thanks for joining me and Kim for the weekly run down. We are in full wedding mode over here and I’m embracing my Mother Of The Bride moments. Here’s a peek into my week! It did not involve too much actual exercise but a lot of running around everywhere.

Wedding Week Is Here Weekly Run Down 

Sunday-Pilates core + arms and shoulders strength + extra glutes

Feeling strong in my arms and shoulders after today’s workout. Later, we celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday with a 1920’s themed murder mystery party and fancy dinner at their house.

Monday-Pilates + arms & shoulders strength + extra 10 glutes + power walk

Let the wedding chaos begin! We are very organized and our wedding planner is amazing although there are a bunch of last minute details. I’m embracing my Mother Of The Bride moment in full.

Tuesday-power Pilates 

A longer peloton power Pilates was a nice come and lower body workout. I spent the rest day doing last minute errands etc.

Wednesday-morning mani pedi appointments and then dropping off all of the welcome boxes to the hotel. I’m really happy with how my boxes came out. These are some of the fun items I included in them.

Thursday -core + stretch classes

It was time to load up everything into the cars and head down to check into the hotel. This was quite the production but now we are settled in. The grooms’ parents arrived from Chicago. The parents took the bride and groom out for a little pre-celebration dinner before all the madness.

Friday-Pilates core 

I got in a quick Pilates core class to wake up and get ready to take on the day.Coffee helped too! Before I knew it, It was time to start getting hair and make up for the rehearsal and welcome party. Wow here we go with everything!

 

Saturday-Wedding day!

I won’t have any pics to share until I get them back from the photographer! It’s going to take a while for me to get back to you all but I will eventually! Preview pick from the first glance photos. I will have much more to come later. For now-it was an amazing day all around.We are filled with love and thrilled we had such an amazing night with our family and friends.

this is the ballroom before we all entered. It was so beautiful!

    It sounds like everything came together beautifully and was a wonderful celebration. Your daughter looks so happy — her dress is amazing!

    I can’t believe you also had a party for your Mom, but that looks like it was a lot of fun — maybe a welcome break from last minute wedding stuff.

    Congratulations!
