, April texts me and says, "You know have a fan club on Facebook." Sure enough, she has begun Get Jess to the Dress, a page predicated upon some very basic concepts:
1. I am getting married within the year.
2. I am a chubbo. (my words, not April's. :)
3. I have terrible habits and require shame and dismay to break them.
4. Friends are great at providing shame, er, support.
And thus, Get Jess to the Dress was born. I felt the least I could do was offer some insights, and possibly amusement as a parallel offering to April's motivation and so have begun this blog as a personal memoir of what I hope will be a successful loss of at least seventy pounds before my wedding. As with all my blogging forays, there will be grumping and grousing, no doubt, and occasional Naughty Words, though I will try to keep them to a minimum. Mostly this will be somewhere for me to take the triumphs and frustrations of getting in shape and planning a wedding and attempt to make them hilarious reading for you even as I sweat, swear, and vow to stuff my face directly in a vat of cream cheese and chocolate.
Today's breakfast:
Grapefruit half...oh my stars, the decadence...
Today's planned exercise:
Chasing a toddler and attempting a "run" later. (my running is, at this time, still a swift, shambling walkish looking thing, much like a particularly upbeat zombie)
