Wedding Fitness Plan
…yeah, that’s cliche. But let’s talk about part one of the wedding beautification grand master plan: fitness.
And to be clear, not everyone’s going to like this post. I’m talking about pole dancing (gasp) and body image and my own personal weird diet.
Because let’s be honest…I really do want to look my best at the wedding, and not just for the pictures. I want to feel beautiful, and that’s always been an uphill battle for me.

You see, over the course of my adult life, my weight has gone up and down like a yo-yo. And for the past five years, I’ve been pretty good at keeping it down-ish, but I have trouble seeing the good. Instead, I look in the mirror and see the exhausted, out-of-shape, 235 pound woman I was.
I’d show you a picture, but honestly, I’ve deleted everything from that time period…not because of the weight, but because it reflects a harder time in my life.
Anyway…
I’m currently pretty happy with the way I look, but I’m about 12 pounds over where I want to be. And I’d LOVE to say it’s muscle, but I have a sneaking suspicion that peppermint mochas, buttered toast, and four plates of Thanksgiving stuffing are to blame.
And even though people always tell me I’m going to lose weight while being engaged, I’ve put together a game plan…because I know me. I stress eat. ...
