Tip Top Shape and Wedding Updates!

Sorry I have been MIA this past month. I have been quite the busy bee this summer with planning my wedding, mini vacations, going to one of my best friends wedding and up next is my bachlerotte party!

Every girl wants to look her very best on her wedding day and I am no exception. We want to make sure our dress fits to a tee. We don't want any mysterious body part hanging out (you know what I am talking about)

I know, I know, you all are probably thinking 'Ali you don't need to lose weight you already skinny.' It's really not about losing weight - it's about looking good and feeling good. And when else do you look and feel good, but after a few weeks of some really great work outs. Everything is firm and tight and things just seem to fit better. Am I right or am I wrong? I'm right.

I am not working out 24/7, I'm just running. For the past 2-3 months now I have been running a trail close to home and I recently hit my goal of a 5k. This past week it has become my normal jog and I love it! On this track I can definitely see this becoming a life style not just a work out. In addition to the cardio, I am also taking a lot of tips from one of my co-workers. She was born to a be nutritionist. I pay attention to everything she eats. Lots of fruit, veggies, avocados, almond butter, protein, lots of water. If I am lucky she will offer me some of her goodies she brings to work like today for instance she made flax seed kiwi muffins - now, it may not sound that appealing, but it was actually REALLY, REALLY good!! Love her and her muffins!

Your diet relies on about 70% of what you eat and if you know me, you know I have a HUGE sweet tooth. So my big downfall in this category is sugar! I love it. And I won't change that part of me, because that's what makes me, me! I am sweet to the bone. : )

On another note, invitations are out and RSVP's are slowly starting to filter in. It's an exciting time! This weekend I meet with our ceremony musicians to pick out our beautiful music for the church. I don't think many people pay attention to the church music - but either way, I am still going to pick the songs that I love!

Thanks for reading and I hope to post again real soon!!
