Problems a bride to be faces...

The price of bridal magazines is through the roof.

Your parents want you to be married in a church despite not attending for 10 years and partner not a fan of religious beliefs. Not a Church or a Capel in my wedding plans!

Your family takes everything you say the wrong way!

My mother is jealous of my mother in law. And has been quite blunt that she won't be friends with her ever! I would like both families to get along.

Your maid of honour is refusing to co operate with any requests you make. Which are reasonable about wearing heels and a black dress on the day (nothing else requested yet).

So over the drama already and I haven't even got started on dresses yet!

So what problems did you face for your wedding and how did you deal with it?

Checking in today. Back under 2kg over my WW goal. 53.9kg at my meeting but weighed 53.1kg in the morning (without clothes or shoes). I'm feeling a lot better. Getting there with my fitness. I need to be more motivated, focused and give it 100%. I'm thinking of joining JETS again. As I can do my normal workout in the mornings but go to the gym and do the heavier weights and circuit. It's just a thought.

Friday Fitness

I'm still alive! I have been super busy with going back to school, parties and trying to organise my wedding venue. I have still been exercising daily and not getting complacent.

Fitting your exercise and diet into your life when you are busy.

How do I do it? Well I schedule in exercise and plan meals weekly. I make it part of my routine.

If I'm busy I'll do a small bodyrock.tv workout. I don't not workout. I do need to make MORE time on weekends for sustained exercise. I do, do a workout on the weekend too. Sunday is my rest or ride day.

I'm back down into the 53kg range and this morning weighed in at 53.1kg. (This is after my engagement party on the weekend, dinner out on Tuesday and family night last night!)

Inspiration for mental health:

My stripes have been eared since age 11! They are part of me! They are from growing, gaining weight and losing it for good! I show them off with pride. I still wear a bikini to the beach; no shame!

Inspiration for physical health:

What I'm up to this coming week:

Back to school and doing a lot more incidental exercise and eating more regularly. Getting back into routine is easy staying there is the hard bit. Remember the scales are steadily moving down. Be positive and don't undo all your hard work. You survived your engagement party and dinner out this week. Nothing can stop you! Think of the wedding dress and looking awesome on your wedding day!
