Time to lose some weight...

So as any other bride on this earth I want to look amazing on my wedding day and while sitting on the beach for the honeymoon after! However for some reason I can not get the motivation to get off my ass and do something about it. In one of my wedding magazines I read that the best motivator for women to lose weight is to get engaged…hmmm maybe for everyone else but I must have missed that memo!!!

I have been engaged for 4 ½ months and have yet to do a workout plan! I keep saying I will then the alarm goes off at 5am and I roll over and fall back asleep UGH! I have been eating better (for the most part) so at least that helps, but I need the motivation to get up and do something about it!



So last night Brad decided to buy me EA Active to go with my Wii, maybe he was tired of hearing me say how cool it looked, or maybe he thought it would help me get motivated. If it was up to him I would stay as is, but he knows I want to lose a little so he is trying to help. I didn’t get a chance to play it last night since the Finale of American Idol was on, but once I get home from work tonight I will pop it in and have a go at it.

I have heard other brides say that it gives you a good workout and it has a 30day challenge on it that I will try first (maybe 3 times!! Haha) I don’t have that much to lose, more just tone up and get fit! I am thinking if I could lose 10 – 15 lbs by October I will be VERY happy!

So here goes nothing… Wish me luck!

Busy Busy Busy...

I don’t think I can even begin to tell you how busy my life has been the last few weeks! Between getting Brad’s house ready for me to move into, planning a wedding, work, softball, and having me time I have NO time!!! Somehow we are down to only 137 more days until the wedding!!! OMG how did that happen? I still have a million things to do on my list… time to get working. Right now I am working on my maps, bouquets, invites, getting ready outfits, and parasols! Whew!

I don’t think you understand how much stuff you actually own until you have to pack it all up to move! Wow I have a TON of stuff! Brad and I are starting to move all of my stuff so that it is not a huge move all at once and it seems as if we haven’t even made a dent! So Brad has decided I must get rid of some of it (AHHHH) I take after my father in that aspect of life and never get rid of anything! I think this 3 day weekend will be a long one for me, but who knows maybe it will be refreshing!

Now its time to go back to work but I promise more later!

Happy Birthday to Me!

This past weekend I celebrated my 25th birthday! Wow I am a quarter century old! Birthday’s always seem to bring up a number of emotions… joy, fear, reflection, sadness, did I say joy? At what age do birthdays stop becoming a party and start to become yet another year older? One great thing about turning 25 is your car insurance goes down!! But other then that this year is just another year older… Then comes 30, 40 and 50, all the years in between are just another day, another year, another birthday.

I believe you make them what you want them to be. So what you are turning another year older, be excited you have that chance to live life for another year. Everyone has the chance to make life what they want it to be. If you want it to be depressing then that is what you surround yourself with, however if you chose to be happy and strive to be happy then that is what your life will be. I have seen people that are the same age (any age, it doesn’t matter) and they have completely different outlooks on life.

I guess what I learned this year is to take life as it comes and it is yours to mold and make what you want. This year I not only turn 25, but I will be getting married! Wow what a great year! I will be moving into my house and become a home owner, I will become a wife and I will be happy no matter what comes my way!

So here’s to me and another great year!
