I am SOOO exited about the ball this year. After all, I'm over 20 pounds lighter! So I decided to go all out and look like a princess for the ball this year. I bought a beautiful pink cinderella style ballgown on amazon.com and tried it on as soon as I got it in the mail 4 days later! it fit perfectly and I feel like a completely different person when I'm wearing it. I just wish I could wear it all the time, lol! I was thinking of getting a tiara to finish my princess look, but I'm rethinking that. I was actually thinking about putting some small pink flowers in my hair instead (inspired by my favorite movie, Enchanted!). If I can find the right flowers, that's what I'll do.
see a picture of my princess ball gown here!
Mostly, I'm looking forward to the professional photo that will be taken at the ball in my dress, as the thinner me :) a picture that I'll be proud to hang on my wall.
I never hung the picture up of last year's ball because I thought I looked so chunky in the picture, I was too embarrased that I ever looked like that. Now I feel great about myself and my accomplishment and can't wait to go!!!

What I've been doing this week!
You may not know this, but I love to dance! I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. So, it's not an odd thing for me to try to encorporate it into my life, usually in some form of exercise.
So I've picked up something new I've been doing. I went on youtube monday and looked for some dances that I wanted to learn and found one that I like very much which I will share with you! I watched it over and over again, step by step the first day to learn it. I watched it for 2 hours going through every little motion and I still learned only half the dance, but by the next day and another 2 hour practice I had pretty much mastered the whole thing, not to mention that in all the fun, I lost another pound!
Dancing may not be for you, but I do suggest you find things that you enjoy doing to make exercise fun so you are more focused on having fun than the actual exercise.
This is the dance that I've learned and have actually been sweatin' to today :)
