Custom Fitness Concepts

Exactly one year ago, I tried out my first boot camp fitness class with CFC!
My sister found them on Groupon and bought it for me thinking it would be a great idea to try before my wedding.  Best decision ever.
I went for the whole month of July and saw results.  I had to take a month off but I was back in September and never left.



Reasons I Love Boot Camp:

-I'm strong as a beast! When I started I could barely pump out a push up or burpie.
-I now LOVE burpies.
-I love running!  NEVER thought in a million years that running would be a hobby of mine.
-I love my trainers
-I've never been able to stick to a work out except for this.
-The work outs are changed up and never the same.
-I've made some great new friends.
-I have a NICE ass.  My husband thanks you CFC!
-My tummy is flatter ( I know there's a 6 pack under there somewhere...)
-My endurance on most days is unbelievable.  I can accomplish so much more than I thought ever before.
-They have 6PM classes for those that aren't morning people (ME!)
-Pregnant women still do boot camp and it's so inspiring to me!  I now know that I have no excuses whenever we decide to try for round 2.
-Gives me motivation to eat healthier (most of the time... still need to work on that)


So it all started with me wanting to get in shape for the wedding and now it's much more than that.
It's *Adult Time* and socialization that I can go to 2-3 times a week and it's also good for my body.
I feel great!  I'm not exactly where I want to be, but I know I'll get there.

If you're looking for something new to try and throw away that gym membership that you never use, then Custom Fitness Concepts is for you.
They have groups all around NOVA, DC & Maryland.

The Backwards Bride has had over 3,000 hits!
What?! That's amazing!
Thank you, thank you.
It really excites me.

I've been thinking about starting this blog about a year ago and didn't officially publish my first post until the end of October.
I do not know where this blog will be in the future, but I have high hopes for it.

At first, I just wanted to see if I could keep up with it... and for the most part I can.
I'm also meeting some pretty awesome people.
I hope to continue to bring on new followers, maybe even make some money with it eventually.
There's also conferences/conventions that I've heard about that spike my interest.







To everyone that's been following my blog so far... THANKS!

My daughter has officially had THREE Birthday parties...

HOLY HELL!

Where'd the time go?


Just a quick trip down memory lane...


Birthday #1





Birthday #2





Birthday #3







HAH!  It's been a fun ride with this little lady.

This year we were finally able to throw her party at our house.
Princess themed of course.



















We had a cook out.  Which meant the Hubs finally got to use his Father's Day gift!


























Uncle Ian cooked up some Seafood stew and Mac & Cheese...







Let's not forget about the Disney Princess moon bounce!











Briana's friends and family came.  Tia Leyla & Tio Dave drove all the way up from South Carolina to celebrate with us... probably because Briana DEMANDED over Skype to come!




























(Proud Momma!)









I have learned that Cost Co cakes are Amazing.
They are huge, delicious and super duper cheap.


























Another successful party down!
We had a good time and we're so thankful for the people that are in our baby girl's life.
