Body... Sculpting?

Note: Wedding dresses are not designed for short people.

As it stands, in the dress that I ordered, I am a size two.

However, due to my height (4'10"), I ordered a size zero petite - this way, when it came time to do the alterations, they wouldn't have to chop off half of the dress in order for it to fit length-wise.

I am not a size zero.

I am a size two.

I've got (a couple) curves.

I like them.

I am tiny without being bony, I am lucky to be that way, and I know it.

Thus, in order to fit into my dress the way that I deem appropriate, I will need to rearrange some weight rather than lose it.

To start, I'm increasing the protein in my diet and decreasing the carbs. (NOT eliminating them - I WILL have my "noo-noo's"!)

Additionally, I purchased a pair of Skechers Shape-Ups, which - despite my initial skepticism - are TOTALLY FREAKIN' AWESOME. I'm in pretty decent shape to begin with; I wouldn't run any marathons, but my muscle strength tends to be above average. Even so, I definitely felt a little ache at the end of the first day wearing them. At the end of the fourth day, my posture is infinitely better, I'm pain free in my knees/hips/lower back, and I feel like I'm getting a work-out when I wear them, without working up a sweat.

Annnnd... most productively I would assume... I have started a 3x weekly core-exercise routine. I do two sets of 10 reps for each side, of the following activities:
Exercise One: Start in a squatting position, holding medicine ball with both hands, on right side of the body. Keeping arms straight, straighten legs to a standing position while simultaneously raising the ball so that you are holding it above your head on the left side of the body. Return to starting position. That is one.
Exercise Two: Start in upright push-up position, entire body off the floor except for toes and the palms of your hands. Rotate so that you are supporting yourself on your right arm, torso and legs perpendicular to the ground, left arm extended straight out above you into the air. Hold for two seconds. Return to starting position. Rotate so that you are supporting yourself on your left arm, torso and legs perpendicular to the ground, right arm extended straight out above you into the air. Hold for two seconds. Return to starting position. That is one. (I do twenty.)
Exercise Three: Hold weight in right hand. Step forward with left foot, dropping into lunge position while simultaneously raising right arm above your head so that it is extended straight out above you. Push off with left foot so that you return to standing position (right foot should stay in the same place this entire time) while bringing your arm down, returning you to starting position. That is one.
Exercise Four: Start in squat position. Lean forward so that you are balanced on your toes, both arms hanging down toward the ground, weight in right hand. Tighten core so that you can lift the weight to your shoulder, and then back to hanging position, without rotating your body. That is one. (I do twenty per side.)
