Almost There

I have been very hit and miss lately. Still loggin in, still working out but not really motivated, motivating, or losing weight. I feel like a total stress ball. My wedding is two weeks away and I have been eating all of my exercise calories. I have recently realized that that I need to refocus on what is going to give me the wedding I want rather than getting my 6 work outs in a week. I could strangle most of my wedding vendors. I could snap at work. I have even been grumpy with my fiance and if one more person makes a "bridezilla" joke, I might scratch their eyes out. Despite everything I am saying, I am seriously nice. Since when is it acceptable to call a stressed out bride a bridezilla? I know that everything will turn out beautiful and I will have an amazing wedding but I also know that an amazing wedding doesn't happen by accident. I have work to do still.

There is really no point to my post. I just needed to rant and I thought you ladies might understand.

Being stressed out is understandable. You're balancing planning a big event, work, time with your fiance, eating well, exercising, and time with loved ones. That would put a strain on anybody. Not everyone is going to understand the load you are carrying right now. Calling someone a bridezilla is never funny. It's downright mean. I'm sorry that other people are trying to bring you down. Perhaps they are jealous??

You've already made all your plans. It's two weeks away, so now it's a waiting game to see how everything will turn out. That can be scary when you've already invested so much time, energy, money, and emotion into your wedding.

Your wedding will be beautiful, but remember that 25 year from now no one is going to remember your centerpieces, what the bridesmaid's hair looked like, or what songs the DJ played. People will remember how in love you and your fiance were and how overjoyed they felt to be a part of your celebration.

Cut yourself some slack, sister! You're doing the best that you can. Be sure to do some self-love and find a way to relax and decompress each day. It could be going for a walk, reading a book. listening to a fav band, a bubble bath, or anything that you love. It doesn't have take long. 15 minutes can go a long way.

Enjoy this time in your life. If you're lucky, it only happens once :-) Congratulations and live it up in these next few weeks!

I never got a chance to post a thank you. Thank you. It was so wonderful to get your response and the lovely messages I got from other MFP'ers. My wedding is on Saturday and I am so happy. I'm flying to California tomorrow and I know it will be fantastic. I have been off the mark on my tracking lately but I know all is well. I don't feel as strongly about scratching peoples' eyes out and things will go as they will. I've done my part and I am ready to be happy.
