Exercise: Gotta do it: at least 3 days per week, or 4 if you want it to really show. You'll be healthier and less stressed too!
A-line or Strapless: Pick your dress style early and gear your workout to toning your body exactly for it. Make it easy, effective and convenient, like The Healthy Bride's Boot Camp Workout DVD.
Lifestyle: Take a look at your life and keep your "wants" balanced with your "needs." If your list is out of whack, you will be too.
Time Management: One word: Delegate. What are mothers and friends for?
Habits: Forget the bad, and just focus on the new -- good nutrition, stress management and exercise. One great tip: 8 glasses of H20 daily and bonus points for adding a cup of green tea.
You! It's all about you, so make sure to take time for yourself.
Buff: For arms your bridesmaids will envy, weight training must be part of your exercise program -- at least twice a week.
Rest: There's no rest for the wicked, so get plenty of sleep on a regular schedule. You're skin will look better too!
I deserve the best ... Your mantra, from this day forward.
