So I'm Getting Married

At the end of my last post I mentioned that I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding. I'm getting married, yay! My sister, my Matron of Honor, threw me wedding shower #1 at Christmastime for the ladies of my mother's side of the family. It was filled with tasty and creative, pinteresty treats...like...

These

Apparently if you cut a bunch of marshmallows diagonally and throw them into a bag of sanding sugar the sugar only sticks to the sticky part of the marshmallow that you cut through. Then you organize them all pretty and flowery on top of a cupcake!

And this...

A wedding cake made of rice krispie treats! And by rice krispie treats I mean made with extra brown butter so they were extra delicious.

While this event was fun, sadly looking at the photos made me realize how much weight I've gained since meeting the boy, and I was not happy, hence the effort to lose weight before the wedding. I'm trying to turn this into a healthier lifestyle, not just a push to lose weight. We are trying lots of new ways of cooking veggies and using new ingredients while going to the gym A LOT. I think when I'm done losing weight there will be less emphasis on the gym and the food will remain the sameish...maybe slightly larger portions or a little more room for treats...the next few recipes will be more low calorie focused. Still trying to bake despite the calorie counting!
