It all started with the perfect proposal... You accepted, the engagement party was wonderful and now, the countdown to your wedding day has begun. Now you're somewhere in the planning process with choosing your venue, booking the caterer and the band, selecting your flowers and now... THE DRESS.
Whether you choose a strapless, basque waistline, scoop or halter dress, you'll soon be walking down the aisle with all eyes on you. Are you ready?

#1 FIT BRIDE TIP: THOU SHALT NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
This applies to everyone, newbies and experienced exercisers alike! The most important thing you can do for yourself is to start early. Like today! Give yourself plenty of time to do what you need to do to get the results you want. This will lessen the stress and the headaches, especially as you get closer to the Big Day. And, the last thing you need is to add any more stress to yourself.
I've worked with people who waited until right before their wedding and watched as they had to practically kill themselves in order to fit into a certain dress size. While they did see results in that they "made it", it was NOT the best way to achieve what they really wanted in the long run, to be fit. So keep in mind that the real goal is actually NOT to simply lose weight, which means losing valuable muscle and precious water along with the body fat. What you really want is to burn fat! And to keep as much shapely muscle as possible.

Take Action
Always begin by checking with your doctor before starting or changing your exercise and nutritional routine to help identify potential risks or complications. This is especially important if you take certain medications or have health conditions such as high blood pressure, hypertension and diabetes.
After that, your first assignment is to get up and go for a 10-20 minute walk. Might not seem like much, but the key words are: "GET UP!" The purpose of this assignment is not to give you to ultimate workout by any means. It's just to get you going. Since making this happen the first time can be the hardest, if you actually get up and do that much today, you'll be more likely to do at least that much tomorrow.
Remember, you're not trying to overwhelm yourself and your schedule so much that it seems impossible. And, I'm not trying to leave you feeling like you've been run over by a truck tomorrow.
I want you to feel accomplished because you've STARTED. #teamgoYOU ;)
