Press N' Seal conclusion

Well I have to tell you, the wraps work.  I am down 9 inches where the wrap was placed.  I thought about becoming a distributor of the product but with planning a wedding, paying for a wedding by myself and starting a new life is not the time to be going head long into a business.  I figure I can be a customer of theirs and then as I get money stockpiled then I can get into selling the product on my own.  The only thing though, with a company like this wouldn't any of the money that you receive from it go back into buying your products for parties and things like that? At least wouldn't that be the smart thing to do? So then how do you get money from it?

Damn Boobs part 2

Yes they are starting to cause me headaches this month.  So my wedding dress doesn't even zip up because my boobs are too big.  I was so concerned with my stomach area being too big and now it's the stupid boobs.  What makes me upset though is shouldn't a pattern give for the traveling up of the boobs?  Also why do dress places have to order in a size when they take your measurements.  Wouldn't it be easier/better to just order in the dressed based on your measurements?
Makes sense to me.  I mean I will probably never get out of wearing a size Large top because of the size of my boobs, unless I want to look like my chest exploded.
Wake up designers, women have curves in a whole lot of different places.  Start customizing clothing for different problem areas.
I know I should probably do this, I have 2 people who I'm sure would be on board with helping to make clothes but then they'd be super expensive and no one wants to pay that price. Yet we do for wedding dresses.

Press N' Seal update

So I went to my cousins wrap party today and it is for the product It Works! 
I had to keep the menthol rich wrap on for about 45 minutes, ended up being an hour and 10 but I went down 2 inches over all. I thought it was pretty cool and I will remeasure myself Monday to see the full results of it. 
I know I need to stop being a skeptic with products and everything but I can't help it.  When people quote stats I like to know the sources and some of the stats they quoted are being misquoted and I hate that. And as I've posted before they want you to drink half of your body weight in water a day in oz's.  Did I not say I wasn't as puffy or bloaty because of doing that same thing? It cost me $25 and we will see the results on Monday and see if that was worth it to me. but I can feel a difference in my clothes, they seem looser.  However I do not recommend drinking 64 oz of water, then going to see The Dark Knight Rises. Yup I had to pee about 30 minutes in and I was wedged in the middle of the row so there was no getting out. 


Thank you for not judging and I will keep you up to date on the results.

Press N' Seal

This weekend one of my cousins, it's one of those parents cousins kids things so they are kind of my cousin right?, is having a wrap party.  We will be doing body wraps to drop inches.  Now I have some major issues with my waist because when I get stressed it goes to my waist, when I gain weight it goes to my hips and since I have a wedding dress that will be fitted to me the problem area is the belly.  So I will be having that wrapped to see if it truly does drop my inches and how long it lasts.  If it works I'm tempted to get one of my volleyball ladies to come over and wrap the rest of my body with her oils and the press n'seal like she did at one of our volleyball games. Was rather hilarious to hear it pop and everything.  

I will let you all know how well it works and if it is worth the cost.  Yeah it's $25 so kind of pricey for one wrapping but if it works it will make my belly go down. 
I know stressing about this stuff only makes my issues worse so I'm really trying not to.  


I'm also keeping up with my bellydancing and my other workouts. 


Ended up taking down a wedding tonight so that was a great workout in 90 degree weather at 9 at night. Ended up melting the candles we use in our hurricane lamps outside to let people know which doors to go in for the wedding. 


Thank you for not judging and I will keep you posted on the wrapping.

It is, what it is

So I got the engagement pictures back today.  They are cute but I just keep looking at them and I kind of want to cry. Mostly out of frustration with myself.  I have a degree in exercise science yet I can't even get myself down to smaller sizes like I want to.  I know all there is to know about weight loss and how it is accomplished and what you need to do, yet why can't I follow through with it?
I want the outside me to match the way I feel and I see myself. I never wanted to be that Marshmallow bride, but it looks like that is what I will be turning out to be.

Going strong!

Yes I allowed that moment of upsetness to pass and no I'm not getting rid of my boobs to fit into a dress. My mom and I ended up going to a local store and found clothing that will work for the pictures. I'm happy with them and amazingly enough they fit just fine and they are the right sizes. 
I do think that some designers say they are true to size but they don't really know what that true to size is. 
Anyway I just wanted to update you all on that I'm still going strong with the workouts and eating correctly for my body and drinking my water.  I didn't have nearly as much water yesterday as I would have liked and now I'm paying for it with swollen ankles. But I'm chugging it down still.


Thank you for not judging.

Damn boobs!

I'm pretty ticked right now I bought this amazingly beautiful dress for my engagement photos. It came in the mail today and I was super excited yet nervous to try it on.  I ordered it a size larger because I knew I could always take it in if it was too big. Well it was too small in the boobage area. I guess my DDD's were a little too much for that cute little dress. Luckily the company does free returns.  I couldn't go up a size because I had it in the largest size it came in.  So now my mom and I get to go and find something around here to replace it. 


The part that upsets me is that there is nothing I can do about my boobs.  whenever I lose weight and start to tighten up they get bigger.  I know eventually everything evens out and they will start to go down but that takes like 6 months for me to get to that part and by then I'm frustrated because my cup size keeps going up. 


I had to rant. 
Sorry
