Joel and I now have a membership to Snap Fitness here in St. Johns. Now as all of you know I am not the most athletic person and working out is not a fun thing to me. I am not one of those people that go to the gym for fun and love sweating. I hate sweating and my idea of fun is gardening, watching a movie or just sitting in the sun reading. I enjoy walking so I spend most of my time walking on the tread mill and then do a few weights but always feel embarrassed as the super workout girl next to me is running and I am speed walking. But now that I am getting married I feel like people are expecting me to loose weight ( I keep getting asked by my mom and grandma if we are still going to the gym) ... well news flash.. probably not going to happen. I might tone up a little and loose a few pounds but I am not going to stress myself out trying to loose weight while trying to plan a wedding. I am finding out that there a lots of things that need to be "plus sized" that I did not realize. A Garter for instance, they do no come in all sizes I have to hunt down a plus size one to fit my thunder thighs that I have been blessed with.
I guess what bugs me the most about brides that try to loose weight before their wedding is that they are not doing it for the right reasons. They are not doing it for health issues but they are doing it for vanity. I feel that Joel fell in love with me when I am this size and he is not expecting me to be smaller when he marries me. I am a true blue believer that being beautiful and sexy is all in how you carry and present yourself. Even the skinny of skinniest people can be ugly even on their wedding day.
So to those of you who want to see skinny mini Elissa on November 7th... do not hold your breath, because trust me you will pass out waiting!
