Bootcamp for my Big Fat Butt

So I did it. I signed up for bootcamp for fatties people who need to lose weight. Yall, I have gone and lost my mind and now can only hope to lose some inches.

This bootcamp is 5 (count it...FIVE...Cinco...10-5..4+1...) Days a week for 8 (E-I-G-H-T) weeks. I am dumb determined to make myself get in shape on way or another. I went this morning and had the sweet (very in shape) personal trainer heading up the bootcamp, take my measurements. After seeing that the BIG weight on the scale has to jump up to the next level, from last time, before the tiny weight can be moved- I know I am obese piece of lard making the correct decision.

Luckily the trainer didn't laugh in my face at my measurements, I hope she at least waited until the floor stopped shaking once I left the premisis. So anyway, tonight is my first night of bootcamp. It's every night a week from 7-8 PM. I am really hoping to see some improvement at the end of 8 weeks, and really hope to be in a habit, routine of working out so that I am motivated enough to CONTINUE to keep working out when this camp is over.

If I'm able to move my fingers tomorrow or the next day, I will definitely report back. She was kind enough to tell me that she doesn't get in your face and yell at you and call you ludacris names, but that if you aren't performing, you are punished with push ups at the end of class. (I figured it wouldn't behoove me to ask her if I had to do real push ups, or if I could do "girl pushups").

I've lost my mind. I've got to lose inches.


and I've got to finish this diet coke here.....as she so nicely firmly informed me that I really need to cut back on my soda intake. Yes Yes, I've heard that before.

Wish me luck......

Bridesmaid Luncheon

So I thought I would post up a bit about the Bridesmaid Luncheon we had for the amazing ladies in our wedding.

There is this FANTASTIC nail salon/spa that opened near our home about a year ago. They are soooo sweet in there, and I continue to visit them today. Well not "today"- but you know what I mean. So as a treat to my lovely ladies, we took them to the Salon and they were all treated to Pedicures, Lunch, and Custom Ordered Cupcakes :) I mean...what girly get together is complete without Delicious Cupcakes!!!! Anyway, moving on from food...we all got together for our Pedicures and Pampering on Friday around lunchtime, so that we would be finished and could get ready for our Rehearsal Dinner that evening.

Everyone had such a fun fun time and I truly enjoyed getting time with the girls for pampering, laughs, cupcakes, wine and spending my last few hours as an un-married woman!!!

These are the girls' bridesmaids gifts. It was an adorable wicker basket filled with all kinds of pampering goodies, totes, and some flip flops that matched their dresses in case they wanted to change at the reception!

Amen

Cupcakes with Lipstick, Brushes, and Fingernail polish decorations!
