Workout Rhythms during Chaos

The wedding, as successful as it was, took a physical toll on both Hubby and myself.  We spent the week leading up to the wedding frantically running around the city for last minute meetings and gathering items and buying last minute stuff.  I barely had time to breathe.  Evan made time to relax by going out with his friends and family for walks, but panic would strike him soon.

Even more bizzare, my mind even did a number on my body.  I found myself awake before my alarm every morning.  I was barely focused but I was wide eyed, navigating many back roads and pot holes with a trunk full of cookies or wedding bags... 

Relaxation did not kick in until after the rehearsal dinner... up until then it seemed like we were running on adrenaline.  For any other brides out there who feel the last minute panic, make sure to take those yogic breaths.  They keep you calm.  And for those moments where you aren't calm, there's red wine.

Now that it's all over, we're finally starting to get back into a routine.  I've been to the gym several times this week and I've been watching what I eat.  Now it's about getting myself on an even more regular workout as we travel back home for my best friend's wedding and leave the country for our honeymoon... and with being a regular on the fitness wheel comes being a regular back at the blog... I'm back.
