Wednesday: Just 40 min of cardio (my break day) abs on the ball and lower leg lifts on chair thing--Done! Thursday: Pull & 45 min intervals running (15x1) eliptical (15x2); lower ab work Didn't go; It was actually beautiful and sunny in WA so I went for a 3 mile run to the bluffs and then washed my car while FI mowed the lawn......we take advantage of our sunshine here when we can get it!Friday: Push & 30 min cardio; obliques/bicycle and crunches Went; did 45min instead Saturday: Workout pull weights with Andy/possible run outside Didn't make it; had dress fitting and then napped for 2 hours before going out with the girls; danced for 2 straight hours though....much "droppin like it's hot" had to have burned some calories Sunday: Workout pull weights with Andy/possible run outside Went; make up for not working out saturday; did 60 min cardio and weights; Andy golfed....slacker. Monday: spin class (50 min) & yoga class (1hr) right after 5:15-7:30. I signed up for the class, so that means I have to go! Phew...that wore me out just writing it....I wish that was enough just thinking about it. I'm on 3 month bikini countdown. Yikes! Not too bad.....feeling focussed...but dang it is hard!!! You guys are all keeping me motivated....everyone is kicking booty

Carly is always on the hunt for a good shoe...I think she missed her calling as the shoe stylist on Sex and the City...hee hee! I like the secod leopard ones. I was thinking something like this: Betseyville Vixon Pumps Black Multi: VIXON_BLKMLT CutesyShoes Steve Madden Laveda Pumps Leopard (Tan): LAVEDA_LEOPARD CutesyShoes) Steve Madden Arouse-P Pumps Leopard (Tan): AROUSE-P_LEOPARD CutesyShoes) Steve Madden Arouse-P Pumps Black White Zebra: arouse-p_blk/whtzebra CutesyShoes I love a good pointy toe pump with jeans and black top....that's my go to Friday wardrobe! Good luck!

Beautiful! Looks great with that work outfit, and I'm sure it will look equally as stunning in your dress! Too funny!

Congrats! Welcome back! Glad to hear everything went off without a hitch!

Good god girl! Those are the most amazing pics ever! You will be able to look back on these after many years together and be so proud of all that hard work! I just can't believe all of the amazing shots you have! You were miss model for a whole day! I'm so impressed with the book! I LOVE it!

Oh my....well this may be the fix to that thread about avoiding tanning lines in your wedding dress....wonder if they give out day passes for sunbathing.....just kidding! Yucko.....most of the people are probably not the types you want to see naked. tood funny.

Oh Yay Rachel! It's the Chill bride's big day. Can't wait to hear all the great details! You will have a blast....just hoping you didn't wear the blue wig as your "something blue!!"

Here are mine: both wedges for the beach and sky high stilettos for the reception!

Good lord. I envy your patience and sense of calm. That is definately a big bummer. Thankfully you have a few months to sort it all out. I can't imagine what will happen to all of the brides with weddings super close. That is very sad for the hotel staff. I hope it all happened for a reason! I'm sure you will pull off a beautiful and elegant wedding whereever you end up Alyssa! Good for you for not letting this get to you too much!!!

We too are at the Oceana terrace and have 3 high top tables for the cocktail hour at the same location. I am just extending the decor from the reception to those three tables. We will have the lanterns and tiki torches as well as luminaries all around the terrace, so I'm sure that will be plenty. I would just extend your decorations to the cocktail tables....keep it similar.

Beautiful Maura. Such a classic design. I really like the blues together!

I ordered all of mine from Sealife coral and seashells, wholesale seashells online, mother of pearl shells. They had the best selection and value by far from what I researched online. I got my ring holder shells from there and they are beautiful.

Good luck Leia! You will do great!

LOVE the hills...we don't have cable so I watch online from work the next day...it's the highlight of my workweek!

I just bought two at Target that are adorable. I'm going with all strapless suits too. That's the only detail FI knows about the dress since I was fretting about the style of bathing suits.....I bought this one: Xhilaration® Heart Bandeau - Ebony : Target but taking the middle strap off obviously. Xhilaration® Stripe Bandeau Swim Top - Grape/ White : Target I also got this style from VS in white and bright yellow: Victoria's Secret - Adjustable triangle top

I love this one! It's so perfect for the proposal last year at Butchart Gardens in Victoria. I already had great pics! Yipee!

It all looks perfect Rachel! For being the chill bride, you really came through with some fabulous things! I love the cake boxes the most! The colors really are gorgeous and the details work so well together! Have an amazing time! We can't wait to see your pics and hear about it when you get back!

Yesterday I did triceps, chest, and shoulders and 45 min on eliptical; Today is biceps, back, and lats with 45 min of cardio (I am trying a new cardio routine: 15 minutes on eliptical followed by 15 mintues of run/walk intervals on treadmill; then finish with 15 min on eliptical for total of 45 min) On weekends I increase it to 60 min with two of each intervals; I'm trying to get over this plateau....interval cardio seems to be the trick I hope!

We are dancing to "Heaven Must have sent you from above" by Marvin Gaye It is just so beautiful and sexy......We love old Motown music...it's perfect. YouTube - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Your Precious Love MARVIN GAYE Your Precious Love ( Feat. Tammi Terrell) (Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson) [Marvin:] Every day there's something new Honey, to keep me lovin' you And with every passin' minute Ah baby, so much joy wrapped up in it [Chorus:] [Tammi:] Heaven must have sent you from above [both:] Wo, heaven must have sent your precious love [T:] And I, I've got a song to sing Tellin' the world about the joy you bring And you gave me a reason for livin' And ooo, you taught me, you taught me the meaning of givin' [Chorus] [M:] To find a love like ours is rare these days 'Cause you've shown me happiness, yes, in so many ways [T:] I look in the mirror, and I'm glad to see Laughter in the eyes where tears used to be [M:] What you've given me I could never return 'Cause there's so much, girl, I have yet to learn [T:] And I wanna show, I wanna show my appreciation 'Cause when I found you, I found a new inspiration [Repeat chorus and fade]

Chanel makes a great one. Also, I use the Loreal color stay lipstick for everyday...the one in the silver mirrored case is very good.

I think you look great! I don't see anything wrong with your arms! Honestly, when you are self conscious about something, it is the first place your eyes will go. You aren't noticing your beautiful collar bone, great shoulders and defined back!!! You look fantastic in that dress. It is so flattering!

Congrats! The house looks great! The fireplace is a really nice feature. Good job on getting started on the projects; they can add up very fast! Can't wait to see more pictures!

I do spin once a week, but I have to follow it with a good back workout because it can be hard on your neck, shoulders, and back being kind of hunched over. The best combo is to do the spin class then the row machine for about 15 minutes....perfect full body workout. I love the adrenaline after a spin class...I have crazy energy. Definatley worth a try...but get a booty pad...you will hurt like heck after the first class if you butt muscles aren't used to it.

Welcome back! You looked radiant! Can't wait to see more pictures! So glad to hear it was more than you could have dreamed of!
