Come on girls!




Finding your Happy weight


and... Recipes!

I thought I would dedicate today to the health of all us brides-to-be and even our Bridesmaids!
I know that the average young woman thinks about and even struggles with her weight or weight issues. I am one of those women. To me, being healthy is more important than being 'thin'. We all want to look great on our wedding day but we need to do it right.
I was flipping through the online Shape Bride. I heard that they were going to create a publication for it, I don't know that for sure, but for now we have the Internet. They great articles, tips and recipes that are geared towards the women who are walking down the isle.
I recently have joined a gym and have been working out with a trainer (I really know little to nothing when it comes to working out, so I splurged for my own benefit). I am so glad that Shape has created this, it will be a great source of inspiration. And check out the recipes... the Wild Rice with Dried Cranberries looks AMAZING! and I'm from MN, where we are all about the Wild Rice.
... Plus there is an Aisle Style section dedicated to bridal fashion and picking a dress that shows of your favorite features!

Oh dear---I just ate brownies!!! You're killing me Kirbie. I'm so proud of you though. I have a gym downstairs in my building and haven't used it once. Perhaps I should try it out before I walk down the aisle this summer...hmmmm... XOXO Katie
