So very close...

So, I tried the dress on again. I don't know why I like to torture myself. Especially since I only lost 1 pound yesterday. I had hoped to be 123 today, and 121 tomorrow and ready to wear the dress tomorrow night. But I was 123.8 (practically 124!) this morning. The good news is it zipped - with a little bit of encouragement. The bad news is it is uncomfortably tight in the butt and thighs. The top fits super well with a bra under it. But I look exceptionally pear shaped because the bottom is so form fitting. I know it's supposed to be to some extent and I will always be pear shaped but this looks like Jessica Rabbit only with out the boobs.

The plan is - I cut out alot of my calories today my intake is around 700 800, I burned 530 with cardio only today - running and zumba (found on youtube). I wanted to do more, but I slept in. My energy level is kind of low right now. I don't remember that being the case summer 2011 when I did this. But it was summer I was more motivated to run outside and I could do a shred workout in the am, and run after work. Now I work at night and everything has to be done before I leave the house. My run was freakin' cold today!

Tomorrow grapefruit and hard boiled egg for breakfast. Maybe some more fruit if we go the lounge and wait for the plane. (Yeah - the party is out of town. Detroit of all places. And not really even Detroit, because who goes there? ) And dehydrate myself like crazy the rest of the day. I plan on wearing my Zaggora Hotpants all day to hopefully squeeze out a little more space in my dress. Then, the question is do I swim or not? If I do right after checking in is the time to do it. I just don't want to re-hydrate my skin after sweating it out in the Hot Pants all morning, but I would still have the afternoon to wear them.  Or maybe I can get up early and swim before we check out (depending on how late we are out - last year the dinner was in Chicago and we danced at a club afterward. But in Detroit? I suggested we go to a casino, but since dinner isn't really even in the city, who knows what will happen.)

I may buy another grapefruit (they are a low GI fruit) and eat it before seeing the BF. He always spots when my blood sugar gets low, because I get cranky. And I don't want to be a grouch with him, just because I'm trying to squeeze into this dress. But, I am 85% sure that I'll be able to wear it. I don't really have a back up plan. But if Spanx work as well as they are supposed to, then I should be fine. I may even be able to downgrade to buying their cheaper brand Assets to save a few bucks. We'll see. I'm going to take the dress with me to decide.

Thanks for the comments on these last few post. I know it probably sounds boring me going on and on about 1 stupid dress.

Gah! I had come back and edit my calorie intake. I caved and had some bread! It was lovely though, crusty on the outside soft inside. Perfect for going with soup or pasta. It was left in the staff lounge, and I kept telling myself not to, but whatever. I compensated by eating less of my packed dinner, and I may do some abs or more zumba when I get home before I pack.
