This is me every morning at 6:30 a.m. And then at 5 p.m. And then again at 6 p.m. after I’ve convinced myself that yeah, I can work out in my one bedroom apartment.
Wednesday’s are weird…

How Much Would You Pay Me to Wear This Dress to My Cousin’s Wedding?
The Carroll Family at Uncle Tom and Aunt Eileen's Wedding, 1993. You know you love this picture.
Ok, not the floral one I’m so elegantly sporting in the pic above (but that can be arranged too since it still fits) but the spicy black number my mom is rocking. Hard.
Those that know me know I’ve been obsessed with this dress since the day it fatefully entered into our lives, and I’m getting the feeling (mostly because I don’t want to go shopping) that it needs to come out of retirement Dec. 4.
But I do need a little coaxing, because this dress…it’s a lot of look. The last time I tried to pull it off was when I was invited to my cousin Matt’s graduation dinner at West Point. I was promptly disinvited until I could find something more appropriate to wear. To say I was disappointed would be grossly understated.
Weight Loss Week Eight: Success is Counted Sweetest
This Week’s Loss -0.9
Total Weight Loss: -8.9
So it hasn’t all been Chipotle burritos and Zumba classes (well, yes, yes it has) but we’ve finally reached wedding week and I’m .9 lbs under my goal weight. Yay!
This week (and the prior week) can mostly be attributed to seeing a mouse in my apartment and refusing to eat while inside said apartment or buy groceries. That mouse might have been a godsend.
So, the shoes are bought, the dress is shortened, and all is right with the world. My next goal is another 5 lbs for my cousin Lindsey’s wedding in December, but there definitely needs to be a break in between this journey and the next. This shiz is hard! Til next time peeps!!
P.S. If you can name the inspiration for the title of this post, I will love you forever. And no Google-ing!
