What Happened????

I feel like I used to be so gung-ho about the wedding planning and lately I've hit a plateau. I was going to book the photographer, but our dates never match up and now I'm working weekends so it's even harder. I wanted to lose a lot of weight this summer, that didn't happen- I feel like everyone keeps asking me about everything and I have done NOTHING.

Okay, vent over! lol I need to get back in the wedding planning spirit!!

I think school is what's really making me stressed about it all. As most of you know, grad school is intense, and it's a straight 9 month program- I don't get the wintersession break like I did in undergrad. This means that I will graduate at the end of May 2012 and leave me exactly 12 months before my wedding!!!!!!!! Why did I not go to college after high school!!!!!!

I feel like I told myself I would get more done this summer and didn't- maybe all of the stress will take care of my weight issue lol

Although I did buy ti-bo dvd's, I just have to unwrap the box now

I am soo glad I am not alone on this. I had hit a wall too, btwn buying the house this summer, and Catherine I have been in a Masters program for 3 yrs, we grad in May 12 and it can not come soon enough, and deciding agaisnt the other RH after we were in contract, it has been hell.

But, i look at it this way, wherever we are we are WAY ahead of all the other girls who will get married in 2013 b/c we have been working at it little by litte. we have time to plan amd in the end we always have each other and a bottle of wine. lol

I think more happens during the summer and we can not concentrate on us, when the fall hits and things quiet down we can take on our little projects and such.

Heres to a productive fall!

xo

I'm the opposite!! I just wanted to meet vendors and get ideas.. then i booked my photographer, dj and florist! LOL. don't get me wrong- I love all of my vendors and I def made right decisions. But since summer school ended, I have been SO wedding obsessed that i NEED to take a break! I emailed my AP telling her how I need my routine back and I am ready for school to start again. I even asked for a list of my students so I can start reviewing their IEP's (Sick, right?! i never thought I'd be anxious for summer to end)
But weight wise- I had lost over 30 pounds and was doing great! But now I find myself noshing out of boredom again and eating crap. I need structure back so i stop scarfing garbage while surfing bridal sites for 3 hours a day!

Aww, don't feel bad about it. You have plenty of time to do everything. I know its going to be hard with your busy work and school schedule but when your ready just tackle 1 thing at a time. If you already know the photographer you want to book check to see if they can mail you a contract, you sign and mail in your deposit so you can block your date and then your done!

About the weight loss, I so feel you. I to have been wanting to lose weight but I just find no time to get my butt on my treadmill lol.. After work, I come home relax a min on LIW then its off to cooking dinner for FH and I or cleaning up arond the house, or laundry or something. I keep telling myself to wake up earlier in the morn to do it but thats a joke, I hit my snooze button about 5 times in the morn and give myself just enough time to get out the door and to work on time. I'm trying to watch my portions and trying to see what healthier dishes I can make.. I wish I could just hire a chef!

I live by a schedule. When the summer hits although I do have work 40-60 hours a week--it's not the same as my jam packed school schedule. I am used to not having a breathing second.

You give me all this free time and I do nothing significant. When I go back to school my schedule will be packed full of school gym work and wedding planning to the point of not being able to breathe.

I clearly enjoy stressing myself out.

Hopefully the fall will be better for all of us!

I'm in the same exact boat!

grad school starting next week, weight loss going slower than desirable, and behind on wedding planning (which i feel ok about considering the long engagement, but still)!

if it makes you feel any better, at least you aren't alone!
i'm just hoping the stress and routine will help me get back on track, with every category.

I hear you. I think your feelings are normal. Maybe you need a little break from planning; I know I will.

I got nothing done this summer. I guess I was too busy going here and there. Maybe the thought of all the planning overwhelmed me. I think I am finally going to check out some halls next week.
