Almost There...

After all the excitment / fear from last week, this week has been very unproductive.  We have finalized our menu and invitation wording, and I have a spreadsheet all set to go with guest information (written formally, of course) but we are waiting for two addresses before proceeding.  A friend just moved and we are waiting to hear back about her address, and another is moving in a couple weeks, so we need to make sure we get her too.

I've decided to be good this week and really get myself active.  I want to make sure that I look and feel good on my big day.  Monday I went to the gym and did 40 minutes of cycling - I think I did 9.5 miles at level 7 and on varied terrain, so that was a very good work-out.  Tuesday Justin and I went for a walk to the local farmstand - about a mile away.  Wednesday I went for a 3.5 mile walk & then played tennis for 1.5 hours.  Thursday I had to take it easy since my hamstring wasn't happy about the walking combined with the tennis.  And today I am heading into the city for a concert so I will be walking around and standing all night long.  In addition to seeking to be more active, I have been trying to watch what I eat.  I've cut down on the amount of beer and wine I drink, and have been trying to opt for more fruits and veggies.  We'll see if it works.

I also try to do little things at work like yesterday while I was on a conference call, I ran in place, stood instead of sat, and did some leg muscle exercises. 

Wouldn't it be awesome to be in killer shape on my wedding day, for my honeymoon, and to use this to begin living a healthier lifestyle?
