I want to lose 20 pounds for my wedding.  I am already down 7 and lost over 2 inches in my waist!  I will feel like I have a long way to go and not sure if I have time.

What I'm Doing:

  • Personal training 2x per week (with 1/2 hour of cardio before)
  • Spinning 2x per week
  • Yoga 1x per week
  • Cardio on my own 1-2x per week
  • Bringing lunch and dinner to work every day (I work late)
  • Only 1 alcoholic drink per week!  (by far, the biggest sacrifice)

UPDATE: May 22 (6 weeks from wedding)

I am keeping with the same schedule and am down a total of 13 pounds!  Now I need to lose a bit over 1 pound a week to meet my goal, which should be hard with my bachelorette weekend coming up (we are wine tasting).  I am keeping the same schedule as above but will but cut out drinking entirely the last month.  Also, I am down 2 dress sizes.  Woohooo!

UPDATE: June 12 (3 weeks until wedding)

I have really stepped it up!  I am down a total of 18 pounds!  I only have 2 more to lose and then need to focus on not gaining (especially with all the pre-wedding festivities).  I am not drinking at all and working out 6 days a week.  I have b-pics tomorrow and it is so great to feel cute again! 

Here is my current workout schedule:

  • Personal training 3x per week (with 1/2 hour stairmaster before)
  • Running treadmill 2x per week (on treadmill 45 mins)
  • Running outside 1x per week (3 mile trail)
  • Trying to get in yoga or the occasional spin class (spin got too easy)
  • NO DRINKING! (at all, so hard...)

Update: June 27 (2 weeks until wedding)

Met my weight loss goal today!!!!  I lost 20 pounds total and am down to my college weight of 127.  It feels amazing.  Now I just need to be very good this last week.

My Plan:

  • Running every morning (before eating breakfast)
  • High protein, low carb diet
  • 100 push ups, 60 tricep dips & and ab routine each night
  • Drinking: I can have 1 drink at rehearsal dinner & 1 at welcome cocktail party.  Sounds reasonable, right?
