Christmas Dress Challenge – Week Thirteen – The Dress!!

I’m sitting here at the kitchen table; my youngest son is here with me, procrastinating about studying life science for his mid-term; my husband and older son are outside hanging Christmas lights; my younger daughter is hanging ornaments on the tree and laughing at Whiskey Bob as he tries to attack dangling ribbons and doodads.  I love Sundays.

Weight:  Back to normal, 156.5

DO-IT:  The Dress. Done. In fact, I’m going to wear it tonight for a Christmas Party.  edit…jump ahead a few hours to party time…

 That is a stunning red dress, if I do say so myself.  I ended up with a size 12 but oh gracious, it’s a snug 12! It’s still an entire size down from where I started in September. Just to let you know how hard I’ve been working out…no spanx under there, no control top hose, no shapewear.  Just a regular slip. And a very pushy up bra.

DO-IT: My  Weight Watchers points. Kept to the dailies, which are now 26. Thank you WW for looking out for me.

DO-IT: Earn 50 activity points a week. Yes! Oh my gosh, I’m back in business.  68 points this week, including a bike ride, two kettle bell training sessions and self-defense, and a couple of hours on the elliptical.

DO-IT: Consistency. I must be the most boring, predictable person on earth. Really.

DO-IT: Hydrate.  Done.  Lots of hot tea because it’s cold here, dang it!

DO-IT:Read a Book.  Bad Girl!  I didn’t read at all this week.  Well, not my book.  Instead I read a case study for my continuing education requirement for my engineering license, I read two infiltration reports for a sewer line project, and I read an environmental impact statement for a project site.  No ‘fun’ reading at all!

DO-IT: One update post a week. And yes, it was about my behind.

DO-IT: Link up to your weekly updates.  Done for sure, this week!

DO-IT:  Be supportive. Yes!  And I’ll visit you all this week, too!

Look! It’s me and Mr. Pea!

Wear a Red Dress!  Keep the Faith.
