Then What Happened?

Then, i got married! in april 2013, but the planning started in earnest in january. it was hectic, crazy bonkers, planning the wedding. all my evenings and weekends were dedicated to organizing, consulting, deciding, delegating — and i wanted to look great on my wedding day, so i still stayed on plan. i was careful to plan my meals and snacks, so i wouldn’t be starving and eat mindlessly. i couldn’t make my evening bootcamp classes, so i started getting up at 5:30am to make the 6am class — i am NOT a morning person, so this was very challenging. i started sleeping in half my bootcamp clothes, so i was already partly dressed in the mornings, you gotta do what you gotta do!

even during the week of the wedding, i didn’t want to feel bloated or tired — so i carried around my own food, and didn’t eat a lot of the catering. it was a success, i looked and felt healthy and beautiful the day of my wedding! i had been slimmer, and more fit the summer before – but because i had been working out and eating right, i felt amazing and confident.

after the stress of planning the wedding, i decided to take a break, from everything — no more WW, no bootcamp, no tracking, no cycling. we did a lot of celebrating post-wedding, nice dinners and brunches out, take-out for dinner…we didn’t want the party to end 🙂

i gained 10 pounds in the next few months, from may to july. i decided it was time to get back on plan, but i was so far from plan, i couldn’t remember what the plan was! then i gained another 10 pounds by october. and since then i’ve gained another 5. in the last month, i’ve gained a couple more. as of today, october 2014, i am 28 pounds over my goal weight.
