Loving all this wedding fever! My friend who is getting married in December still hasn't ordered our bridesmaid dresses yet... feeling anxious for her but it's really not my place to say anything! Eek!

Ah I feel like I've got so far to go - but I will get there :)

Argh I would be super stressed. She needs to get on it xxxx.
 
Been a bit cheeky tonight and had some dark chocolate and 2 wholemeal rice cakes! Not too bad though! xxxx
 
1 week until my holiday. In a week I'll be on a plane to here:

1 week until I'm bikini ready or not haha.

Gorgeous sunny day today so feeling even more motivated!

B: Strawberries, Grapes, Banana
L: Chili
S: Satsumas, nuts, nakd bar and pre-gym banana
D: Pasta! The pasta is a bit naughty as it is bought in ravioli stuff but we are making our own sauce. It's nice and quick, easy for James to eat, and acceptable carbs I think after the gym.

Looking forward to the gym tonight. Think I'll do some standard weights but also get the pulse raisers in. Will also run a mile and try and beat my 10:04 on treadmill (always takes me longer on a treadmill but I guess that's the dictated pace) I'm shocking at running in the heat outside so treadmill will have to do.

Also got a wedding on Saturday where James is an usher. I'm going to wear the dress I wore to our engagement as I think it is rather wedding appropriate. Really looking forward to it; it is one of James' best friends getting married. They got together a few months after James and I did and so I've seen their relationship blossom and they're so happy :')

Happy Friday Eve ladies xxxx
 
Yes Jess! We had seen a potential dress and my sister ordered them without telling us because the 8s and 10 kept selling out anytime she saw anything she liked and she figured she could just send them back if they didn't suit but they were PERFECT! Mint green with stunning embellishment on top! Wish I had a pic! So exciting that you have a wedding to attend over the weekend! I'm sure your brain will be ticking away with more ideas for your big day! It'll make you extra emotional! Food is looking fab today honey! Have a good one! Totally picturing you sitting in benidorm with a cocktail from that pic! xxx

Ooh Tasha how exciting! And fortunate too! You NEED to get a pic!! I'm considering mint green dresses myself. What venue has your sister got again?

Yes I'm very excited - first wedding since we've got engaged so I think it will confirm to me what is important/isn't

Yes I am so excited for it :) :) xxxx

Me too! Especially when you're really close to the bride and groom!

I'm so excited about Benidorm weather is looking amaze and fun times with my bestie :D

James made a healthy tomato sauce. I was disappointed with the pasta; it tasted fake. Healthy sauce helped it down though ;)

I smashed through my last time of 10:30 with 10:04 then last night 9:48. Really chuffed as it always takes me longer so hoping this will reflect on a good time when I'm back out running properly.

I really liked the venues but not 100% sure they're for us. However something similar maybe! I still love the barn but there are some practicality issues with it! Seeing some really gorgeous ones at start of July so hoping they will give me some real options.

First things first: HAPPY FRIDAY!!!! :)

Weighed in early this morning due to the wedding at the weekend and I've lost the 3lb bloat from Monday so back (again!) at 10st. Going to weigh in Wednesday before I go on hols to hopefully see that I've smashed through that 10st barrier. I guess that will depend on how naughty it am at the weekend ;)

The gym was tough last night with it being so warm outside but I achieved this:

Which is a 16s improvement on Tuesday and a 42 second improvement on last week :) It always takes me longer on a treadmill but I'm hoping my improvements will reflect well when next running outside. Also did a good strength set which knackered me and took an hour but I pushed through.

Dinner was disappointing :( James' healthy homemade tomato sauce was nice but the pasta was fake! Got leftovers for lunch but they might taste better the next day?

Eats for today:
B: Strawbs, Grapes, Banana
L: Leftover pasta and sauce
S: Satsumas, nakd bar and nuts
D: Chicken, sweet potato weeds and veg

James is staying at the groom's house tonight so quiet one for me. Dropping him off, getting my hair cut, doing some house work, then relax :)

Good morning lovelies :)

I hope you all had fab weekends?

I started feeling really poorly Friday afternoon - not sure if it was tiredness or whatever but it meant I had a very on plan evening! Felt better by Saturday though and was totally off plan for the most wonderful wedding :D I think I must have had about 3 bottles of wine! but I made new friends and had a right laugh!

The scales showed 10.2 this morning so not so bad really, especially as I am very due mother nature. I'm hoping I can get that back to at least 10 by Wednesday morning though!

Back on plan today :)
B: Strawbs, Grapes, Rasps; 0% Vanilla yoghurt
L: Co-op loved by you range - chicken bacon and sweetcorn pasta bowl (not exactly allowed but I was too knackered yesterday to prep food, and it should kepe me full)
S: Nuts & 0% Vanilla yoghurt (got a medium tub with me)
D: TBC as doing food shop tonight

Also doing a run tonight, so hoping for at least 2 miles at a pace of, ideally, 2 miles under 20 minutes

xxxx
 
Awww, so glad you enjoyed it! you looked fab in that panoramic pic on fb! So happy and teeny :)

I love how you're doing your running Jess! It's so interesting to see your approach of working on speed over distance... I was the opposite so keen to see how you get on! You'll be doing a sub-30min 5k in no time! xx
 
Hello my lovely!!
Sounds like one damn fine wedding weekend!
So glad your icky feeling cleared up so you could properly enjoy yourself! :)

I'm off to fb to have a look at this pic! :)
Did it make you excited for your wedding?! Get any ideas of things you loved or hated?!

I'm sure those scales will be back down after post vino deflation! Good luck with the running tonight! Xxxx

Thanks chick. That fella pulling a manic happy face next to me is my fiance! haha think it is a hilarious pic of him!

We actually had a set of photos taken of James and me in the garden so i'm hoping they come out nice, although my fringe was playing up!

I think distance over speed is a better way to train but i am lazy so for me less distance but quicker is better for now ;) just so i actually get out there

Thanks honey, i'm actually feeling a bit rubbish again at the moment so hope it goes back off

Yes it really did make me think of our wedding!
1) I want a veil! Not in front but in my hair; the bride didn't have one and I think it was missed

2) I want wine on the tables from the start; they brought wine around with the main but we had already bought wine by then

3) Speeches before dinner work really well especially if canapes are provided so people don't get too hungry

4) A good DJ is a must! The one was awful and the groom threatened to get his CD out the car!

5) An outdoor area is lovely; we sat outside most of the evening and just had a truly lovely time

6) Somewhere to stay either at the venue or close by is really useful! It was lovely falling into bed in the early hours!

7) A good master of ceremonies is essential - i want my cutting of the cake and first dance announced properly!

:D xxxx
 
Ahh Jess thAt makes me so excited just reading about it! All these little things really do make a difference to the overall feel of the day don't they?!
Do you have any/many more weddings planned so you can get some more ideas?!

Nope the run went well last night gorg! Xxxx
 
Awww Jess, hope you didn't have to work too late my darling. I bet you are so excited for your holidays?! Is your bedroom a complete tip like mine?!

I've boxes and bags everywhere from boohoo/primani etc with lots of glasto/ibiza bits and pieces among all my usual crap and trainers, sports bags etc... it's stressing me out but on the other hand I wake up and think YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEE!! Fun times a-coming! xx
