it's mrs thatonegirl to you!

I’m one of those brides who wants to be able to look back at my wedding photos in 30 years and say to myself “Darn, I looked good then!” With eight months to go until W day, it’s time for Bridal Bootcamp!

Not long after getting engaged, I got sick and after 6 weeks of test, ended up having my gallbladder removed the Monday after Thanksgiving. I didn’t get to pig out on yummy Thanksgiving food but on the upside, I lost about 10lbs without any effort because I had no appetite. Fast forward two months, I’ve managed to maintain that weight so I don’t really need to lose any more weight (but another 10lbs wouldn’t hurt), I’ve just got to start toning my muscles. I don’t want to have “granny arms” in a gorgeous strapless dress!

I’ve always been a fairly active person so this should be fairly easy. Here’s how I propose this to happen:

• I have challenged myself to workout 5 days a week, giving myself two days of rest and sleeping in.
  • Two days a week I attend a 1-hour Boot Camp class after work. My muscles and heart get an excellent workout. I pay for this, there is no reason to miss it and waste money!
  • On Saturday morning I run across the lake bridge which is approx 2 miles across, making it 4 miles round trip.
  • The other two days, I need to spend at least 30 minutes on the elliptical machine to help burn fat.
• Last year, I joined Weight Watchers for their free 7-day trial to get a better idea of what and how much I should be eating.
  • I continue to monitor my eating keeping in mind how many points I should be eating per day.
  • I try to log my daily points, but I’m not always successful.
  • Pump up the fresh fruits and veggies.
  • I really should try to eliminate processed foods from my diet.
• I LOVE chocolate and I LOVE yummy beverages.
  • Everything is fine in moderation, I just have to be disciplined enough to say no to that second helping of chocolate cake or finishing the bottle of wine
• I have recently developed the bad habit of drinking sodas at work. I don’t really need all that sugar and the low after the caffeine high isn’t worth it.
  • More water, less soda!
• The Mister has also decided to start working out again, which is excellent motivation to keep me moving.
