Fit Fare

It’s been about a month since this bride has blogged about her quest for wedding day perfection… and boy is she glad she’s been away for a while. Why? Because it gave me time to really focus on my routine and maintain it. I started taking weight lifting classes at my gym, running every other day, and cutting back on my favorite indulgences. The result? I’ve lost a dress size in the last two weeks. I went shopping at one of my favorite stores and low and behold, my usual size was too big! I’m back to a size six, and I couldn’t be happier.

There is no better motivation than meeting a goal. For me, getting to that point required help from an outsider. Taking classes at a gym or recreation center is a great way to focus your energy. It is time set aside for working out and time managed by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. Incorporating proper weight lifting into my cardio routine really helped me take off the inches too. Health experts do debate about what is more important, weight lifting or cardio. But many say that the right combination is the best way to shed pounds. To watch a video about the most effective workouts, which include cardio and weight training, check out WebMD.

Since I started planning for my wedding, this is the first time I’ve really felt accomplished. I hope to bring you more good news next week. To all you brides out there, don’t lose hope! You’ll eventually find your fitness groove and be closer to your wedding goals. I know I am.
