I’m having a hard time staying motivated this week in pretty much all aspects of my life. My to-do list doesn’t have a single thing crossed off of it, I’ve been shoving Valentine candy in my mouth every time I turn around, and clutter is building up in piles all over the house.
The one thing that has come easily to me this week has been exercise, and I’ve realized that while there are other things in my life that I don’t have complete control over, I do have the power to find time in my schedule for a workout.

When it comes to planning a wedding, one thing’s for sure: there’s a lot of partying. And, it’s not JUST on your wedding day. There’s the engagement party, the bridal shower (often more than one), a bachelorette party, all the menu tasting...combine that with life’s normal holiday celebrations and party foods become your weekly menu. If you’re trying to lose weight and stay healthy, that can be a big problem.
Let’s get one thing straight: I started working out because I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. I continued working out because I liked that I could buy smaller clothes and I felt better. Vanity is certainly in play here, but it’s not the only reason I work out. In fact, looking good is no longer the main reason I work out. These days, I hit the gym (or grass, or pavement) because those workouts are saving my sanity - especially now that I’m a bride.
