A zipper really tells you a lot, especially if its on a piece of clothing. A pair of pants, the back of a wedding dress or your favorite zip up hoodie can look great on its own, but if it doesn’t fit you, it makes you wonder… what have I done?
I had my wedding makeup and hair trial this past weekend and everything turned out great! Although I’ve never worn so much makeup in my life, it was definitely a cool experience. It looks great in pictures and hides any blemishes that would look horrible in a picture that you will treasure for the rest of your life. I was looking forward to trying on my wedding dress on with to visualize the whole look, and as I was putting on the dress I figured, it fit me a couple months ago, so no big deal. As my mom zipped me up she said, ‘I can’t zip it to the top!’ and I instantly became upset. It was a shock to me, actually.
What did I do to get to the point I couldn’t zip up my dress to the top? I thought about my eating habits, my mindless snacking and not enough exercise. I went home and did a workout DVD – 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. The next day (and up until now) I can barely move. I am sore beyond belief. I really out did myself and now I can barely move.
I am definitely back in the workout game and eating healthy game as well. I HAVE to fit in my dress and I refuse to alter it out because it doesn’t fit. I will fit in the dress that I originally was able to fit in the day I got it! THAT is a promise.
My name is Susan, and I blog here. This blog is my personal journey to living a healthy and happy life. When you think 'fitness' you think exercise and sweating. But there is more to life than that. Eating mindfully and being happy is also important. That is what this blog is all about.

There’s no better motivation than PANIC when you’ve realized your clothes doesn’t fit!! And I can imagine a wedding dress would be ten times worse. Good luck, you can do it!!
(Yeah, the first day I ever did the 30 Day shred I could barely move either! lol)
My wife made her own wedding dress and it took months; thankfully, she hadn’t started law school yet so her weight was pretty and mass distribution was pretty stable.
Isn’t being sore such a great feeling? I know its awful in the morning, but in the back of your mind, you know you had a great workout. I feel worse after a workout if I don’t feel sore. It always makes me feel like I left something at the gym.
Good luck with the wedding planning!
