Brides on a Mission: August

jesstiger81

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I am starting to track this week. Measured & weighed myself since I forgot to last week, and since I'm new.
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): It ended, LOL!
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Having issues with my brother... he's kinda selfish
4. Any wedding news updates: Met with photographer, & caterer last week and picked out groomsmens' tuxedos! Also decided on our honeymoon... St. Lucia!
5. Weekly wrap up: I didn't exercise really but I was really good with my calories. For the first time in a LONG time I actually stayed within my goal every day. I think I got off the extra couple of pounds that I had gained over the past few weeks, so I feel like I have broken even, and if I can keep up this pace, I'll have a loss for next week! Yay!

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 2 lbs. so excited because I didn't do well last weekend and last night I went out for Mexican with my parents so I was pretty pumped to see a loss!
2. Highlight of the past week: Having today off from school and work and getting to spend some time with my parents last night
3. Lowlight of the past week: attending a two and half hour meeting yesterday to discuss a fundraising event that I'm helping plan and finding out our location double booked us so we have less than a month to find somewhere else to fit 400 people and also having to decide to switch from a half-marathon to a 5k for a race that is in 3 weeks because I haven't been training properly
4. Any wedding news updates: working on finding a dj, the one I wanted is already booked for our date. Also getting the hotel rooms blocked since most of our guests will be coming from out of town
5. Weekly wrap up: Finished my second week of classes and was fairly productive... although I already seem to be losing motivation this semester. I felt a little tired and sluggish this week so in the coming week I am really going to try to find some energy and have some good workouts and get a lot of stuff done in school and for the wedding. Plus I am really looking forward to this weekend, my fiance and I are going to spend the long weekend with his parents and hopefully do some swimming and boating. Hope to keep my eating under control this weekend!

hope everyone has an awesome weekend and a good labor day! If you are going to cookouts or anything, stay strong and resist the temptation! Just think wedding dress...

1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: I am not weighing in this week because it's TOM and I don't want to be discouraged, but I took my measurements on Monday and I had lost about .2 to .5 inches from everywhere that I measure

2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): no school or work on Monday and spent some time with my future in laws down by a lake last weekend

3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): My mom is going through chemo and she has been the sickest I've seen her since she's started this week, and also my dad is a type 1 diabetic and his blood sugar has been either in the 400s or the 30s pretty much all week, he eats really healthy and has been to about 10 different doctors and none of them can figure out what's going on. so scary. I just wish I could do something to help them

4. Any wedding news updates: looking for a DJ, asked my fiances little cousin to be our flower girl and she was so excited, she is four and she told me she has a red dress that she can wear, but I told her she might be a little bit bigger next year lol, but then she asked if my fiance and I were going to kiss at the wedding and I said yes and she said I might throw up

5. Weekly wrap up: I haven't done very well food wise this week, I am going dress shopping 5 weeks from today so I need to get focused and start working harder!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

did anyone start one for September????

bride71412

I don't think anyone has. I didn't even realize that this one was for August. I was wondering why no one was posting anything new.

I made so many friends on the Brides on a Mission thread, that I thought it would be nice to have a place for all of us to go AFTER the wedding.

I'm trying to get a Newlyweds on a Mission thread going, but there have been no takers so far. If interested, please go here:
