    I'm on and off with a 5:2/16:8 combo IF regimen since the end of January; helped me get the holiday weight off and control some calories a bit better. Less feasible with family commitments at the moment, but hoping after the wedding to maybe get back into it. The Intermittent Fasting group has a lot of great info/links with some really knowledgeable folks.

    I like the sounds of the 5:2 and might give that a whirl, what is the 16:8 Intermittent fasting look like?

    I am getting at least a hour of cardio in everyday lately and it's also doing WONDERS for my stress levels with TOO much going on these days.

    WE ARE CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE TODAY! :dizzy:

    I am also traveling to Seattle on Thursday for one more weekend to find a dress for our Jr. Bridesmaid and maybe get some shopping done for the new house and the wedding...UGH! :open_mouth:

    Sent in for our Marriage Commissioner's appointment and collecting information for our marriage license (my fiancé was married once before and he can't remember the day he and his first wife got married), also rescheduled a make-up trial for August 3rd which is my 45th birthday and also getting my hair colored so we'll play with some bridal hair ideas so long story short we decided to turn it into a b-day, bachelorette, make-up trial Galz Party at the New EMPTY house :lol:

    Also meeting with the caterer August 7th to go over food for the Welcome/Rehearsal dinner AND the cocktail reception...THINGS are moving right along!

    Cant' wait to catch up with everyone and see how everything is going!!!

    Marla Jean, the 16:8 is when you fast for 16 hours (I usually do either 8pm-noon the next day or 10pm-2PM the next day) and eat all your calories in an 8 hour window (i.e., 12-8pm, or 2-10pm, or 10am-6pm; most people find it easier to skip breakfast and have later eating windows than eat earlier and then stop). Sounds like wedding stuff is coming along wonderfully. Hope the house closing went smoothly so you were able to enjoy the trip to Seattle (and no issues with the trip).

    Rhiannon, the pic of you and the hubby is lovely; you look gorgeous.

    Everything went ok for my weekend. Lots of compliments on how beautiful the ceremony was and everyone reportedly had a great time at the reception. It definitely did fly by! I'll post pics soon.

    @brisingr86 Can't wait for pictures! Thanks for the 16:8 break down...I may try a week of each starting with the 5:2 this week an then the 16:8 next week to see which works best for me.

    @Rhiannon0816 that is a GORGEOUS picture of you two! Stunning for sure!
