The skinny on celery

Celery is the name of my invitation ink -- anyone find that a little strange, is it alluding to the fact that most brides only eat celery for the months prior to their wedding? Just struck me as a bit odd and made me think about pre-wedding weight loss.

I don't know the statistics, but I bet a whole bunch (technical term) of brides embark on some sort of weight loss venture before getting hitched. I have to count myself within the bunch. Although, I haven't resorted to eating stalks of celery, I've definitely been watching what I eat and have started a 4-5 day a week yoga practice. I thought it would be hell, but in the pursuit of being the perfect bride, I found myself for the first time being able to maintain a diet & EXERCISE routine. I shout the latter because I am no gym rat.

A few girlfriends have commented, "oh I did that too then gained it all back". That has got to be the kiss of death. I am really in love with my plan that I don't want it to end. I am not starving, I feel good, and the pounds are dropping off, perfect! But, will the lack of a major motivation curtail a continuance of my holy grail program? I sure hope not.

Anybody else think they would try to take off a few LBs before a wedding, reunion, etc?
