How do you drop the weight before the wedding?

I stand here before you admitting that I am the world's best dieter! NOT! I do not enjoy exercise! So how will I drop this weight? Well, I'm determined. I'd like to lose 15 lbs, but my goal would be 30! Go big or go home right? LOL I've decided to go with the "Couch to 5k" iphone application and combine that with the low carb, high protein diet. I'm praying desperately that my willpower will withstand my craving for chocolate. Baby Jesus, keep me strong! (haha)

Measurements:
Waist- 37
Hips-35
R Arm- 13
L Arm- 12.5
R Thigh- 23
L Thigh- 22.5
Neck- 15

Weight: 172 pounds

I've also purchased some videos and plan on hiking when the weather gets cooler. Pinterest is a great resource for finding low fat, low cal, low carb recipes or generally healthy, organic, vegan, etc. whatever your heart desires in recipes!

I'll be udpating later with before and after pictures, but until then wish me luck because I'm starting my diet tomorrow!

Our Wedding, 2013...

Let me welcome you into my world. Hi, my name is Amber and I'm layers apon layers of quirky, loyal, loving and unintentional crazy. My day to day consists of being a mommy and being a fiance. I've embarked on a journey recently called, "let's plan a wedding". I've never been on a journey like this before, even though I have been married in the past. But before I was just a stupid teen who got herself into a wee bit of adulthood before she was ready for it. Now, after an 8 year courtship and a 3 year long engagement I'm ready to embark on this thing called marriage!

We've hired a fabulous wedding planner from a business called "Events by Renee" (you can follow her on twitter https://twitter.com/EventsRenee) and I picked out a theme to go along with our home city of Palm Springs. I like to call it "Desert Chic". I'm fully embracing the true desert of Palm Springs without the many golf courses and resort hotels. I want to do things in the midst of nature. Yep, I want to brave the strong winds out here and the grueling heat that we can encounter! I want the backdrop to be mountains, blue skies, joshua trees, sand and windmills. I cannot wait to see how it all turns out in the end! Our budget would be: $0 but since we are dedicated to making this happen we will be cutting corners and digging deep into our pockets to find the money that we need to have our special day!

We plan to fund some of our wedding by the earnnings collected from our Scentsy Business: www.scentsy.us/madypie. The other way will be from our PTO, Tax refunds and selling home made bows and tutu's, etc. (I'm quite a crafty person). Come join us on our adventure, the planning, the stress, the heartache, the joy, the learning lessons and the "Happy Ending"! If you want to see my ideas, I've joined pinterest and started collecting some ideas of what I'd love my dream wedding to include. Please follow this link in order to follow me on my board! Have a  great Monday! xoxox ~A
