Mrs. RISLOV!!!

Well...I am back and happy to report that I survived the big day!!! Everything went PERFECTLY!!! Who would have guessed?!? I am a firm believer that my anal retentive over-planning helped the cause! But seriously, I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Here are a few pictures of our wedding day.




I felt so wonderful the whole day, and the best part about it...I didn't think about my weight once. Writing that actually makes me a little teary-eyed...WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME??? Looking back just one year ago, I would have never expected to be so comfortable with my body, and myself in general. I can honestly tell you that I felt beautiful on my wedding day!

The next day Jay and I drove back to Omaha (ugh!), so that we could get up at 2:30 AM on Monday to get to the airport for our flight to JAMAICA!!! I have NEVER been so excited to get on a plane in my life!



We had so much fun, and for the first time in a year I didn't even think about what I put in my mouth...in fact I think I probably ate way more than I normally would because I knew after 7 short days I would have to get back on the wagon!!! While my first weigh-in after the honeymoon SUCKED (up 7.7 lbs!), I will tell you that it was TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! I am slowly but surely getting back into my routine and plan to lose the weight that I gained, and hopefully a little more.

That in itself is amazing to me...had I gained that much weight in the past, I would have simply given up and gone back to my fatty-ways. I know that I am a changed person because even though it is a constant struggle for me to manage my weight, I know it is worth it.
