Wedding Blog

When I got engaged, one of the first things I panicked about was my weight. I’ve always been very skinny, but in the last few years (i.e. after college), I gained a looooot of weight. I’m talking 25+ pounds.

As you readers may know, I signed up with a trainer from the Buff Brides program. Julian (my trainer) worked my butt all the way until the last session. It was not easy. I was sore, I complained, I flat-out refused to do certain exercises, and I even walked out on him out of frustration. But through it all, he guided me and I can proudly say now that I feel really good about the way I look now. I lost body fat, I toned up a lot, I gained muscle and energy, and I lost many, many inches.

Of course, I don’t look like I did in college (oh, the good old glory days!!) but I look much better than I did before.

Here is a picture of me from this May (about 6 weeks after I started my training sessions):

This is me this past weekend.

Hopefully, with my continued working out (about twice a week) with eating right (which I have been for the past 6 months), and acupuncture I will be able to lose even more weight. My new goal? 10 more pounds before the wedding date!
