Good morning!
Happy Friday :D
I had my ‘dress fitting’ this morning. It is always best to do the fitting first thing when my stomach is flattest! lol.
Sketchie was my personal tailor…

And the dress….


With me in it :)

The result?
Thankfully, the dress is starting to fit better! I have definitely seen a bit of progress, which is really encouraging given that it has only been several days. I have exactly 7 days left! I still have about 2 inches in the back that won’t zip up. I am almost positive that I can get there in a week by making healthy substitutions and a bit of exercise each day. No deprivation required!
Breakfast

A Detoxifying Green Monster:
- 3 organic kale leaves
- 1 organic carrot
- 1 Tbsp flax
- 2 ice cubes
- 1 cup low-fat Soy Milk

Delicious as always!
It is so warm outside today!!!
I was outside in just my PJ’s to take a picture and I wasn’t even cold. It is supposed to be 59F/15C today which is VERY uncharacteristic for Ontario in MARCH!

I expect the snow will be gone by end of today!!! Who hoo!!!
Oh She Glows Announcements:
1) Today is Day 14 of CFW! Can you believe it? I have not craved sugar since about day 9.
2) The unveiling of Oh She Glow’s new website will be THIS WEEKEND!!! Stay tuned for the official unveiling time! We were up late again working on it…and will probably be putting the finishing touches on it today/tonight. I really hope you all like it as much as I do!
3) Stay tuned later today for FAQ’s and my new kitchen scale
I leave you today with Madonna’s 5 workout Rules…
1. Stick to a time but be flexible. Madonna leaves her home at 8am to workout. Even if she’s had a late-night event, she still won’t skip her workout. She’ll just head out at 10:00am instead!
2. Ditch the crummy sweats. The Material Girl always insists on having the coolest athletic clothes when she heads to the gym. Studies have shown that what you wear reflects your attitude and can motivate you. So, ditch those sweats you wore in high school and pick up some new gear!
3. Change it up. Madge is always mixing up her workout so she doesn’t get bored. One day she’ll hit the gym and the next, she’s jogging in Central Park.
4. Find friends who love to work out. The singer works out with friends such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Stella McCartney and maybe we should follow her lead. Having friends who share your interest can keep you motivated when you’re thinking about ditching the gym for a stop at the cupcake factory!
5. Don’t overdo it. Despite her ripped body, Madonna has said she never works out for more than 45 minutes! This is plenty of time go achieve an amazing body as long as you follow Rule #1 and never skip your workouts.
What is your favourite workout rule or tip?
Angela,
I just want to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog!!
When I feel too lazy to workout, I go to your blog and read about your posts. Your excitement for exercise inspires me to move my lazy butt to the gym!!!!
p.s your wedding dress is gorgeous!!!
I finally made a green monster this morning, YUMM!!! thanks so much for inspiring me to do it
You have me wanting to try the green monster, now!
Love your dress :)
I don’t have a sugar addiction but I definitely am addicted to salt. I wonder if I should start a SFW (salt free week) and if I would notice any changes from that? hmm…
P.S. – beautiful dress!
Angela! that dress is absolutely gorgeous! you have such great taste =)
You look STUNNING in your dress!! I wouldn’t even be able to tell that you can’t zip it all the way. You have a great mentality, though! Have a great day and enjoy the weather! :)
I admire your outlook toward fitting back into your wedding dress! Me and my husband’s first wedding anniversary is March 18 and I was planning to wear a fabulous little black dress for our evening plans but I tried it on a few days ago and it is definitely too tight. I can zip up the dress but I can barely breathe! So we are in the same boat! I am looking forward to seeing how you make cutbacks!
P.S. your wedding dress is absolutely amazing. You have wonderful fashion sense.
