Weddingbee boards

@o0olibelulao0o:  I totally agree with ya on that one! I have been SO bad over Xms holiday, to make up for it i've had to hit the gym every day to work it all off...things we do though huh.

But it's worth it to look our absolute best on our day!

I was doing really well pre-xmas, working out hard, now since Xmas has been I think i've gained a good 1-2kgs!! Not good....then theres New yrs around the corner so that will be another plateau lol..ahh well after New yr it'll be back on track again..doing gym again up to New yrs but wasting my time as i'll probably put it all back on from all the alcohol..not strong enough to say no to booze lol

@KMsBride: Yeah good and bad come with the holiday season right! i'll regret the consuming once i'm back working out after it all...but i know it's well worth it at the time lol

Would love to hear how your progress (and the other bees) goes after the holidays....will be motivating to hear of everyones success with their weight loss stories! (not weight gain aye girls!)

@DarleneP: I doubt you're the only one :-P I too have also :-( Back to gym tomorrow!

@wmontano77: I hear ya! yep lots of luck to ya, mines April 7th so 2 wks less to turn this body of mine into a lean mean, toned machine lol...i'm hoping to lose a good 5kgs...starting from today..now that new yrs is over and done here....all desserts/alcohol/bad foods are now all gone...thank god!

@ST2011: I totally hear what you're saying!!! I hate that arms are always one of the biggest focus points and yet SO hard to get perfect! I've been doing lots of cardio and weights on my arms over last couple of mths and although i've toned up a bit it's not enough by far! I've started doing my pilattes dvd and after only 2 sessions after a long break i've noticed improvement already...so i'm definately keeping this in my routine..i know what you mean with the bulking up too...it feels SO good pumping the iron aye but downside is you are more bulky than toned...i'm glad your dress fits great though, that must be awesome!!..i've just purchased mine from the states (i'm in New Zealand) and I won't have it till February so I totally can't wait to try it on for the first time (i'll definately need length altered as i'm only 5'3 and it's 5'9). My tough areas are the same as you, hips are coming down slowly but arms...well you know the rest. And i'm doing a good variety of exercises on my tummy and noticing improvement....i don't think i'll ever have washboard abs and I don't mind, so long as it's semi flat then i'm fine with that.

I understand when you say you want to look fab on your day, that's how I feel too as like the rest of the girls no doubt....keep it up though!! We can keep each other motivated then perhaps...My fi and out 5yr old did a great hike today up a mountain, so was good cardio then we came home and did our pilattes workout and after an awesome sweat up we had chicken and fried rice....not too fattening but high carbs probably..oh and a glass of red wine from new yrs...so a bit naughty tonight but ahh well...hitting the gym in the morning...i'm far from perfect...always have to have a lil treat here and there but i'll always try work it off where possible

@courtney48: Hey twin! Have an awesome run, it can be hard to start with but once you're doing it you feel so much better at the end aye! Sending you some positive vibes to get ya going!!! Just think about all the jaws you'll drop when they all see you looking drop dead gorgeous on the day when you arrive (especially your darling), that's my motivation anyway..

Yep lets tone tone tone all the way! I just got back from the gym and feeling good...having eggs for lunch and will have a smoothie for dinner....i'm pretty sure when we head out later i'll be having something naughty aswell but oh well, i'll work it off tomorrow...

@mrshim:  sounds exciting! I haven't got mine either..well i've ordered it but i've bought it from a shop in the CA (I live in New Zealand) and my work mate is heading to the States today and will bring it back with her (in 21 sleeps) and i'm SO excited...I can't wait to see it in person and to try it on!!

Hope you gurls are going well with your preparations ;-)

@Kenic315:  I actually sent mine out before Xmas...shocking aye lol. Just wanted to give people plenty of time as i need RSVP's by mid February as i'm organsing personalised wedding favours which takes 6wks to order and dispatch (being made in Aussie and i'm in NZ)....and still I haven't had many RSVPs...very annoying!

Got all the big stuff done, venue/reception all in one, photographer/videographer done, cake maker, wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses, honeymoon, pretty much the main stuff done..have to re-organise entertainment though as original one has fallen through but just smaller stuff like wedding vows and "on the day" stuff to be done..very exciting times ahead for us all though woohoo!!!! Hows your list going?

Going hard with the gym/sports and exercise...lost 10kgs in 6mths so 3 more to go and i'll be a happy happy lady on the day...

My first invitations started arriving to my guests yesterday!  I got my first shower present today (thanks FSIL!). I have my bachelorette and shower in NY next weekend. Then shower #2 down here in FL the following weekend.  Followed by my first dress fitting while my mom is in town.  I decided she will be the only one that gets the honors of seeing me in my dress prior to the wedding.  I have my walk through with the caterer and the venue tomorrow afternoon.  I got my placecards and all the candles, still need to get some electric tealights.  Need to figure out table numbers... when I know how many tables.  What else?? Bought shoes this weekend, love them!  Time is flying, April will be hear before we all know it!

@ST2011:  I totally hear what you mean with the RSVP's! Yeah i feel like theres so much I want to be able to get finalised but can't till I have confirmation of names and numbers....so annoying, especially when I sent them out before Xmas...and yeah i'm the same, i've been told people are coming but by word of mouth..they haven't actually told us...very annoying!

You sound like you're plans are coming along like mine...guess what, it was 2mths exactly for us on the 7th of Feb! how cool is that...and only not long for you other ladies too....woop woop lol

As for my hens party (as we NZ girls call it) my BM's have been a little dissapointing and haven't organised what they planned to so i've decided I just want to have a big dinner with all my girlfriends (and family) and get merry and drunk and dance the night away...not the typical night but ahh well...we're not your typical couple..we've got a 5yr old son so we not doing everything the "traditional" way hehe..and that suits us fine ;-)

@CarolineM:  that's SO cool you're having your Mum there with you...i'm sure she'll love that time alone with you too..

i'm doing similar, my dress arrives home next week (7 more sleeps) and I can't wait! I want to try it on for the first time with just my Mum there, be nice to have that special time with her as everything has been mainly with me and my darling or me and the BM's so I want Mum to have this time with me...

But awesome ladies, it's getting close now....very very close!! Yahoo!
