Eating My Way Toward a Healthier Me

August 12th, 2009 @ 6:18 pm by Mrs. Stiletto

In keeping with my little fitness/wellness theme this week (remember my 2-a-day crazy workout post?), I thought I’d give you peek into what I’ve been eatin’ over the last year or two.

I’ve managed to lose 30 pounds, something I’m quite proud of. But in addition to having started a challenging workout routine, part of my success has been due to running far, far away from…

Mrs. Labrador Retriever, Athens/Savannah Age and Occupation: 24, Student/Sports Reporter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Physical Therapy Assistant Student/Future Dr. of PT Engagement Date: December 31, 2008 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Whitfield Square/Savannah Station About Me: I'm working on my second degree from UGA (Go Dawgs!). I'm a self-proclaimed attention-w****. If it involves a camera, I'm in front of it! You'll never meet a girlier tomboy than me. I can go toe to toe with any guy on the subject of college football, and lift more than any girl in my gym, all without chipping a nail. I hope to someday be the only person you want delivering your sports news. My FI and I are the loving parents of three Labrador Retrievers (one of each color) and are planning a "Southern Romantic Charm" wedding in the beautiful, historic city of Savannah. I'm not extreme in anything except moderation... and wedding planning.
About Mrs. Labrador

Official disclaimer: I’m no doctor, nutritionist, or personal trainer. Just a regular bride-to-BEE wanting to look smokin’ hot for her wedding day. ;) So what I’m basically trying to say is you should consult your physician before starting any diet or exercise program. I’m just sharing what’s worked for me because it would be selfish not to. It is certainly not to be taken too literally, as my goals are a lot different from the average person...

I'm from Chicago, he's from NYC, and we both miss public transit and great pizza. We have an adorable muppet dog called Paco. I'm part hippie with a healthy dash of hip hop superstar, have excessive empathy for animals, and have not one, but two bionic eyes (long story). We're broke and it ain't no joke. It can't stop us from planning the bold and whimsical wedding of our dreams, but we've had to get pretty creative to make it work, yo!
About Mrs. Meatball

Having friends over to eat is one of our super bad ass budget and diet tricks. It gives us control over the menu, the cost, gives us incentive to keep our place presentable (which, clutternuts that we are, is quite helpful), and allows us all to enjoy a leisurely meal and great conversation in a cozy atmosphere. Some people find entertaining to be a high-stress…

GOOP Detox, Day 3

July 17th, 2009 @ 12:07 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Okay. It’s time to be real about this detox.

It. Is. Hideous.

The food is pretty foul, despite many of their deceptively delicious sounding names. Cucumber, basil, and lime juice? Shudder. Teriyaki chicken and steamed greens? Tastes like bung when made with 1/2 balsamic vinegar and 1/2 agave syrup.

Am I eating chicken? Am I licking a toad’s rear end? Who knows.

Day 1 was quite the tease. A…

GOOP Detox

July 14th, 2009 @ 1:45 pm by Mrs. Penguin

Do you GOOP? If you haven’t heard of GOOP yet, it’s a weekly lifestyle newsletter sent out by Gwyneth Paltrow. She writes about all kinds of things; each week focuses on a specific topic, like her favorite restaurants in LA, NY, and London, to her favorite cookie recipes, to gift ideas, to an extended discussion of “frenemies”. Some of it is fascinating, some of it…

My idea of a great date night is dinner and clearance shopping with Mr. Ballet Flat! I currently live below sea level in the suburbs near New Orleans, where I make maps all day, everyday for my job. I'm slowly becoming more and more obsessed with anything New Orleans related for our wedding, and I can't wait for the big day!

Woah… That Happened Fast!

July 8th, 2009 @ 3:02 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

Remember when I was on a mission to lose weight? I was doing pretty darn well… 20 lbs. down. My, how things have changed since the wedding!

Image source

I found myself not caring about going to get a meal at Chick Fil-A, eating ice cream everyday, and only working out 1-2 times a week, if that. What happened to me? I gained 10, count that, 10 POUNDS back…

Finding my Bridal Glow, Part 1

June 30th, 2009 @ 11:07 am by Mrs. Peep Toe

I have to say that one thing that I will never forget about our wedding (and weekend) was how I felt. I can honestly say, that from the inside out, I glowed. I felt it in my bones, I felt it in my skin, and by the end of the day I could feel it in my smile because it was so tired.

Unlike the ultra-fabulous…

I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!

Snackrifice

Snackrifice - giving up snacks to fit into that perfect (yet unforgiving) white dress.

Bbbbback in the USA!

It’s true, I’m back on US soil! It’s taken a bit of time for me to adjust to not only the time, but simply being back in America. It’s easy to forget after awhile just how different the US and the UK can be. For example, since being home, I spent almost 2 hours grocery shopping just to fill a tiny basket (the store was so…

There are lots of reasons that motivate people to lose weight. For some (like Ash is Fit) it’s a wedding, for others, it’s to be able to play with their soon-to-be born children without getting winded, and for Seth Rogan, it’s to play the Green Hornet. For me? It’s a combination of things. I’m tired of being overweight, and I was blaming my knee surgery…

Week 4 of the Brown Dress Plan didn’t go as I had hoped. I did manage to get in about an hour of lifting and abs, and almost 3 hours of vigorous walking, but the spin classes did not happen. I’d like to say I was lazy and enjoyed some other activities in place of working out, but that would be a lie. I didn’t…
