The Hungry Hungry Gal: Waiting To Say I Do: One Month To Go!

So it's been a long time since we've posted again, but I think these last two months before the wedding have been like a whirlwind! It feels like just yesterday it was July and I could put some things for the wedding off until "next week".

Well. Now the wedding practically IS next week!

The invitations are out and the RSVPs are rolllllling in. We've been pretty lucky so far in that we haven't had to hunt too many people down! And one was a mailing error. So there's that. Otherwise, all the little ducks are falling in a row (so far).

I do feel like, at any given moment, there is something wedding-related on my mind. So I constantly apologize to all my friends and sisters for becoming "that bride" who can only talk about her wedding...sigh. But from finalizing when we can get in to set up our reception to picking out the EXACT right entrance song to deciding how we will indicate on place cards who has chicken or steak, there are a million little decisions that, like I said, we cannot put off anymore. Good thing they're all pretty fun decisions and I'm getting better and being a person who makes decisions.

This past week, Patrick and I were able to take a few breaks. We went to Mumford and Sons with a couple of friends, which was soooo great! We really just had a blast and the music was phenomenal! It kind of felt like a close to the summer.

Later in the week, I had my dress fitting, and I have to say friends, all this working out and no carbs made me so, so happy at my dress fitting. Did I feel uber skinny like I've always wanted to? Nope. But I feel really tight and lean...and pretty fantastic. I can't wait to wear the dress again!

However. I am not allowed to lose anymore weight as the seamstress shot me a look of death saying, "now you're all done with this dieting business, RIGHT?"

Trust me, it's not hard for me to NOT lose weight as I'd been doing that for some time before all this. I just figure I'll keep doing what I'm doing, seeing as I haven't dropped a ton of weight.

But, oh my gosh, what if I become someone who just "can't keep weight on"? I will die laughing at myself.

I continue to work out 6 days a week mixing it up with Spin class, P90X, Jillian Michaels, and running. This past week I have also included a 30 day squat challenge and 30 day abs to my repertoire because, now, we're in crunch time (get it?!). I mean, the bathing suit I have to squeeze into in the middle of fall is just as important as the wedding dress, am I right? And as I'm doing the squats that suck so bad, I think of all the frozen, calorie-laden umbrella drinks I'm going to drink in Jamaica.

Finally, this weekend, we had a wedding for our dear friends in Ohio. It was so fun and also surreal being at a wedding knowing we're going to be doing the same thing so soon! The bride looked beautiful and the groom so handsome. The whole day was just full of love and was just such a special day.
