We all want to look our best on our wedding day, right? And I'm thinking most of you went on some sort of 'diet' before your big day. Now I'm not saying that a diet means something unhealthy or crash-worthy or extreme, but rather a diet can mean just being more health conscious and kicking up the ol' workouts. I know I certainly did this. In fact, I hired a personal trainer. I had always wanted someone to literally kick my @ss and tell me to work harder and get that jiggly fat movin'! Ha! And so I did. I signed up for 10 sessions originally but then extended it for the couple weeks just before the wedding. My trainer was a young guy -- 23. He liked to make me feel old. Lame. But he was good and pushed me and made me do things I wouldn't normally want to do (who wants to race up and down the ground ladder with weights in their hand? Not me). Needless to say, he got the job done. And mightily so.
I must digress...whenever I know I want to lose a few pounds, I tend to stuff my face the week prior to starting. Literally stuff my face as if it's my last meals on earth. So that being said, the first couple pounds come off pretty easy for me. It's the last stubborn pounds and change of eating that is hard...oye.
Everyone has different goals for their big day. Pounds lost, inches shrunk, muscles toned, bellies flattened. For me, I just wanted to look long and lean. My pounds lost were about 10 and 5% body fat reduction. Not bad overall.
Gotta admit that I gained most of that back in the 7 days of honeymooning in Puerto Vallarta. What can I say? You can't stop me from my Mexi food =)
Thankfully I've rebounded closer to wedding weight now that the pressure is off!
