This weekend we have officially scheduled a girls-night-in event, E-vites were sent out and Joel’s house (April’s fiancé) is being taken over by the bridal party. I’m in charge of the bride’s makeup and several bridesmaids’ hair. It’s my goal to map out each girl’s “look” so that my stress level stays to a minimum and the fun-factor is at its peak during the wedding weekend festivities.
Another preparation that’s been in full effect for the past two weeks is my personal fitness and nutrition regimen; I’ve got to look fabulous in a bridesmaid dress in T-minus seven weeks (deep breath). Having been a bit lax on my nutrition and gym-time, I’ve revamped and am back in step with my body.
When life gets stressful I’m always quick to grab my favorite snack. For some reason my body always says… “Feed me Tim’s Jalapeno chips!” It’s usually in a really deep creepy voice and I imagine it looks like the Weight Watchers Hungry Monster. I hate it.
I’m really glad to be back on track. My mood and energy levels are greatly improved by exercise and my conscious eating habits. I’ve realized it’s typically a domino affect for me: If I exercise regularly, my eating habits follow suit.
Fitness and nutrition take effort – and just like anything, if you think about it and focus, you’ll typically find improvement in those areas. This can be attributed to many things in life – health and fitness just sometimes get pushed to wayside.
Just remember: Moving more and eating right keep the scary bad-eating-choice voice away. Raaaaar!
