Workin' on my Fitness

So me and hubb's are going to try to get back in shape.  After all of the wedding shennangan's have died down and we have settled into newlywed bliss our belly's have too. We have each gained a significant amount of weight and we are going to try to knock it back down and keep it there where it belongs. 

Eating out, vegging on the couch, and just plain being comfortable and not wanting to work out after the wedding has really had its effect on us, and not in a good way.  We have both tried to exercise after work and I have to admit he has been a lot better than I have.  With my role as a wife now I feel more obligated to make sure we have a clean house, clean clothes and dinner cooked than I have to take care of  myself.  Granted, the hubbs does not expect that of me but I do.  I feel that I should do it and I know he really does appreciate a home cooked meal and clean undies when its all said and done. 

For a while there I was trying to cram in a Jillian Michaels 30 day shred here and there while dinner was in the over and that was working but I just got burned out and I was soooo tired after work that I dont even know where the energy came half the time to allow me to do so. 

I do, however know that with trying to concieve and having a family to tend for I do need to be at my fitness best.  I need to take better care of myself and so does the hubbs. So this isn't just for us alone, but for us as a team, us as a couple and for our future kiddo's - to be in the best shape of our lives so we can chase some cute little babies around our home one day and not be exhausted doing so.

With that being said.  Follow us on our journey of a 90 day shred and see how we do.  We may succeed or we may fail.  Hopefully, we'll be rocking some jammin' bodies in 90 days.  Thats my hope.

Sneak Peak!

The wedding is finally over and I seriously could not be happier the way everything played out. Everything was seriously perfect....well just about everything. There were a few things that could have played out differently but when it is all said and done I am completly happy with our wedding. I got to marry my best friend, the man I will share the rest of my life with and that makes everything worth it.

Since I dont have all of our professional pictures back I can just share with you a couple sneak peeks from out big day.
The love I felt radiating from everyone that day was undescribable. I remember reading several blogs about just sitting back and relaxing and taking the moment in. I specifically remember making myself do this at dinner. I just finished scarfing down our wonderful BBQ that was catered by All-Star Catering in Willis, TX. If your in the area and looking for a Caterer you cannot go wrong with them. Everyone told us how amazing the food was, and seriously you never hear that at weddings!!

I sat there in my seat on stage next to my handsome husband and just looked across the room at everyone, at everything and just took a deep breath in to take it all in. I thought, this is really happening, this is the day I have waited for the last 400 plus days. This is the moment every bit of my hard work, heart and soul has poured into and this moment has arrived. People were chating about the room, people smiling, laughing and my heart was over filled with joy. The joy I never know if I will experience like that again.

That is what I need to be doing but I cant.  All I want to do today is sleep.  Curl up in my big bed with my fur-babies and my honey, to cuddle and sleep.  Are any other brides out there lacking focus leading up to your wedding.  All I want to do is just not worry about anythign for a while.  Working out, work, cooking, cleaning, nothing.  I just wanna be lazy for a little bit and do completely nothing but honestly I just dont have the time to do nothing.  I still have a few things left on my to do list for the month and I hope I can knock a couple things out this weekend.  That being said, it would be so nice to just lay around and lounge all day Saturday.

My work focus is completely shot lately.  I have no motivation to even be there let alone try to work and be there.  All I keep day dreaming about is weddings, invitations, planning, etc.  I am hoping that this will be my fuel once the wedding is over. 

Ring "Bear" Pillow

A little boy was in a relative’s wedding.

As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.

While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said,

“I was being the Ring Bear.”

This reminds me how cute kids can be as well as the darnest things they can say.  I am so excited that my precious nephew will be my Ring "bear" as I now like to call it.  He is super excited too.  I recently completed his pillow and took it over to show him.  I have to admit he pretty much knew exactly what to do with it.  He held it upright and just walked around with it.  He will be a cuttest little ring "bear" ever.

Here is an inspiration picture I got for my pillow since I knew there was no way I could afford it.  I decided to do my own:

ETSY

My sister was kind enough to give me her old pillow but i mostly just used it for the shape and the filling.  I completely re did it and this is how mine turned out.

I am pretty happy with the results.  As it matches the look were going for a little more so than the Etsy one does.  But a little inspiration never hurts anyone, right?

So ladies, tell me.  Are you going to DIY your pillow and do you plan on having a Ring "Bear" roar his way down your aisle as well?
