As for TA's... worthless in my opinion (who I've dealt with so far). I keep going to FI, "I could have done this faster... what is the point?" I can't stand my TA. He is so bad with getting back to me via email. On the other hand my AS WC is the best thing that has happened to me yet, so helpful and sweet. I'm about ready to start sending my guests directly to Karisma to book, it's getting ridiculous.

Kelly - I used the chair AND the bands back and forth, it doesn't really feel like you're getting anywhere for a bit but you're strengthening your muscles. I literally just tried doing a pullup every single day on my own until one day I could! The lean version doesn't have any pullup exercises I don't think. Chest and back and legs and back, shoulder's and arms I think are all pullup stuff. Yeah yoga's no joke, I really had to make the most effort to push myself through that and Plyo.

Thanks Lindz! I figured you'd want to be apart of our game I'll post everyone's list in a few hours, just in case anyone else wants to join in.

Jess what an awesome planning thread! I love all the clothes too! You're BD pic is FANTASTIC! I didn't even realize this time you were SoCal, I should have been trying to get more tips from you! Did you ever buy a TTD?

Lindz - Come back, where did you go! I'm gonna BBM you

Katie - It's what I do! I'm constantly trying to organize or make things tougher on myself by adding to my load It's all good though! One of my close friends is pregnant, due 2 days before my wedding and I offered to through her a baby shower and she turned ME down saying I was crazy to add more to my plate! She's probably right... Andrea - You're so cute! We have such an awesome group I figured this would just be a really good idea on focusing and getting stuff done since many of us are 3-6 months away! I love your shoes BTW! Mine are very similar, white, peep toe, slingback as well! Nicole - I love your siggy picture, so cute! Alright ladies, I've created a document with all of our to do's, I'll post it tomorrow afternoon to give others a chance if they want to join us as well

Katie that's adorable!!!

Amyb - SUPER cute!! I love it and very easy to transport. Mexican tiles too are such a great idea but very heavy and breakable unless you bought them down in Mexico. Andrea - what kinda shoes did you get? I'm such a shoe fantatic it's ridiculous. The designer of my dress bought me any shoes I wanted in the bridal store and I'm still looking for more shoes even though he's making the dress length to them, I need to stop. That is SO cute what your dad said! Ok ladies, good idea, let's say a maximum of 3 items over two weeks just to keep the stress level down and if you get more done, bonus! Check in with us here when you've completed your items and what they are with pictures too if you like. I can make a update of who is getting what do so we don't forget and that way you'll see your progress as well! I will do a new list every other Friday, so we'll start tomorrow, here's what my 3 things are to do/get done: #1 -Finish wording on invites and get info over to Ana #2 -Pay deposit to DJ #3 - Go to Banana Republic on Sunday to look for groom attire #4 - Go to fabric district and pick up supplies for facsinators and jewelry (already planned)

I love it!!! It was definitely worth the wait I LOVE you and your husbands white converse, too cute!

Crista - haha, it's ok, it's there for display Ladies, I'm thinking of starting a game to get wedding items done in an easy and fun way. I know, seemingly impossible right but I know Katie and myself have been working out every day successfully and are motivated by talking to you all so I was thinking we could do the same with wedding to do's. We could either do this weekly or monthly and we could pick one item to get done or top 3 to get done and check in here once done and post our next item or 3 we're working on. When I work on too many projects I get zero done but if I have only a few and I need to check in with you ladies, I think that may get me more focused. Also, that way we can share what we're doing, which can help each other think of things to do they maybe missed etc. Let me know your thoughts, I'm open to all suggestions but this may make things simple! Happy Thursday aka almost Friday!

I don't think the plyo is in the lean version (at least not the first 3 weeks) so I'll probably add that next week. I want to make sure I'm getting the most out of if. I only have just over 3 months until the wedding (and just over a month until ski season), so I want to get the best results. Thanks for all the help kittenheart, it's nice to have the support. :-) Plyo is a butt kicker! It's definitely worth doing though if you can. You're welcome! It's nice to be able to talk to others and not be alone when working out, I'm doing another Beachbody program called Insanity and I wish I knew someone doing it

Gorgeous!! I absolutely love the bottom of it

It's beautiful!! I love the detail on the fabric, congrats

That is so adorable and romantic!!! I love it!

riokayak - Yoga is the worst at first ONLY because it's so long. Just know that the first 45 is really the standard yoga and then after that it's a lot of balance postures and stretching which is MUCH easier. The first time I did it I freaked out because I really wouldn't have gotten through an hour and a half of the first portion. After awhile you'll really notice your flexibilty increase. My FI did it with me and went from only being able to touch his knees (seriously) to being able to grab his toes by two months in. I did the classic version only because I thought the lean might get boring, it's got the same dvd many times I believe. How exciting, keep it up, I'm not kidding when I say I have never been in better shape than I was during and after P90X.

Quote: Originally Posted by riokayak I just started last night. I'm doing the lean version. So far so good. I'm terrible at the push-ups, hopefully I will improve with time. :-) Oh you will, it feels like pushups and pullups are the MAIN part of this workout! I was doing all kinds of pushups by the end! Oh and pullups, I wasn't able to do a SINGLE pullup for three weeks and then all of a sudden, bam, pullups galore

Quote: Originally Posted by ChristinaP Wow Karen! Those suggestions are great. I always feel like I am not doing enough because it does seem so easy (maybe that's a foot in my mouth for later). Is anyone else finding it difficult to just LET GO sometimes and trust that it will work out when you get there (like, with flowers if you are using the resort flowers?). I find it tough even though there are many, many people who have been through this and almost all say "it all works out and the WC's have it organized when you get there" LOL! Yes!! I'm a total control freak and this really has tested my sanity so far

Man I love Etsy so much... too much I think I've ordered my custom cake topper from here, hand painted wooden birds: Custom Wedding Cake Topper Small Hand Painted by RedLightStudio I wasn't even planning on having a cake topper until I saw these, I asked her to paint my wedding date on the bottom of the birds too so I'll have a token to take home with me and put on my bookshelf later.

I love it!!! That is such an amazing place to get engaged, congrats!

I'm just not sure if I'm over paying and could do them myself cheaper? I got quoted $5 each, no design fee though. I think I may be designing it myself, I'm putting in all the info and telling her what I want, you may be getting the whole designing done for you, not sure. I'm using Ana who is a BDW vendor - Ana de Roux {Custom Invitations, Stationery & Design}
