oh hello there.

obviously i get a big fat FAIL regarding 1)updating my blog ever 2) sticking to p90x lean (haha) and 3) just making wedding related decisions.

hopefully this weekend will change at least one of the 3 i just mentioned. heading up to tallahassee tomorrow to meet the florist, chat with the caterer and potentially ask my older brother to officiate our wedding. if we can accomplish all of those things, i will have a huge burden lifted from my shoulders.

i’ve warmed up the folks (a bit) to not using their pastor, but hopefully we don’t have to have hours long discussions over the particulars of a marriage and why they feel it’s important for it to be a real live minister marrying us. not that we don’t want our ceremony to be religious, we just want the person who is declaring us married to know us, love us and epitomize what we believe marriage takes to withstand good and bad times.  (i need to remember this point for any discussions that may come up)

 

p90x:day3-4

so day 3 did my workout from day 2 that i missed. yay. then headed to orlando for the ucf game and my FI birthday…needless to say today was spent recovering from the 7 hours of tailgating and 3 hours of gamewatching/taco bell time. ugh. i am disgusted with myself, but what else can i do besides jump back in tomorrow. i can do a couple of two a days to catch back up, right? thanks for being so understanding, blog friends. 

p90x:lean (day 2)

so i went and tried my dress on at lunch. LOVE HER! it was so cool to see MY dress come out of the bag- mine. no one elses- she is so damn pretty. so after smiling at my goofy self in the mirror we had to celebrate with a couple glasses of wine. sounds like a great day, you say, and i have to agree…unless you count in the little cardiox routine i was supposed to knock out tonight. uh oh. i cannot believe that on day 2 i already moved around the weekly schedule. please tell me i am not horrible- i’m just taking today as my ‘rest’ day of the week and i’ll do the cardio x tomorrow am before heading out to the ucf football game.

i would beat myself up more but seriously people- my dress was great.  besides having to take in just a little at the hips and bustshe fit perfectly. i want to go back and visit her tomorrow…and the next day. hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

the dress!!!

holy sh*tballs.  just got a call last night that my dress is in. wanted to at least have a few weeks of p90 under my belt before i tried it on (it was supposed to come in october) but there is no way i can wait.

my friend lauren and i are headed over to demetrios at lunchtime to try her on. crossing fingers that i still love her and she loves my curves.

review of day 1.

oh my. that was way harder than i remember. i guess it just goes to show how out of shape i am. core synergistics kicked my ass. i said it. i was totally overconfident going into that workout. seriously thought i was going to puke a couple of times. i have not had a workout like that in awhile. but hey- afterwards i’m feeling great! god i love tony horton. now i’m watching the office!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay for season premieres. getting ready for always sunny as well. woo hoo!

p90x:lean (day 1)

so today is day 1 of p90x lean. i’ve done p90x before (jan-march of this year) but i did the normal version. kicked my butt but also produced great results.  of course, after about 5 months of resorting back to my old eating habits and reducing my workouts to just3-4 times a week, those results have diminished.

so- since today marks my ’7 months to go til the wedding’ i figure why not start now? my goal is to  go through one round on the lean version, and then with 4 months left til the wedding take a few weeks off and then pump out the p90 to really tone everything up for the wedding.

my mantra is arms, arms, arms. i want something like this:

muscular yet lean. jessica biel looks awesome.

i know some girls out there think she isn’t girly enough- too masculine… and there are times where i watch tv and read the gossip sites (dlisted anyone?) and want to be really ‘skinny’ like some of the celebs portrayed out there,  but i know my body type (athletic) and i know what i like to see on myself- which is toned muscles, not skinny flab and how i like to feel (strong). does that make sense?  anyways, if i can come anywhere near these arms i will be oh so happy. not to mention that if i can lose some of my spare tire (gross) i will be thrilled!

mi familia

just thought i would introduce the loves that i live with.
