One you have taken the time to do this follow our simple tips to help you have a happy wedding, feeling fabulous on the day:



  • Exercise

  • Aim to do at least 20mins of daily activity – brisk walking, dancing, cycling to raise the heart rate and help to burn fat

  • Plan 2-3 ‘training sessions’ when you get sweaty, and start to improve your overall fitness – include cardio exercises, weights for toning and fat burning and core muscles to improve your posture for the wedding day, and flatten your abs for the honeymoon!

  • Daily exercises to improve your posture and core – for example, when your phone rings – pull in your lower core muscles, relax your shoulders and lift through the spine


 

Nutrition



  • Aim to eat three balanced meals a day including complex carbohydrates, quality protein and essential fatty acids, in a small portion size.

  • Drink at least 1.5litres of water a day (take a bottle to work and it should be empty when you go home!) and start the day with a big mug of green tea to boost the immune system, and fat burning zone.

  • Try to have little or no sugars, processed foods, and refined simple carbohydrates – plus little alcohol if you can – keep it all in balance

  • Plan your food and snacks in advance so you have good things with you, and avoid getting over hungry – check out Skinny Water and our Weight Management range to help you achieve your goals and make it happen.


 

Manage Your Stress



  • Keep a happy diary – writing down three things each day that have happened that made you smile, however small

  • Review your goals from the initial questions on a weekly basis to make sure you are on track

  • Get plenty of good quality sleep – aiming to be resting between 11pm – 6am at least as this is when you body gets the best repair.

  • Task people with things to do so they feel involved, and help keep you calm


 

 
Confidence
Write down how you would like to feel on the day – what four qualities would you like to have. Ie. Happy, calm, confident and fun

  • Any limiting feelings you have , write them down and then focus on what the positive would be to let go of that fear

  • Start to visualise yourself on the day – what you will be wearing, how you will feel, who will be there, how happy you will be – keep a positive focus

  • Allow yourself to relax and be happy – believe in you, smile and have fun – it is your special day J


So commit to believing in yourself, and making this day wonderful for you, inside and out.
