The wedding is the most important day in every girl’s life. We start dreaming about that day from the moment we realize there is someone out there that’s going to be just perfect for us and that will make us the happiest we could ever be. We dream about the venue, about the music, the right and the moment we say “I do”, but the things we envision the most is the wedding dress. However, to be able to look amazing in that perfect dress, you need to be in the best shape of your life.
There are so many different types of dresses nowadays, and no matter what you want, you can find it on the market or get it custom made. It is a known fact that you can find a dress that will look good on you, but if you want to enjoy those wedding photos and if you want to remember this day as the day you looked just perfect, you need to work on your shape.
Every girl thinks that she could look slimmer and that she has a few extra pounds. The first thing you need to do is accept yourself and love yourself the way you are. You are beautiful and you look amazing! However, if you want to lose a few pounds and if that is something that would make you happier, then we have great news for you! We created this guide to help you get in the best shape, so you can dance the night away as that dress shows off your sexy curves.
Drink enough water
If you want your whole body to rejuvenate, then you need to drink more water. This will make your skin look better, it will revitalize your hair and it will help your body get rid of toxins and burn fat faster.
No matter what you do, if you don’t hydrate, you will not be able to get in the shape you want. If you are not used to drinking a lot of water, start slow. If you are used to drinking a glass or two, you should not jump to 8-10 glasses per day. That will overburden your kidneys, and may do more harm than good. Start by increasing the number of glasses of water you drink per day until you get to the number you want. Talk to your nutritionist or doctor about how much water is going to be enough for your body type and age. Even though there are some rules that you need to drink 6-10 glasses of water per day, that does not apply to everyone.
Change your diet
You cannot lose weight if you eat sweets and carbs all the time. This does not mean that you have to give them up completely, but the faster you cut bad foods from your diet, the better results you are going to have.
You can also try some of the diets that are recommended. Dietzones.com suggests that the grapefruit diet can help you lose weight fast. It is a great choice for a diet before your wedding because it balances your blood sugar levels, as well as cholesterol.
Choose a type of diet that won’t starve you and that will still let you get all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Consulting with a nutritionist before a crash-diet is a must because they can help you find the best way to lose weight in a healthy way, and not experience the yo-yo effects as soon as you start eating other things.
Exercise
Find something you like to do and start with it as soon as you change your diet. That way you will help your body get rid of the excess fat in no time. It is best to find a type of exercise you enjoy so you don’t feel like this is something you have to do. If you like walking, then do it. You could also run, or hike. If you don’t like to do things outside, then you can join a gym and do your exercises there.
It is said that when you do things with a partner, it is going to be easier for you and you won’t give up. You can talk to your partner about doing this with you, or you can just take the bridesmaid or the best man to keep you company and help them look better for your wedding.
You should try and find a trainer, as they will help you focus on the parts of the body that are out of shape. Follow their advice and don’t overburden yourself. If you work out too much, you may damage your muscles and you will have to rest for at least a few weeks. Take things slow and you will see the results in no time.
Change your mindset
Even though your goal is to look amazing for your wedding day, you need to change your mindset. That day will come and go, but you need to start doing something so you look the best you can every day of your life.
Your end goal should be your health, and you should focus on doing these things because you want to have more energy for your everyday life, not just for one day. Find a type of diet that works for you, choose exercises that you enjoy and remember to have fun while you are doing these things.
Getting in shape for the big day is not a hard thing to do. You just need to focus on the things you want to achieve and set reasonable goals. If your wedding is in one month, you cannot lose 20 pounds in a healthy way. Put yourself and your health first and choose things that will help you make your dreams come true.
The support of your family will help you stay on the right path, but even if you have a cheat day once in a while, you should not dread about that. Everyone is extra stressed just before the big day, so you can let yourself eat candy once in a while.
