The Skinny
As I prepare myself for yet another Jillian Michael’s inspired wedding workout, I ask the same question that my friend and fellow bride Heather posed this morning…
What is it about an impending wedding that sends brides and grooms alike scurrying to the gym to lose ten, twenty, sometimes thirty pounds in just a few short months?
I myself have taken to double workouts, given my flexible freelancer’s schedule and sudden urge to become a Victoria’s Secret model. Dessert has magically lost its kryptonite-like ability to draw me in at ten o’clock every evening. Exercisetv.tv has become my new best friend. I even (gasp) drink water.
To Heather, the whole pre-wedding diet and exercise craze is silly. In her experience, brides lose the weight, have the wedding, and then promptly grow to the size of a suburban tract home.
To me, it’s strictly vanity. If I can’t get in shape for my wedding, it ain’t ever gonna happen. Granted, I’ve always been an athlete, but I haven’t been skinny since 2004. If there’s a time, it’s now.

Maybe it’s cuz I’m a guy- but I find Jillian a) a little too male for my tastes and b) frighteningly unattractive.
How’s the workout effort going now? I thought I saw you running in GG Park the other day.
Totally take a mat with you. Hotel floors suck and they’re super hard.
you dont need to workout your fine the way you are. cousin’s honor
