Brides on a Mission: Week 9

Posts: 281
Hello brides!
The end of last week was a little emotionally rough for some people on the board. Let us all just remember that we are here to support/motivate each other and also give support/motivation to each other. Our wedding days will all be here before we know it and we want to look out best…that is our goal and let’s all stick to looking amazing!
I think we all got the swing of how our board works, so I will make this short and sweet! (If you are new, please look back on the support and motivation boards from previous weeks if you would like.)

Week 9 challenge: For this week, let’s use a challenge proposed by lilricki. Throughout the week add the following to your workout: 100 push ups, 100 sit ups, 100 squats. It only comes out to be about 15 of each exercise per day. If it is too much all at once think about breaking it up during your day. Thanks (lilricki for coming up with this week’s challenge!)

Brides on a Mission: week 8
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Gained .5 (boo to TOM!)
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): One of my soon to be cousin-in-laws (who I've known since we were 7 years old) had a birthday for her 2 year old on Saturday and we had a flashback to our birthdays when we were little because she had the "monkey lady" perform at her daughter's birthday. This woman puts on a show with a puppet monkey that is so entertaining for kids... the puppet interacts with kids and the kids just eat it up! After 30 years, it's still pretty impressive! The kids loved it and that they were able to make their own sock monkeys at the end!
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Stressing myself out over work projects, which in turn made me so stressed/anxious that I didn't eat well and didn't make it to the gym as much. This is a new week and I'm getting my bum to the gym this week!
4. How many brides-maids/grooms men do you have standing up: 1 MOH and 3 bridesmaids/1 Best Man and 3 groomsmen
5. Any wedding news updates: So excited that my blue peep toe shoes should be arriving on Tuesday!! Plus, we made our final food tasting appointing with the caterer, and my first dress fitting is in a few weeks! Can't wait!!
6. What is your go to healthy snack: Fruit, when we have it in the house, and low-fat string cheese
7. What time of day do you work out: I usually go to the gym to do my workout, so during the week, I go in the evenings (because I can't ever seem to get motivated enough to get up early to get to the gym) and on the weekends, I usually try to go mid-morning before the big crowds get there. If I'm not going to the gym, then we'll take the dogs for a walk and play with them.
8. Weekly wrap up: Thank goodness the rough week is over! I epically failed at working out and eating right! Boo!

Brides on a Mission: week 8
1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: Lost .5lb
2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Went snowboarding on Saturday after being ready to give up on the whole thing last time I went. Glad I got back out on the mountain and overcame my fear of failing at it again. Conditions were terrible but I'm glad I know I really want to go again next time FH wants to. Also my run Friday morning was fanastic. I felt so much better than I did doing the same run just a month ago, I can feel myself getting into better shape!
3. Lowlight of the past week (not weight, just something that you need support with): Ate really badly on Sunday night and Monday of last week after being really good for 8 days in a row. But I have been good since then and I'm hoping to be good all of this week.
4. How many brides-maids/grooms men do you have standing up: Well still up in the air but 3 confirmed on my side (since my orginal MOH might have to work that weekend now), two best men and two other groomsmen on his side.
5. Any wedding news updates: Made appointments for our next trip down to NC at the end of March. Now at the 6 month mark so I feel like I need to get more serious about both planning and losing weight.
6. What is your go to healthy snack: Fruit fo sho, I also keep quaker weight control oatmeal at my desk for a snack at work.
7. What time of day do you work out: I am all over the place on this one. Bikram yoga and soccer are in the evening, so that's wehn I do them. I do boot camp on Tues/Thurs at 6:30 am. If I run I usually do it in the morning, since I prefer to run outside and it gets dark to early right now. But if I didn't have to work during the day my ideal workout time would probably be around 2pm.
8. Weekly wrap up: Not the most successful week ever last week, but not a bad one either. I've learned I need to be a lot more careful about my weekend eating, too. That's when I'm hanging out with FH and either what he makes for us or what we eat (and drink) out has a lot more calories then I realize. I probably would have seen a lot more progress by now if I was just a little more careful on the weekends. But I'm glad I'm at least going in the right direction right now.0 -

So I forgot to mention in my post that I might be a little MIA during the next few months. Dont worry, I will still post the board each week but I just wont be reading/commenting as much. I graduate from nursing school in June and I have a huge exit exam in May and then my state boards sometime over early summer. I need to keep my head in the school game and not be distracted.:glasses:
I am putting wedding stuff on hold (we have done everything we needed to up to this point anyways) since that was the plan: I got the ring before I graduated but had to not do any wedding "stuff" my last semester of school.
I am going to miss being so active in our board. :sad: I will try to catch up here and there. Everyone, keep up your good work!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss.0 -
For all those who were involved with the wedding/husband opinion conflict at the end of last week: Jennplus2 just messaged me and applogized for what happend. She said that she was refering to the wedding TV show that the above post mentiond but she didn't realize she didn't say that in her own post. She wants us all to know that she is very sorry that she offended some people. She said she didn't want to come back to the board because so many people were upset with her. She asked me to pass along the applogie to everyone on the board.0

@wannabrn10: I give you props for juggling everything: attending college, planning a wedding, and being so motivational on our 'brides on a mission' board. In college it was hard enough for me to work part time and do homework and find time for my social life, let alone eat healthy. Because w/ eating healthy comes meal planning/food prep and fresh produce, which would typically go bad since I felt I was always on the run. And beyond all this I didn't have time to exercise (so at least I signed up for some HP classes to get a half hour in twice a week....) Anyways, I'm proud of you and your hard work! And all of us on here are very grateful for your enthusiasm, trust me... in the back of my mind I'm thinking about how I need to check in w/ all the mfp brides.. and it matters! We will miss you when your MIA for a bit, but good luck w/ school/tests/everything! You'll do great! And we'll be happy to hear from you when we can!!! :-) Thanks for your inspirational posts always!!!0

@katiecat9: love that your putting your own personal touch on the favors! What are you making? I'm still debating on whether I'm going to do favors, or make a donation to the heart association and army ranger roundation (just two that are close to my heart.)
Any party favor ideas from other brides on here? I'd love to hear them!!
I've thought of wild flower seeds in a packet w/ a thank you from us. And yah, thats it.. I'm stuck! 0 -
@dezil I am hand painting a peacock feather on clear candle votives to give out as favors.
I like that you're considering making a donation to an organization- we considered that and instead I decided to hold a 10k fund raiser for the wounded warrior battalion at Ft. Bragg, which will be the day after our wedding.0
