It took the other two bridesmaids to help, but I did manage to get the dress on and zipped. I felt like a sausage, but luckily the tight part was just around the ribcage so I didn't LOOK like a sausage. And my belly was nice and loose underneath a bunch of pleats. If I wasn't pregnant and pudgy-looking there, I would have disliked the dress a lot more...so NOT my style, but worked out ok considering, as a "skinny" dress would have just made me look and feel worse.
I managed to run a little (20 minutes maybe) on Friday morning, nice and slow and it felt really good. I walked another 25 minutes and called it a good day. My friend (the bride) had some 12 pound weights at her house so Saturday I did a mini total body workout.
Today I will get back in the swing...run in the morning, spin in the evening. I am actually about to head out for the run, I think. 4.5 miles. I feel (sitting here on the couch) that I can totally do this, run the whole distance, nice and slow, without problems. My optimism is very motivating. However, the last few times I've thought this, as soon as I started I realized I was mistaken. Maybe today if I start REALLY slow, I'll have a chance? I just want to be able to RUN! Not that I mind walking, but it's ONLY 4.5 MILES. I will update later...
