{A Week Full of Wedding Activities}

August 9, 2012 Comments : 8

This Saturday is my first bridal shower, and I’m so excited to share it with all of the important ladies in my life! Two of my aunts & my cousin are hosting this shower, and it’s going to be an “afternoon tea”. I am so grateful to all of them for offering to host a shower, and then to go above and beyond to make sure that the shower is exactly how I want it to be! They discussed the plans with me, and we all decided on the tea party theme because it’s classy and fun. I’ve heard a few things about the planning, but I won’t see the final product until Saturday. ๐Ÿ™‚ It already sounds like it will be fabulous, and I can’t wait to share it with some of my favorites!

I’ve been searching frantically for the past few weeks for the “perfect” dresses for my bridal showers, wedding rehearsal, and also a chic white dress to change into after our wedding reception. I’ve looked online at practically every department store, and scoured all my favorite flash sale sites (Ruelala, Hautelook, Beyond the Rack) day in and day out…but so far I haven’t found anything that I LOVE. I ordered a white Vince Camuto dress from Hautelook two weeks ago, but I really didn’t like it once it arrived, so I ended up sending it back. I finally found two dresses that I like, from Bluefly, and they should arrive tomorrow. My fingers are crossed that I like at least one of them….so I can wear something new to my shower! 
The Vince Camuto dress I ended up returning
Saturday kicks off an entire week of wedding activities, actually. I’m almost positive that this upcoming week is going to be the second busiest week we’ll have in addition to our actual Wedding Week! Here’s what’s happening:
  • Saturday – Bridal Shower #1!
  • Monday – FINAL Wedding Dress fitting!
  • Tuesday – Meeting with our wedding cake baker
  • Wednesday – Getting things together for bridal portraits and getting my veil steamed
  • Friday – Bridal Portraits! It’s going to be a busy day – getting my hair done, then makeup, then meeting my photographer somewhere beautiful for bridals! I haven’t even gotten the photos taken yet, and I’m already anxious to see the finished product!
  • Saturday – Bridal Shower #2 – my future sisters-in-law are hosting this one
  • Sunday – FINAL meeting with our priest to discuss ceremony plans and meeting with the church music director to pick our ceremony music!

It makes me tired just looking at the list…but also VERY excited! We’re getting SO close to the big day (65 days from today!) and everything is falling into place. Well, mostly. ๐Ÿ™‚ I still have plenty of things to get done in the next 64 days…so I better get to work!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good โ€” Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good โ€” I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM ๐Ÿฅณ Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasnโ€™t sure how Iโ€™d feel ๐Ÿ˜… I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldnโ€™t push myself in my workouts like I usually do ๐Ÿ˜’ After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed ๐Ÿ˜†, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because Iโ€™ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry โœŒ๐Ÿผ I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because thatโ€™s about all mine could handle ๐Ÿคช

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ Time went by faster and I didnโ€™t have any nausea from being hungryโ€ฆI looked forward to and savored all of todayโ€™s meals โ€” the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoonโ€ฆkeeping it light because of how little Iโ€™m consuming this week ๐Ÿ˜… Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because itโ€™s the lightest day of food and Iโ€™m already pretty hangry in general ๐Ÿคฃ Interestingly, Iโ€™ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
