Feeling Refreshed!

Well, I thought I was back at the end of the summer, guess not! I really am not going to make a big post about how I am re-committing, because I don't want to let myself down. I am, however, going to make an honest effort to post on the blog for myself. Yep, I'm going to be a bit selfish. Ever since getting engaged I have been so caught up in our house, re-doing our closet, my new job, and planning a wedding, that I haven't been focusing on myself and feeling good about myself.  So now is the time I am jumping back on the WW bandwagon, and trying to gain back that motivation I had exactly one year ago. First comes food, then comes the working out.

I found my beautiful dream dress (that ironically looks totally different than anything I imagined myself in) and I want to be a bombshell on my wedding day.  The positive thing is that I already feel beautiful in the dress, what a fabulous experience it was, even though I was terrified at first. But my mom is such a wonderful support, and the boutique, Irini's Originals in Wilmington DE is a wonderful, warm, loving, family shop that makes you feel comfortable and at ease.

All of that being said, I am going to try to start blogging again, for myself. Maybe I'll even throw in a few music ideas I've come up with throughout the year!

I wanted to share a few blogs and recipes that I have been enjoying lately to allow myself to get back into the healthy habits (and kyle has been loving them too):
