This weekend has been all about wedding stuff. I had other plans actually but it ended up being all about getting wedding related stuff done. Who knew such a simple wedding could involve so much work? I guess that’s what happens when everything is DIY.
Things are rolling along with wedding planning. Right now I’m trying to decide how to handle alcohol (check out the dry wedding debate post if you want to weigh in) and my seamstress Debbie is starting my dress. Today I went by to let her take my measurements for the dress.
I also got to see my veil. Well, the beginning of my veil. It still needs work but it’s been started!
Yay!
I look sexy in my veil, right? Or maybe all the sexiness is coming from my “No Time For Haters” shirt. Love that shirt. ;)
She took the measurements she needed for the dress and they were pretty much what I expected. I was so tempted to ask her to measure my arms too, but that would have been obvious. I’m obsessed with my arms lately.
I suppose my new goal is to make the next measurements smaller than the first. It’s always better to get a dress taken in than to need it let out.
I’m pretty excited about all the wedding stuff that is happening! I’m going to keep it mostly off the blog except for Operation Wedding Sexy updates. If you want more wedding talk follow my wedding blog.
Healthy lunches: Did good with this. I ate out twice: once was bad (pizza) and once was good (best fish tacos ever). All other days I brought delicious healthy lunches from home.
Workout 3 times a week: Just barely made this, but counting my workout today it happened! My workout today was great. It totally made up for the last couple I missed. Full body and cardio – left the gym exhausted, drenched in sweat, and happy.
Walk 1 mile a day: I re-started this again. A couple days I estimated the mile based on time spent walking and then yesterday I walked for hours while shopping. Hours. I wish I knew how far I actually walked when I did all that wedding shopping.
Drink 100+ oz water daily: Oh yeah. I love some water! I got in plenty every day except the day when I was sickest during the week. That day I got dehydrated because I couldn’t drink enough and it was horrible. Being dehydrated is the worst.
Therapy: I’m going to start including this as a “goal” because therapy is such a huge part of my journey right now. I had my second meeting with my therapist this week. I cried again and felt overwhelmed when trying to explain my life. I left feeling good though. She gave me a lot of good tips and practical advice to use this week for controlling the binge eating. If I can get a handle on that area of my life I will be doing really well.
Overall it was a pretty good week health/life/wedding wise. I have a feeling next week will be even better.
Happy 4th! Have a fun and safe one! :)
