Do
not put pressure on yourself to lose the weight.
Planning a wedding is already stressful enough - you don't
need the added pressure!
-
If
you don't workout and are not sure where to begin, start with
a walk. Walking is simple, inexpensive and you can do it
anywhere! Set goals - walk for 20 minutes one day and
add five minutes to your walk the next time. Or time
yourself - see how far you can walk in 30 minutes and see if
you can walk further the next time. Reaching your goals
will keep you motivated. Not only does walking get you
in shape, but it also reduces stress.
-
Join
a gym. Not only can you workout with all the equipment,
you'll find lots of great classes, such as: step aerobics,
spinning, yoga, kickboxing, and sculpt classes. Working
out will help you lose the fat and gain muscle (remember -
muscle burns fat!).
-
If
you can't get motivated, hire a personal trainer. He/she
will be sure to push you harder than you would push yourself!
-
Feel
like exercising is a chore? Then take up a sport!
Why not join a softball team? Or how about volleyball or
basketball? Lots of local schools have evening classes
that include these sports. Perhaps your place at work
has a team you can join.
-
Talking
with friends will also keep you motivated. There are
also many chat rooms on the internet that will keep you
motivated. Hearing their stories will inspire you.
-
As
you start to lose weight, focus on the positive. Don't
focus on how much more you have to lose. Give yourself
the credit you deserve for all the hard work you've done.

After exercising for a few weeks,
you'll start to notice a change in both your body and your
spirit. Feeling better about yourself will relieve any
stress. In turn, making your wedding planning a bit easier!
