Patrick and I are at the point of our wedding planning where there is never an idle moment. There's always a thank you note to write (gotta get those out before they pile up, that's for sure!), a check to write (definitely less fun to write than thank you notes), or something to check up on. To be sure, we are in NO way complaining, these are #firstworldproblems.
Last week, we got our invitations out, settled on our ceremony, and we got to try some food for our rehearsal dinner, which was super fun! I gazed longily at Patrick and his mother's glasses of wine and sipped happily on my water while we talked logistics.
Afterwards, we walked over to the PAC to check out where the reception will take place in SO SOON. Officially? 54 days. But who's counting. Can you tell I'm getting just so excited. I am.
Friday, I got to meet up with my mom and Victoria and talk about the rest of the decorations for the reception. Again, all this talk gets me super super excited. I wish we were getting married NEXT WEEK! I did treat myself to a glass of wine over lunch as Friday was my cheat day. I can't pass up anything Victoria makes, so I feel like I planned cheat day well this week. She made a beautiful salad with cantaloupe and avocado and some crab crakes. Yum.
So all this stuff is super fun stuff and stuff I really like doing! The only thing that gets hard is doing all of this AND finding time 6 days a week to work out. So far, I have been quite successful in this endeavor...but it's been sooooo difficult. To those who do this on a regular basis, I definitely salute you.
As I've told you all, we've been trying to mix it up a bit, dabbling in a few different things. This past week, we did P90X a few days. Well Patrick did it with me on Friday, I did it on my own Monday. Tony Horton said some really weird stuff to us as we sweat into Patrick's living room carpet and Memphis looked at us like we're crazy people. It was awesome. The thing about P90X is that I can definitely feel a difference in how things fit even though I haven't seen much change on the scales.
We have also totally fell in love with our Wednesday night Spin class at the WAC. We've had one cameo appearance of Gregger one night as well. We get all fat-kid sweaty (I am allowed to say that as a former fat child) and our legs are all shaky after we finish. I have to tell you, it might sound weird, but a shower after Spin class is, like, the best feeling. You've sweat so much junk out of you and then you get all clean. I'm thinking of trying a STEAM sometime! But I'm not sure, because I don't do well just sitting in hot weather. We'll see.
And then we keep up with our running routine. However, sad news, we are no longer doing the Lake Country Half Marathon. We've had a couple of things come up (more on that later) where it's going to be too much that weekend. Which is kind of nice because some of our running days, we really only have 30 minutes.
BUT this weekend, we did the Color Run which was SO FUN! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try out a fun 5k. This one is totally chill and you get splashed with color along the way and you look like a rainbow warrior at the end. The only beef I would have would be if you're trying to get a semi-workout out of the Color Run, get to the start line early so you don't have quite so many walkers to dodge. Nothing wrong at all with walking a 5k, but it does get hard to bob and weave the huge crowds. And it was a HUGE crowd. The run was definitely sold out, and I think there was something like 13,000 people or something.
So all that is well and good and fun and working out feels great. We hope we can keep up the good work!
