Major remodel

I was doing sit-ups on the living room floor this morning when Coop started banging on my leg with his light-up hammer. I jokingly said, "Is Mommy under construction?" A few seconds later I realized that, indeed, I am undergoing a major remodel. I have been trying to get fit the last couple weeks and shed some weight. Something inside me finally clicked when I realized I don't have to be resigned to living with an extra 20 pounds with the excuse that "I've had three kids." I stopped the chemical birth control (NO family, not to try for another one) because it was making me feel terrible and huge.

An unwritten goal is merely a wish so I am putting it in writing here that I am going to shed 15 pounds by June 2, 2007! Why June 2? My sis-in-law is getting married that day and I'm going to feel good in my bridesmaid dress! A before and after picture would be effective but A: I am NOT putting on a bikini and B: these thighs will not see the light of day until at least April. :)

Get ready world for the new and improved Camille!

*Wedding fun*

It's so easy to get caught up in wedding hype when you're in a busy bridal boutique. Denise, Marci and I went to J'aime Bridal in downtown Pleasanton to look at bridesmaids dresses for Denise's quickly approaching wedding. Can I just say that it is next to impossible to find a bridesmaid dress with any fabric above the boobs. Everything is strapless or spaghetti straps. When you're looking for a modest dress to wear amidst the skin-bearing fashions of the day it can get really frustrating. We finally found one that works and I LOVE IT!!
<-----Here it is except we are wearing it with a white lace top and deep ruby red bottom. It's going to look hot- if I do say so myself.
