    Brides on a Mission: August
    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 0lbs. Just been maintaining with all the vacation and travel for work, it is all I have been able to do, but I do see it as an accomplishment in itself.

    2. Highlight of the past week: 1 month until the wedding! 2nd dress fitting! I love love love my dress! :bigsmile:

    3. Lowlight of the past week: In June dealt with FH's Unlce wanting to bring his mother-in-law to our small 95 person wedding that we had to be very selective about who we invited. Long story short. She is coming even though we asked them to make other arrangements because if his MIL cannot come his wike (FH's aunt) will not attend the wedding. :mad: I am annoyed by it all and had my first wedding related meltdown (Note: I had been stuck overnight in NY after my flight got canceled, then stuck in the airport for 5+hrs because my new flight was delayed, so emotions were hi already). I know in the long run it won't matter on the day of, but it is hard to believe the nerve of some people.


    4. Any wedding news updates: 1 month out. Most of the responses are in. 2 dress fittings done. Next table arrangements and the ceremony details to sort out.

    5. Weekly wrap up: Long week.

    My photobook came today and it is SO amazing! It was the best $100 I ever paid. I'm going to do slightly smaller versions for the parents and then small ones for the rest of the bridal party. I didn't have any issues with printint quality and the downloading program was so easy to use!

    Shannon

    I'm officially married! I've been away doing graduate school, but I'm back and trying to get fit for my new hubby.

    Oh, and I wanted to post my Blurb Wedding Photobook Album. Please check it out, since a lot of us talked wedding shop the last few months. I'm curious to see what you think about everything.:-)

    http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2400181

    Then click preview to flip through it.

    Thanks for all fo the motivation and support. I really felt beautiful on my special day.:-D

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: none, I am just starting this week.
    2. Highlight of the past week: getting ready to start eating healthy and exercising
    3. Lowlight of the past week: eating entirely too much processed, packaged junk food.
    4. Any wedding news updates: we booked the photographer and wedding reception location this week. When we first went to see the venue it was set up for a bunch of conferences so it was hard to tell what it looked like, but we get to go see it this weekend all decorated for a wedding so that we can get some ideas on how we want to set it up. I also started working on a wedding website
    5. Weekly wrap up: My weight has kind of yo-yo'd over the past couple of years. But I know if I don't get in shape for this wedding, I probably never will. I am sick of feeling self-conscious about my weight and I want to feel beautiful on our wedding day! I am so excited to get started! I am re-starting the Insanity series this week and will also be running a few times a week. I like to work out, but I struggle with food, so that will be my biggest challenge!

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Well none, I finally logged my actual weight. I only gained 2 pounds after vacation and TOM so I am pretty ok with that.

    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Bought my Wedding Band!!!

    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): I have some really lame bridesmaids that are just totally bumming me out and have me questioning our friendship. sucks!

    4. Any wedding news updates: I got so much done the last week! Invitations received and already sent out, candy for favors picked up, wedding band bought, and we finally registered for gifts!

    5. Weekly wrap up: I want to have another productive week and also continue to eat healthy. The gym of course is the one thing that gets put off when I am dealing with wedding stuff and car issues, so that sucks, but as long as I eat healthy I should be ok!

    Have a great week everyone!!!

    1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: down 3 lbs on Friday, but I didn't do very well this weekend so I don't want to see the scale again until friday!
    2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): my mom who has breast cancer finished her first round of chemo, they did a ct scan and said that she is a super responder and that her mass has shrunk significantly and she should just have 2-3 more rounds of chemo and then they think she'll be done! :)
    3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): started my last year of grad school last monday and I'm already stressed with how much I need to do. I feel like there isn't enough time in the day to get all my school stuff done, work, work out, and try to plan the wedding. I'm usually pretty bad at procrastinating so I am trying to stay focused this year!
    4. Any wedding news updates: officially booked our reception venue and got to see it all set up for a wedding. Unfortunately there are two different rooms we could choose from, I loved one but my fiance hated it, so we're going with his choice :/ of course I have a picky groom lol
    5. Weekly wrap up: I have 46 days until the day I go dress shopping for the first time, and 48 until our engagement pictures so I really, want to do well these next few weeks! I cannot afford to go crazy all weekend long eating everything in sight. I just need to stay focused and work hard!

    @bditbobcat that's exciting about your dress and about the rsvps! can't wait till I'm at that point :)

    Hope everyone has a good week!
