Wedding Prep Lifestyle Changes

I've been searching for a post like this! This isn't diet related, but I've recently been really getting into self care to help alleviate my stress. So I splurged on Anthropologie and got a bunch of bath salts, soaps, lotions and wellness items that I'm collecting and not touching until the following week in our new apartment. I'm so excited to use them!

I actually just started to also get really into self care alleviating my stress and been using a lot essential oils! I've been using them both topically and aromatherapy. I've noticed so far some of my muscle tension has decreased, but I'm still far from where I want to be.

Haven't done a diet. But I started doing hot yoga again to help with stress. It has really helped with my arms and has boosted my metabolism so I can eat what I want while planning.

I've taken up running and I'm more careful about what I eat! I have so much more energy now that I work out regularly and actually take care of myself

Same here! I love feeling and being healthy

I hear ya, I splurged at Lush and at the VS semi-annual! I also have a difuser form a fabfitfun box and it adds an extra touch to turning our bathroom into a spa!

I live in Texas, preach, lol!

Same! I have way more energy than before (and that's saying something b/c my energy level is high to begin with).

Yoga is great and I need to practice it more. Too bad there aren't more hours in a day, lol. I get some in everyday, even 5 minutes helps get me moving and sharpens me in the mornings!

Yeah, I watch how my skin reacts to the weather-- its' my sign that I need to switch things around in my skincare routine.

I heard wedding diets aren't the healthiest and I'd rather make lifestyle changes than temporary ones. I'm definitely drinking more water and not just because it's summer either. My skin loves it!

I live in Texas-- I know what you mean!

I went back to watching/cutting my calorie intake, as well as making sure to get moving more frequently. I was cutting serious calories and doing two-a-days for a few weeks, and there was a very quick and noticeable difference! I had a lot of old muscle tissue lying in wait to pump back up, though, so I credit that. Then I had my period and now I'm in my second week of being ill, so I just started moving again tonight. Here's hoping all the progress won't be lost!

Keep on moving and you'll be fine! Sending positive vibes your way!
