It is Monday morning after all. Getting up was hard this morning.
Here are the two dresses I have chosen for the wedding and wedding activities. I will need more than two, but since I needed two new ones for the main events, I got two with the same/similar colors. Here is one:
and here is the other one.
I bought a necklace that goes with both. Actually, the dresses I bought had been packaged, so the clerks helped me make pictures of identical dresses.
I have been working off and on all weekend to get my Dad's bank accounts togetherto take to the Medicaid office. I had all but about 6 months worth. My sil sent them to me via email, so I had to scan and download them. Then, to make matters more annoying, we think, remember I said think, they have not been giving him credit for his drug plans and his meds have cost too much for about 8-10 months. He doesn't take too many meds, so it should not be so expensive since he has some kind of medical plans also. Oh, well, I am not worrying about it right now. It makes me nuts.
I have decided to be more active since the worst of the winter weather is gone for now. I know we can have some days of bad weather, but the longest/worst of winter is behind us....right where all the extra poundage packed up and stayed with me. lol.
Okay, I would like to lose a few pounds by the wedding. I think the dresses will look better with less of me in them. So I have decided to try the "more activity" route instead of so much calorie watching. So many diets don't work for me since I have so many digestive problems. Rather than get those parts in an uproar, I will increase my activity. Wish me luck.
My Day starts HERE!
Edit# 1: Younger son just invited me to meet him for a sandwich for lunch. Yes! Now I can practice my wiser eating choices. Translation? He will pay for lunch and I will not order too much food! lol

I noticed, as well as for myself, that a few other of my buddies are weight conscious too. So sounds pretty good to shed the "winter pounds"... The dresses are great. I am strickly a tee shirt and slacks or jean skirts, thats the extent of my fashion.. I wouldnt even know what to pick if I had to buy something special like that.. beautiful outfits girl...
I really like that grey dress!
They are both lovely!
The dresses are very nice. You will look snazzy! Good luck with the exercise.
Believe it or not, both dresses are sage green. That is such a good color on me....really.
I like the second one very springy other then that they are very nice. You have a good day
Both outfits look nice and "floaty".
Enjoy lunch with your son!
Oh and we slept in this morning - I forgot to set my alarm, so it was bedlam in the Lang household this AM. But everyone got to school and work on time - phew!
I thought the 1st dress was grey also-it's a pretty style--very nice! Will look forward to seeing them on you! Aren't you glad that is over with?
Good luck with the activity. I haven't been on a diet either--jsut , as you said--increasing my activity by going to the Y. TRYING to eat a little less than normal, but definitely not on a diet. I need to pick up my skirt today from the alteration lady & I have no idea what it is going to cost. *hugs*
The dresses are a good choice and the color are so soft and pretty, and you will look beautiful in them, have a great day and good luck with your life style change i won't say the diet word lol but i too need to get busy fining what works best for me in the weight area. have a blessed day are i guess i should say evening. for it after 4:00pm and now i have to go to work . catch up with you soon,

I want that #1 dress AND that necklace that appears to be floating on the neck of the no-head mannequin. Lovely!!!
@coffeeiv - You know, the necklace is really good with the outfit. The neck on the floral dress looks kinda funky, but it is nice on me. I am fat enough to fill in all the hollows of the neck, so it looks good.
Now to find the shoes to work with the outfits.
@closethippie -
Shoes??? AAUUGH! I have to have professional help with shoes. I tend to choose either for comfort OR style and end up looking either slouchy or in pain from too-cool shoes.
Be careful.
Pretty dresses, you will out shine everyone. I need to get into a good activity like walking now that the weather is getting warmer I should be able to do that
Pretty dresses! Our snow is all gone, and it was a lot warmer today. I am ready to bring on spring!
Yes, you are right! Griping, whining parents and their kids are getting old. I think parents/kids just want things to be so easy, so dumbed down that all the kid has to do is show up, turn something in, and they should be rewarded with A's and B's, and nothing less than honor roll. Well, the day I start giving grades to make MYSELF look better is when I am ready to leave education all together.
Both dresses are gorgeous. The second one looks so cheerful and summery. The first one is my favorite though----so elegant. Perfect for a wedding. Love the necklace, too. Good choice, Cyn!! Wish I could find things like that around here. But, first I have to find someplace to wear them! Nieces and nephews all married, and our grands don't seem too inclined to marriage yet. The older ones are more interested in finishing college.
I definitely need the "more activity" route. I have been a couch potato all winter, and it shows. Not weight-wise---have been careful about that, and don't need any more weight, but I can tell I don't have much stamina. I am getting very anxious to get outside, but still a lot of ice out there. Yuck.
that first one is beautiful and that second one is fun and feminine looking.
well, I know here in Texas with the drug plan they give you like $600 each year but after that is gone the price goes up to normal. So something mom will get dicounted for $5 might be $50 when the $600 is used up.
we all want to be in a size 12 again but it's not going to happen over night and you didn't gain it over night so just be consistant if you can(I'm trying to talk to me at the same time.)
will you all be going to the same salon to get your hair done? it's fun when you do and that way you can hear the girls talking and so excited. I of course went last because I wanted the wedding party to go first. We were there for hours
wow, i love the second one. the first one is also great, but i love colors
ryc: yah, it's great to grow, but i wish it wasn't as painful sometimes...
tee hee, yeah, i want everything and with least expenses on my side. pathetic, huh? 
*hug* have a good lunch with your son

Both dresses are beautiful. I'm also doing the fitness thing. I've been trying to train for a 5k sometime in the summer.
Not really doing to well on the treadmill. waiting for the snow to melt and the mud to dry. Have a great day and week. : )
The dresses are GORGEOUS!!! I really like the top one. Beautiful. I have found that more activity and fewer "wasted" calories (e.g., sugar) have helped me a lot. I've done a whole lot of walking in Orlando. And I'm starting to fall away.
@mimiwi - I have lost a bit over the winter. How weird is that? But not nearly enough, especially since I was just trying to be more careful.
