Day 4 of 100 - I have 47 days to lose 25 lbs!!!

PANIC!!  PANIC!!  PANIC!!

PANIC!!  PANIC!!  PANIC!!

 
Ok, here's the deal.  I bought a too-small dress for an event because, well... Kohl's.
 
 
You know the plan:  Lose weight to fit into a certain outfit by the upcoming event.  Except, other than a week spent barely surviving on rice, I've been eating like a longshoreman.  I made Chicken Artichoke Lasagna with more cheese than Wisconsin produces in a calendar year PER SERVING, and then proceeded to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner until it was gone.  When that was gone, we ordered Jett's Deep Dish Pizza and had left-overs.  It's easy to limit intake at one meal, but when EVERY meal is garbage, it is not helping!
 
 
AND on top of that, THESE LITTLE DEVILS:

So, yeah.  I feel like a bloated, cheese-filled land beast with Thin Mint crumbs all over my fat little face.  I don't actually have to lose 25 lbs, but 10-15 would probably get me into the dress without full body spanx. (Which I am NOT above, so don't judge me!!)

Now then... what am I going to do?  I can definitely stop eating cookies (since we are out).  And I probably can make more sensible choices for at least 40 of the next 47 days.  I can log back into My Fitness Pal and track, track, track.  Should I try something like Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred?  I've heard great things about that from the freaks on MFP.

Here's the driving force behind the dress efforts... I get to wear these shoes with it:

Hot, yes?  Worth it??? 

And, oh yeah, I rode an hour on the bike trainer today.  That should help!

    1. The shoes are to die for. I wore them once at an event and didn't even fall (much). I secretly love my running shoes more though!!

  2. Kohl's! Yes, my closet is full of gorgeous clothes I've never worn because of Kohl's. Good luck with your goal, Girl Scout Cookie season is a minefield!
