When it hit me that my dress fitting was just around the corner I started feeling like this…
How was April 16th already here? Why didn’t I workout more and eat less? Either way, yesterday was the day… dress fitting number 1. Yesterday ended up going extremely well and although my dress wasn’t falling off of me, it fit well and looked great.
So what tips do I have for fellow brides based on my experience?
1. Start the day by burning some calories!
2. Eat a healthy breakfast
3. Take a shower, shave your legs, and do your hair
4. Do your makeup
5. Bring one of your bridesmaids (Oh and grabbing an iced coffee doesn’t hurt either)
6. Gawk over your bridesmaid’s dress
7. Send your Mom pictures of your dress and the bustle
(sorry guys, you’ll have to see pictures come July 7, 2012)
8. Go on a hot date with your fiancé that evening
9. Focus on your weight loss and fitness goals in preparation for dress fitting number 2 (June 4, 2012) — Maybe I’ll end up looking like this!?!
10. Get a great night’s sleep and move onward
Again, yesterday was a lot of fun and I’m excited for dress fitting number 2. I do hope to lose 5-10 pounds before the wedding, just so I feel great in my dress, but as long as I don’t gain weight I’ll be happy.
So let’s talk about my body weight for a hot second. I will actually have a big post on this tomorrow but I didn’t want to leave y’all hanging… I GAINED WEIGHT for the second week in a row. Blah! To be honest though, I’m not too down about it. Since getting sick a few weeks ago I’ve been taking Prednisone 3 times a day which 100% causes weight gain. Prednisone is a steroid so weight gain was inevitable. Thankfully I am now off of Prednisone so hopefully I can start to turn things around…
Week 3 Body Revolution Results
Heaviest weight (Fall 2006) – 261 pounds
Body Revolution starting weight – 229.4 pounds
Week 2 weight (April 10, 2012) – 229.2 pounds
Today’s weight (April 17, 2012) – 231.6 pounds
Week 3 results – gained 2.4 pounds
Total Weight Loss on Body Revolution – gained 2.2 pounds
More to come tomorrow. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

When I was taking Prednisone, I thought it also gave me trouble breathing. If your workouts aren’t going quite normally, you might be able to blame it on Prednisone.
Of course, I was taking Prednisone because I was having trouble breathing, but there seemed to be some other strange thing going on with my lungs once I started taking it. Also, I was recovering from pneumonia and pregnant, so those may have been factors.

So glad that the fitting went well. And you have a GREAT attitude about weight loss before the wedding. No matter what, you will look and feel beautiful that day!

Hahaha, your first picture is great! So cute!! Yay for a fun day! Love your make-up, you look so pretty!
Love your pictures – you are gorgeous! Your advice for the wedding dress fitting was great and it’s great you’re not too hung up on the weight gain, you need to give yourself a break yeah?! Can’t wait to read tomorrow’s post. Oh, reading this post made me think of this article I saw yesterday. While I know Daily Mail is not the most reputable news service, I thought this was kind of horrific and terrible : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2130555/Has-wedding-dress-diet-gone-far-Bridezillas-pay-1-500-fed-nose-drips-shed-20lbs-TEN-days.html?ito=feeds-newsxml
Hey Lou! Thank you so much for your message. I saw that story yesterday was was appalled. I can’t imagine feeling like I have to go to such great lengths to lose weight.
I remember my first fitting and my wedding day it was an amazing experience! You are gorgeous and I am sure you will look amazing on your wedding day, just stick to your workouts and to a healthy diet and the weight will melt

I love the blue dress…very pretty color. Glad to see you had a good day yesterday.
Thank you Dawn!
Found you blog looking for the Jillian Michaels Revolution. I love your writing. I have a question the make-up in the picture above with the blush and eye shadow what brand is that. I travel a lot and would love to condense down my make-up but can’t find anything I like. Thanks enjoying your blog.
Hey Laryssa! Welcome to Coffee, Cake and Cardio!! My compact is actually from Mary Kay. The great thing is it hold little brushes in the bottom of the case and you can switch out any of the colors. I love it!
