“Exercising gives you endorphins, Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t kill” –Elle Woods, Legally Blonde
One of my most favorite lines from a movie, mainly because it’s true. I started right after Christmas trying to do some kind of exercise everyday. It’s mainly been a work out on the Wii (we’ve accumulated Wii fit, EA Active and some others) and its been working. It consists of using your own body’s resistance and mixes a lot of yoga. Exercise should be a part of every person’s life, but so it seems especially brides! Every magazine, online article, or book I read, says “Get fit for your wedding!”
There are a number of duh reasons:
- look good in the dress
- look good on the honeymoon
- look good for your future husband
Other more fantastic reasons:
- Endorphins-they make you happy. (Most exciting time in your life, you should be happy!)
- takes away stress (see reason 1)
- gets your mind off of wedding planning
- its much-needed “me” time
Even if I’m only able to get in 15 min, it’s definitely helping me. I think more my psyche than anything else, but it makes me glad. Also with the fitness, comes eating right. Last night , we raided walmart for healthy food and drinks. I don’t drink coffee, so my morning pick-me up is Diet Dr. Pepper. Instead, I’m gonna try Cran-Energy. So far this morning I think its working. I’m pretty chipper. A harder fitness routine should be coming soon. My maid of honor happens to also be a fitness trainer (boot camp queen!) which is pleasantly convenient! She’s gonna plan some kind of a workout for me. YAY!
