… and I do mean QUICK!

Here’s a little bit of what I’ve been up to since Friday, in no particular order. I haven’t had my morning cup-o-joe yet, so please put up with my randomness.

Non-stop wedding work! You’ll get the full details tomorrow on what’s been going down (or rather, NOT going down. #everythingwillgowrongatonce) but I thought I’d tease you with this picture. That is the b-e-a-utiful barn/farmstead that we’re getting married at in less than 2 months. Eeek! I’ve been working procrastinating on the website (you know, the who-what-when-where-what to buy for all the family members) so I’m expecting an all-night wedding fest to commence this evening. Watch out for delirious tweets. Kinda makes you want to follow me, right? ;)

Getting up early to work out! (Please excuse the totally nasty toothpaste/face wash/baby raspberries-while-I-try-to-brush-her-teeth aftermath on the mirror. Eww.) That’s right friends! I got a snazzy new work out top and strapped on my Polar HRM yesterday to reunite with my Wii Fit Plus. Good news : my living room is TOTALLY now big enough to let me bounce around like a fish out of water, and I’ve lost 10lbs since I last used the program. Just don’t ask me how long ago that was (too long for me to remember. ha!) Bad News : the moment I stepped up to do some boxing?

Maaaaamaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeee!!

Somebody thought it was time to party. :D How can you NOT love her bizarre half-drunk look in this photo? I only pray to god this isn’t replicated when she’s 16. Especially since she’s not wearing pants. At any rate, she was ready to be up and running around like a maniac. (In random news – that color behind her will most DEFINITELY be changing soon. Did not turn out the way I expected. Also, the gray is much darker in real life. FYI)

After my I’m a Fat Bride post got a little buzz on the internet last week, (thanks to all your tweeting and re-posting!) I was given the opportunity to try out BodyMedia’s armband system to help me on this journey! My blogger-friend Robbie (aka FatGirlvsWorld) swears by this system, so I can only imagine how amazing it will be. It calculates your exact caloric output and your sleep Last night it came in the mail and I eagerly ripped it open. :) I’m going to get it all synched up and everything tomorrow and test it out for the next month. I’ll let you know what I think. You know me, I’m a gadget girl!

Over the weekend I got to spend a lot of time with my brother and his girlfriend. I don’t know why we didn’t take any pictures, but it was the best weekend I’ve had in a long time! Ivy helped me finish up designing the invites, Matthew and I went over the ceremony (he’s marrying us!) and we all indulged in sushi and book-store-hopping. They live 2 hours away, so I don’t get to see them very often! It was a fabulous time :)

See you tomorrow for another installment of my Wedding Updates! It may have to be broken into a couple of posts, we’ll see!

Question of the day
If you could have ONE piece of fitness/cooking equipment or cool gadget, what would it be?  I still have my hopes set on a Kitchenaid mixer …. *droooooool*
