Growing Out....COOL...NOT

So I have been doing really well with my trying to loose weight ever since we decided we are getting married. I am working out EVERY day for at least one hour and I am about to bump it up to at least two hours. I really do have way more energy and I am in a better mood every day. I take these really cool classes every morning and every morning the same ladys are there. I have gotten to know a few of them and this is what I have learned.

One....when you are told that your body will never be the same after having a baby that is a HUGE lie...I have come to realize that people tell you that so you won't become a member of proana.com. Thats a website where you can join and aneroxic girls chat about what they didn't eat that day. After having a baby it is hard to get up and work out because you have a new baby at home and the last thing on your mind is going to the gym. Also after having a baby you never get to sleep so when you have five minutes to eat something you grab something really fast like a cookie in stead of grilling chicken on the george foreman grill. Getting your body back after a baby is hard but it can be done...very slowly. I am loosing on average 2 pounds a week.

Two...Working out can be so much fun. During the classes I spend most of my time laughing than thinking about how much I am hurting.

Three...Even though these ladies are super super super nice and sweet I still hate them for having their six pack abs after having four kids.

Four...When doing a body pump class (cardio class using a barbell and weights) DON'T wear a low cut work out shirt if you have had a double F boob job done!!! You will for sure being showing some NIP!

Five...Bring your own yoga mat....do you know how many people sweat on the mats during the day and they only get cleaned at the end of the day! SICK

I have a long way to go but at least I am enjoying my new lifestyle!

Week in review

This past week has been a crazy one for us. It was Jakes birthday on the 13 so all week we were going out with different family members. We went to Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday with his mom, sister, memaw, papaw, bonnie, and caleb. Then on Thursday we went to Longhorn with his Dad and Betty. Then on Friday we went to Ninja with some friends. I also surprised Jake with a puppy for his birthday!! He is so cute....his name is Kane Calvin Corley. I wanted to name him Calvin but Jake said that was a girly name so we named him Kane.

In other news.....my Mom and I went to look at dresses and we ended up finding the one and we ordered it. The only bad thing is we had to special order it so it would be longer and it takes 16 weeks to get so that puts me at getting it on June 22nd and my wedding date it July 18. I am doing really well with loosing weight too so I am gonna have to get it altered the day I get it. Anyways I love it...when I put it on and walked out to show mom she started to cry.

I still feel stressed about the wedding even though the place is booked, I have my dress, all the girls know about their dresses and when to send me money, I have an appointment with the florist and photographer. There are so many little things that you have to do for a wedding that I never realized. Its ok though because I have my Mom helping out a lot and Jakes family as well. Plus Carrie is getting married two months before me so if and when I forget to do something she is there reminding me to do it.

Forrest Hills Resort and Spa

So what seems like 50 million different wedding locations, Jake and I decided on where we are getting married. Forrest Hills is a resort that is on a mountain and it is amazing. There is a spa, horseback riding, pools, walking/hiking trails, tons of things to do. We are getting married outside (yes I know, July in Georgia is crazy BUT it will be at night AND we are on a mountain so there will be a nice breeze) in this beautiful gazebo right next to a small waterfall. I'm telling ya its so pretty. I will be brought in by a horse and carriage and after we get married Jake and I will go off in the horse and carriage. Then everybody goes to the reception hall where there will be a dinner buffet and cake. Jake and I got to try the food on Sunday and its to die for. Its so yummy! We are also renting out two lodges for the weekend so all of our out of town guests and close friends will get to stay at the resort for the weekend.

I also found my bridesmaid dresses and maid of honor dress. They are by Alfred Angelo and three girls will wear one dress three girls will wear another and my sister will wear a different one. My colors are seafoam and robin egg blue. Finding my dress is another story. To be honest I am scared to go look right now even though I know I really need too. I have been doing really well at the gym though I am working out every day at least an hour and somedays I even do two hours. I also have been eating a lot better as well so maybe in a few weeks I will start trying on dresses.

I feel a lot less stressed having found our spot and we both are so in love with it. I can't wait til July!
