WO: Thanks to Mari for keeping me accountable! I went to the gym 4 days last week. I plan to start running before work as well. Ive been eating better. 

WR: 

• FI and I start talking about pushing the honeymoon back 1 year. I'm a bit disappointed. We may not do anything afterwards and I also sad about that. With law school, I hardly have qt with him now, so I feel a little cheated. But we shall see. 
• Anyways, we went to a great wedding this weekend and I got some good ideas about details I havent thought about. 
• Got my dress from my mom's for my 1st fitting this weekend. 
• FI wants me to change the menu back from breakfast to lunch! ARRRH! 
• FI picked out his band.

WO: Trying to maintain my size.

WR: I'm getting married Friday, and I discovered last Thursday that my wedding dress doesn't fit anymore. I posted somewhere previously that I got a serious stomach virus that all I could eat was air because I couldn't keep food down. Needless to say, my dress doesn't fit anymore. I had to take it back to my seamstress and now she's doing a rush alteration on my gown. I'm getting married Friday at 6:30 PM and my gown won't be ready until 2:30. So stressed out right now. SMH.

- My place cards & gifts for my guest won't arrive until Wednesday (3/13).

I guess this is my last Monday Accountability.  Gonna miss my sisters...sniff sniff...

WO: Lord none yet smh i really need to get on the ball, i promised myself im not taking any e pics unless i have dropped some pounds sooo again its time to get it tight and get it right!!

WR: Well we went venue shopping Saturday with my overly oppinionated Mother....(le sigh) the first place we went to the lady didnt show up so i made the trip for nothing (needless to say they will be getting a nice phone call from me today) and the second place we went to i like it and so does he but after the lady went over the prices for saturday vs friday and sundays hes now stuck on having a Friday wedding smh thats one thing i wasnt interested in doing especially if it meant having my guests try to make it there from work but we will see, i have a couple other places we need to go to on Friday and we will hopefully make our final decision this weekend (I WILL KEEP MY SISTERS UPDATED)

WR:  I sat with FI to knock out some final details that need to get done. We finally started chorepographing our first dance.  We also decided what to put in the hotel gift bags.

WO:  I need to stat walking about thirty minutes each day.  I will get motivated soon...:-/

Keyaira, please share some of details you saw at the great wedding! I would like to know as I am trying to do the little details for my wedding.

 by the way don't be stressed about pushing the honeymoon back.  Girl just be patient...when you finally get to go it will be well worth it.  Yesterday I came to a realization that there is something that I really want at my wedding but we just cant afford it. So I finally became ok with it because I know We have to be able to afford to live after the wedding.  So I am ok with it now.

Thanks so much! Stay tuned for the recap!

WO: Worked out some, but not as much as I needed to. Plan to ramp up the work outs this week.

WR: Bought candy for the candy buffet and started working on the photography timeline. Sent email to my caterer with some logistics questions. FI is at the post office trying to get his passort today. Still attending the premartial classes. Gonna try and finish the bouts this week along with the signs for the bar and candy buffet that I didn't finish. Also, trying to finish our "packing list" so that my DOC knows what items are in the numbered boxes.

Key - don't stress about the honeymoon. As Ranyatta said, it'll be well worth it. Just do a "mini moon" even if it's at your place with the phone unplugged. And yes, please share the details from the wedding.

Deuces - So exited for you this week! Your dress will fit perfectly!!

KEY.... you know we got each other!!!

WO: cycle riding daily for at least 35 minutes.. and last friday started a spin class at 5:45am-6:30am... Once I get there.. It hurts during.. but feels sooo soo good afterwards...
Went this morning also... Will be going to that class Monday Wednesday and Friday mornings..  Eating good.. So far since the beginning of February I have lost 5lbs.. 20-25 more to go.. (I fit my dress.. but I wanna look AMAZING in her)

WR: went with FI and his brother(BM) and picked out Tuxes.. and colors.. so let the ordering begin... Spoke with the Photog about the location for photos in Vegas.. BM(the one that is doing the most) chose her shoes for the wedding).. My FAVORITE GIRLS... are all getting prepared to make the trip to Vegas for our special day!!
Still making my brooch bouquet.. not rushing.. have plenty of time.. still have to decide on white flowers or pink flowers to go under my clear brooches..
My dad is a deacon at their church. .and he decided he wanted to do something very special for his "baby girl".. he decided to get ordained so that he can perform our ceremony... (he is also doing our couples counseling prior to).. backstory.. my dad and my mom actually teach marraige seminars through the church and other churches..

I think that is it for now..
