GET THE LOOK: Robin Hood Themed Wedding

The last of my boyfriend suggest wedding themes... Think Kevin Costner rather than Disney, woods, lots of flowers, dancing, merriness and big buffet style family eating!







GET THE LOOK: Oriental Themed Wedding

To be honest this theme isn't very specific, but picks out the main flavours from many oriental country Weddings.  Lots of Red, fans, bamboo, cherry blossom and romantic lighting.  Some brides might even consider a tradition dress for the marriage ceremony and a white wedding dress for the reception (or visa versa).







GET THE LOOK: Android Themed Wedding

The little green symbol for the tech software seems to have become very popular with his fans... even having themed wedding around him!








GET THE LOOK: Star Wars Themed Wedding

If I am honest this is really not my idea for a wedding theme, I am not sure how well it can be done without looking a little silly, but I have scoured the internet for images that I think do it justice! my boyfriend is a big Star Wars fan and think this is great :-)

GET THE LOOK: Lego Themed Wedding

I can not believe that after 3 years of blogging about themed weddings I have only now considered covering off Lego!   It's Lego, how could I forget about it.

From Wedding cakes, to rings and ring holders, flowers, table decorations, seating plans, name cards, gifts and so much more you can have as much and as little Lego theme as you like :-)








GET THE LOOK: Birthday Themed Wedding

So I realised yesterday there is a month until my birthday, which got my thinking.. a lot of guys propose on birthdays (is this an easy option?), so could you get married on your birthday or have a birthday themed wedding, after all a birthday doesn't have a theme other than to celebrate!

The Weekend Friendly Diet = 4:3 Diet

I've been hearing all about this 5:2 diet, where you fast your body two days a week... since I just can't manage only 500 calories for one day I've come up with my own diet that's slightly more friendly and easier to manage... just takes a little more time to get the results, hopefully they should last longer though?

The 4:3 diet (or the weekend friendly diet as I call it) consists of 4 days a week, usually Monday through Thursday eating only 1200 calories (1500 if male) which can not include carbs, red meat, sugar, salt or spices.  Best to sick with white meat, fish, only pepper and steam or grilled - plus lots of veg.  Drink lots of water and green tea.

You also need to include 30 - 60 mins of cardio exercise and toning each day Monday through Friday.  I also try to do a 15 min run Saturday and Sunday (doesn't always happen).

After low fat breakfast (I am sticking to a small bowl of Alpen) on Friday you can eat and drink as you please until Monday morning :-)

I've been sticking to these rules for 2 weeks now and I've already lost 1/2 inch from my stomach and some of my thighs and bum... I don't like to weigh myself as I don't think it reflects the weight loss.
