I Am Pumpkin Spice’s Biatch

Not the title you’d expect today, considering it is EXACTLY ONE MONTH UNTIL WE GET HITCHED!  But honestly, second to obsessing about being Mrs. H, I am obsessing because it’s Friday.  Which means tomorrow is Saturday.  Which means I can have another Pumpkin Spice latte!  They are SOO pointy, I limit them to Saturday.  And I swear, this week, I’ll limit it to one…

Meanwhile, this morning I am sipping on a delicious Green Monster.  I woke up absolutely craving one.  Although mine always turn brownish-green (from the strawberries, I think) they are heavenly and taste so refreshing.  Glad I had all the ingredients!  Last night I dreamt that I was pregnant, perhaps because so many friends have recently had babies or announced that they soon will.  But it was like that show on TLC – “I didn’t know I was pregnant” and I just kept telling the doctors that I had been drinking coffee every day and drank alot at my bach party.  RANDOM.

Maybe I dreamed about giving birth in a symbolic way because we are in fact ONE MONTH out from the wedding.  And I’ve sort of been carrying and caring for this major event for well over 9 months and it’s almost here.  Last night I shared my thoughts on vows with H and he really seemed to like them.  So excited.

This weekend, in addition to running more wedding errands, I’m thrilled to be going kayaking again (I’ll bring my camera this time!), meeting up with H’s friends and getting together with Jess and Kim Sunday am for a walk (woo hoo!).  It looks glorious through Sunday and I plan to take full advantage of it!

Workouts have been pretty good this week too!

  • Monday - H and I walked 4.2 miles in 1:28 – I told him we have to pick up the pace a little in prep for the Navy 5 Miler in a couple weeks, which we are going to do together (I’m totes wearing my Bride to Be sash!)
  • Wednesday – Kim and I walked 4.92 miles in 1:17
  • Thursday - I biked 13.5 miles in 41 minutes at the gym
  • Friday - tonight we have dancing lessons (SO MUCH FUN FOR ME!), which are 45 minutes long, and I hope to get in a workout at the gym beforehand as well. 

Since Felicia is out, I should really sign up with another trainer for these few weeks before the wedding, but honestly I feel like I just want to wait to use my sessions when Felicia is back, after the wedding.  I found a GREAT kettle bell workout in Women’s Health and hope to WILL start doing it.  Confession – I also totally bought Body by Bethenny – a yoga-ish workout by Bethenny Frankl of the Real Housewives of NYC.  I can’t wait to try it!  I’m kind of obsessed with her!

Happy Almost Pumpkin Spice Day!  Aka – Happy Almost Weekend!

ONE MONTH!!

  1. Congrats on the one month and meeting your goals! And I love pumpkin bread, bring it on! Food is the best part of the fall!

  2. I stopped tonight and took a Pumpkin Latte into “The Salty Mine” (my evil but necessary part-time job). Tried to be reasonable by ordering it “skinny” which ended up being with “pumkin base”, skim and “a smidge” of whipped cream. I too used to treat myself to something after my Sat AM WI with Melvin. My ritual was a sesame bagel, light cream cheese and a Venti SB coffee with sugar and half-and-half. ONE. ONCE PER WEEK. Ah the restraint of old!
