Fitness = Happy Bride


“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:


  1. look good in the dress

  2. look good on the honeymoon

  3. look good for your future husband

Other more fantastic reasons:


  1. Endorphins-they make you happy. (Most exciting time in your life, you should be happy!)

  2. takes away stress (see reason 1)

  3. gets your mind off of wedding planning

  4.  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!
