My Thighs Are On Fire!

I did something rather crazy this weekend. I paid for workout classes. WHAT? Such insanity! I know, I never saw myself doing such a thing either but with less than four and half months until the wedding, I needed a change. Admittedly, I was becoming bored with home workouts and my level of intensity throughout my sweat sessions has not been at it's full potential. I was over it. 

Enter late night online purchases.

This afternoon I went too my first Pure Barre class. I took ballet growing up, I do pilates regularly, and while my arms and abs leave some room for improvement my legs have always been solid and strong. Ho. Ly. Crap. The arms were a bit tough, core work was a struggle, but my legs literally went to jelly, nothing like looking at yourself in a mirror and being terrified your lower half will give way under you as it shakes like crazy! Regardless, I loved it. I am super crazy and going back tomorrow morning and every day the rest of the week (it's my spring break, I have to take advantage!). 

I have a month unlimited pass and I am hoping this will be my wedding workout match from heaven. Because, although it snowed/hailed on me as I was walking (dragging myself) home, swimsuit season is also approaching! Yay beaches, warm weather, and SUN!

Becoming one of THOSE people

I now obsess over table linens. Oh yes, table linens. We are turning the corner into the final countdown to wedded bliss. We are getting legally married this weekend (long story) but in  a way it's super awesome. After over seven and a half years it's kind of fun to do this twice, and my name change paperwork and appropriate documents will be in order before summer even hits. I love getting things done ahead of time! 

Now, back to the linens. Our venue requires us to rent chair covers and ties. Fear not, I have found a virtual online builder to appropriately envision the colors and now want to rent table cloths because, why not??? On the upside I nearly have the bridesmaids gifts figured out and assembling invitations will begin over my spring break in a couple of weeks. I can't even complain about our progress, we're accomplishing a lot each month! But I am still freaking out over mundane things and need to calm down.

One area I am NOT thrilled about? My diet and exercise. To be honest, winter has wreaked havoc on my weight. I have also had the flu for about a week and am feeling miserable. Such things are not too great for my desired washboard abs. After my body heals itself a bit, I look forward to implementing (and strictly following) a healthy, manageable regimen. But considering I just ate some full fat, full delicious coffee ice cream, I plan to begin tomorrow. With a 6 am workout. Can't wait. 

Vanity absolutely plays a role in considering myself bridal material, but more importantly I just want to feel amazing. There is a lot of build up for one day to kick of the rest of my life with the one perfect person, but I want to begin feeling confident and healthy.
