Day 27 of Month 359
A few days ago, I asked for your help in deciding what to wear to a wedding this weekend. Dress #3 was the clear winner, but I had an unforeseen technical difficulty. It wouldn’t zip over the new boobs. Yep. The last time I wore it was spring of last year, and that was pre-surgery. Sigh. I was going to default to #1 or #2, but I was going through my closet and found a great and simple little black dress (that was luckily made of stretchy satiny stuff and not of stretchless and unforgiving shantung like #3). So here’s what I wore…
We had a great time–it was so much fun! A friend of mine who was at the wedding decided to stop drinking alcohol a few months ago–nor for any particular reason other than the health/weight loss benefits. She and I talked about it for a while at the reception, and I’m going to give it a try. Tomorrow (Sunday) will be Day 1 of a new 21-day makeover. I’m interested to see how, if at all, removing alcohol affects me physically and socially. Anyone else want to play along?

Hi Jen! You look stunning in the black dress - something every woman should have! I would join you with the no alcohol, only I do that already. I tried finding drinks that I liked to be sociable during my college years, but never did acquire the taste. I find alcohol to be bitter, but kudos to you for adding it to your make-over!
You look FABULOUS!
As for the no-alcohol challenge? I’m not ready for that at this point. Since I’m currently in the meeting-people stage, a little bit of alcohol is good with the whole loosening-up thing. But I’m actually drinking less NOW than I used to when I was with my last boyfriend — I used to drink wine with dinner much more often during the week, and now I generally only drink 1 night (sometimes 2) on the weekend.
Nice legs! I wish I had ankles…I’m more of a “cankle” type of girl and strappy sandals like those would look horrific on me. Work it!
You look pretty! That dress suits you.
I’ll join you on your challenge! I’ll start today, so 21 days from now, I’ll fill you in on my progress!
I agree with everyone else, the dress is definitely a good choice, you look great! As for the alcohol challenge, I debated it for a minute, I don’t drink too much these days, but I do like to have one on occasion so I guess this shouldn’t be too difficult. Count me in on your challenge…I guess this will be one of my goals now!

Great goal! I have very naturally cut down on my drinking as my life has become more and more happy/fulfilling. However, hubby’s surgery will hopefully be in September, after which we begin trying to make a baby. Since I’ll be giving up alcohol completely at that point, I think I’m going to stick with the drinking I do now. I wish you the best though!!!
