Aww, you guys are so sweet for supporting me through the pain!
I’m feeling incrementally better — I am supposed to run tomorrow, and it would be my last hard workout before the triathlon this weekend. But I’m going to see how I’m feeling when I wake up. The last thing I want to do is hurt myself more, so I may just do some gentle yoga instead.
Any Jillian Michaels fans? I heart The Biggest Loser. Well, since I’m stalking her following her on Facebook and Twitter, I saw her big announcement today:
She’s starting a new NBC show, all about helping families get healthy! After a brief scare, in which I thought she was leaving TBL, she cleared it up — this is in addition to the show.
I know there has been a lot of concern about Jillian’s recent move into the supplement world, and I’m not going to wade into that. At least, not now. And for some, I know she’s too intense, too in-your-face, too darn mean!
But whatever gets American families moving, re-considering their eating habits and developing new, healthy lifestyles…well, I’m all for.
Off the soap box. Who wants to talk weddings? I’m currently obsessed with TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress.” If I could get married every year — to Lucas every time, of course — I totally would.
Sure, I love him, and I definitely loved spending quality time with my besties:
I mean…these guys!
But I realllllly loved dress shopping. I tried on lots of dresses — strapless and straps. Short and long. Poofy and streamlined. I ended up with my dream dress:
It let me get my groove on:
And still makes me smile when I see it. Plus, it was wicked cheap. I’m a bargain bride, and ordered it over the Internet! (Tip: I found my perfect dress at a wedding boutique, then looked for it on eBay, craigslist and other online sites. I ended up ordering it from here. $550 for a designer knockoff. Yeah, baby).
So what does one do with the dream dress? She trashes it. If you’ve seen Caitlin‘s recent re-do of her wedding photos, you know that she’s working with an Orlando photographer (who is also a cyclist and triathlete!). He’s also going to help me to a Trash the Dress shoot, triathlon-themed! We are still working out our schedules, so stay tuned for that.
What does this have to do with healthy living? Nothing. Your regularly-scheduled food and fitness blogger will be back tomorrow. Thanks for indulging my walk down memory wedding aisle.
I’ll leave you with two of my favorite pictures of my favorite people: mom and dad.
Your wedding looks like a blast! You’re having fun in every photo!
To me, the dress and setting were wonderful. But the most important part of the wedding(to me at least), was the two beautiful people that were being wed. The happiness all around was so obvious. May all the rest of your lives bring the same feelings you had that day, that is the love you have for each other, come hell or high water, as I have found in my marriage. Love Y’ALL.
I was just talking about my love of Jillian Michaels! I didn’t know that she was starting a new show though. It sounds like it should be great.
Also, I’ve been obsessed with Say Yes to the Dress for quite some time now. I have filled my boyfriend’s TiVo with episodes. He’s definitely not thrilled about that. Oops!
Your dress looked absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful dress! I love that show! I watched it a ton this weekend! I loved planning my wedding. I would totally have a wedding each year if I could!
