what do BIWs do to unwind from all the wedding planning?

[ficklefaye]

i''ve been working out more, not really to lose weight, but to stay fit and... help get rid of all my nervous energy

how about you?

I've upped my wine intake....from a glass a week to almost a glass every other day...good thing wine is good for you.

I've also upped my Pricescope surfing....

HAHAHA! I''m with you

 

[rhbgirl24]

I''ve been going to the gym more, but that is to shed a few...... and wine is always good!

 

[ficklefaye]

oh i have definitely upped my ps use as well

 

[cocolaw]

i''ve been eating. FYI: the serving size for white cheddar cheeseits is only like 25. i always thought it was 50-nope that''s goldfish. it was NOT fun to learn that i was eating about 400 calories of cheeseits in a sitting

 

[ficklefaye]

oh any snack food in front of me is doomed, i know it''s bad but i don''t pay attention much to those serving suggestions

maybe i should

 

[luvbug]

I stopped planning for a few months LOL
Don''t recommend it though...so much to do before Oct!!

Ditto on the wine

 

[ilovesparkles]

I check PS as if the blood wouldn''t run through my veins if I didn''t. OK, maybe that is a little exaggeration. I do eat more, chocolate. I need to stop that. I read wedding books actually, they make me feel like I am learning something that will become productive and help me out in the long run, which in turn calms me a bit. So, where is my book...

DH (still not use to saying that) and I go for massages!

 

[kittybean]

Get out and do something fun with FI! That''s what I did with my now-DH. We''d go to the zoo, to the waterpark, on a walk to get ice cream, to our favorite pizza place, to the movies, playing board games in the park, etc. It helps you remember what you''re doing all the planning for--getting married to the guy of your dreams

.

 

[ficklefaye]

oh kittybean, you are right, i feel like the only time FI and i go places lately are for wedding related activities, we were planning on doing a mini roadtrip but it turned out to be the only weekend our venue manager can meet with us next month

 

[princessplease]

Working out helps clear my mind from all of the planning. I also watch TV and surf on here to help relieve wedding related stress.

Clean. Play with doggies. Poke at FI. And shop for shoes.

I worked out like mad before the wedding to unwind. It definitely took my mind off planning!

I do something with my fiance everyday that is not related to the wedding. Yesterday we went for a run in the rain. Actually, I''m not sure that was all that fun because it was pooring and we were running the river run alond the FDR which flooded and we got drenched by the cars that think 40mph through a flood is a good idea. lol

To answer the question...it hasn''t been that stressful. We''ve also had a lot of weddings and parties to go to this summer so that has helped some. My bridal shower is this weekend and my fiance''s bachelor party is in New Orleans this weekend. Side note...I''m truly amazed there are 20 guys going on that trip that are all friends from college and they graduated 10 years ago!

i doubt FI and i will be running in the rain anytime soon, but i do agree that it''s important to do some non-wedding activities together, we''re going on a mini roadtrip in a couple weeks so i''m excited about that
