And the Wedding "Way of Life" Starts... Tomorrow

We've all said it: "My diet starts tomorrow."

Fast forward three months, and you're still waiting for "tomorrow" to come. Well, like it or not, my three months are up. My tomorrow DOES start tomorrow... anyone willing to help? I've always read that two poeple are better than one, and three people are better than two. I need a wedding diet buddy (or ten)!

My first plan of action: stop thinking of "diet" as having a negetive connotation. I once heard that what you eat every day is a diet, regardless if it consists of veggies and baked chicken or KFC cole slaw and fried chicken (yum!). So, for all intensive purposes, I will be referring to my wedding "diet" as my wedding "way of life" henceforth.

Second plan of action: getting my butt back to the gym! 5am wake-up call, anyone? While I'm not looking forward to this (come on, who would?!), I know it's the only way I'll work out. By the time 4:30pm rolls around, not only am I d-u-n done, I'm ready to unwind -- with a little bit of wedding planning!

Third, and final, plan of action: quit eating crappy food (my "last meal" today? The pulled pork sammich from 54th Street Grill -- amazing!). I've stocked up on veggies and eggs (yeahhh protein!), fruit for my dessert (I'm a sugar fiend, so this is going to be diff-i-cult), and lots of sugar free drink mix.

So now I just need someone to hold me accountable for all my plans of action. I'm willing to invest the time of "reporting" my habits to someone and give motivation to said person if another is willing to return the favor (or the loathing, as it were). Anyone want to be my "way of life" buddy?

Wish me luck (and I'll do likewise)!

Welcome!

Why hello there! I know there are a million and one blogs out there about any and all things wedding-related... so what's one more?!

If you are like me, whether soon-to-be engaged, soon-to-be married, recently wedded, or just have a love weddings in general, you can't get enough of the how-to tricks of the trade, embellishment ideas, quick diy (and long, drawn-out, detail-oriented but oh-so-fantastic-when-completed) projects, money-saving tips, and things-you-never-thought-of-but-now-can't-imagine-not-using ideas. Well, hopefully this blog will turn into one of those catch-all discussion boards. Whether it be regarding diy projects, fashion, fitness (because, let's face it, what bride-to-be doesn't want to drop a few lbs before her wedding?!), or just a place to vent about your bridesmaid-zilla or controlling future mother-in-law (not that mine is -- love you, Rhoda!), I hope all you out there come to find my blog as a place of comfort or the much-needed humorous relief you need to get you through the day!

Much love,
Miss Forget-Me-Knot
