268 days until THE big day and I know a two things for sure:

  • I want to FEEL good mentally and physically on my wedding day
  • I don't want to stress out about food the week of my wedding

And that means, it is time to get to work. I'm setting a goal to lose 40 pounds for the big day - that is a happy weight for me, one I know I feel good at and don't have to kill myself to keep. The last few months, I have let so many things get in the way, but now I am ready to get after it!

I've done all sorts of plans over the years, but I want something I know I can stick with for more than a month or two. So, while I might make different plans within my schedule, these will be my four truths to hold onto/guidelines to follow:

Four Truths of My Plan
I am commiting to these things for 2016

  1. Move! I am going to more every day, even if it is just a walk at lunch. I am commiting to at least five hours of get after it workouts every week. At home or on the road, I know how to make this happen.
  2. Enjoy life! Make smart decisions so that I don't miss out on the birthday cakes and showers, that means making my weekdays really count and not going crazy on the weekends.
  3. Never give up! When an unplanned cheat happens, I often just throw up my hands and say, "to hell with it" and eat whatever I can the rest of the day. Time to change that behavior and get back to my focs.
  4. Take care of me! I need to get sleep and not be stressed out. I am a great example of what stress can do your body if you let it and I have done the work and made the decisions to knock out most of the sources of stress and anxiety in my life. I need to keep focusing on that and a little namaste here and there as well. That also means, sometimes other things will take a back seat to my fitness and that's ok, time to let go of a few things.

So hear is to feeling great on my wedding day and enjoying every moment of my gorgeous white (ivory) dress!
