Tisk Task Tuesday

Countdown: 242 days

I had a very productive wedding weekend. I bought the other three zippers I was looking for and I went to High Fashion and bought my bridal loops that I needed for my wedding dress. I also had my two appointments with florists this weekend and I went with my foster mom. We chose to go with Sarah's Florist for the flowers for the wedding party. Chuck was very helpful and gave us a lot of advice.

The groom, 7 groomsmen, 3 ushers and 1 ring bear will be wearing hydrangea boutonnieres. The bridesmaids will be carrying a "salad plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas and I will be carrying a "dinner plate size" bouquet of blue hydrangeas with about 15 white tulips. Just to let you know hydrangeas are not cheap nor are flowers for such a large wedding party.

We are really excited though and cant wait to see the final product. Just in case you were wondering our location the Ayva Center is doing the flowers for everything else.

Thoughtful Thursday

Diets have been on my mind a lot lately as I have recently gained a lot of weight as a result of living with someone else temporarily while our house is getting built. This is not good as I have my first fitting for my wedding dress in October.

Now I've been in this predicament before and actually lost 30lbs by doing ediets.com and working out like 6 days a week. So I know how to loose weight but I have until this week lost the motivation to do anything about it and just making excuses. Well NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!

But now I need help going in the right direction. I am already running twice to three x a week at a park with one of my bridesmaids when I can but that hasn't been enough. I fasted yesterday and made it through the day but all I ended up with was a HUGE headache. So today I had a fiber one granola bar for breakfast and for lunch I had grilled tilapia, green beans, and cabbage. Pretty healthy huh?

Can anyone give me any advice on how they have lost weight for their wedding or in general? Any advice is much appreciated!

Thoughtful Thursday

For this week's Thoughtful Thursday, I want to get your thoughts on changing to another outfit at the end of your reception. What do you think? Did you stay in your wedding dress to leave your reception or did you change?

I am thinking about changing into a coctail dress at the end of my reception for when we leave to hotel. I think its a good idea because that way the person you put in charge for getting your dress cleaned can take it and you don't have to worry about it while you're on your honeymoon.

Heres a pic of the pattern for the dress I'm going to change into. (Pattern A)
