Its fun to hear about the girl’s wedding plans. People often ask if I lost weight before my wedding.  The answer is no. Could I have lost a few pounds probably, but the advantage of living a healthy lifestyle is that you don’t have to worry about fitting into a wedding dress.

Today is my 3 year wedding anniversary. Since, we won’t be celebrating until next week I thought I’d celebrate here with you. We got married at our favorite place in NYC, Central Park.  I’m not too keen on tradition, so it was a small ceremony for just us and our family.  That night we hosted a “cocktails and cupcakes” party in  a gorgeous loft space.

Lots of women vow to get in shape when they become engaged. In fact many women get into the best shape of their life at this time. It can be a great catalyst for a lifetime of change. But, why wait for a proposal or waste time dreaming about how good of shape you were in when you got married? We should always be at our healthiest. We shouldn’t wait for a life event to propel us into positive lifestyle changes.
What propels/propelled you to make a healthy change?  Have you been able to maintain those healthy changes?
My answer: No one specific event, but a series of events occurred that made me realize that “perfect” eating and exercising isn’t something I have to achieve.  I had a “no tolerance zone” for what I deemed “bad foods” and missing workouts.  I learned that balance equals perfection in my books.  For the most part I have been able to maintain balance.  Of course there are times when I have to re-adjust, but isn’t that what balance is all about?
